Tuberculosis, winch causes the
deaths of more people betwecen

can be pre

CO—ict
did disease, s
| it is spread 5
by persons 5
with “open
TB. Unfor
t u n a te ly,
tuberculosis has no symptoms in
its early stage, when it is easiest
to cure. But, fortunately, it can
be detected early by means of a
chest X-ray.
The 3,000 associations affiliated
with the National Tuberculosis
Association, which are engaged
in a year-round campaign against
tuberculosis, urge every adult to
have a chest X-ray at least once
a year. If this were done, the
estimated 250,000 cases of tuber
culosis unknown to health author
ities could be found. When all
cases are found and treatment
provided for the individuals, the
danger of the spread of this dis
ease will be prevented.
Christmas Seal funds help sup
port X-ray services to find un
known cases of tuberculosis.

“The nulls of the Gods grind
slow but they grind exceeding
well.” This quotation is variously
given but it always means the
same thing. I awoke with the
words running through my mind
this morning, and for some obscure
reason they attached themselves
to the sound of the Baranof’s whis
tle. That whistle sounded so good
that I had to go to the door to con
| vince myself that I had not
dreamed it. Fate, Providence, Mills
of the Gods, the Guiding Angel, or
; what have you, decrees that once
again, vve are on our way. Our pa
tience is tried, our temper strained,
and our resistance strengthened,
now we grit our teeth and go on. j
In a few hours the shelves will be
tilled, and we will have begun the
long hard pull to economic re- I
covery.
Economic recovery in Seward
seems somewnat-' dubious in the )
face of the Salisbury Report, but I
tor one shall not be discouraged
by it, because it seems to be‘simply
a recapitulation of the Railroad's
statements for the past ten years.
One wonders what kind of report
would be made if the Seward
Chamber of Commerce could afford
to hire an eminent engineer to
make the same survey. Salisbury's ,
report sounds as if it had been I
written by a man who never had ,
left his own desk, but had used
facts and figures supplied to him
by his client. Did anyone meet the -
man while he made his survey of i
Seward?
Among ourselves I find that we
women are more optimistic about 1
our future than the menfolk. Per
haps it is because we can’t allow j
ourselves to be anything else, and !
are more inclined to put our faith
in Hie God given qualities of our
Bay which the greatest engineers
dismiss so lightly—and creep into
so gratefully.
If is not our intention to bring
anything extraneous to the interest |
of women into this column, but i
i
this report is being discussed so
n li.ci,. and so indignantly among
men and women that it is a part
oi our li\es this week, and we.
cannot put our heads into the sand i
or fight it by ignoring its existence, i
It is a really important document,
and we must seriously consider its |
significance. Perhaps if all the or
ganisations in town that have any |
civic programs should really dis
cuss the Salisbury Report, some
one might %cork out a solution or
some way to combat its disfavor
of our town.
In whimsical conclusion, if I
could be granted one wish as in
tlie fables of old it would be this:
that all the great engineers, all the
authorities of Army and Navy, the
Chambers of Commerce of Anchor
age and Fairbanks, should be gath
ered together in one ship which
would be forced to try to dock at
Whittier in the midst of a winter
storm, then allowed to sail into
Resurrection Bay. The only ob
jection could be that they would
think they had reached Utopia and
would immediately conspire to
make this a boom town and thus
ruin the peace and quiet of an
otherwise near perfect location.
The BABY SITTER situation is
not progressing very rapidly. We
cannot do much until you help us
by supplying the names of baby
sitters. Drop a card or call in the
names you know. So far, we have
four baby sitters on the list:
Esther and Anita Sundl^erg,
Third Avenue, second house right
side from radio station. Recom
mended by Mrs. Bernie Wilkinson.
Marilyn and Jacqueline Ratch
ford, available every night except
holidays. Last house on Second
Avenue, right hand side of street
across from KIBH.
