Sanitarian Warns Swimmers
Swimmers in local lakes may be exposing themselves to
Weils disease.
The opinion was expressed in a memorandum to Miss
Virginia McMullen by Lloyd A. Morley, sanitation consultant
to the Alaska Department of Health.
Miss McMullen asked the ADH the question after re
viving numerous queries on the subject from Kodiak resi
dents.
“In Amsterdam. . . a considerable number of cases
(Weils disease) have been attributed to submersion by acci
dent. . .as well as to bathing in the water of canals which are
polluted by human and animal refuse and whose banks are
infested by rats,” Morley wrote Miss McMullen.' He added he
was quoting from the latest edition of Rosenau-Preventive
Medicine and Hygiene, 1851.
Morel.v also stated in the memorandum that while
Jeptospira (Weils disease) die quickly when exposed to sun
light they will live for a period longer than three weeks in
stagnant water which is neutral or slightly alkaline.
Many youngsters swim in Big Lake during the summer
here. There are numerous houses and dwellings bordering the
lake. Beavers and many other wild animais are known car
riers of the disease as well as rats.

FROM THE PRESS BOX
by
Lefty Craft, JOC USN
I The next world’s champion
ship fight will be in the Yan
kee Stadium, New York,
Monday night, when two
champions, Joey Maxim,
light-heavyweight king and
Sugar Ray Robinson, ruler of
the middle-weights, climb in
to the ring. However, only
one title will be at stake, the
light-heavyweight crown.
| The Maxim-Robinson bout
will be unusual in many ways.
The challenger seldom is in a
position to dictate much
about terms to a champion.
There have been fights in
which the challenger fought
for nothing except a shot at
the title. Robinson is no
ordinary challenger, if he can
be called the challenger in
this bout. Sugar Ray is one of
the biggest drawing cards in
the fistic business. Maxim ha?
been no ring attraction. He
never has had a big pay day
in his ring career. The fight j
with Robinson means big /
money. Maxim was much)
more eager for the match I
j than Robinson. >
When they signed, it was
announced each would get 30!
per cent of the expected large,
gate; however, rumor has it i
Robinson will get the long ‘
end, probably 40 per cent.
Maxim won the title he
now holds January 24, 1950,
when he knocked out Freddie
Mills of London in the round
in London.
There will be a big differ
ence in weight in this bout.
Maxim is a full-fledged light-1
heavyweight, 175 pounds, i
Sugar Ray actualiy is only an
overgrown welterweight; he’s
not much more than 160
pounds. Joey is a fine boxer,
but not a crowd-pleaser. He'
has no power in his punch.
Robinson is a great boxer, i
posses exceptional speed of,
hand, foot and brain. He hits'
with either hand. This will be
his first test against a much i
bigger man.
Only two fighters in ring;
history have won three fistic i
championships Henry Arm
strong and Bob Fitzsimmons. ■
A burning desire to be the i
third with a triple is believed
to have caused Robinson to
take the Maxim match.

A woman's intuition
tells her this
Women intuitively lean on life insurance. More than
30% of our new policyholders last year were women.
More and more single and married women are facing
the future with new confidence, because they now have
their own life insurance program designed to fit their
need.
