CHRISTMAS SEALS !
ON SALE FOR TB
FUND CAMPAIGN
Kiwanis Sponsors Sale in
Business Area - Drive
Begins Wednesday
The 17th annual sale of Christ
' mas seals starts in Juneau Wed
j nesday, November 1, Mrs. Frances
i L. Paul, Executive Secretary of the
Alaska Tuberculosis Association, an
I nounced today.
The Kiwanis Cluh, the sponsor
| of the sale in the business houses
of Juneau, will begin personal
solicitation on that date. After the
canvass of the business section, the
Christmas seals will be mailed to
individual contributors. The seals
are made available to residents of
Alaska at an earlier date than the
beginning of the sale in the states
because of the greater distances
Alaska mail must travel.
Tuberculosis was the “captain of
the men of death" at the beginning
of the 20th century. With a death
rate of 194 per 100,000 population,
it was the first cause of death in
this country. In 1949, at the mid
term of the same century, the rate
had dropped to 26.1 per 100,000.
The primary cause of this enor
mous irrvprovement was the organi
zation in 1904 of the National Tub
erculosis Association which mobil
ized the medical profession and
the public in a nation-wide offen
sive against this communicable dis
ease. This mobilziation was financ
ed by the sale of Christmas seals.
Alaska stands today just about
where the nation stood 50 years
ago in relation to the tuberculosis
problem. A death rate of 176.9 per
100.000 population for 1949 has just
been released by the Department of
Health. The incidence of the dis
ease remains about 10 times that
of the average in the states and
constitutes Alaska’s primary health
problem.
Chrsitmas seals have now become
established as a tradition in Al
aska as well as in the states. The
bright little stamp with its double
barred cross, the registered trade
mark of the National Tuberculosis
Association, will soon make its ap
pearance on the backs of our Ifet
ters and packages for the 17th sea
son. The question may well be ask
ed: What does the Alaska Tubercu
losis Association do witn tne
checks and dollar bills contributed
Ih return for these gaudy bits
of colored paper?
A total of $24,567.99 was spent in
Alaska last year by the central of
fice and $3,821.50 by the local com
mittees in 18 towns. Most of the
expenditures made by the local
groups were for case-finding and
assistance to the public health
nursing programs in their local
areas where official funds could
not be obtained. As far as pos
sible the expenditures of the cen
tral office went to an over-all
program which would give help to
the greatest possible number of
patients.
A survey of the annual report
of the Alaska association shows
that 62 percent of their expendi
for 1949 went to the institutions
for the care of the Alaskan tuber
culous. The exact figures were $13,
337.50. This money supplied mater
ials and services which were not
obtainable from any official sourte
and were mainly in the field of
occupational therapy; film rentals,
magazines and books, public address
systems, salaries of occupational
therapists and medical-social work
ers and occupational therapy sup
plies.
Many patients in the tuberculous
wards and hospitals are completely
destitute and the Association keeps
on deposit with each hospital a
sum to be used for the comfort
of such patients. The contribution
of around $3,000 made it possible
for the Alaska Native Service to
carry a thoracic surgeon on the
staff of Mt. Edgecumbe.
Most difficult to define in tang
lble results, but probably most im
portant of all in the long run, is
the year-around program of health
education carried on by the associa
tion's officers and committees. The
only source of income for the Al
aska Tuberculosis Association is the
sale of Christmas seals which oc
curs only once a year, and will
be carried on during the months
of November and December.
PERSECUTION AHEAD
WARNS VORIES OF
BIBLE PROPHECIES
After reading his text, rtev. 13:11
17, Evangelist Voiles declared Sun
day night to those assembled in the
Prophetic Light auditorium, “This
is one of the greatest warnings for
I the people of Amercia ever sounded
| in the ears of man. We are now
facing some of the most tragic den
gers of the people of America have
faced since the founding of our
government. According to the pre
ceding verses the two-horned beast
represents a nation coming on the
stage of action in 1798. When we
think of a government just coming
up in that year, our attention is
immediately directed to our own
nation.
“From that small beginning It
has grown into the mighty nation
it now is—a challenge to the world,
foremost in industrial pursuits, ag.
riculture production, cattle raising,
mining, education, and everything
that pertains to a civilized people.
“After contemplaitng all the good
qualities of our government, it is
With sadness that we read the
prophecy, ‘He spake as a dragon.
A nation speaks through its laws.
It is abundantly evident that the
dragon is symbolic of the old Ho
man empire.”
From the foregoing, the speaker
forcefully concluded, “if our govern
ment speaks through it laws as the
Roman empire spoke, religious per
secution is ahead.”
He appealed to his listeners to be
true Americans and stand firm for
the great principles of civil and
I religious liberty, the principles for
I which our forefathers fought, bled
! and died.
The lecture topic tonight at 7:30
; is "The Thief on the Cross.” All
are invited.

"H" BOMB Might
NOT WORK SAYS
DEAN, AEC CHIEF
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 — Wl — j
Chairman Gordon Dean of the I
Atomic Energy Commission says
he United States has not yet de
ermined whether the hydrogen
bomb can be made to work.
“We haven’t completed our tie
termination as to the feasibility,” of
the projected super-bomb, Dean said
in an interview with the magazine
US. News and World Report made
i public last night.
Dean, who took over as chairman j
I of the AEC last July, also reported ,
hat the nation’s stockpile of atomic
bombs may be useful even if they
never are exploded.
Their fissionable material can be
converted to supply power ‘ much
nore valuable than the gold at Fort
Knox," he said. The' U.S. gold re;- j
;erves stored at Fort Knox are esti
mated to be worth more than
$23,000,000,000.
Dean also reported that this coun
try is still ‘‘well ahead” of Russia
in the development of the atomic
bomb, but he said it would be
“foolish to minimize the Russian
achievement.”
WILL CLAYJOLS,
William Clayson, 82, pioneer mer
chant of Alaska from Gold Rush
Gays to date, a member of Alien
age City Council for 40 years and
one time mayor, died recently at
his home, 315 N. E. Laurelhurst
Place, Portland, Oregon, after a
lingering illness. Funeral services
were later held at the Little Chapel
of Chimes, burial was at Riverview
Cemetery. Nellie Taylor Kloh,
leader of Unity Church of Truth,
officiated.
Mr. Clayson was a brother of
Dr. Esther Pohl Lovejoy, world
renowned Portland physician who
is now a resident of New York.
I He was born at Port Gamble,
| Wash., June 24, 1868, and while a
! small child moved to Seabeck,
I Wash. When he was 15 the family
moved to Portland where he at
tended school. He went to Pacific
; University at Forest Grove and one
year at medical school when the
Gold Rush of 1897 caused the
stampede north.
His brother Fred went north on
the first trip of the steamer Elder
and William followed on the third
trip with a huge cargo of mer
chandise including all the shoes
that could be bought in Portland.
They opened a store in Skagway,
and later openbd stores in Seward,
Cordova, and Anchorage when they,
too, were mining camps.
Christmas Day. 1899, the brother
Fred and two companions were
mubdered on the tiail and their
bodies thrown into the Yukon.
They were recovered many miles
downstream when the ice melted
some time later. This was re
ported the most sensational murder
in the Far North during the Gold
Rush Days. One of the slayers
was convicted and hanged.
William Clayson was too ill to
attend the Sourdough Convention1
of August 17-20 this year. He was]
reported to be one of the few liv- '
ing who had seen the shooting of j
Soapy Smith in 1898 by Frank
Reed of Portland, a vigilante.
(Clayson was a vigilante, also.)
He was owner of one of the first
airplane services in Alaska. He
returned to Portland in 1929 to
live but went back to Alaska every ]
year until 1942 to examine stores |
and properties at Anchorage and |
Cordova. In 1942 he became too ill
to make the trip and Mrs. Clayson
continued the practice.
He was a member of the Masonic
Lodge at Cordova, the Shrine at
Anchorage, the Arctic Brotherhood
of Skagway, Pioneers of Anchor
age, Alaska-Yukon Society of Ore
gon. The Alaska Society attended
the funeral in a body.
Survivors include the widow, Mrs.
Mable Clayson; two sons, James
Edward and William T.; three sis
ters, Mrs. Will Blanchard of Port
land, Dr. Esther Pohl Lovejoy of.
New York, and Mrs. Charlotte
Snook of Salmon River, Idaho.
Clayson's two story building in
Skagway, one of the finest at that
time in Alaska, was destroyed by
fire in 1927 and Mrs. Maycomber,
whose husband owned the building
at that time, was burned to death.

How water turns trees
to stone...
Petrified forests are the result of trees being submerged for
centuries in water. Flowing into the pores of the wood, water
deposits minerals which, in time, solidify. Eventually the wood
fiber disintegrates, leaving only a “tree of stone.
GOOD BREWING WATER IS RARE
The ability of water to carry minerals
is the reason why only a certain jew
waters are good for brewing. Various
salts and minerals in most waters re
act with far-reaching effect during the
brewing process. The purity and fla
vor of Olympia Beer are kept constant
by the exclusive use of the rare brew
ing water drawn from subterranean
wells at Tumwater, Washington.
