CHRISTMAS SEAL
SALE TO BEGIN
The 50th annual Christmas
Seal Sale will go into effect
very soon. “Now is the time to
contribute as generously as pos
sible to this worthy effort,” said
William A. Egan, 1956 Christmas
Seal Sale Chairman for Alaska.
Tuberculosis is still the most
serious health hazard in Alaska,
Egan pointed out. More than 1200
Alaskans are now being Iwspital
ized for tuberculosis. Six hundred

and forty-five were discharged
and the beds re-filled, “Our pro
gess is shown by the fact that
only 50 died from the disease in
Alaska in 1955, in contrast to 250
five years before".
“But watch the new-case rate”,
he stated. Nine hundred and
fifty-five new cases were diagnos
ed last year, more than in the
year previous. “Our new-case
rate is not declining and shows
where the emphasis needs to be
placed. There is a deep reservoir
of infection among us that has
not been reached”.
“Buy and use Christmas Seals",
Egan urged. They represent your
determination to remove the
heartbreak of tuberculosis infec
tion from Alaskan homes. Checks
should be made payable to the
local Sale Chairman or to the
Alaska Tuberculosis Association,
Juneau, Alaska.

Use of Proper Type
Oil in Heaters
Oil heaters, furnaces and stoves
should be types approved by the
Underwriters Laboratoies, Inc.,
F. C. Roberts, territorial fire mar'
shal pointed out this week. If
they are approved, he added, you
can depend on them to provide
the specified amount of heat
safely if you use the recommend
ed type of fuel oil—if you have,
installed the heater properly—
and if you maintain the appliance
properly.
Oil heaters, furnaces and
stoves are designed to provide a
certain amount of heat from a
specific type of fuel oil and if
the user tries to burn or use a
fuel oil other than the specified
type, trouble will result, the fire
marchal cfafoH
Approved heating appliances
will have a little metal plate at
tached and on this plate will be
stamped the following informa
tion: Approved by the Under
writers Laboratory, number of
BTU’s per hour and type of fuel
oil to be used in the appliance.
The types of fuel oil are usually
characterized as follows: No. 1:
Distillate oil intended for vapor
izing pot-type burners. No. 2: Dis
tillate oil for general-purpose
domestic heating for use in burn
ers not requiring No. 1 grade.
No. 3: There is no number three
grade at present. No. 4: Oil for
burner installations not equip
ped with preheating facilities. No.
5: Residual-type oil for burner
installations equipped with pre
heating facilities. No. 6: Oil for
use in burners with preheaters
permitting a high viscosity fuel.
Grade No. 1 is essentially sim
ilar to kerosene and the balance
are heavier or thicker for each
successive lower grade.
Faulty ignition or accumula
tion of soot with attendant fire
hazard may result from the use
of oil of an improper grade, the
marshal warned.
Locally, it has been noted in
the past by the city fire chief,
that the majority of winter fires
calls are in response to flooding,
faulty equipment and sooted
equipment of oil burning heaters,
furnaces or stoves. Correct type
of oil, clean equipment and pro
per drafts eliminate some haz
CUB SCOUT PACK
MEETING DEC. 7;
BEN MOTHERS NEEDED
The Cub Scout Pack meeting
slated for November 30 has been
postponed to avoid conflicting
with the band concert to be pre
sented on that date by the high
school band. Instead, it will now'
be held a week from Friday, on
December 7, in the high school
cafeteria, starting at 8 p.m.
Parents with boys of Cub Scout
age, interested in enrolling their
boys in the Cub Scout program,
are invited to attend the pack
meeting with their sons.
At the present time there is a
desperate need for Den Mothers
in the city area, according to Dr.
Richard Foley, acting chairman
of the Cub Scout Committee.
There are no operating dens
within the city, solely because
there are no den mothers avail
able. No previous experience is
needed. Training will be provid
ed if desired, and hand books
and a monthly magazine, all gear
ed to help the den mothers with
their meetings, are made avail
able to all den mothers without
charge.
Out of the 35 registered Cub
Scouts in the valley, only those
in the dens of Mrs. Eloise Smith
and Mrs. Mary Doherty are oper
ating. One new den is being form
ed at the Experiment Station
farm by Mrs. Curtis Dearborn.
At least three, and preferably
four, den mothers are needed in
the city section of the valley.
“If space is a problem, we can
no doubt make arrangements
for a meeting place,” Dr. Foley
stated. Dens are usually kept to
five or six members.
Any woman, whether or not
she has a boy of Cub Scout age,
who is interested in helping in
the Cub Scout program, particu
larly in the city area, is asked
to contact Dr. Foley or other
committee members, at the pack
meeting on December 7. Den
Chiefs are also needed. Boy
Scouts interested in serving as
a Den Chief are invited to con
tact Dr. Foley.
