Any community in Alaska way non: retain 20fj

if it is i.illing ;,o organise a Committee or
Affiliated Association and sign an agreement

ilar to the one the ATA signs with the Nat
ional Tuberculosis Association, The i.ork is
carried on under definite rules for expen
diture which years of experience have taught
the National Association to be the most pro
fitable ways of handling the funds of a vol
untary agency. Gone communities feel that
their returns are so small that effective
use cannot be made locally of their 20$ share
and accordingly contribute their entire Seal
Sale receipts to the. general fund whereby
larger projects can be set up which are cf
benefit to all sections of the Territory.
Other communities feci that the possibility/
of local use of a portion of their returns
is an inducement for larger Geal Sales,
This latter result has been a con: on exper
ience.
In order to keep administration overhead to
a minimum, the Alaska. Tuberculosis Associa
tion has made a practice of using the facil
ities of the organised medical agencies of
the Territory wherever possible. In 19LB-U
the sun of 06,399*42 was disbursed throiigh
the Alaska Native Service to help round out
their nodical and therapeutic programs at
their various hospitals in the Territory,
