Meeting Health
Council to Be
Wed. May Fifth
When Dr. Carswell, Special
Deputy Territorial Health Com
missioner, was in Nome recently,
he administered the tuberculin
test to all school children and X
rayed all positive cases. The
Sunday afternoon before he left
he spoke to a small informal
group on general health matters,
stressing more especially the need
in Nome for a Health Council.
Dr. Morcom followed this up
by assisting in the selection of a
committee which was to estab-'
lish such a council. Under Dr.
Morcom’s guidance this commit-.
tee met and formulated plains for i
organization.
This organization has for its
purpose the dissemination and
correlation of a community health
program. The Council is to be
made up of a representative from
each organization or group in the
community that is interested in
any way in a health program,
either for its own members or
for the community in general.
The representatives appointed
or elected will meet at the Ter
ritorial School tomorrow, Wed
nesday, at 7:30 P. M.
This community health counc i
is patterned after similar health
councils in the States. Anything
and everythng that pertains to
community health and betterment
is material to be considered by
such a council. The Council
works entirely through its mem
bers, merely formulating plans
which are carried back to each
organization through its Council
representative.

Winter Mail Plane
Service to End
This Week
The regular semi-weekly win
ter mail service between Nome
and Fairbanks which has been
operated by Pacific Alaska Air
ways during the past three years
will terminate this week. This
j service calls for a total of fifty
' two round trips with stops from
Nome as follows: Golovin, Nula
! to, Ruby, Kokrines, Tanana, Man
ley Hot Springs, Tolavana and
Fairbanks, and to leave each ter
minal with a maximum of 1000
pounds of mail matter.
At the present time fifty of
these trips have been completed
leaving a balance of two trips
yet to make, the last of which
will probably be run May 5th or
6th. From that date on no sec
ond class mail matter will be
carried by plane. First class mail
will continue to be carried by
plane after May 6th, but not un
i der contract.
The last regular mail trip will
see the end of three years of a
four year contract under which
Pacific Alaska Airways has given
this section a continuous semi
weekly scheduled service be
tween November first when the
mail service begins, and approx
imately the middle of May when
the contract expires.
During the time in which this
! contract is not in force Pacific
Alaska Airways will operate a
weekly "Electra” passenger ser
vice between Nome and Fair
■ banks. This service will be in
! force as soon as landing condi
tions will permit the use of
wheel landing gear, and until
j such time a skr equipped plane
| wild be used in this work. The
Nome to Fairbanks schedule will
j connect with one trip of a semi
| weekly "Electra” service which
j PAA operates between Fairbanks
land Juneau via Whitehorse. Y.T..
which in turn contacts southbound
steamships from Juneau thus put
ting Seattle within six days tra
veling time from Nome.

flight, which required 13 hours 50 1
minutes, demonstrated that fuel 1
costs could be cut in half by the j
