WHAT CAN WE DO?

There is much to be said concern
ing the problem What Can We Do
on the tuberculosis question. Tuber-
euIosis will not occur very often in
a community, if you. as a citizen
will take part in trying to prevent
it. Many who have tuberculosis are
careless and ignorant about spread
ing it. Therefore, it would be wise
to see that these careless and ig-
norant individuals are well taken
care of, cured if possible.
Splitting in the streets is a very
bad habit in Wrangell. People that
pass the place where someone has
spit, pick up the tuberculosis germ
on their feet and as result it is
taken into the home. In some COM
munities officers see to it that peo-
pie do not spit in the streets. II
found doing SO, they are fined. This
would be a very good idea for this
town and every other.
Another great problem that can
be solved, and is being solved is
the sewage question. People do not
The Wrangell sentinel. (Wrangell, Alaska) 1909-current, 1939-04-28
W RAJ CELL HI-LINES
SPONSORED MESSENGER

realize the amount of disease that
can result from not having proper
disposal of waste matter. Now, It
seems. the town Is having this ia
ken care of. However much Is still
to be done for such wastes as gar
bage.
Sanitation IN the home is another
important problem. A mother who
loves her children will see that her
children have the tuberculosis test.
That her children in the best of
health have proper food, enough
sleep, play and rest, good milk, and
a clean place to live in. She will try
and keep her children in the best
of health. Very often, some old
folks live with their daughters or
sons who are married and have
children. The young married folks
know that their parents have t. b.
yet they refuse to send them away
to some sanitarium for fear they will
be lonely or will not have good care.
Finally the outcome is the children
get tuberculosis. The sanitariums Of
today see that the patients get well
and are better than they ever could
be any other time or place.
When a selfish individual knows
that he has t. b. he usually tries co
hide it. He fears he might lose his
friends, social standing, etc. He
keeps mixing with his friends as If
nothing were the matter. Then, the
other people with whom he has
associated get it. Then it is too late
for this selfish individual to cure
his disease. It has already spread
throughout his system. Then, of
course, he is sorry he did not have
it taken care of earlier.
There are many things the COM
munity can do to solve this tuber-
culosis and other serious health
problems. If each will only help, the
death rate probably will be much
lower than it is today.

On Friday evening, April IS, at
s D. n, "Hansel and Gretel," fairy
operetta, will be presented by the
children of the Wrangell grade
school in the gymnasium.
The operetta, as given is minia=
ture version of the opera by Hum
perdinek. Il has been adapted for
Juveniles by Thomas NJ. Hayes. Most
OF the music has been modified IN
form for children's voices. but sew
eral of the simpler songs will be
presented in their original form.
"Hansel and GreteI has been
chosen for a number of reasons. It
is an operetta that uses large
number of children, yet requires a
minimum of expense for eostumtng
and producing. There are no solos
or duets. The music is furnished by
a chorus of lightweight voices. In
this way a large number of children
are privileged to participate, thus
making the operetta an all-grade
project.
The operetta is being produced
by the combined efforts and coop

LIGHT VOTE is CAST IN
TOWN ELECTION MONDAY
Only Required Number Of Can
didates Named at Citizens
Meeting

Lack of opposing candidates and
consequently lack Of a contest in the
annual municipal election likewise
caused lack of interest in the vot-
ing of residents on Monday and only
forty-nine ballots were cast for the
three candidates for members of the
Council. Only one vote for each, how
ever, was necessary for election.
Those elected to serve two years on
the governing body were Emroy Bot
den, Delbert M. Davis and Irwin r.
Rudy. Richard L. Davis was chosen
treasurer for another term of one
year. These were the only candidates
nominated at the citizens meeting on
the evening of March 7.
The Council will organize at the
regular meeting in April. Hold-ove1
members are Earl w. Sartzer, Henry
w. McComas, Jr., and Raymond D.
Houck.
1t was the decision Of the outgoing
council that nothing definite would
be done toward the selection of site
for the community building until the
new Council had met and organized.
