CANCER RESEARCH
AIDS ALASKANS
During the six years of its ex
istence, the Alaska Division o
the American Cancer Society, has
contributed almost $40,000 to na
tional research. Twenty-five j
cents out of every dollar contri- j
buted to the Alaska Division has |
gone for this purpose, Mrs. Stew
art Durrant, local chairman of
the 1955 American Cancer So
ciety campaign, pointed out this
week. The funds were allocated
by the national office along with
similar contributions from the
other 50 divisions, to research
centers allover the country where J
scientists and students seek new |
ways to detect and treat cancer,
and search endlessly for its cause
and cure.
In this same period of time 34
Alaska doctors have attended the
annual refresher courses at the
medical school of the University
of Oregon “brushing up” on new
techniques in diagnosis and
treatment of Cancer in order to,
;l serve the people of Alaska better
in handling this major health
problem. These refresher courses
are made available without cost
to Alaska doctors through a joint
program sponsored by the Terri
torial Health Department and
the Alaska Division of the Am
erican Cancer Society. Helping
doctors help their patients is
thus a fundamental part of the
Cancer program in Alaska.
The Cancer death rate in Al
aska is ascending according to
figures recently released by the
Bureau of Vital Statistics of the j
Territorial Departemnt of Heal
th, which at the same time point
out some interesting variations
from the national pattern.
By age groups, Cancer is a
leading cause of death in Alaska
in age group 25-44. It drops to
| fourth place in age group 45-65,
and rises to second place in age
group above 65, where it is sec
ond only to heart diseases.
These figures do not, of course,
take into consideration the fact
that with doctors concentraed in
the larger population centers,
there are hundreds of communit
ies in which there are no diag
nostic facilities, and doubtless
thousands of people without
means to travel to places where I
doctors are available.
It points up also the younger
population of Alaska as compar
ed with the states. The fact that
many people leave Alaska at re
tirement age — 65 — undoubted
ly has a bearing on this variant,
as is also the fact that many
people who go outside for treat
ment do not recover—and do not
return to Alaska.
The First Division accounted
for more than a third of the to
tal dealths from Cancer, in the
four-year period just ended, and
one-third of this number were
residents of the Juneau area.
Most of these victims were 55
year or older. Eight of them (all
white) died without medical at
tendance of any kind.
In the first 10,000 X-rays clear
ed and read by the Health De
partment, on the X-ray survey
made a year ago in which the
Alaska Division participated with
the Alaska Tuberculosis Associa
tion and the Health Department,
18 cases of lung tumor were dis
covered. These included readings
of X-rays on highway points
starting at Haines and including
Fairbanks. The returns on the
highway points south of Fair
banks and including Anchorage
have not been reported.
Palmer and Anchorage have
chosen July for Crusade month
and mapped out comprehensive
plans for an overall campaign
which will include several forms
of fund raising. Mrs. Durrant
will be assisted by Mrs. Cy Brew
er who will be working as educa
tional chairman. Collection cans
will be distributed throughout
| the business section and public
I gathering points in the city and
! appeal letters will be mailed
throughout the valley sections.

Doyle Porter, just out of the
Air Corps is looking around Sut
ton for his selection of a loca
tion for a dairy farm. Mr. Porter
came up to Alaska with his foLks
who were among the original
settlers in 1935. Originally their
home was in Muskeegon, Michi
gan. He knows Michigan well
and is acquainted with Mrs. Ruby
Strough of Muskeegon, and the
Swansons and Martindales of
East Tawas, Michigan — all
friends of ours. We wish Mr.
Doyle well in his plans for im
porting cattle of good stock to
Alaska.
Buddy and Norina McPherson
attended the Shriner’s Circus in
Anchorage. This was the second
circus they had seen. And Norma,
Bobo, and Linda Bannon also at

their first circus. The outstand

Mary Shaginoff who is confin

of Anchorage had a visitor Sat
urday, her husband Johnny. Mr,
Shaginoff and Ray Grasser—two
voluntters—went to the submerg

ded into the Matanuska River
at Mile 74 Glenn Highway. The
car was pulled out by Grassar’s
cat. Roy Dill with companion,
Jerry Olson were not found in
the car which was demolished.
Olson’s body was found 3 miles
from where car went over.

PUBLIC SAFETY
I_ _m
Three out of five traffic deaths
occui during the hours of dark
ness, and Saturday remains the
most dangerous night of the week.
These and other facts are shown
ir. a study of the most recent U. S.
traffic accident records by the Na
tional Street and Traffic Safety
Lighting Bureau.
Statistics vary state by state*
but the role of darkness is always
clear. Though night traffic totals
only 33 per cent of all traffic, night
accidents claim nearly 59 per cent
of all persons killed and more than
40 per cent of all those injured.
According to the Bureau, chang
ing human nature to correct hu
man failings which cause traffic
accidents is a difficult, long-range
project.
A more direct and immediately
rewarding method of curbing the
traffic toll, as demonstrated by In
dianapolis and a growing list of
other communities, is to give the
people adequate light so they can
make their own way safely.
WHAT ONE CITY DID
ABOUT IT
Indianapolis, Ind. 1954 1953
Night fatalities .. 25 30
Day fatalities ... 24 23
T^le entire fatality reduction of
19o4 over 1953 was accomplished
at night. It is evident, therefore,
that the progressive street light
ing program of the City of Indian
apolis for the past several year$
is beginning to pay dividends.
Night’s toll of 3 out of 5 traffic
deaths, compared to other acci
dent factors studied by the Bu
reau, gives convincing testimony
to the wisdom of fighting traffic
accidents with light.
Few motorists still drive auto
mobiles of 1920 to 1930 vintage.
Yet, most of our street lighting
systems were designed to meet the
needs of this era. Today’s motor -
ists and pedestrians, threatened
by modern-day traffic hazards,
need modern street lighting for
their own protection, studies by
the Bureau show.
