Weatherman Pre
fers Foreeasting
To Grizzly
*
FAIRBANKS, (/P)—A big griz-!
zly bear that carried off his 70- (
pound pack as easily as a dog with
a soupbone cut short W. K. Oren-,
dorff’s Mount McKinley Park va- j
cation.
The Fairbanks weather bureau
forecaster related that he was
awakened in his sleeping bag by
what seemed to be a wheezing
cough. He was staring up into the
face of the grizzly.
Orendorff said he rolled cau
tiously away in his ba.g then
jumped out of it and threw it at j
the bear. Then he picked up a fry
ing pan and hammered it with a
rock on the theory that a grizzly,
should run from a clamor in the (
night.
Orervdorff still has doubts about
the efficacy of his theory but any
how the grizzly picked up his
pack, containing clothing, candy
bars and food, and disappeared.
With his taste for camping out
dulled, Orendorff headed back for
Fairbanks .Anyhow, he explained,
his frying pan wouldn’t have been
fit to fry his breakfast bacon in.

Tuberculosis
Situation “Incredi
ble” In Alaska
ANCHORAGE. — Alaska’s
“incredible” tuberculosis situa
tion is so critical that it overshad-1
ows all other health problems. Dr. i
A. Bernstein said here yesterday
after touring the Territory with a
team of four other Chicago spe
(
cialists.
Bernstein and his American,
Medical Association colleagues!
from Cook County hospital. Chi-j
cago, have been making a survey
of Alaska at the request of Secre-1
tary of the Interior Krug.
Recommendations for increased j
Alaska health appropriations will
be made to Congress, Bernstein j
said, adding that he would appear1
in person if necessary.
He said a proposed 400-bed na- ^
tive hospital to supplement the
Providence hospital in Anchorage
would be a “mere drop in the
bucket” in view of needed medi
cal personnel and equipment.
Bernstein and his group, travel
ing by plane, have conducted clin
ics in Barrow, Nome. Kotzebue, j
Bethel, Cambell and other Arctic i
villages during the last two weeks, j
They were scheduled to leave
for Juneau today.
During the last 6Vfe weeks 7,465
persons have taken advantage of
the territorial department of
health’s mass x-ray tuberculosis
program. Equipment will be
moved this week to Palmer.

CELLOPHANE FIGHTS
i
BUG “INVASION” |
NEW ORLEANS, La. </P)—'The '
cellophane missing from many |
home front products is used to re-!
pel one type of “invasion”—thati
of organisms through ordinary
dressings into wounds, reported
Dr. Neal Owens, professor of sur
gery at Tulane University.
The surgeon said the cellophane
acts simply as a “mechanical bar
rier’ when included in dressings.
By experiment it was found pos
sible to draw organisms through
as many as 64 layers of moist
gauze.
He suggested use of the cello
phane between a pressure-ban
dage proper and a final layer of
adhesive strips over burns, and
reported such use conserves ma
terials, shortens hospitalization
: and reduces complications.

Skeleton Upsets
Anthropologists’
Theories ^ . /
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. (AV
Recent discovery of an ancient hu
man Vkeleton in a stratus of pleis
tocene gravel on Alaska’s Kodiak
Island should never have hap
pened according to long-held the
ories on the age of the Eskimo, Dr.
Frank C. Hibben, curator of the
University of New Mexico mu
seum of anthropology, said Sat
urday.
Back from an Alaskan field trip,
Dr. Hibben said the bones recent
ly discovered there had aroused
a series of new anthropological
questions.
Anthropologists have claimed
that the Eskimo dated back only a
few hundred years before Christ,
whereas the pleistocene gravel has
an age of 10,000 years B. C., Dr.
Hibben said.
He advanced the theory the Es
kimo fell into a crevice during
some ice-age hunt, and may not be
as old as the gravel in which he
i
was found.
The skull of the skeleton, he re
ported has all Eskimo character
istics.
On the basis of his privately
financed Alaska trip. Dr. Hibben
said he hoped to show how a group
of people older than those of the
folsom culture came to New Mex
ico during the last inter-glacial
period.
