Winn, executive sec- retary of the organization, is now being distributed throughout the "rermnry In that report a break- ydown account of receipts and dis- bursements for the past fiscal year given, the work of the past year is briefly reviewed and plans for the coming year are presented. Featuring future activities will be the cooperation between the asso- ciation, the Territorial Department of Health and the Office of Native Affairs. “When there is full | ordination between the agencies,” {explained Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, { Commissioner of Health, “then iplans beneficial to the whole of with a minimum of effort.” An agreement was drawn up be- tween the association and the De- partment of Health in which the sum of $11,625 was contributed to the department, the sum tenta- tively earmarked by the executive board of the association for various projects. This fund will enable the Health Department to secure addi- tional federal funds, since the Fed- eral Government has available for allotment to the Territory a sum equal to the amount expended by the Department of Health for tu- ! berculosis control work. Unless the !pxupecl\ outlined by the board prove impractical or too difficult ! out. It is realized, however, that ideas for growth may unfold. Co-| operating in the work will be Dr. E. W. Morris, District Medical Di-| rector of U. S. Public Health and Medical Director for the Indhn Service. { X-Ray Program | Last year the sum of $5410 was ‘donaled by the association to the department for an X-ray program,| the main portion being allocated | dents. Due to the lack of personnel | tand film, the program was not {completed. Because of the scarcity !ot film, Alaska’s share cannot now be allotted for the X-ray of spe- cific groups, such as students, but {must be spread throughout Territory and used for the re- examination of contacts and for (the follow-up of reputed cases. The $4,500 remaining will be used for the X-rays of medically indigent persons falling within these classi- for future X-ray programs. Rehabilitation Expenses Last year the association paid i rehabilitation expenses for Alaskan patients in Washington sanitoriums, and it will continue this work. There are 25 patients in Riverton and Laurel Beach sanitoriums, both located near Seattle. Subjects rang- ling from high school studies to | technical courses are taught by a full-time teacher. An occupational therapist instructs in woodcarving, sewing, leather work, shoemaking and other activities. The associa- tlon also contributed to the central 1 library. This year, $5,000 of the contri- bution to the department was set aside for the rehabilitation of tu- berculosis patients in Alaska. A start has been made on this pro- gram and if feasible, it may be that in time a rehabilitation di- rector may be employed, in which case the program can be broadened. Other proposed projects include X-ray equipment located strategic- ally in the Territory and such morale-builders as a radio and loud speaker plus a movie projector and screen for the Skagway Sanitorium. For Crippled Children Another item is the contribution co- | |the Territory can be carried out | the fications and what is left x'e!alned. ot $3,000 for the crippled chfldrons program. Dr. Berneta M. Block, head of the Crippled Children’s Program, inserting a few para- graphs into the report, tells of the great need for aid in this work. One of last year's activities soon to be completed, is the taking of kodachrome slides that relate a story showing the details of the home nursing of tuberculosis pa- tients. As soon as the copies are made these will be ready for dis- tribution around the Territory. Na- tive people posed for the slides From donations made to Health Department prior to 1943, the sum of $3,203.55 remained. Ap- proximately $50 of this went for the training | sons trained in the taking of X- rays being otherwise impossible to obtain; and the remainder paid reconversion expenses attendant upon the installation of X-ray ma- chinery on the M. S. health boat giving service through- | out Southeast Alaska Also collaborating in the report were Dr. Norris, with a history of | the Skagway Sanitorium; and Dr.| Albrecht, telling the present status | of tuberculosis in the Territory. Both emphasize the fact that out of an estimated 4,000 cases in the Territory, at the present time there are only 193 beds in to find nurses and hospital at= tendants, so that we can make available the remainder of the beds at the Skagway Sanitorium. Also | they agree that we need more sani- | toriums, enough to hospitalize all infectious cases.
