Jrtee Spine Exams
Olfered Locally
A Palmer spine specialist said
today that an examination of a
.youngster’s backbone may help
to determine his future occupa
tion.
Dr Norma Godfrey, explained
that more than 60 per cent of
*JUm* nation’s school children have
distortions and that such
students should be encouraged to
work with their brains and not
their backs. She added that many
tnhna) defects can be corrected
without difficulty if discovered
* arly.
On Saturday, September 6, as
gii&rt of a nationwide public ser
vice program, under the sponsor
ed up of the International Chiro
practors Association, students
drum kindergarten through high
jp.rtiOo! are being given spinal ex
.kruinations without charge. Par
> ob may make appointments for
ihoi: children by telephoning
10-3580. Youngsters not yet in
high school must be accompanied
l:?y a parent.
Dr. Godfrey said a shock to
the body from a fall sometimes
pashes the spine out; of line
?; lightly. She added that such a
distortion can interfere with nor-'
wud body function when vital
merves are pinched.
"Poor posture is an other wide
spread cause of spinal misalign
t ent,” she added.
She said the most common de
$«;t found among students in last
year’s spinal check-up program
was a scoliosis, a curvature which
tansed the youngster to have an
•unbalanced posture to the left or

Standard has served Alaska’s railroad industry
since the first trip of old No. 1
Railroad transportation has played an important part in the
development of Alaska. Standard's record of service to this industry dates
back to the first trip of old No. 1, when our products were there, waiting to
help her roll.
Since then, railroads have made great advances and Standard has kept pace.
In fact, our scientists helped bring about the modern era of railroads by
developing the first successful compounded heavy duty lubricating oil for
diesel engines. This helped make possible the powerful diesel locomotives
that move passengers by the thousand and tons of freight by the hundred
thousand in Alaska each year.
Standard's service to Alaska’s railroad industry is typical of the way we also
work with shipping companies, truckers and airlines to help provide the good
transportation Alaska must have to keep growing.
How Standard serves Alaska today...
44 bulk plants
16 independent airport
dealers
42 independent heating oil
distribytors
27 marine stations
206 independent Chevron
