E GOVERNOR | SEES FUND SHORTAGES (Continued 1:om Page One) | Announcement of Captain Lath- rop’s contribution was made on the i0th birthday anniversary of the school President, Dr. Charles Ernest Bunnell. “If the University of Alaska—A land grant college—could be assured of federal allotments it would re- ceive under statehood, it would not Le necessary to pass the hat to save it,” the Governor asserted. “The University’s plight is only one ins- tance of discrimination against American citizens living under Ter= ritorial form of government.” | A second example, he said, abolishment of the Alaskan head- quarters of the Coast Guard al- though the Territory has twice the coastline of the entire United States. He cited operation of Coast Guard Administrative and Operational Headquarters at Seattle, San Fran- cisco and Long Beach, and declared: “If Alaska was represented in Washington by two Senators and one Representative, this would never nappen. In time of peace even na- tional defense follows the pork bar- rel system.” He said that two years before the war, Alaska's only defense instal- iation consisted of 200 infantrymen at Chilkoot Barracks without ma- chine guns or anti-aircraft weapons —and that Alaska was the only part of the United States invaded by the enemy. “Even today,” he said, “though the military command in Alaska is fully alert, the Army has not got the stuff to repel a full scale mod- ern invasion.” - e - COMMUNICATION | Alaska Native Sanatorium, Sitka, Alaska Editor: i The Daily Alaska Empire, Dear Sir: | Since the mistreatment of the !young former patient has been exposed and is the object of pub- lic concern I believe I have suf- ficient justification in taking up- on myself in behalf of my fellow patients to state our plaint and point of view openly. | Having witnessed that indident as a patient in the same ward of this sanatorium I believe the printed story to be somewhat ex- aggerated and overstated. I wish to point out that the hose used was not as heavy as stated, was for patients’ head shampocs used in rinsing. It had a sprinkle attached to one cnd‘ and the other fastened to a faucet when used. It was a half- | inch hose of about four-foot length. ! The nurse involved looked down on Indians and was more severe than necessary but not to extreme. But what we believe to be of more concern and deserving of mmediate investigation is the food situaticn. We patients of both ‘he hospitals and school pupils are served from the same Kkitchen and menu. In all' that I state, the ma- jority of patients here will con- firm. The meals are so poor that the majority of us have been able to | consume of most meals only bread and canned or powdered milk. We are served dehydrated pota- toes and eggs as well as other mix- tures. K Our main meat diet is reindeer meat, more than over-| ripe from time in storage, caus- ing many to push trays away with nausea effects. | This upsetting diet is daily of at least five days of the week. We receive this sort of diet’ when proper, nourishing meals are supposed to be half our treat- ment. In addition to these putrid meals we are served on meatless days uneatable fish gaffed from spawn- ing creeks by school boys during the summer months and kept in celd storage for later use. This fish would probably make fair animal food, but is unfit for hu- man consumption. ‘These dehydrated foods, all sur- plus from the Army and Navy, and reindeer, the fish, surely does not cost if anything more than freighting costs to secure by the Indian Service. The amount allowed per patient and -pupil is said to be $1.08 a day for 1500 persons. We patients as well as a few employees have kept up contin- ious ‘complaints to the managerial department, but always with the zame resulting empty promises that they will look into and see if conditions can be improved. If your newspaper will acknow- ledge these statements we will be deeply grateful indeed. ‘We patients are ready, willing witnesses to anything beneficiary to our weliare and the restoration of our health. Thank you. (Editcr’s Note: The above com- munication is signed by 45 male patients of the sanatorium, with a notation that the female pat- ients could not sign since rules prohibit ‘ward-to-ward commun- ication; however, all are sald to feel the same as those who sign- ed.) g | were CURTIS SHATTUCK IS DISTRICT CHAIRMAN, LGCAL BOY SCOUTS Scouters of the Gastineau Dis- trict met Saturday, January 10, in the Terrace Room of the Baranof Hotel and unanimously elected Cur- tis Shattuck as District Chairman,| Tom Cashen as Vice Chairman, and |w.

Scout Activities The following activities have taken place in the different phases of the Scout Program: CRGANIZATION and EXTEN- SION: Art Hedges, Chairman. A Boy Fact Survey, although not inclusive, paved the way for organi- zation of a new troop and two new packs, and a Lroop now organizing. New units are Troop 23, Holy Trinity Church; The Catholic Church is now organizing; Pack 9, Methodist Church; Pack 10, Douglas. A pack or den is needed at Auk Bay. Dur-| ing the year Troop 614, sponsored by the Lions' Club became inactive, The District at present has seven troops five packs, one senior unit for a total of thirteen units. ADVANCEMENT: W. W. Tuttle, Three District Courts of Honor three Troop Courts of Honor, were held during the year. One District Court of Honor was held at summer camp. A very outstanding Court of Honor at which most officers were in attendance. In 1947 some of the finest Courts of Honor ever conduct- ed in the Di ct were held. TRAINING: Milt Furness, Chair- man This Committee began the Scout-' masters’ Round Tables, trained the officers of Pack 9, gave training to the Douglas Committee and Scout. master., Formal training courses conducted at Skagway. CAMPING and ACTIVITIES: Leo Jewett, Chairman. ' Summer camp of 41 boys and seven leaders at various times. The Dyea Trail which was the first Ex- plorer Senior Scout trip to be taken Winter camp conducted during the Christmas holidays, two District ral- lies, one at Douglas and one at Ju- neau, were under this Committee. HEALTH and SAFETY: Dr. C. C. Carter, Chairman. Careful check-up was made of the water situation at camp, resulting in the installation of new facilities for the camp site. The two canvas tanks purchased in 1946 for water conservation were replaced by wood- en tanks. The two canvass tanks are for sale at $50 each. FINANCE COMMITTEE Hermann, Chairman Of the thirteen units in the Dis- trict, nine are operating on the Troop Budget Plan, subscribing to Boys' Life and actively participating in a year around activity program. As a whole the troops and packs are fairly well uniformed. The re- cent Scout campaign netted $3,183.- 90. The proposed budget for this year, 1948, in the Gastineau District which ineludes Juneau, Douglas, Sit- ka, Skagway and Haines is set at $7,728. The following oflicers were nomi- nated in addition to the above of- icers, by the District Nominating Committee, consisting of E. L, Keit- hahn, Ellis Reynolds and Fred Hen~ Frank ining, Chairman; George A. Parks, Dr. J. O. Rude, and Charles G. Bur- dick, District members at large. Shattuck was a Scout in the first Scout troop organized in Juneau over twenty years ago. At that time there were only four or five men responsible for the Scouting activity, whereas today many men are as- sociated in Scouting. Shattuck prais- ed the work of Scouting and what it meant to properly train the youth and prepare them for tomorrow. | “Today America is preyed upon by those interested in subversive activities. We need young men well trained in citizenship %0 that when they are sent out into the world they thoroughly understand the ideals of American democracy. Scouting is a very important instru- ment in preparing these voung me,” Shattuck said. DOUGHAS NEWS MRS.
