of express trainship service," was made

committee of the Alaska State Chamber.
He was joined by Robert A. Baker of
Anchorage, second from left, and John D.
Cartano, riqht presidents of the Alaska
State and Seattle Chambers, respectively.
The occasion was Seattle's Annual Alaska
Day Luncheon at which Skinner was the
featured speaker.
Rabies Flare-Up Prompts
Action b y Health Officials
A flare-up of rabies in north
ern and western Alaska this
winter has resulted in the
death of many dogs and in
creased activity in anti-rabies
vaccinations. The Fort Yukon
Senior Dog Mushers complied
with the request of the local
sanitation aide to stop racing
their dogs during a period
when red foxes were known to
have bitten dogs, according to
Warren Griffin, director of the
sanitation aide program for the
Division of Public Health.
Several sick dogs died or
were shot and red foxes at
tacking them were killed, ac
cording to the Fort Yukon,
stanitation aide’s report. Other
areas reporting cases of rabies
in dogs and foxes since Janu
ary are Buckland, Candle, Kot
zebue, Nome, Selawik, Kival
ina. Shungnak and Teller. The
state Division of Agriculture
cooperates in the anti-rabies
campaign by furnishing vac
cine for a nominal charge. Al
aska Command personnel as
sited in giving vaccinations to
the dogs and the state Division
of Fish and Game as well as
federal Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice are working on elimina
tion of foxes and wolves within ;
10 miles of the communities.
Several dog and fox heads
which were sent to state Health
and Welfare department or
federal Arctic Health Research
Center laboratories from the
above areas, have proven posi
tive for rabies and some six
others are still suspect.
Rabies Always Fatal
Science has found no cure
for rabies, according to Grif
fin, so that prevention is the
only means of attack at pres
ent. If contracted by either
man or animal, the disease is
•i********-x-***********4e-4f
always fatal and its victims die
in agony. For a human bitten
by a rabid animal there is only
the long and painful series of
injections of the “Pasteur treat
ment” in the effort to keep the
disease from developing in
case it has been transmitted.
For an animal the only protec
tion against the disease is vac
cination before exposure to it
from a rabid animal.
Rabies is known as “ende
mic” or ever present in Alaska’s
wildlife, Griffin said. Pet dogs
and cats can be vaccinated suc
cessfully against rabies and
thus protected from the disease
which is transmitted in the sal
iva of a rabid animal.
The infection travels to the
brain and it is necessary that
laboratories have an undamag
ed head of an animal in order
to determine whether or not
rabies is present. That is the
reason, he said, that an animal
suspected of rabies should not
be shot or clubbed in the head
Pasteur treatments of a hum
an bitten by an animal are de
layed, if possible, he explain
ed, until laboratory tests con
firm that the animal was rabid
