A number of reporters present at
his news conference quickly pro
tested that this was not so.
They said all of his remarks
were published, subject only to the
White House’s own restrictions
against using quotation marks
without the President's permission.
Mr. Truman at his news confer
ence a week ago insisted he has
the power to send troops to Europe
or anywhere else he thinks they
are needed but said that as a
matter of courtesy he will consult
Congress before doing so.
He said too that if Congress tried
to stop him by cutting down on ap
propriations he would carry the
question to the American people.
He added: “I licked ’em once.”

HEALTH SERVICE
INCREASES 1950
SURVEY SHOWS
Dr. C. C. Carter, city health of
ficer, reported today that 1950
showed an increase over 1949 in
public health nursing activities for
the Gast'.neau Channel area.
Services were offered in coht.ol
of communicable and v e n e. v e a 1
diseases; tuberculosis; maternity
service; infant, preschool and
school hygiene, morbidity, crippled
children's service, and adult health
supervision.
The report shows the community
was comparably free of communi
cable disease, only a few cases of
mumps and chickenpox were seen
by the public health nurses.
Monthly immunization clinics were
conducted at the Health Center
with an attendance of 451 persons;
172 persons were vaccinated against
smallpox; 242 were inoculaited for
diphtheria, whooping cough and
tetanus.
Participation by the Public
Health Nursing Service in the con
trol of venereal disease appears very
light, as only a few cases received
service, but it is not a true picture
of the incidence of venereal diseases
in the area and no doubt is only
a small percentage of the cases.
More time and service were de
voted to tuberculosis control than
any other phase of nursing. One
chest X-ray survey was made and
a total of G96 X-ray pictures were
taken. Weekly chest clinics were
conducted, showing 31 patients ad
mitted to medical service 416 office
and clinic visits, 160 admitted to
nursing service and a total of 659
home and office visits made. Also
245 visits were made in behalf of
patients and to patients not found
at home. One hundred and fifty
one X-rays were taken on patients
needing follow-up and rechecks.
Twenty-one patients were admitted
for sanatorium care.
Thirty - nine expectant motnen
were admitted to service and 74
home and nursing visits made to
them. Two hundred and twenty
eight new mothers were seen by
the public health nurse and 363
visits made to give nursing care and
information. Two mothers classes
were conducted with an enrollment
of 19 mothers and total attendance
of 63.
Weekly well baby conferences
were crowded, with an admission of
319; 459 home visits and 568 office
visits.
Three hundred and eleven school
children were admitted to nursing
service, 207 children were given
physical examinations and 354 of
fice and home nursing visits were
made.
Nursing care was given to 66 sick
persons which required 307 home
and office visits.
One crippled children’s clinic and
one chronic disease clinic were held,
and 15 children were admitted tc
medical care and 31 to nursing ser
vice. Forty - three office medical
visits and 182 office and home nurs
ing visits were made. Seven new
cases were reported to the crippled
and chronic disease service and 15
children received hospital care.
Twenty - nine patients received
adult health supervision and 64
home visits made by the Public
Health Nurses to give supervision
and instruction.
Nursing conferences were helc
with city health office, health and
community officials regarding pub
lic health nursing activities and
planning of various public health
nursing programs.
FIRST HARVARD CLUB IN
NORTH IS ORGANIZED;
GRUENING IS PRESIDENT
The northernmost Harvard Club
in the world was founded recently
in the Anchorage area. Gov. Ernest
Gruening was named its first Presi
dent.
At a breakfast meeting held in the
Officers Club, Elmendorf Air Force
Base, Anchorage citizens, Army and
Air Force personnel, all former Har
vard students, gathered to form
Alaska's first Harvard Club, and
at the same time the most northern
organization of its kind. The new
group will call itself the Gist Par
allel Harvard Club in honor of its
location at Anchorage, and indi
cated that the club’s first official
act would be to inform James B
Conant, President of Harvard Uni
versity, as well as the Director of
the Associated Harvard Clubs of
the new organization.
Gov. Gruening, who graduated
from Harvard in 1907, was named
first President of the group by ac
clamation. Other officers elected
were Lt. Col. Stephen C. Monrce,
Chief of Information, U.S. Army.
Alaska, as Vice President, and El
mer E. Rasmuson of the National
Bank of Alaska as Secretary-Trea
surer. Col. Monroe graduated from
Harvard in 1934 and Mr. Rasmuson
in 1930.
Major Joseph M. Hartley, II,
former Harvard football player and
now Army Special Services Officer,
was named Club Poet.
The first order of business for
the new group will be to contact alt
Harvard alumni and former students
in the Territory and invite them to
attend future meetings.
Although no definite date was set
for the next meeting it was agreed
that the club would convene in the
future as required or desired by 'he
majority of the members.
Those who attended the first
meeting included Gov. Gruening,
Mr. Barrie White of Anchorage. Lt.
Col. Charles Kuna, U.S. Army,
| Major Hartley, Lt. Col. James W.
j Clark, U.S. Air Force, Mr. Rasmu
| son, Lt. Col. Monroe, and Major
1 Frank A. Gleason, U.S. Army.
RECOMMENDS ACT
FOR FUNDS ALASKA
I HARBOR PROJECTS
As part of the general drive to
strengthen the Territory, the
Alaska Development Board has re
commended to Delegate E. L. Bart
lett that he introduce in Congress
a special act to appropriate the
funds necessary to construct during
1951 all the harbor improvement
projects in Alaska which have been
approved by the Corps of Engineers
and authorized by Congress.
Involved in the new Development
Board move are a channel dredging
proposal, a river' protection project
and eleven small boat harbors, in
cluding the Gastineau Channel
dredging project.
Loral Projects
At the same time the Board urged
that authorization be sought for
MOW at A.E.L.&P.

seven other Alaska projects which
have been recommended but not yet
adopted b y Congress, including
Douglas harbor and Gold Greek
flood control.
The President’s budget message
this week failed to request an ap
propriation for any Alaska river and
harbor project aside from Wrangell
Narrows.
“Only $3,979,100 would be needed
to build every single one of the
Alaska projects awaiting money
from Congress,’’ George Sundborg,
Consultant to the Alaska Develop
ment Board, stated in a letter to
the Delegate.
Most of the projects involved have
been authorized by Congress ever
since 1945 but no money has been
forthcoming for their construction.
Blockade Prevents Work
The usual procedure after acts of
authorization are passed by Con
gress is for appropriations requests
for the specific projects to be
cleared through the Bureau of the
Budget by the Corps of Engineers.
This has not been done on any of
the Alaska projects except Wrangell
Narrows and the Nome breakwater
for many years. The Development
Board’s proposal for a special act
would seek to get around this block
ade which has prevented work on
so many urgently needed projects.
Funds Authorized
One of the projects involved,
Kodiak harbor improvements cost
ing $58,000, was authorized by Con
gress as long ago as 1940.
Eleven other harbor projects were
authorized in 1945. These, with their
costs, are as follows: Seldovia har
bor, $210,000; Skagway harbor,
$36,500; Gastineau Channel dredg
ing, $800,000: Elfin Cove, $131,000;
Sitka harbor, $724,000: Petersburg
harbor, $150,600; Wrangell harbor,
$422,000; Port Alexander, $79,300;
Meyers Chuck harbor, $99,300; Craig
harbor, $276,000; Metlakatla harbor,
$341,000.
The other authorized project re
maining in Alaska and for which
I the Development Board is urging an
: appropriation is the Skagway River
' Project, which would cost $651,400.
The seven additional projects still
! needing authorization by Congress
before appropriations can be sought
are: Talkeetna flood control, $46,
000: Anchorage harbor, $5,851,000;
Ninilchik harbor, $125,500; Homer
harbor, $54,000; Seldovia small boat
basin, $364,700; Douglas harbor,
$392,000; Gold Creek flood control,
$311,000.

ITS PURPOSE
1 In these critical days of moral deca
dence and assaults against Christian
faith and morals, to give people a
clearer realization of the real purpose
of life and man's great destiny;
2 To enable ;>eople to see more clearly
whether or not they are greeting life’s
course to its proper goal—eternal hap
piness; whether they are using — or
wasting — the limited time allotted to
reach that goal;
3 To help people chart a SURE course,
safe from the many dangers and decep
tions that beset the way;
4 TO INSPIRE PEOPLE TO PERSE
VERE, never to lose heart, but rather
to increase their good efforts until they
have safely reached the Harbor of Sal
vation and Eternal Happiness—a goal
that may be much nearer than you
think!
