Money raised through the efforts
of the 1/VCO women in their community,
wide Bazaar held last spring to finance
the TB X-Ray Surrey for this area whiohi
was conducted through the Office of
the Public Health Nurse here* has just
begun to talk*
In June* 1953* an X-Ray team from
•he Alaska Department of Health* coiw
listing of Leigh Kerr and Edna Crawfordi
eat up equipment in Dillingham -and the
majority of villages in this area for
their mas3 X-Ray endeavor* which last
ed throughout the summer and early
fall months* totaling some 96# persons
©grayed in this survey and * now it
is epcarent that many undiagnosed
oases of tuberoulosic were discovered#
Follow-up on these oases was done by
the health nurse her© and many were
Investigated at Kanakanak Hospital*

':".i patient8 were admitted to sanator
in Seward* Mt# Edgeoumbe and
Tacoma* Eight more patients have been
alerted and will be admitted in the

made, in 1953 made it possible for many
of these cases to be diagnosed* They
might have become advanced undetected*

Bill Brandon* failed to return on timH
They left here August 20 for the up

ed by Pete Hansen* who lost sight of hi3
companions enroute to their planned camp
site* landed* unloaded the party* s sup
plies and began looking for them# He
searched over the seotion in whioh he hop

then returned here to find that they had
notl
The following day was too bad for
search parties* so the next day Pet©
took off* figuring just about where Dick
had landed# Continuing beyond the esti
mated oite* he found the plane where it
had landed on the opposite side of the
mountains# No one was hurt at all—bub
somehow the plane needed some part re
placements whioh were flown in the next
