What Iodine-131 Means to Area —
(Continued from page 1)
Radionuclide tolerances have now been pretty-well de
fined, considering the difficulty of soliciting live human vol
unteers. Based on the reaction of a few human samples sup
ported by the responses of vast numbers of mice, guinea pigs,
monkeys and other docile substitutes for the human race, the
Federal Radiation Council is now able to lay down a few
guides. The following daily intakes, averaged over a year,
are considered an acceptable health risk for large general
population groups for a lifetime, compatible with the orderly
development of nuclear industry of the United States.
Strontium 90_200 mmc per day, or 73,000 mmc
in a year
Strontium 89_2,000 mmc per day, or 730,000
mmc in a year
Iodine 131 _100 mmc per day or 36,500 mmc
per year for infants or very
young children. For adults 1,000
mmc per day or 365,000 mmc in
a year
About all that would have happened to an adult An
choragite drinking a quart of milk a day during calendar
1962 is that he would have consumed about a tenth of what
is considered an acceptible health risk intake of 1-131. Side
effects arising from displacement of a more socially accepted
diet of coffee and hard drinks might have created some busi
ness for a local phychiatrist or the new Psychiatric Institute
The safety tolerance for young children might lurk in his
mind. This danger he could easily avoid by shifting the pre
school members of his family to fresh milk substitutes. In
the event this loving father could not bear their breakfas*
rejection of powdered milk, he might simply adopt the prac
tice of holding local fresh milk in his refrigerator for a few
days. Within a week nearly half of whatever radioactive iodine
he carried home from the store would have disappeared.

noon while trying climb a little

essary to treat her arm was not
on supply there, and Mr. Glas

about 20 adults and students
above the fifth grade have join
ed with eight or nine who can(l
play an instrument now. Those
who are able to play now or
those who have been learning
for more than a year will meet
at Rose Palmquist’s home on
Feb. 6 at 4 p.m. with their in
struments. Since the local Com
munity Club is sponsoring the
band, it is trying to obtain band
pieces at a reduced price if it
can, the pieces can be rented
at a nominal price. So, even
though you do not have an in
strument, you can still join the
band. Everyone is welcome to
join, although originally it was
primarily for the community.
The beginners will have to wait
until instruments — and per
haps music — are secured for
their first meeting. We hope
this will be soon.

Palmer to Assume
(Continued from page 1)
out when councilman Hermann
voiced the fear that city funds
may have to be channeled into
the airport. “I feel the airport
would be better off in state
hands, where agencies are al
ready set up for its administra
tion,” he said.
Winston Gilchrist, city man
ager, brought up the question
of liability which the city
would assume as property own
er. Attorney Biss recommended
that the airmen insure the air
port w i t h a “hold harmless”
clause for the city, or that the
city should extend its present
liability policy to cover the
airport. It was suggested that
if the city extends its policy to
cover the airport, the cost
should be taken out of the gas
tax refund before the money
is turned over to the airmen.
Dixon suggested a policy ac
ceptable for everyday airport
use, with special policies to
cover special events such as air
shows.
The aviation officials sug
gested adoption of the resolu
tion to assume ownership of
the airport, saying that a week
or ten days would be necessary
to clear the assumption agree
ment in Juneau.
Reminded of the state’s
promise to turn over the 1964
budget allowance of $1,500 to
the city, Clarke said this would
be included in the assumption
agreement.
Other business conducted at
the Tuesday meeting included
a report from manager Gil
christ on the progress of the
engineering contract for the
sewers. Gilchrist said he had
in his hands sections 3 through
16 of the report, and would
have the balance by next Mon
day , as well as a map as yet
uncompleted and a covering
letter signed by a registered
engineer. It was agreed that if
contract requirements are not
completed by next Monday, a
special meeting will be called
for Monday evening.
