CHUGIAK CONSIDERIN'®
FORMING OF
SCHOOL DISTRICT
Commissioner of Education
Don Dafoe met with residents oi
the Chugiak area last, week to
discuss the mechanics of forming
an independent school district.
According to Chugiak Calen
dar Dafoe recommended
Chugiak residents hold off action
until a survey of taxable pro
perty which is being done by tne
Alaska Rural Development Board
is completed. The article quoted.
Commissioner Dafoe as saying
Territorial assistance now receiv
ed for Chugiak schools might be
lost if a local group started pro
ceedings at this time.
A new Territorial law passed
by the last Legislature, requires
that a school area with 100 stu
dents or more (Chugiak has 2ol)
must form an independent school
district if the community can sup
port it. ,
Over 100 Chugiak residents
turned out for the meeting which
was held at the Chugiak school.

Health Department
Recommends Flu
Vaccinations
Reports of extensive outbreaks
of influenza in College, Nome,
Wainwright and Barrow have
been received by the Alaska De
partment of Health, according to
Dr. Charles R. Hayman, acting
commissioner of health. He said
approximately 1,000 cases, most
of which have been mild, have
been reported in the past two
weeks.
All persons working in essen
tial community services in Alas
ka should be vaccinated against
the disease, Dr. Hayman recom
mended, followed by vaccina
tions for all other residents.
“The vaccine is in very short
supply, and is obtained through
regular channels. Many federal
agencies have made local ar
rangements for vaccinations of
their personnel,” he said, “and
the Alaska Department of Health
suggests that territorial agencies
and municipalities do the same.”
Essential workers, Dr. Hay
man said, include doctors, nurses,
pharmacists and others such as
policemen, firemen, telephone
operators and additional work
ers as determined locally. He said
the Alaska Department of Health
cannot make this determination
for the various communities.
Dr. Arthur J. Colberg, city
health officer, said this week that
because vaccine is in such short
supply that it is available at
drug stores »only through physi
cians, who themselves must make
a request for vaccine before the
drug stores are permitted to
make the purchase.
"One of the very best medic
ines that can be recommended in
combating flu," Dr. Colberg said,
"is to go to bed—and stay there.
So many of our energetic resi
dents try to 'fight it off'. This is
a dangerous term. Being Tazy'
and going to bed is a far better
method of fighting it off than
trying to keep going," the health
doctor stated.
Dr. Hayman said the Alaska
Department of Health recom
mends that mild cases be treated
at home, and that hospitalization
be reserved for complicated and
other special cases as determined
by the family physician.
Dr. Hayman said further that
the Health department advises
there is no practical advantage
in closing of schools or the cur
tailment of public gatherings as
they relate to the spread of the
disease. “However” he said,
“each person can help by staying
home during the early phase oi
P-TA .Workshop
October 15 in
High School Library
“WouMj you like to know more
about the new Alaska State
P-TA? Have you hesitated to ac
cept responsibilities in your P-TA
because you felt inexperienced?
Would you enjoy hearing how
other communities of our size
work together as parents and
educators with maximum effic
iency for the welfare of children
in home, school, church*, and com
munity?” asks Faith Krause,
publicity chairman for the Pal
mer P-TA.
A number of practical ideas
and real assistance will be pre
sented by Mrs. Ellen Bieler, field
staff member of the National
P-TA Congress, who will direct
a P-TA Workshop in Palmer on
October 15.
The general session begins at
10 a.m. in the high school library.
Lunch will be served in the
school cafeteria at 11:30 a.m. The
afternoon buzz sessions will give
specific help and clarify duties
of officers and chairmen and ex
change ideas and problems. The
final session will be devoted to
group discussions of larger pro
blems, such as leadership train
ing and responsibility of the
P-TA in the community; plan
ning a yearly program ,and sim
ilar subjects.
Dinner will be served by the
Ladies Aid of St. John’s Luther
an Church in the church base
ment at 6 p.m., $2 per person.
Reservations in advance to be
made with Mrs. Vera Gazaway.
Mrs. Bieler will be guest speak
er at the regular P-TA meeting
that evening and the executive
board hopes many parents will
attend the daytime sessions, es
pecially in light that most teach
ers will have classes during these
hours.

his illness. ”He listed symptoms
of influenza as: Muscular aches
and pains; chills; fever; a dry,
hacking cough; sore throat; high
fever that lasts from one to five
days and often leaves the patient
weak and exhausted.
Dr. Hayman emphasized that
most cases in Alaska have been
mild so far. “It is essential,” he
said, “to plan locally for a more
severe outbreak, even though this
may never occur.”
The Frontiersman Page &
Thursday. October 10. 1957
Christ is “The Life”. Christ i*
in Himself the possessor of the
perfect spiritual life. Such was,
the testimony of the evangelists
and apostles. “In Him was Life".
“The Life which was with the
Farther was manifested unto us”,
etc. The same witness was borne
by the Lord Himself. “I am the
Resurrection and the Life;” “I
Lave”. No mere man can dare to
say, “I am the Life.”
Christ is the principle of spirit
ual life to men. As far as we can
trace it, life always comes from
life. Without this principle the
lifeless matter is powerless.
There is a life which is distinct
ively Christian; and this is al
ways traceable to Christ Himself.
Christ communicates the Life
which He possesses. Imagine the
earth in the chill, hard grasp oef
winter; and in your fancy watch
the changes' that takes place
when that grasp is released. The
sun shines more warmly, the
breezes play softly over the fields
and forests, and the radiant
spring smiles upon the earth. The.
crops spring up, the flowers
bloom, the leaves burst into
greenness, the grove lately silent
and still echoes with the song of
birds, and all creation flushes,
blossoms, murmurs into life. Such
is the change which the coming
of Christ brings to the soul, to
the world. “Newness of Life”
life “More Abundantly” A new
song, new-born joy, the bright
ness and the smile of a glorious
hope,—these all tell that Christ,
“THE LIFE” has come. His ad
vent His sacrifice, His resurrec
tion, His Divine outpouring otfi
blessing, were the means by*
which His spiritual vitality wan
communicated. The same Christ
who gave life at the first also
sustains, enriches, and developer
and will perfect it. It must not
be overlooked that it was not Hie
bodily presence .on earth that en
sures this result. lit is His spirit
ual presence in the heart that se
cures this result. It is His spirit
ual presence in the heart that se
cures the fullness of Divine Lift*
“to the human soul. Wouldn’t you.
know this “NEW LIFE” with all:
the joy, peace and satisfaction at
tained in Christ?
