ONTB PROBLEM Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, newly- appointed Commissioner of Health, was the guest speaker at the Na- tional Federation of Federal Em- ployees’ monthly meeting, held in the Baranof Hotel at noon today. He explained quite fully the work of the recent Board of Health mecting ‘and the endorsement, by the Board of Health, of the pro- grams as prepared by the staff of | the department. | Probably the most significant single act of the board was its resolution to meet the tuberculosis problem. The people of the Terri- tory seem to be in grave ignorance ! of the danger of this dread disease, thinking it to be a native ailment, which is a great mistake. They | do not seem to realize the sad plight of the many tubercular versons here who are in need of aospitalization, medical care and financial aid, he said Tllustrating the tragic conditions existing among the people of the Territory was a letter which was written by a former patient of Dr. Albrecht’s, who is now residing in a small outlying town somewhere in Southeast Alaska. She wrote to him appealing for help, not for her- self “but for the poor people here.” One-third of the population, which isn't all native, has tuber- culosis, and it is spreading. There is no doctor, nurse, or even beds in which to care for them. As this lady said in her letter: “It's pitiful; ust pulls on one's heart strings to see the children, especially, that must go to certain death just be- cause of neglect.” “It may seem,” declared Dr. Al- brecht, “that this matter should be no concern of ours, because it does not affect us personally. This, however, is a definite misconcep- tion, as tuberculosis strikes all people, not just cne type or color, but everyone.” The Federal Employees responded to the speech by a motion to have the Executive Committee start a research on this prpblem to de- termine just what can be done to help. Anthony E. Karnes was elected third vice-president, taking over Floyd Fagerson's duties. Program committee for this quarter is Mrs. Katherine Nordale, Ernie Lincoln and Kay Kennedy Twelve new members were wel- comed into the Federation. They were: William C. Beach, Warren | and Grace Harding, Jennings Ever- son, Marshall Rafferty, Harny E. Honius, F. R. Horton, Lila M. Jones, Howard W. Fisk, Leland M. Dunlap, Roy S. Clift and William Wine- brenner. Guests at the meeting were: Delegate E. L. Bartlett, Mr. Zack, Mrs. Mabel Runzell, Miss Jane Brant and Earl Cooper.

Backing-Mayor ’ Parsons Opposed | (Continued from Page One) hat the Pacific Northwest is in nuch greater needs of an arterial | iirline route to the North Asiatic countries than is any other section| f the United States. Again, the Juneau Chamber of Commerce is onvinced: that the future economic ievelopment of Alaska, including its srespects for trade with Asia, is more losely bound up with the trade and conomy of the Pacific Northwest han with the Chicago region. “We conclude, therefore, that the sest interest of Alaska as a whole will be served by an airline running from the Pacific Northwest via the mainland of Alaska to the Asiatic ‘ountries bordering the North Pac- ific and will so inform the Civil Aeronautics Board.” | - D SCHOOL FACULTY TO ENJOY BEAN DINNER AT PHILLIPS" CABIN The entire faculty of the Juneau Public Schools will meet tonight at 5 o'clock for an evening's outing at Superintendent of Schools A. B Phillips’ cabin at Fritz Cove.

HEALTH COUNCIL PLANS ROUGH TIME FOR RATS IN CITY A program calling for concerted acticn by all Juneau resident, home- owners, apartment dwellers and busi- ness houses, and designed to control nd eventually eliminate the rats in and around the city, was last night cutlined by James Stone, Sanitarian with the Territorial Health Depart- ment at a meeting of the Gastineau | Channel Health Council. A committee o: representative Juneau people will be named by Trevor Davis, . president of the Health Council, who are to formu- late means of making a city-wide sanitation survey which will be of value to the City and the public at large. After sources of food supply for the rats, as well as their breeding plac have been located and elim- inated, the Health Department will do a complete follow-up with a program of rat extermination by means of poison and other methods in public-areas, and make the nec- | essary recommendations for exterm- | ination in privately owned areas. | It has been estimated that the, rodent population of an average| city equals that of the human pop-| ulation and the average cost in| food spoilage alone is $2.00 per year per rat, which would mean an aver- | age loss to the city of Juneau of | {about $12,000 to $14,000 each year. In addition to the estimated loss| in food spoilage, rats are always a| potential source of plague, such as! bubonic or typhus, and the dangerl is very real that such plagues can be brought into Juneau by rats on ships coming from infected areas. | Merely spreading poison around, or | setting traps, is not enough, as those are only temporary means and rats scon reappear. The surest way to keep our city free of rats, Mr. Stone emphasized, is to keep all sources of food away from the rodents, by such means as making sure all garbage is put into tightly covered metal cans, then properly disposed of, by man- datory means if necessary; make all new construction rat-proof, and so far as possible rat-proof all old con- struction, making breeding places inaccessible to the pests.
