Edgecumbe Doctor
Gets Streptomycin
A n allotment o f $35,868
worth of streptomycin has been
made to Dr. Philip Moore, ortho
pedic surgeon at Mt. Edgecumbe.
Dr. Moore will use the drug to
carry on research work in the
use of streptomycin in bone tu
berculosis.
Dr. Moore has recently re
turned from a meeting of the
American Academy of Ortho
pedic Surgery in Chicago, where
he said he was appalled to find
the scarcity of knowledge con
cerning bone tuberculosis.
It is work such as this research
project which Easter Seal sales
help make possible, it was point
ed out by Mrs. O. F. Kvale, act
ing president of the Alaska Crip
pled Children’s Asociation.
Total proceeds from the sale of
Easter Seals, which were mailed
to Valley homes last week, go
to aid crippled children.
SO SORRY
Somewhere in the list of
words and words that built the
story of the Parent-Teacher As
sociation meeting last week, a
tiny three-letter word slipped
away and was never missed.
In reference to the inclusion
of vocational agriculture in the
Palmer school curriculum, the
sentence should have read that
Carl Snelling, school superin
tendent, reported that teachers
for vocational agriculture were
1 not available.
