Survey Being Sought
 It is pointed out that the Alaska committee is trying to build up a large enough fund to give it an amount sufficient to put through a complete survey of all children, both white and native, up to the age of 20 or more--or through the most susceptible age of tuberculosis.
 At the present time approximate ly 5000 is on deposit for the asso- ciation in the B. M. Behrends Bank in Juneau, and it is hoped to double that amount this year. It is antici- pated that at the next session of the legislature any sum then on hand with the association will be matched by an appropriation from the terri tory. This would then give the tuber- culosis fighters sufficient working sum to show the true situation of tu- berculosis in the territory
 Tuberculosis Toll High
 At the present time it is recorded that among the natives of Alaska there is ten to twelve times as much tuberculosis as is found in other To- calities, while the instances of tuber- culosis among the whites are about on a par with those of similar To- calities in the states.
 The Alaska Tuberculosis Associa- ton hopes that from the results of it's survey 1t can convince Washing ton, D. C., of the need of at least two modern tuberculosis sanitariums in Alaska.
 It is not contemplated that there will be very much direct relief grant, ed from the present fund, such pro- cedure being too much of drain on

Lesher was named as chairman of the committee to handle this work The club has already on hand suf- ficient toys for use at this time but would greatly appreciate having books and busy work of all sorts, Mrs. Lesher stated. Books for young CT children are particularly desired, and colored crayons, and painting materials can also be used to good advantage, she said. Several of the children have tuberculosis of the spine. and are unable to play with ordinary games and toys, but they enjoy books and busy work. For most of these children the treat from the Club is the only Christmas remem- brance they receive, though the hos pital authorities have always pro- vided the tree.
