HOSPITAL FAC.LITIES
EXPANSION TO BE
DISCUSSED AT HEARING
A public hearing on a revision
of the Alaska territorial plan for
expanding of hospital facilities is
set for August 6 at 10 a.m. in the
[ Alaska Office Building in Juneau,
I it was announced by Dr. C.
Earl Albrecht, commissioner of
health.
The revised plan outlines esti
mated needs for five types of
hospital facilities in Alaska.
These include general, tubercul
osis, mental and chronic disease
hospitals and public health cen
ters.
The hospital facilities plan was
approved by the acting surgeon
general of the U- S. Public Health
in 1947 and is revised annually
to remain current with Alaska’s
growth and changing conditions.
Through it $200,000 in federal
funds, provided by Public Law
725 and known as the Hill-Bur
ton act, are available annually
for assistance of Alaskan com
munities or other responsible or
ganizations desiring to construct
hospital facilities. Construction,
such facilities must comply with
operation and maintenance of
minimum standards in order to
be eligible for these funds, Dr.
Albrecht pointed out. The pro
gram is administered through the
Alaska Department of Health
with aid of the Advisory Coun- j
cil. I

Potato Disease Identification
All potato growers are invited
to be at the Matanuska Experi
ment Farm, Friday, August 6, at
7:00 P.M. Mr. C. E. Logdson,
plant pathologist, will discuss and
identify plant specimens of potato
diseases taken from local fields.
Any grower may bring diseased
plants for identification. These
specimens should be collected just
prior to coming to this meeting.
Learning to identify potato
diseases in the field is of great
importance to every grower in
the Valley. A great saving can
be made in storage losses by iden
tifying diseased plants and remov
ing them from the field during the
season. Fewer diseased tubers in
storage means less culling loss.
Be at the Experiment Station,
Friday, August 6.

PLANNED FOR AUG. 6

UNIVERSITY ATHLETES
ARE GOOD STUDENTS
At many universities athletes
have gotten the reputation of be
ing poor students who take the
easy courses and barely pass
| those.
Dea2i Neil W. Hosley of the
University of Alaska today said
this situation does not hold true
on the “Farthest-North Campus”.
"The 39 men on athletic teams
have r.ot only equalled, but bet
tered the grades of those not tak
: ing part in athletics during the
past semester,” Dr. Hosley said.
; “None of the three teams had an
academic average of less than
I ‘C’ and the average for the men
on all teams was 1.52 grade
points (C equals 1 and B equals
2) while that of the non-athletes
was 1.25.”
