these very cases; the condition
that we face is that the patient
with this dangerous and con-
tagious disease, remains in the
home, and eventually destroys
the entire family.
In short the Native race, &C
cording to competent author
tiles is threatened with destruc-
ton.
Therefore it is the wish of
this assembly that our Grand
Officers appeal to the Federal
authorities to establish a tuber-
cular hospital in Southeastern
Alaska, and that the hospital
be not established at any sea-
port, but at some high dry
place like the country back of
Skagway.

ALASKA INSANE

The Alaska Native Brother
hood endorses the plan of hav-
ing the insane persons of Al
aska cared for by the federal
government in Alaska, especial
ly the insane natives.
We protest the present con-
tract system which CONNER
cia1izes the misfortunates of
our people.
We protest any outside asy-
lun because it takes our peo-
pie away from the only country
that they know and love; and
removes them from the vista
ton of friends, relatives and
language.

place left for the seine fisher
men to work and no fish to go
up the streams. The new To-
cation is made just where all
the fish school up and wait for
low tide.
We also believe the Non-res-
ident fishermen with their large
seine boats should be taxed so
that they would either stay out
of the country or come here to
live so that the Territory could
have the benefit of their earn
ings.

DISCRIMINATION

We protest the discrimina-
ton of the Bureau of Fisheries
against the resident fishermen
of Alaska, and point out partic-
ularly that the seines and gill
nets are limited as to length
and depth.
Whereas no restrictions are
placed on standing traps and
but a minor limitation on float
ing traps, and we also point
out that the restricted areas
are entirely SEEMING grounds so
The Alaska fisherman. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1923-1932, 1927-01-15

that it appears that the fish
are to be conserved by the
Bureau of Fisheries for the
benefit of traps only.
A case we'll in point is Sag
inaw Bay which bay, formerly
closed, has now been opened
just enough to admit the opera
ton of two traps.

RESOLUTION re ICY
STRAITS TRAPS

We, the members of Camp
No. IL, Alaska Native Broth
erhood of Hoonah, Alaska, feel
it our duty to report to the
convention conditions as we
know them to be in the Icy
Strait district. AS loyal res
idents of Alaska and true cit
liens of the United States we
must voice our protest at the
number and location of traps
at the gateway from the sea
where all fish must pass into
Icy Strait from Cross Sound.
Chart No. 1904 U. S. c. & G. S.
will give the true distances
and location of points.
We, all members of this
camp, saw in operation this
summer two large traps op-
posite each other on the north
and south shore Of South In
ian Pass which is much less
than three miles wide at this
point. On the other side of
the island in North Inian Pass
is another large trap which,
with the two in South Pass,
catch nearly all the fish enter
ing Icy Strait through Cross
Sound. The seine fishermen
can make but one haul during
low tide, but these traps fish
all day and all night. Anoth-
er location has been made and
we understand a new trap will
be built in South Pass next
summer which means all the
fish entering Icy Strait at this
point will be caught by these
four traps; there will be no

RESOLUTION re KLA WOCK
ROAD
ROAD

Whereas Cape Chacon, south
end of Prince of Wales Island,
is a very treacherous body of
waters, frequently stopping
mail and freight, and
Whereas the route from the
mailing point of Ketchikan to
the points on the West Coast
of Prince of Wales Island, can
be greatly shortened and made
reliable, and
Whereas a road from Kasaan
Bay or tributaries over to Kla-
wock is short, feasible and will
meet the obstacles above men,
toned and will greatly advance
the development of the West
Coast Of Prince of Wales Is
land, and
Whereas cases arise where
the only relief a sick person
can have is from Ketchikan,
recourse often made impossible
by the waters around Cape
Chacon:
Therefore be it resolved that
the Bureau of Public Roads or
whatever body has charge Of
roads in this district be asked
to build road from Kasaan
Bay to Klawock and other
points on the West Coast.

School in the Papers

newspapers while they barred from their cassrooms by
infantile paralysis epidemic.
Lists OF lessons are printed daily the pupils keep record

when they return to school
is scheme that does credit to the ingenuity of the
educational authorities and the public spirit of the pub
fishers.
But there's nothing unusual about children going to school
in the newspapers Most modern youngsters do that all the
time Their familiarity with newspapers dates from the
age when they began to read, and for awhile they only
follow the fortunes of their comic strip friends and look
at pictures their attention extends gradually the news
of what is going
Children have eager curiosity about everything and
the newspaper, surveying daily all the interesting happen
ngs nearby and far away furnishes entertainment and in
formation they appreciate.
No longer do maintain walls of ignorance around grow
ing minds The uptodate method of training children deals
in the ruthgives boys and girls clear view of things
they they may build upon solid foundation Of
facts
Even though children learn from their newspapers that this
is Notwithstanding world but that there is in it. and
DEATH and wickednes they also learn how much it holds
of beauty and dndliness and achievement
They will face what they must later with open eyes,
which surely better than stumbling bndy discoveries

Guide them In understanding the lessons in right conduct
which the newspapers point with stories of life Show
them how they profit from and enjoy their attendance

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

YOUR child may he at board.
Il ing school. II not, some
neighbours child is surely at one
of these useful establishments.
Such a neighbor child, contracting
an infectious disease at a board
ing school. may become an innn-
cent carrier of the infection back
into the home neighborhood.
say this not because the thing is
more liable to happen in A hoard,
ing school than elsewhere where
large numbers of children are
grouped. On the contrary. ! am
convinced that boarding schools
very generally are far above the
average even of homes and publ"
schools in safeguarding children
against infection.
This question has been gone into
very carefully by DR.. Simey. who
Is the medical officer to the IA
nous Rugby School in England.
He gave particular attention to
scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles.
German measles, mumps and
whooping cough.
Since a small number Of scarlet
fever convalescents never become
entirely harmless, but retain the
germ in their threats to flare up
after a long interval when they
get cold. a possible preCaution
might be to inoculate them with
an autogeneouS vaccine taken from
their threats when convalesceuce
begins.
In diphtheria the existing rules,
however exasperating, should he
observed, even if the germ-the
So.called Klebs -Roeffler bacillus
be shown not 10 be virulent.
A measles patient is never fit
to return 70 school within fourteen
days of the fun development Of
the rash and often should he
kept away considerably longer.
German measles is sometimes
difficult to diagnose from measles,
scarlet fever and a number OF
other non-infectious rashes, but
once the diagnosis is certain a
hoy should not be kept away
from his work if he Is physically
fit. Boys suffering from chicken
pox are nearly always detained
too long. and the following rules
give sufficient margin OF safety:
Chicken pox patients are safe
provided they have plenty Of open
air. SOAP and hot baths. theu
they are clinicallv and aesthet-
ically fit, so long as care Is
taken not 10 overlook the pres.
ence Of enlarged glands.
The author considers that the
usual sanitary rules concerning
humps and whooping cough
should be followed as he has more
respect for both of these infec.
tions than most lavmen hSve.
The actual period of infectivitv
Of whooping cough is probably
short. however, and limited to the
catarrhal stages.
DR.. Simev insists that the wash
ing, especially the handkerchiefs
and sheets, of a boy who is ad-
mitted to the school sanitarium
with infectious disease needs spe.
cial care. After he is admitted,
linen scraps or the cheapest cot.
ton handkerchiefs should be freely
supplied IN place of his own, and
promptly burned when soiled.
The undertakes and handker.
chiefs with which he enters the
wards are the most likely objects
IN harbor the infection In Its
most active phase. The author
feels most strongly that these
should either go to the HOSPITAL

''Necking' may no longer be

1t may be as pure as an incinera-

But, like a tooth brush or a nap
kin, it should be a purely PER
SONAL affair.
People who MUST meek" like
people who must use tooth pick,
should keep it dark secret. You
have no right, in well-hred So
ciety, IN spoil other peoples appe-
tites for food-or love.
And this open.faced "necking"
in restaurants and taXiCabs does
wreck the illusions and spoil the
appetite for love. 1t has taken
and all the kick out of romance
for most of us. It is like living
your whole life with the shades
pulled up!
''Necking" is to love making what
the custard-pie comedies are to
