High de- | mand for industrial emvloyees has kept many veterans and former war workers in the cities. Increasing mechanization of farms has steadily lessened demand for farm labor, and in many areas opporfunities for !small farmers have also tightened i Congested and medieval as cities are, they yet ’ offer more in housing and comforts to low income groups than do rural sections. It is estimated that one third of all rural houses are beyond repair. Only | |18 per cent have running water, 15 per cent mechanical | refrigeration, 11 per cent plumbing. About half of | farm homes pave not been electrified. Carrylng water, | cooking on wood stoves, cleaning lamp chimneys doesn’t appeal to those veterans’ and war workes wives who have known even meager city conveniences. An- other force boosting city population is the natural pull of crowds. The stimulation and challenge of ci thave always appealed to most people. Poets may Dr. W. T. Harrison, U. S.

But the city’s roar is more beguil- | ing because it is a paean, not only to indoor plumb- ing, but to bright lights, entertainment, excitement, human adventure. Not only GIs and former war workers have been successfully wooed by it, but the cosmopolitan delegates to the United Nations as well. They cling tenaciously to the largest, liveliest and most crowded metropolis of the country as a site for their | future home and would have no part in efforts to| locate them in quiet, scenic, restful—and dull—sur- roundings. In fact, not even all the threats and vre- dictions about atomic warfare have as yet caused a Alaskans, according to Dr. Albrecht, run on sylvan retreats. their part in attacking these vexing health problems.

Seattle, Wa ALASKA'S HEALTH PROBLEMS is to solve or even dent its tremendous health prob- lems in tuberculosis, venereal disease, sanitation and lack of hospital facilities. According to Territorial Commissioner of Health Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, a team of doctors representing the American Medical Associaton which surveyed Alaska recently at the request of Secretary of the Interior J. A. Krug also was appalled at the tuber- culosis rate of Alaska and the Territory's inability to cope with the problem are doing (Cincinnati Enquirer) It has become a commonplace excuse of those who ! make a pretense of keeping up with the news of the world that certain situations abroad are too com- plicated to follow, and anyway are of no personal concern. On the first count they are right, or partly | s0; on the second, they may be kidding themselves But we are still unable to make any progress. In other words, both Dr. Albrecht and other medi- cal authorities believe that the problems are too big for the Territory to handle and Alaska must have special financial help from the Federal government if any progress is to be made. As a Territory under Federal control Alaska has a right to expect that aid, especially in view of the fact Greece is a case in point. Whether he realizes it or not, every American taxpayer has a small ntake ‘n Greece as a result of the U. S. program to aid that that Alaskans are paying more toward public heaith country.
