“share American gold" plan
The United States has been any
thing but niggardly in extending
financial aid to Britain and othe.'
war- devastated countries. Cut
sharing American wealth is not
the way to get them back on their
own economic feet. More wealth
must be created if there is to be
enough to go around. And more
wealth can be created only
through greater production.

JUNEAU, (#*'> — The office of
Territorial Gov. Ernest Gruening
announced Saturday that George
Sundborg, former general mana-.
ger of the Alaska Deievopment
board, had been appointed Greun

He succeeds Charles T. Smith,
who resigned early last summer
to return to his lav^ practice in
Illinois after stating publicly the
position was unnecessary and he
found himself with little or noth
ing to do.
Sundborg was a newspaperman
in Washington State and Alaska
before he became associated with
the development board.

ROUNDUP
(By Hugh Fullerton. Jr.)
NEW YORK. Uf)—First returns
on the 1947 high school stars: . . .
J. W. Jeffcoat. 160-pound speed
ster of Columbia. S. C., Olympic
H'gh, scored six touchdowns in
his team's opener against York on
runs of 95, 92, 65, 45, 32 and 5
yards. Two others were called
back. . . . The next week Jeffcoat
tallied three time s and averaged
nearly 20 yards per carry, despite
a cracked rib. On the next-to-last
play of that game he suffered a
fractured vertebra and won’t play
again until next year, but the
college scouts will be watching
him then. He’s State high school
sprint champ and they say he’s
faster than Charley Justice was in
his school days and just as elu
sive. . . . Vin Drake of Ansonia,
Conn., high pitched a pass 53
yards in the air to teammate A1
Webb to score against Shelton . . .
Rocky Mount, N. C., High boosts
an attendance of* about 5,000 for
each of its first two games—out
of a 34,000 population.
When the Dodgers clinched the
National league pennant at 11:39
p.m. <EDT' it was obvious that
many of the players already were
snuggled in bed and wouldn’t cel
ebrate until the next morning. . . .
The Topeka. Kas.. State Journal
took official notice of that fact
with an eight-column headline:
“Revelry at Reveille for Bums as
’ards Lose.”

Community Will
Receive Report Of
X-ray Examination
Many pe.osns in the Nome area
who take advantage of the com
munity chest x-ray survey will
receive through the mail, a white
•arc! entitled “Report of X-^ay
Examination.”
On this card will be stamped the
project number of the Nome sur
vey, the film number of the per
son’s x-ray, and the date taken.
There will also be checked one of
the following three items: normal
chest, healed primary tuberculo
sis, or healed pleurisy. This jcard
is the individual’s record of his
x-ray and means that at the pres
ent time, there is no sign of a lung
condition which required further
care at this time.
A great number ol' adults have
had primary tuberculous, prob
ably which occurred during child
hood, and which healed of its own
accord. A person with active pri
mary tuberculosis is rarely ill and
the patient usually recovers with
out knowing that he has had tu
berculosis. This type is rarely
dangerous, even when active,
either to the individual or to his
associates as he can seldom spread
his germs to others. Calcium usu
! ally surrounds the germs, walling
’ them off. and this condition is
1 spoken of as healed primary tu
berculosis.
I Because this wall may break
' down, if the person’s resistance
\ becomes lowered, it is advised
[ that such persons have a yearly
x-ray from their private physician
at the time of their periodic physi
cal examination.
The term “healed pleurisy”
when checked on the card means
WINNING AUTOS
NICE HOBBY
ELGIN, 111. —Add interesting
hobbies: winning automobiles.
That appears to be the prime in
terest of Robert L. Goben, 72, a
bartender here since 1907. In that
year he won his first automobile
at the annual picnic of the Elgin
Bartenders Union—a flashy Max
well touring car. In 1915 it was a
Ford. In 1940, he got a Chevrolet.
And at this year’s bartenders’ out
i ing he was declared winner again
| in the picnic raffle. This time it
! was a brand-new Mercurv.
I_
! that the individual at some time in
! the past has had pleurisy, either
of a tuberculous or other origin,
which has healed. Pleurisy is a
disease of the lining of the chest
cavity and the tissue surrounding
the lungs. If this is checked on the
! card, it is important that the indi
vidual have periodic chest x-rays
so that the condition may be fol
lowed.
A normal chest means that there
is no sign of disease in the chest
area. Persons with other condi
i tions present will be notified by
letter or phone.
Taft Pledges
Social Legislation
PORTLAND, Ore. (JP)—A pow
erful campaign to force early ac
tion by Congress on so-called “so
cial” legislation was mapped Sat
urday by Senator Taft <R.-Ohio'
as an apparently integral part of
his expected bid for the 1948 Re
publican Presidential nomination.
Despite his forecast of opposi
tion by other Republicans, the
Ohio Senator stood committed to
head a drive for legislation to ex
pand old age assistance, increase
unemployment compensation, con
struct public housing and provide
state-administered federal aid for
health and education.
All this, Taft told an audience
of Republican club members at
Gearhart, Ore., Friday night, may
cost the federal government a bil
lion dollars a year.
Conceding that the after-w’ar
budget situation may force a
"modest beginning,” nevertheless
Taft said he believes “the Repub
lican party will and should pro
ceed with these measures in the
next session."
