Brim-Probst
Wedding Held
Miss Sophia Brim of Seattle
and Mr. L. M. (Pop) Probst were
married Sunday, April 22, at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Hay
ward on Mill Bay Road.
A reception for the couple was
held at the Civil Service Club,
Naval Station, following the
ceremony.
The groom is a long-time resi
dent of Kodiak and is employed
at the Power Plant, Naval Station.
An Educational adviser at the
Naval Air Station in Millington,
Tennessee is having trouble with
his dog. John Howard says his
dog eats socks from the clothes
line. Howard says the problem
is complicated by the fact that
the dog eats only one sock of each
pair.
Greed is humanity’s greatest
fault—some people think they can
eat their cake and have yours, too.

Cancer Exhibit Is
World Fair Feature
i
An exhibit, “Man Against Can
, cer,’’ first viewed in Washington
| D.C., will be on exhibit at the Se
, attle World’s Fair,
s For the first time an effort ha;
been made to round up under one
roof, for the public, the import
ant highlights of the fight againsl
cancer and what the individual
, should know for his protection
against the disease.
The exhibits range from a mas
sive electron microscope to a small
vial teeming with sub-microscopic
cancer causing viruses.
Other elements of the exhibit
are a model of polyoma virus, a
heart-lung machine adapted for
isolation perfusion chemotherapy
in the treatment of cancer, a large
and involved glass chemical syn
thesis apparatus, a chunk of tree
showing the growth of cancer, live
laboratory mice in a germ-free
chamber, apparatus for the actual
cultivation of cancer cells in a
test tube, a smoking machine for
the collection of tar for research,
an operating model of a rotating
cobalt therapy machine and of the
equipment used in radioactive iso
tope treatment of thyroid cancer.
A transparent man, used in test
ing X-ray voltages and their imm
pact on tissue, is displayed, as well
as a six-foot model of a cell.
In the area devoted to show
ing the public the significance of
early diagnosis are a series off
“teehnimations” demonstrating
the way cancer metastasizes, or
spreads. Here, too, is a “litronics”
panel in which viewers, by press
ing buttons, can see which cancer
sites of the body are accessible
i to the physician and what per
centage of the disease occurs
there.
In an area devoted to the United
States Public Health Service
study of Hagerstown and Washing
ton County, Maryland, there is a
composite relief map, a soil map,
a demmonstration of the checks
being made on radioactivity in
water and rocks.
A new approach to teaching
cancer’s seven danger signals is
developed through wire figures of
a mole, a camel, an elephant, a
goat, a poodle, a squid, and a frog,
and a child named Alice.
Thus, the Cancer Society’s dan
ger signal number 2 is “a lump
or thickening in the breast or else
where”—in the exhibit a wire
camel and a wire Alice are beside
a text reading, “On the camel’s
hump there was a new lump. He
had hump trouble. ‘A snort, a
wheeze, a whistle or a sneeze more
or less wouldn’t matter, I guess,”
said the camel. ‘But a lump upon
my hump now—hurrumph. I
wonder?’ ” Each animal has a
different danger signal, each is
taken by Alice to a physician for
a checkup.
Unemployment Up
Alaska insured unemployment
rate for the week ended April 14
was 18.5.
The rate is above the 17.4 reg
istered for the previous week, but
under the 18.9 for the same week

New unemployment totaled 533,
down from last week’s 686 total.

Pink Salmon Fry
Count Undertaken
Bob Koys, Commercial Fisher
ies Division in Kodiak, with a
crew of four men, recently com
pleted an unprecedented pink
salmon fry sampling project in 7
Rivers and Humpy Creek, Aliulik
Peninsula.
It is known that the total num
ber of pink salmon fry can be es
timated in any stream by digging
at predetermined points in the
gravel of salmon spawing riffles.
Although several short streams
have been sampled this spring,
sampling in streams the size of
7 Rivers and Humpy Creek has
never before been attempted in
the state.
Roys, with Gordon Romriell,
George McCorkle, Jim Ard and
Bill Ozbekoff, was landed at the
mouth of 7 Rivers on April 17.
The crew worked their way up 7
Rivers, over the ridge, into the
headwaters of Humpy Creek and
from there to Humpy Cove. Dis
tance traveled (including about 5
miles from Humpy Cove to Rus
sian Harbor where crew was
picked up April 23) was about dO
miles.
Since crew had to be mobile,
food for three days was taken
along and additional food was
supplied by air drops.
An estimate of numbers of
pre-emergent fry in several pink
salmon streams is being under
taken as a joint project between
Commercial Fisheries and Re
search Divisions. Objective is to
try and relate numbers of fry
with return of pink salmon some
15 months later. If such a re
lationship exists, a basis for fore
cast of returning runs can be es
tablished.
Notice
Sunday between 3 and 6, St.
Mary’s is serving dinner at the
Elk’s Club. Bring the whole fam
ily.
Plan every move—keep your
thinking a day ahead of your work.
