CORDOVA COUNCIL
PONDERS PROBLEMS
OF DOGS AND TAXES
Dogs, councilmen and taxes
were the three problems consid
ered and settled at the most re
cent meeting of the Cordova city
council. The dogs were the easi
est problem settled—gather the
roving rovers up pronto, the coun
cilmen instructed the chief of po
lice.
The matter of council resigna
tions was dispatched, when pilot
Lawrence Barr and attorney Wal
ter Hodge were elected to fill the
vacancies left by Pat Flynn and
Emil Pennanen.
Taxes were a weightier prob
lem. Deprived of the revenues of
the territorial property tax, coun
cilmen decided to levy a 20-mill
tax with an eight-mill deficit tax
against the tax roll of 1949.
Greenland Medico Comes
To Alaska to Study
T. B. Among Eskimos
After a quarter of a century of
studying Greenland Eskimos, Dr.
Axel Laurant-Christensen arrived
in Alaska this month to study
Alaskan natives, in particular
with respect to tuberculosis.
At home, the doctor and one
assistant are the staff of a 100
bed hospital. Most of the patients
of that hospital are suffering from
tuberculosis. The physician is
also a travelling medico, spending
about 150 days of each year trav
elling through a coastal area 150
miles long. He serves 4,000 per
sons in approximately 40 locali
ties on these trips. His mode of
transportation is a sailboat, pow
ered with auxiliary motor.
Referring to his 25 years in
Greenland, Dr. Laurent-Christen
sen said he left medical school in
Denmark to spend “a year’s in
teresting experience” on the
world’s largest island. He’s been
a Greenlander ever since.

Valley Fishermen Ignore
Fish Derby Prizes
Not too much interest is being
evidenced, here in the Valley, in

Mr. Reed urges that every size

are weekly prizes offered in each
fish division, as well as grand
prizes to be won for the biggest
IPersingers Are Hosts
To Fairbanks Visitors J
Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Persinger
were hosts to a group of Fair
banks friends on Friday, July 14.
The visitors arrived in two cars,
explaining that they were just
enjoying a weekend outing. Some

and were most complimentary in
fish caught during the contest
period.
The derby will continue until
mid-August, Reed reminded.
