In Matanuska
INDIAN AFFAIRS SUPERINTEND
ENT IS CALLED TO WASHING
TON FOR CONFERENCE
N. Lester Troast, superintendent in
the Office of Indian Affairs has been
»
called to Washington, D. C for
conferences with Federal Emergen
cy Relief Administration officials in
connection with colonization of the
Matanuska valley this summer.
It is assumed here that Mr. Troast
will have charge of locating some
100 or more families in the Matan
uska in line with the program
•which has been outlined by the
national administration. Study of
project has been going on for some
time and Alaska Delegate Anthony
J. Dimond in a recent communica
tion indicated that the plan would
be carried out with a certain por
tion of the relief money appropriat
ed by this Congress being earmark
ed for the undertaking
Mr Troast recently was detailed
to the Wrangell Institute during the
absense of Director Charles W. Mil
ler in Portland due to the illness
I
of Mrs Miller. Last fall he was at
Nome in connection with the re
building there after the fire and re
cently completed a reindeer sur
vey in the territory. His thorough
knowledge of Alaska affairs, it is
believed led to his selection to han
, die the important Matanuska colon
i ization program. His present de
!tail is for six months with the
FERA.

“IT IS DISEASE OF LATER LIFE"
IIE SAYS IN EXPLANATION
OF DENIAL
NEW YORK, Feb. — New York
city health department statistics
show “that in any particular age
group, cancer deaths are no more
prevalent than they were at the be
ginning of the century," Health
Commissoner Rice said.
The actual number of oancer
deaths has increased, he said, be
cause there is a "much larger pro
portion of older persons in the pop
ulation than there was a genera
tion ago." and cancer is “usually a
disease of later life."
“While, of course," said Dr. Rice,
“it is well for the public to be on
guard against cancer, the education
al activities carried on by ninny
cancer societies has led to the im
pression that the chances of con
tracting cancer are much greater
than they were a generation ago,”
Dr Rice held that “quacks and
faddists have twisted the cancer
statistcis to their purpose.”
"Meantime, in labratories, clinics
and hospitals throughout the world
eminent scientists are engaged in
studying all phases of cancer—its
nature and origin, the factors which
influence its development, its early
recognition, its treatment, the role,
if any, of diet, the influence of race,
sex or occupation. These workers
are busy constantly interchanging
every hit of new information, and
one builds on the foundation of
others.”
