Palmer Raceway Plans Shown
t
Plans presently underway
for a drags trip, sport car ;
track and stock car track will ,
assure a raceway that will be ;
sanctioned by all National |
Racing Associations and will
compare with any of the well
known tracks in the United
States, according to mem
bers of the Raceway commit
tee.
The raceway will give spec
tators a maximum of thrill
ing view points, comfort and
safety. Also, it will test the
driving skill of the drivers,
not only for high speed, but 1
<<<<«■*<<«<«■««<*<*
for skill in braking, acceler
ation, high and low speed
cornering and endurance, a
committee spokesman said.
It is estimated that an av
erage of $5 per person at
each race will be spent with
the merchants in the Mata
nuska Valley, as the race
way will be only one mile
south of Palmer and, under
the new road system. 38
miles from Anchorage.
According to estimates at
tendance for a season is esti
mated at 37,500 to 60.000 ad
missions.

TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION COUNTERATTACKS
NATION’S FOURTH LARGEST KILLER BY SEAL SALE
ror the tirst time on an all
out national scale, America’s
leading disabler and fourth lar
gest killer is being challenged
with a comprehensive, highly
organized counterattack.
According to National Health
Survey reports, respiratory di
sease causes more time lost
from work, school and recrea
tion than any other group of
ailments. RD also leads all oth
er disease groups as a cause of
financial loss. Its effects cause
the death of one out of every
ten Americans.
To help turn back this tide
of death and damage, the Al
aska Tuberculosis Association
in common with TB associa
tions throughout the country
has undertaken a broad-scale
I
education and action campaign
to be waged on a continuing
basis.
Tuberculosis, as one of the
most serious of all the respira
tory diseases, continues to re
ceive urgent attention. Public
education on the continuing
menace of this disease, and co
operation with health officials
in fighting it, will be intensi
fied. according to TB associa
tion officials. Other potentially
deadly forms of RD, such as
asthma, emphysema, chronic
bronchitis, and certain fungus
infections of the lungs, are be
ing made the subject of a vig
orous “alert” campaign tc

munity.

war” for this counterattack,
the Alaska TB Association is
adding new vigor to the an
nual Christmas Seal Cam
paign—its only source of funds
for its wide-ranging activities.
The 1963 Christmas Seal
Campaign, headed by Mrs. Wil
liam A. Egan, is under way
with the traditional mailing of
Christmas Seals to every
household in the community.
The success or failure of the
campaign against all Respira
tory Disease, including TB, will
depend on how broad and how
generous is the response.
