Back From Pkiily
Back Thursday from a meeting
in Philadelphia of the National
Fisheries Institute is Lowell iVnke
ieJtd who said he sponsored a -eso
ution favoring declaring king crab
to lie a natural resource of the con
mental sheif as defined in the Ge
neva meet. He ’-vas not sure
vneiher it was completely ip*
iroved as his schedule forced him
o depart before ’he meet was over.
He poumed out that the shrimp
ndustry, particularly that of the
Gulf od Mexico waters, was hesi
ant vbout the resolution as they
eared that Latin American coun
ties might use similar methods in
m attempt to keep them from fitti
ng shrimp. Wakefield said the live
Ming Grabs ent to Philadelphia
made a big bit. with everyone
unaaed at the enormous sue as
ompared with the little Blue
Grabs of the Bast Coast.

A news item which appeared n
the April 26 issue ol the Kodiak
Mirror was zither alarming from
a ommunity health midpoint. It
reported plans »emg made for
iiome delivery of raw rmlk in the
near future.
As is true n most ommumties
in the United States, we have i
city ordinance (No. 235. Sec. 7)
cquiring pasteurization of ail milk
sold in the city. Since this news
item has appeared, however, it
would oe timely to emphasize the
importance of this regulation.
Milk may transmit disease from
oiunais to man. More frequently,
however, it is contaminated by man
m its handling. Pasteurization of
milk lias largely eliminated these
isJqe in most places in the country,
and is the cine! reason why the
public considers milk to be such a
safe aud useful food.
Human infections transmitted by
talk include typhoid and paraty
phoid fevers, scarlet fever, bac
terial sore throats, gastrcenteritis.
food poisoning, bacillary dysen
tery, and diphtheria. Diseases of
cattle transmitted by milk have in
cluded tuberculosis and unduiant
fever. These diseases of cattle have
>een virtually eliminated in our
■ oontry not only by pasteurization
of milk, but also by the slaughter
ing of cattle found to be infected.
Pasteurization. however, is a pos
itive safeguard.
Most instances of milk borne in
fections nowadays occur in smail
rural ommumties or oa farms,
where r aw milk is used. Fortunate
ly such outbreaks are small in size
Decause of: the limited number of
:>eopfe involved.
The possible serious conse
quences of he free iistnbution of
raw milk in a city the size of Ko
diak would certainty warrant our
careful attention. The enforcement
of our pasteurization ordinance
should 'tever be reiaxee.
Sincerely yours.

AVe don't hare to worry about
Governor Bgan's support ,mu posi

and has been for the fishermen
and undoubtedly will again fight
for us on this. He has not tried to
be a dipiom&t or represent the in

mistaken notion that he should try
his hand at being -orae sort of
staaesman lie is Governor of
Alaska and represents Alaskans
and fights for our interests first
and that is as it should be,”
Dyson said.
Unless something is done to
stop this development, it is a sure
bet that the fishermen themselves
will take action to put a stop to it.
This can become a \Fery dangerous
affair and we are no at ail sure that
we vrll be able to prevent the fish
ermen from taking strong meas
ures to drive the foreign fleets out
of our fishing areas nor are
we sure that we would want to stop
