White Plague Is
Most Serious
Health Issue
James Wickersham, former del
egate from Alaska to Congress,
is heading the annual Chrsitmas
Seal sale, returns from which are
used to combat tuberculosis in
the Territory of Alaska.
The following letter is from
him to the people of Nome:
"We thank the public for their
generous response to the Christ
mas Seal Sale in past years, and
again urge support in this most
serious health problem in Alas
ka—namely, tuberculosis.
Program Outlined
“A far-reaching program for the
contraband prevention of utber
culosis in the Territoy has been
inauguated. Todate this has in
cluded the examination and X-ray
of the lungs of over 2,000 per
sons by a tuberculosis specialist.
Five thousand children have been
given the tuberculin test. In the
continuance of this work, all parts
of the Territory will be covered.
“A portable Xray machine and
all necessary equipment for work
in outlying districts has been pur
chased; also assistance given in
equipping a laboratory, which of
fers free service to all physicians
<*iroughout the Territory to assist
them in diagnosing tuberculosis.
Prevention is Important
“Our aim is to carry on the
work of prevention and early
diagnosis of tuberculosis in con
junction with an intensive edu
cational campaign against the dis
ease; working always toward the
establishment of sanitoriums for
tuberculosis patients in the Terri
tory.
"It is only through contributions
by purhase of the Christmas Seals
which sell for one dollar a sheet
or one cent each, that this pro
gram can be effectively carried
out. No money derived from the
sale of Christmas Seals will be
used other than to further the
work of early diagnosis, preven
tion and education in tuberculo
sis.
“The committee carrying on
this work is entirely a volunteer
; organization and their only inter
est is that each and every one
may enjoy the heritage of health
and happiness to which we are
all justly entitled."
MAN AT WORK on a
new position is Joseph R. Shee
han (above), recently appointed
executive directoi of the United
States Maritime commission.
