Native Villages Need
Improvement In
Sanitary Conditions
Juneau. Alaska (Special) - Con
siderable improvement is needed
in the sanitation conditions of
most Alaska native villages ac
cording to Bob Druxman, Juneau
public relations counselor, who re
cently marie an inspection of Arc
tic and Interior Alaska native vil
lages for the Alaska Native Service.

Baked by Mrs. Bilby

I l e a s e d recently, recommended
changes in methods of obtaining
water, disposal of garbage am
! regular home sanitation. It was
particularly concerned with the
present haphazard means of get
ting water for drinking and wash
ing.
Druxman said that very few na
tives have facilities for obtaining
clean, uncontaminated drinking
water particularly during the sum
mer months. He explained that it
is usually taken from nearby lakes
or rivers which are not protectee
from contamination. It is usually
carried in cans and kept uncovered
in the homes where it is agair
threatened by contamination fron
almost any source. During the win
ter months, water is usually se
cured by melting ice but, even this
method, he declared, is not guar
anteed to always produce sanitary
water. The lack of water, partic
ularly during u inter months
makes it difficult to wash heddiim
and clothing and scrub homes as
often as it is felt they should.
He also recommended that na
tives be encouraged to purchase
chemical toilets for their homes
to replace the old fashioned un
sanitary outhouses.

This is a word just to the ladles
of Seward. I have been told that
now is the time for the Cradle
Rocker to come out with Another
word and to -discuss our railroad
situation and the current excite
ment and argument about it. Both
sides of the question have been
brought to my attention. But, this
is the time when I am staying
i strictly out of it on tfye grounds
| that I don’t know enough about
i what is going on to make an in
i telligent observation. This colum
nist is perfectly willing and ready
j to stick her neck out for criticism
when it is necessary, but this busi
ness it too big for anyone who is
'not perfectly familiar with what is
J going on behind the scenes.
There is one vital subject before
the citizens just now besides the
railroad question, that is liable to
I be sidetracked, and that is the
I business of electing our next
: municipal government. There is a
bill before the legislature now to
extend the term of mayor to two
; years. If this is defeated we will
have to elect a mayor as well as
councilman and one member of the
school board, and one to the pub
lic utility board.
; The position of mavdr of a town
this size is a difficult one that re
quires a great amount of time. It
is definitely regretahle that there
is no salary attached to the office,
because it necessarily takes a man
' away from his business so much
of his time that he is bound to
J suffer loss of business. That can
not be remedied right now, so we
j must begin to consider a man who
, is qualified and willing to saeri
| fice himself for the public good.
No one has been publicly brought
; forward as yet for any of the of
! fices open. Therefort# we can only
: prepare ourselves to be able to
i consider any candidate who may
, be offered, without personal preju
dice, and judge him from the
! standpoint of what he may be
j able to do for the town.
Our important job at this date
is to get our names on the books.
Registration is open every day
from 10:00 till 3:00 o’clock, until
the Frdiay next preceding the first
Tuesday in April. On that Friday,
which is April 1, the City Hall will
be open for registration from 7:00
p.m. until 10:00 p.m., as well as
all day.
Don’t let us fail to register.
Every adult, 21 years and over who
has lived in the Territory one year,
( and in the City of Seward for 30
I days is eligible to vote in the
municipal election. There is nearly
I a month, during which every one
of us will be passing the City Hall
some time. So. do drop in, sign the
registration book, and remind the
menfolks to do the same.

boys and girls. Gary bids fair to
become a ski champion because he
is quite proficient already, and it
is said that the two-year-old has
the bearing of a professional.
