ALASKA WATER POLLUTION
BOARD HOLDS FIRST MEETING
Alaska Water Pollution Board
held its first organizational meet
ing in Juneau last week. The board
is responsible for administration of
the Alaska Water Pollution Act,
passed by the last legislature to
safeguard Alaskan waters from pol
lution and establish standards of
water purity which affect public
health, fish and wildlife, recrea
tion and industrial development.
Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, commis
sioner of health, was appointed ex
ecutive secretary of the board and
Amos J. Alter of the Health De
partment staff was named admin
istrator of the program.
Representatives of the U.S. For
est Service, Territorial Department
of Fishries, Fish and Wildlife Serv
ice, Alaska Native Service and the
Alaska Salmon Industry appeared
at hearings held following the or
ganizational meetings. Testimony
centered on whether discharges
from proposed pulp mills would af
fect the salmon run. It was pointed
out that although precautions have
to be observed by pulp mills using
the sulphite process, all waste may
be utilized in a new-type pulp pro
cess with no resulting danger.
As the water pollution act covers
all water of the Territory, the board
now has to determine standards of
water purity. Authorities will be ap
pointed as members of an advisory
committee to determine these stan
dards. The advisory committee will
be representative of the govern
mental agencies and private indus
tries of Alaska. Plans for the con
struction, extension, installation or
operation of any Territorial sewage
system or treatment works now re
quire approval by the board.
If there’s anything worse than
a waffle that’s cold
Or mashed potatoes five days
old,
It’s suddenly meeting an old fat
hen
Whom you loved in 1910.
Do you know your house number?

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
OF CHILDREN'S CHRONIC ILLS
A limited program aimed at the
diagnosis and treatment of chrdnic
diseases of children and the con
trol of rheumatic fever will begin
soon according to Dr. C. Earl Al
brecht, commissioner of health. He
said that although the amount of
rheumatic fever in the Territory is
unknown, more than a million per
sons, young and old, in the states
are affected by rheumatic fever and
rheumatic heart disease.
As the only effective treatment
for rheumatic fever is a long rest
in bed, children referred in by pri
vate physicians and public health
nurses will be sent to a diagnostic
center. Probable location of this
facility will be at Juneau.
Dr. Virginia M. Cobb, newly ar
rived pediatric consultant, will be
in charge of the program. A gradu
ate of Columbia University School
of Medicine, Dr. Cobb has practiced
pediatrics in Arizona and California
for a number of years. She is certi
fied by the American Board of
Pediatrics and is also a Fellow of
American Academy of Pediatrics.
Boss: “Shame on you. Do you
know what we do with office boys
who tell lies?”
Boy: “Yes, sir, when they get
old enough the firm sends them
out as salesmen.”

"PETE" THE PIG HAS 36TH
BIRTHDAY
Perhaps the most historic pig in
American history was “Pete” whose
36th birthday is to be celebrated
this month. “Pete” was owned in
1913 by a ten-year-old Kansas boy
who sold him and gave the pro
ceeds to the American Mission to
Lepers to help a ten-year-old vic
tim of the disease in Siam.
The story was told by the Mis
sion (156 Fifth Ave., New York
City), and more than 200,000 cast
iron, wooden, clay and plastic re
productions of “Pete” have been
made through the years as coin
collectors used, chiefly in churches,
to assist leprosy work. It is report
ed that more than $2,000,000 have
been stuffed in coins and bills into
“Petes.”
