So its citizens believed that all the rest of the world as picturesque and peaceful as Skagway, and so haved themselves according to this belief.

While Alaskans are paying moye for public heaith | on a per capila basis than the average in the States, i the total amount is far short of meeting the end. However, because Alaskans are doing all they can to| meet their health problems, the Federal government has been more inclined in recent years to be more generous with matching funds for public health. The X-ray survey of 45,000 Alaskans of all races indicates that among the whites in Alaska there is less TB than in the States, but the rate among the natives is far above the national average. This is another reason why the Federal government cannot neglect the TB problem in Alaska. present follow in Technical Class, ix—Private, Pvt. Ist Class, tiohe. H | | Private, none. Civilization, Alas, Is Not for Alaska (Ketchikan Chronicle) We were talking with an expert in electronics the other day who remarked that Alaska will always be sort of a frontier, even though a half million or million persons come up here to make their homes. His reasoning is that television (video to him) and facsimile transmission are virtually impossible in Alaska because they function only to the limits of the horizon. The horizon, in many parts of Alaska, is only a few miles.
