CHEST X-RAY UNIT
SCHEDULED IN AREA
THIS SUMMER
A chest X-ray survey conduct
ed from a mobile laboratory un
it is scheduled to get under way
along Alaska’s highway in early
June when the .truck carrying
the equipment is due to begin
working northward out of Hain
es, according to “Alaska’s Heal
th”, publication of the Alaska
Department of Health.
Although dates have not yet
been announced, it is expected
that the unit will make a stop in
Palmer sometime during the
summer schedule. The Alaska
Tuberculosis Association and the
Alaska Division of the American
Cancer society are cooperating iji
the project with the Alaska De
partment of Health which will
direct the work. The X-ray
equipment and laboratory and
truck and trailer used to house
them, were loaned to the Health
department by the U. S. Public
Health Service which formerly
operated the unit in the States.
J ’Alakan agencies report that
they have received many re
quests for a chest X-ray survey
in the Territory and it is plann
ed that the work will serve a
three-fold purpose, as the films
viil be read for indications of
heart and cancer as well as tu
berculosis conditions.
Many of those inquiring about
the possibility of a chest X-ray
survey have indicated a willing
ness to pay for the service, and
the cooperative plan provides for
payment of one dollar for each
X-ray, though service would be
denied to no one, officials stated.
The fees will go to help defray
costs of the survey which could
not be undertaken without aid of
such funds, according to the ag
encies sponsoring the project.

lic Law 303, 82nd Congress by
extending the deadline for filing
certain prisoner of war claims

1954.
Public Law 303, is an amend

does not create new benefits but
merely enables every eligible
claimant or survivor who failed
to file within the time stipulated 1

rights under law. Prisoners of
war who filed claims prior to
April 9, 1953, need rot refile. Of
