Doelker, referring to House Bill No. 30 which was passed by the Senate and House and vetoed by the Governor. This bill would have regulated all non- medical practitioners under one board of authority and assured the public of qualified licentiates, irrespective of favoritism. Chiropractic being the only Alaska legalized non-medical profes- sion at this time subject to a four-year course of instruction--4000 hours. Dr. G. A. Doelker Juneau, Alaska Dear Dr. Doelker: G. A. DOELKER Secretary Board of Chiropractic Examiners Sitka, Alaska April 10, 1945 1 am somewhat at a loss to understand the responsible factors which no doubt brought pres ure to bear on the Governor, and his resulting veto of House Bill No. 30, “An Act to regulate Non Medical Healing”. Irrespective of the factors at hand, politics or pressure influence, said Act was really a necessary measure to protect the public from impost- €rs , fakers and quakes in all branches of Non Medical Healing. Surely we can have laws governing doctors who are not qualified to practice, or those who may misrepresent their professional qualifications. Our lives are not safe entrusted in the hands of such a doctor, for that was my experience Reed, now at St. cumstanc to my sorrow. Another case h Ann’s Hospital, ere from Sitka, Elmer Juneau, has met with similar cir- If the Governor, or any of his legal advisers wish to learn the true facts, and just why House Bill No. 30 was of major importance to the geferal public of Alaska, call on Mr. Reed, St. Ann’s Hospital, and be enlightened as to the emergency needs at hand. I certainly appreciate the interest which you have shown in fighting for laws of public interest, and of which the future welfare of Alaska depends, without favoritism to any special group. Yours very truly, TAXPAYER AND CITIZEN OF ALASKA is i acting as defense counsel, while the| business. 1Mrs. Gruening Is EnterIalmng | Mrs. Ernest Gruening this after- noon entertained with a bridge- ‘lun(l‘lnn at the Governor's House, honoring two recent arrivals in Ju- neau, Mrs. Ralph Rivers, wife of Attorney General Ralph Rivers, Mrs. |Leonard Smith, wife of Highway | Ccmmissioner Leonard Smith, and also Mrs. Robert B. Atwood, who is visiting in Juneau. Mrs. Atwood is the wife of the Editor and Publisher of the Anchorage Times. ‘WSCto Meet On Friday Affernoon The World's Service Circle will meet for their regular monthly business session Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Northern Light Presbyterian Church parlors.

GRIFFITH IS ON VISIT IN THIS CITY: Mrs. Elizabeth Griffith is now visiting her son-in-law and daugh- ter here, Mr. and Mrs. M. J.

'NEAR DISASTER PREVENTED BY GRIZILY BEAR : Accounts of a last-mmutn rescue— worthy of a chapter in any tale of toilers of the sea—but only appended as a footnote to the record of the most recent voyage of Fish and wildlife Service Vessel Grizzly Bear, were disclosed here today. The Grizzly Bear, under Capt. Clarence Matson, was returning from a field trip for the department, when, Monday morning at 10 o’clock 1t the tail end of last week end’s storm, she came upon the seine boat Florence, out of Tenakee, with owner Charles Willis'and one com- panion aboard. Her engine dead the Florence was in imminent dan- ger of being shattered upon the rocks at the north end of Barlow Island. The Florence was but a few yards from destruction when she was sighter and her plight discerned. The Grizzley Bear approached as closely as possible to the stricken craft, but was still out of heaving distance of the Florence when she ran out of water. With the Florence mcmentarily stayed from being dashed to destruction by the surg- |ing seas, a skiff was put off from ‘the derelict vessei”in an attempt to put a towing line aboard the Grizzley Bear. The first attempt proved futile, as the skiff was soon swamped in the swells. A second Itry did succeed and the Wildlife ves- el took the Florence in town until a lee shore was reached off Shelter ) Island. There, the Florence's engine was put back into operation and she put !back to Tenakee, while the Grizzly Bear continued to Juneau. The incident was closed. 38, ERO NS ELLIS AIRLINES IN FROM FIRST CITY An Ellis Airlines plane, piloted by Hugh Ramsdall, arrived in Juneau today with the following passengers from Ketchikan: Kenneth A Young and two enlisted men.
