Today tuberculosis kills close to 1,000
Americans a week, however, since the be
ginning of this century the death rate
from tuberculosis has been forced down
from the first to seventh place.
Financial support to wage this battle
against tuberculosis, carried on by the
voluntary associations, comes from the .
annual sale of Christmas Seals which
opens this year during the first week in
November and will continue until Christmas
Every person who buys and uses Christmas
Seals is actively engaged in the war again
st tuberculosis in their own community.
If we fail to send seals to you, please
contact Mrs. Viola Thuma, Palmer, and
seals will be sent on request.

RE CEN T • l/ICl TORS
Mr; Peterson, general freight manager of<
the Alaska Steamship Co. in Seattle, was
a recent visitor to Palmer. He was ac
companied by Mr. T. J. Maloney, the steam
ship agent in Anchorage and Mr. Duyrea
from Ketchikan, who is the general agent
for Alaska.
They were the luncheon guests of Mr. and
Mrs. Clayton Esslinger. James Wilson and
Carl Rasmussen were also guests at the
.luncheon at which wild goat and sheep was
served.
■■Mr. Peterson reports that shipping condi
tions are not too rosy because of labor
trouble. Labor shortages are the result
of the..extra service required by the U.N.
forces in Korea.
JUST A FEW LINES
Last winter it was the "flying cows" that
attracted attention, this fall the at
traction is "flying steers’'. The facts
line up about like this, Walt Cooper and
Harry Ryan are associated with the new own
er of a large herd of cattle that are lo
cated on an Island down near Kodiak, these
cattle were planted on the Island quite a
few years ago by Jack McCord who apparent
ly was unable tq process and market them
profitably. It has been learned that the
grass is good feed and that beef can be
produced but the cost of processing and
•marketing was too high to make the deal
profitable.
The beef will be transported by plane to
Palmer, the distributing center, and use
of the new airport will be of much benefit
to the new owners.
Our sister city of Anchorage got two good
jolts this last week and they weren’t
earthquakes either. Contractors have sued
the city for over four hundred thousand
[dollars on sewer and water lines built
during the last two years claiming that
the city had violated various parts of
their agreement with the contractors. It
seems that the city officials contracted
for certain things and then decided that
they wanted something else or purchased
defective material for the contractors use
which caused them to fail to make accept
able jobs.
jThis should be a lesson for the people of
3almer who want to incorporate and build
big projects with taxpayers money. We may
be sure that our local politicans will be
about like the ones in Anchorage and that
we will probably have about the same suc
cess, unless we can get a higher grade of
officials than Anchorage, One significant
fact is that the same attorney that has had
charge of the Anchorage mess is employed
:y the people, who /want incorporation for
Calmer.__ C,.R«R«_
