Accidents Chief Cause
Of Alaskan Deaths in
Past Five Year Period
Juneau—Alaskans are safer a1
work than they are “off the job”
and homd is one of the least safe
places for them, according tc
figures disclosed in a study oi
causes of death in the territory
which has been completed by the
Bureau of Vital Statistics in the
Alaska Department of Health.
Accidents took more lives thar
any other cause from 1949 through
1953, the study, shows and were
responsible for 1,188 of the 6,36C
Alaskan deaths during that peri
od. The study was based on statis
tics available for the first time
in Alaska over a consecutive
five-year period.
Fatalities due to accidents ofi
the job accounted for 72 per cen1
of the total accidental deaths foi
the five-year period. Drowning*
were responsible for the highesl
of these casualties, followed by
! motor vehicles, fire, aircraft, falls,
| firearms and poisonings.
Accidents occurring specifically
j in homes numbered 233 or nearly
j one-fifth of the total 1,188 deaths,
j with fire the chief killer and falls,
! poisonings and firearms taking
j the next highest tolls, in that
I order.
Despite the large and important
v,ole travel plays in Alaska, fewer
accidents occurred in air, sea and
land transportation activities than
in non-transportation pursuits
during the 1949 through 1953
period. Accidental deaths report
ed show that 47.4 per cent of the
fatalities occurred in transport
, activities while 52.6 per cent were
in non-transportation pursuits.
Of the total 1,118 accidental
deaths reported, 17.2 percent were
in connection with aircratt acci
dents (including military), 14.8
per cent with water transporta
tion, and 14.4 per cent in motor
vehicle accidents. Railway acci
dents accounted for 1.0 per cent.
Not only are accidents taking
the greatest number of Alaskan
lives, the study shows, but the
highest toll is in the prime of
life period in the ages of 25
through 44. For this age span the
accident death ratio in Alaska
was nearly twice that of the stat
es, or 34.6 per cent of the total
deaths as compared with the 18.8
per cent in the rest of the nation
for the 1949 to 1953 period.
“Accidents can be prevented,”
F. E. Kester, director of the Vital
Statistics bureau emphasized,
“and much of this tragic waste
of life need never have occurred.”

I Notes
By Marylou Rideout
With another Lenten season at
hand, the Extension Service has
for you recipes using fish Often
homemakers, because of limited
experience in preparing fish, find
it difficult to put variety and in
terest into a meal which includes
fishery food. From salt cod to cav
iar, there are fishery products to
fit any budget. No matter the
price, foods from salt or fresh
water source contribute to nutri
tional needs. To build and repair
body tissue, fish and shellfish,
like meat and poultry, contain a
high percentage of top-quality,
easily digested protein. B-com
plex vitamins are present and in
fats of salmon and herring, vita
min D—the sunshine vitamin, is
present. Fish and shellfish are
reliable sources of minerals—iron,
cobalt, phosphorus and iodine.
Fish canned with bones include
an excellent source of calcium.
(Mash cooked bones)
Homemaker, you may get “in
to the swim” by trying a new
canned salmon recipe. Believe
you will like the idea of combin
ing salmon, potatoes and cheese,
three good foods all in one de
licious main dish.
Salmon Casserole Surprise
1 pound can salmon
3 tablespoons butter or other fat
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups liquid (liquid from canned
salmon plus milk to make vol
ume)
1 quart cooked potatoes, sliced
V2 cup mayonnaise or salad dress

trict who were in attendance. At

Troop 754 were Jack Nelson and
Micky Leek.
Speakers in the program em
phasized the Explorer motto and
encampment theme, “Physically
strong, mentally awake, morally
straight”. First call on Saturday
morning came at 5:45, beginning
a busy day of swimming, physi
cal fitness tests, demonstrations,
Order of the Arrow meeting, and
a dance in the evening. Sunday’s
program included church attend
ance, movies, and dinner.
Bill Adams, Explorer Scout
master, accompanied the lc ' d
youths to the encampment but
was unable to attend the events
because of prior commitments.
