Lew Hanks, Mrs. Lewis Discuss
Family Survival With Homemakers
Homemakers from all parts
of the state discussed family
survival plans as a part of the
1963 Homemakers Short
Course on the University of
Alaska campus recently.
Mrs. Gerry Lewis, civil de
fense chairman for the Alaska
Homemakers Council, and Mr.
Lew Hanks, rural civil defense
specialist for the Cooperative
Extension Service, presented
the subject.
Emphasis was placed on the
following:
FUND IS $800
AWAY FROM GOAL
Although well past the $9,
000 mark, the ambulance fund
is still $800 short of its $10,000
goal, drive chairman William
Hermann reported this week.
He urged those who wish to
contribute or those who wish
to honor the pledges previous
ly made to do so at their earl
iest convenience, so that the
new ambulance may be order
ed and put into service with
out further delay.
The ambulance committee of
the Palmer Fire Association is
now in the process of drawing
up specifications for the new
equipment, Hermann said. As
soon as these are completed,
bids will be asked from vari
ous dealers and manufacturers.
Basic requirements for the Val
ley ambulance will be four-lit
ter patient capacity, and resus
citating equipment capacity for
two patients for at least three
hours.
Important contributions dur
ing the week were received
from Mr. and Mrs. Hal Tye, Mr.
and Mrs. L. P. Rorrison, Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur Miller, Mr.
and Mrs. John Nash, and Mr.
and Mrs. Ernest Strickler. Two
donations were received from
anonymous donors.
1. In the event of atomic
warfare, most people in Alaska
would survive any initial
bombing.
2. Over half of those sur
viving would later die because
of radioactive fallout poison
ing or lack of food and medical
care.
3. Advance planning of the
following would enable most
people to survive who would
otherwise die under post-at
tack conditions.
a. Preparation of plans for
families to get together and
live under fallout conditions.
b. Storage of a month’s
supply of food and water.
c. Increasing the radioac
tive fallout safety factor in
homes by doing things with
in the capacity of every fam
ily.
d. Storing of family medi
cal and first aid supplies and
learning how to use them.
e. Becoming familiar with
the local Civil Defense Or
ganization and working with
it.
Suggestions for family, com
munity, and farm survival
planning are available at each
office of the Cooperative Ex
tension Service throughout the
State.
1050 TAKE ORAL
CANCER EXAMS
During the week of May 1-8,
1050 Alaskans saw their den
tists, who had agreed to give a
free oral examination during
this time. 59 dentists in the
State participated in this pro
gram to detect oral cancer in
its early stages.
Of those examined, 177 peo
ple—almost 1 percent — had
lesions or pathological condi
tions that needed attention.
Treatment or additional evalu
ation was recommended in all
but 34 of these cases.
Dr. Robert W. Smith, Anch
orage dentist who was chair
man of this program, stated
that generally it was a success
ful endeavor and that the den
tists of the State were prepar
ed to see a much larger num
ber of people.
Speaking for the Alaska di
vision of the American Cancer
Society, Dr. William W. White
head, president, said, “We are
grateful to the private and
public health dentists of Alas
ka who gave their time and
knowledge to serve the public
and the Society in this cancer
control program. Through ef
forts like this, it is possible to
find cancerous lesions in the
beginning and treat them pro
perly so another life may be
saved.”

II. S. Senator Glair Engle Honored
At Launching of Hydro-Train Barge
I he wife of u. S. Senator
Clair Engle christened the Pu
get Sound-Alaska Van Lines’
new hydro-train barge which
was launched at Gunderson
Bros. Engineering Corp. yard
in Portland, Oregon, at 11 a m
Friday, July 26. Former Trea
surer of the United States
Elizabeth Rude! Gatov, served
at matron of honor at the
christening of the new vessel
to be named after Clair Engle,
the popular United States sen
ator from California. Mrs. Gat
rov is the wife of Albert W.
Gatrov, former chairman of the
federal maritime board. The
U. S. maritime administration
will be represented at the
launching by Captain Martin
I. Goodman, chief office of ship
operations, Washington, D C.,
and Mr. Lloyd Fleming, Pacific
coast director, San Francisco,
California.
According to John Lee, presi
dent of Puget Sound-Alaska
Van Lines, the vessel will
make it possible for the first
time for merchants to ship
their wares to and from Alaska
in rail cars without unloading
or rehandling at Seattle as has
been the case heretofore. He
said the CLAIR ENGLE mea
sures 304 feet in length, is 68
feet wide, 19 feet deep, and
has a carrying capacity of 30
normal-length railroad cars.
“In naming our new barge
the CLAIR ENGLE”, Lee said,
“we are honoring a dedicated
United States senator who has
led a year-long fight against
foreign-flag intrusion of United
States coastal W'aters.” He re
ferred to Senator Engle’s lead
ership during the congressional
controversy that ended with
the recent defeat of Senate Bill
534 which would have admit
ted a foreign-built ship to Am
erican registry in direct con
tradiction to the principles of
the historic Merchant Marine
Act of 1920 known as the Jones
Act.
The list of celebrities expect
ed to attend the launching of
the CLAIR ENGLE includes
many high-ranking United
States Government officials as
well as dignitaries from the
states of California, Oregon,
Washington and Alaska. The
railroads and press of the en
tire Pacific Coast will also be
well represented.
