SanikCjticn Is Health
Problem in Alaska
Fundamental health problem in
Alaska is general sanitation, with
housing, nutrition and control of
tuberculosis about equally urgent,
said Dr. Joseph W. Mountin, As
s' tant Surgeon General of the
United States Public Health Ser
vice. just before leaving Juneau
Oct her a& for Washington. Dr.
Mou.itin, associate chief of the
bureau which provides special Fed
eral funds to State and Territorial
Health Departments, has visited
lie chief cities and many remote
communities of Alaska since the
middle of September, to learn
what special studies must be made
to further the Territorial Health
progra m.
Dr. Mountin said that scientific
tesearch. and in some cases, dis
covery of entirely new methods,
is necessary before Alaska’s health
problems can be full y met. He
stressed the need for a research
institute which would provide fa
cilities for leading scientists to
study living conditions and health
in cold climates.
Many communities will not be
able to expand until they get a
good water supply and sewage dis
posal system. Dr. Mountin said. In
some communities it is just a mat
ter of funds, but in the permafrost
areas, original research is neces
sary. Water purification and sew
age systems used in the States
won’t work in permanently frozen
ground, and present means are
too expensive in Alaska.
The present housing inadequacy
in Alaska is definitely contributing
to health problems, but here, too.
research must be done. Heating
and the expense of building are
the main difficulties. Why could
not some building techniques be
developed. Dr. Mountin suggested,
which would take advantage of
materials already available in Al
aska, and provide for heat, plumb
ing and so on in a really new
way?
On the question of nutrition. Dr.
Mountin pointed out that Alaska
will never have a large population
while it imports almost all of its
food. There is a great quantity of
food value in local plants not now
thought to be edible. Research is
already being carried on by the
Alaska Department of Health, but
the problem is bigger than present
limited funds can provide for.
Matt Sefrovich, well known em
ployee of the Alaska Railroad,
will return to work here Sunday.
Mr. Sefrovich has been suffering
from an infection in his leg for
the past month. The condition was
reported due to an old injury.
When Mrs. Taylor emerged from
her house and started down the
street, she seemed to be in a great
hurry.
“Going shopping?” her next
door neighbor called out.”
“Oh, no,” she called back over
her shoulder, “I haven't the time.
I’m just going to get some things
I need."

“Regulation - - - YES
Throttling - -- NO”
Tie following editorial, reprinted from
Jessen's Weekly, known for its unbiased
stand on important issues, exactly ex
pressed our views on trap fishing and
why it should be continued:
i
.
“Wc have read all the arguments pro and con on the
tish trap question that comes up tor vote next month,
and also having lived tor a time on the coast we can
arrive at but one conclusion—that the traps should he
retained.
” e are not associated with any interest anti have no
political axe to grind. 15ut from the standpoint of con
servation, ctliciency and economy we see nothing to be
gamed by abolishing fish traps, and a great deal to be
lost.
“We have able men in the Fish & Wildlife Service
whose business it is to regulate the use of fish traps and
see that a sufficient number of salmon are able to reach
their spawning grounds. We have confidence in these
men and their ability to do their jobs.
“ We see no reason for such a frontal attack upon the
fishing industry as the campaign against *fish traps rep
resents. We hear a great deal of criticism about absen
tee ownership of Alaska industries at the same time that
Alaskans are urging new capital to come to Alaska. It
has been Outside capital that has developed both the
lishmg and the gold industry. They put money into
Alaska; they provide employment; they pay taxes. The
fishing industry pays the lion’s share of the taxes that
i un the I erritory. Destroy or severely cripple the in
dustiv b\ prohibiting fish traps and we are strangling a
golden-egg laying goose that pays rich dividends^ the
I erritorv.
"More encouragement should he offered States in
vestors to come to Alaska instead of attacks that seri
ously threaten their continued operation.
“Regulation—yes. Throttling—no.”
