A see • a tier., it vras announced to

of the Association.
"Tuberculosis in Alaska, is a ser -
ious problem," said I.'r. '.atson,
"more of a problem than is general
ly realized. During the ^ear end
ing July 1, 1940, over fifty per
cent of the total deaths from com
municable diseases in the Territory
were caused by trberculosIs. This'
is a terrific toll to pay to a
disease that ^s preventable."
"This will-be the seventh year
that, the r 2orle of Alaska have been
asked to cooperate in the fi'ht
against tuberculosis and J Feel
that, asir the past, they will
a t.in - ladly and gererousl • sup
port the cam/ a . ~n me ape wa '•tn~
avr.ins t this comi y,"
"VJe are rov.d of the work which
hebeen done with the funds
raised by post sales. They have
made possible the taking- of thou
sanla of X-rays of children in
the schools of Al-'ska and of known
contacts of active cases of
tuberculosis. Thru these X-rays
hundreds of cases have beer, dis
covered Lr. the early staves '"hen
a cure could usually be easily ef
fected. t believe that every
resident of Alaska will want'to
help ’ s continue these clinics
and the edUcationn] campaign v/e
have been conducting in con •’’unc
tion with them'.11
