FRIEND | citizens of Fairbanks took dynamic steps to stem the | tide of disaster which this attacker of children pushes before it.

In the finest tradition of nursing they gave unflaggingly of their time and effort to aid the afflicted and the suffering.

There was no fanfare or unwonted publicity con- nected with this act. It was the unselfish and un- requested gesture of an organization noted for such actions The United States air force offered its services and flew an iron lung to Fairbanks from Anchorage to augment the respirator on hand. Medical officers at Ladd AFB cooperated closely with city physicians in tracing new cases as they developed. Individual cash contributions to the March of Dimes fund and to the Alaska Crippled Children’s association were received in Fairbanks.

Lathrov, heeding a request made by him before his death, sent more than $2,000 to the ACCA instead of sending flowers for Cap's funeral services. When it became evident that Fairbanks woulc need another iron lung, the Out-of-Town Nightclub Owners association donated liquor, refreshments and the use of a nightclub for a dance to raise funds to buy another respirator. The affair quickly snowballed into a community project. Musicians donated their time and talent, night- club entertainers offered their talents free of charge, taxicab companies offered to carry patrons to the dance without charge, all the other nightclubs were voluntarily closed for the evening. and hundreds of people attended the dance, with every cent spent during the evening going directly into the iron-Iung and the general polio funds. This affair resulted in the purchase of the iron lung and the addition of more than $2,500 to the Fairbanks polio fund. . The fight goes on. Fairbanks has responded gal- lantly to the call for aid.

In an unpublished ietter to Se- cretary of the Interior Chapman, the Wyoming Democrat warned: “As you are aware, the construc- tion season in Alaska is limited by climatic conditions in that area. Last year considerable time was lost due, among other things, to labor-management difficulties which delayed construction aand the com- pletion of vital defense installa- tions. “It is apparent,” Hunt continued, “that during the coming year there may be further delays, attributable to this same cause. It is the com: mittee’s considered belief -that ev- erything should be done to avoi any further work stoppages due to labor-management disputes. Dec. 12 Alaskan Meeting Chapman fired a letter right back, promising to call a meeting on December 12 of all groups concern- ed with the Alaskan problem. “This department is -anxious to aid in any program which gives promise of meeting the labor-man- agement relations problems and, as a result, contribute to the speedy completion of the *Alaska defense prejects,” assured the Secretary of Interior.
