208 POLIO CASES
REPORTED m ALASKA

by the Alaska Department of j
Health only one new case of pol- j
iomyelitis has been reported in j
southeastern Alaska in September j
and occurrences of new cases in j
the hard-hit westward areas of j
Anchorage and Seward have de
creased. However, the depart
ment noted that physicians report
communicable disease cases to the |
department on a weekly basis j
and by mail, thus available data ]
for summary is not of current
data.
A new case reported from
Wrangell this week brought the
total to four for the community.
All have been children. Only
other case reported in southeast
ern Alaska this year was at Pet
ersburg. This and the first three
cases in Wrangell occurred in
late August.

partment from January 1 through
September 10, 1954.

in the Anchorage area as of Sep
tember 10 was 99, while 50 cases
were reported from Seward
through that date. Reported from
other areas for the same period
were: St. Paul island, 17 cases:
Nome, 14; Palmer, 7; Fairbanks
and Andreafski, 5 each. Or.e case
only was reported from each of
the following communities: Nap
akiak; Bethel; Aniak; Kwiguk;
Sand Point; Kenai; and Homer.
Prior to July, when the up
swing in incidence of the disease
began, 63 cases had been report
ed in the territory. These includ
ed the outbreaks of 17 cases at

ary and were the first polio cases

Throughout the summer pres- j
sure canners were brought into
the Extension office for a check- j
up on accuracy of guage. A year
ly check-up is necessary for safe
ty and a satisfactory home canned
food. Now you are about ready
to pay another respect to your
earner—putting it away proper
ly. Wash canner thoroughly be
fore storing it. Scrub edges of
both kettle and cover, using whit
ing and water if scouring is need
ed. Don’t use strong soap on al
uminum or heavy-duty scouring
powder on any type of canner.
The rubber gasket must be clean ;
and grease free. Petcock, safety j
valve and pressure guage must
be stored clean. Opening may be
cleaned by drawing a string |
narrow strip of cloth or pipe j
cleaner through them.
If the safety valve is a ball—
and—socket type, it should be
cleaned after each use. Silver pol
ish is good to use.
Be sure canner and all parts are
dried thoroughy before storing.
Smear threads of screw locks or
thumb nuts with a thin film of
peroleum jelly or any salt free
cooking oil to prevent rust. Place
crumpled newspaper inside the
kettle to absorb moisture, and
wrap the lid in paper. Put the lid
on upside down so the air can
get into the kettle and keep it
sweet-smelling throughout the
storage period.
A good workman respects his
tools, a careful home canner de
votes a little extra time and el
bow grease in putting away her
pressure canner.

WHEN
AND
WHERE
YOU WANT IT
Willie Wirehand Says:
Electric power is the cheapest hired man you ever
had and it is always there at anytime you want it.
You don't pay "overtime" for electric power and it
has no day off. Electric power makes possible many
labor-saving devices which make your work better,
quicker and easier. Use more electric power ... it s
cheap.
