Grand Canyon Guide
Killed In Freak Accident
• GRAND CANYON, Ariz., (i^P)—
A guide died of injuries received
when the mule on which the and
another guide were riding fell
from the Bright Angel Trail. The
death was the first recorded in
many years on the trail.
No visitor to -the Grand Canyon
has ever been killed as the re
sult of a trail accident, although
an average of 8,000 a year take
the trip down the mile - deep
Grand Canyon on the Colorado
River.
Lee Smith, 52, believed to have
been from Aurora, Mo., was the
victim of a freak trail accident.
He had been a trail guide here
since 1945.
Smith and another guide, Lee
W. Roberts, 50, had gone about i
100 yards down the trail to assist j
a third guide who was having a j
bit of trouble lining up.some un- j
mounted mules. They started back j
up the trail and their doubly- j
loaded mule lost its footing, rolled j
to the next switchback of the,
trail about 50 feet down.
Smith and Roberts were brought
to the hospital here and Smith
died some five hours later.

Native Dogs Spread
Tape Worm Disease
According to Jessen’s Weekly, a
deadly tape worm disease spread
by native Alaska dogs has led the
Alaska air command to prohibit
the removing of native dogs from
St. Lawrence Island, the Seward
Peninsula and the Arctic Coast.
Known as a hydatid disease, it
is caused by a tape worm that
forms a tumor-like growth, us
ually in the liver. If the cyst
bursts, the result is usually fatal.
The Arctic health research cen
ter of the U. S. public health ser
vice is leading a program to" stamp
out the disease that is more wide
spread in Alaska than anywhere
else in the world.
Robert Rausch and Everett L.
Schiller, parasitologists, have
found that of 242 natives in two
villages on St. Lawrence Island,
more than 20 per cent reacted
positively to the disease when
given skin tests. Because of the
close association of dogs with the
natives there is unusual oppor
tunity for human exposure.
Dogs are believed to pick up
the disease by eating a small field
mouse and discarded parts of
WATER PURIFIER WORKS
LOS ANGELES, <#>)—An answer
to one of the great hazards of a
major disaster—contamination of
a city’s water supply—may be a
portable purifying unit invented
by a California Institute of Tech
nology professor.
Dr. Alexander Goetz’ 12-pound
j “sanitizer” has been tested by
county health officials and proven
capable of turning murky water
from the Los Angeles River into
a clear, drinkable liquid.
The unit sucks up water like a
small pump and filters it through
powdered earth that renders dan
gerous bacteria harmless, Dr.
Goetz says. He estimates it can
be produced for from $30 to $50 a
unit and can purify 50 quarts of
water an hour at a cost of only a
few cents per gallon.
moose and caribou that have been
infected.
Recommendations made by the
I scientists for combatting tfye dis
ease involve prohibiting the ship
ment of dogs from areas of high
incidence, disposal of mongrel
dogs non-essential to the economy
of the native population, keeping
dogs confined outside native vil
i
i lages, and public education.
