Chugiak Faced With
Loss of Fire Trucks
According to the October 30 is
sue of The Knik Arm Courier,
published weekly at Chugiak. In
ability of the Chugiak Volunteer
Fire Company to maintain three
fire trucks and a rescue truck in
a constant state of readiness will
force reassignment of the equip
j ment to other Alaskan communit
j ies, it was announced by Ed For
tier, acting director, Department
of Civil Defense.
Chugiak Fire Company Presi
dent Fred Hahn and Fire Chief
Jim* McDowell recently advised
the C-D director that a three
week drive for funds had netted
less than $150.
Vernon Haik, district director
of civil defense, urged all Cit
izens of the Chugiak area to get*
behind the drive for funds to keep
the fire fighting and rescue
equipment operational. He point
ed out that the fire company has
done an outstanding job in the
years since organization with lim
ited funds . . . “this burden
should be borne by the recipient
of the service . . . we cannot af
ford the loss of this equipment as
many thousands of dollars of pri
vate property and much public
domain has been saved by the
fast action of your company, also j
many lives have been saved on
the highway due to the efficient
manning of the rescue truck.”
If the C-D equipment is re
moved from the Chugiak area, it
will leave the fire company with
but one BOO gallon tank truck, one
water trailer, and one chemical
unit. Firemen have assured the
community that they will con
tinue to answer calls to those per
sons who have made their contri
butions, with whatever equip
ment they can keep available.

TB Association
Warns of Complacency
A total of 472 Alaskans were
hospitalized for tuberculosis un
der the auspices of three official
agencies, as of October 1, 1958.
Of these, 441 were beneficiaries
of the Alaska Native Health Ser
vice; 22 of the Alaska Department
of health, and nine were Veterans
Administration patients. An addi
tional 1500 persons were receiv
ing drug treatment at home.
These figures were brought out
at a special staff and committee
meeting of the Alaska Tubercu
losis Assoication which met last
week to plan future program ac
tivities of the organization.
Members of the group discus
sed the encouraging decline of
tuberculosis morbidity and mor
tality rates in Alaska as well as
through the United States, but
expressed a concern about the
complacency and misconceptions
this progress is apt to create. |
They agreed that it would be es- i
pecially unfortunate in Alaska
which has one of the highest tu
berculosis rates in the country,
its death rate among the native
peoples being 10 times that of
“the United States.
“Now more than ever,” they
agreed, “should the Alaska Tu
berculosis Association keep the
pubilic alerted to the dangers of
tuberculosis, and until Alaska’s
tuberculosis figures are substan
tially lowered we must continue
to encourage and participate in
research programs on a national
level, and support and assist in
programs dealing with rehabilita
tion, early diagnosis and patient
services.”
