KIWANIS OBSERVES SIXTH ANHIVERSARY;
PUBLISHER R. B. ATW OOD SPEAKER ,
Robert B. Atwood, renowned
editor-publisher of Alaska’s lar
gest daily, The Anchorage Times,
was keynote speaker at the Pal
mer Kiwanis club Sixth Anniver
sary and Ladies’ Night dinner
held in the local Elks club ban
quet hall last Saturday evening.
The speaker was introduced by
Dr. Allan Mick, Alaska Experi
ment Station assistant director,
who capably MC’ed the program.
Publisher Atwood spoke to ap
proximately 129 persons who
turned out for the occasion.
In his topic, “Alaskans aTe
Bifllders”, Atwood pointed out
the many objectives achieved by
pioneering Alaskans since their
arrival in the territory years ago.
“Alaskans are dreamers, but
they are also practical. They
make their dreams come true!
Look at the Matanuska Valley
settlement, Glen highway, Sew
ard highway, Eklutna hydro
electric project, just to mention
a few.
“All these achievements were
dreams that have become realit
ies through hardy Alaskans’ in
itiative and ingenuity,” explained
Atwood.
In concluding his speech, the
publisher emphasized three sal
ient points which in his opinion
would prove beneficial to future
development of Alaska, especial
ly this area. Primarily, Alaskans
should all agree to welcome new
comers, making their arrival
pleasant and as comfortable as
possible.
Secondly, the welcome mat
should be rolled out to potential
new business enterprizes regard
less of duplication of endeavors;
competition creates alertness and
initiative.
Thirdly, civic organizations—
especially the Chambers of Com
merce—should adhere to the po
licy of not endorsing or protest
ing new enterprizes, but they
should do all within their power
to help them along.
In Atwood’s opinion endorsing
or protesting serves only to tear
memberships apart due to many
diverse opinions.
Others appearing on the enter
tainment program were Cy
Brewer and Lee Plumley who
sang solos accompanied by Mrs.
Brewer at the piano.
Two new members were form
aly initiated into the club—Lew
Hanks with the Extension Ser
vice and Robert Partridge, MTA
manager. The Rev. Einar Bach,
St. John’s Lutheran Church min
ister was transferred into the
club from Grangeville, Idaho,
Kiwanis.
Special guests were Mrs. Rob
ert Atwood, teachers in the local
schools and nurses at Valley
Presbyterian Hospital.
Palmer Elks club members
prepared the dinner.
Pclio Vaccine
To Be Available
To Wider Age Range
Under a proposer Alaska polio
vaccination plan now being con
sidered by the U. S. Public
Health Service, the Alaska De
partment of Health will purchase
all polio vaccine for the terri
tory with special funds made
available by Congress. The an
nouncement was made this week
by Dr. Charles R. Dayman, pre
ventive medical services chief
for the department.
He said that since some vaccine
is already on hand the plan is
now being put into effect in a
few communities, as formal ap
proval from the USPHS is an
ticipated.
The Alaska vaccine plan was
adopted at the September 15
meeting of the Territorial Polio
Advisory committee in Juneau.
Outlining the plan, Dr. Hayman
said that in surban areas the Salk
vaccine may be given only to
children five through nine years
of age, excluding those school
children who have received in
jections through the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly
sis, and to pregnant women. Vac
cine for the first injection will
be supplied to each community,
starting at Ketchikan and work
ing north.
After the territory has been
covered with an initial supply,
each community will be given
material for the second injec
tions. All vaccine will be supplied
without charge by the Alaska
Health department. Those eligi
ble for the vaccine may receive
it either through their local
health center where no charge
will be made for its administra
tion, or through their private
physician who may make a char
ge to cover cost of administra
tion. The Polio Advisory com
mittee recommended that the
service charge should not exceed
$2.5J per injection.
A University of Alaska anthro
poligist this month began a year
long community study of native
life at Point Hope, Alaska. He is
Dr. James W. Van Stone, associ
ate professor. Wendell Oswalt is
carrying out a similar study in
the Lower Kuskoquim.
