GUARD CEREMONY
TURNOUT TERMED
DISGRACE" HERE
BedIe Says Ameritanism
of Juneduites Little
in Evidence

The meagre turnout at Saturday S
Inauguration of the local National
Guard Company was "a disgrace to
juneau in the opinion of Charles
Beale, President of the Juneau
Chamber of Commerce.
Speaking today at the Juneau Ro-
tary Club luncheon on American
ISM" Beale said there was no eX-
cuse for any man who considers
himself a good citizen of Juneau to
have been absent from the cere-
mony.
Here were the young men Of the
community who had volunteered to
serve their Territory and Nation
lined up for review, and only a
handful to witness the ceremony.
That's not Americanism," Beale de-
clared.
The speaker defined Americanism
as loyalty to American ideals and
traditions and said that fair play
was one of the outstanding Ameri-
can traits.
Dr. w. w. Council reported on
the meeting of all State and Ter
ritorial Health officers which he
attended in Washington last week.
The club voted to purchase three
pairs of glasses for children needing
them and unable to buy them.

Public Health Service is confronted
With
Dr. W. w. Council, Territorial Di-
rector of the Public Health Service,
returned on the Alaska Clipper yes
terday afternoon after attending
meetings in Washington called by
Surgeon General Thomas Parran
to discuss the work of the Public
Health Service with relation to the

Big Conference
Directors from the 48 states and
Alaska conferred as to means of
handling the necessary blood tests
of the draft program, but agreed
the problem was difficult to meet
with only about 10000 doctors in
the country.
DR.. Council proposed a staggered
schedule of testing with family doc
tors to be called in for aid, and
also proposed a system of taking
tests of those youths who will be-
come of draft age within a year
so that rehabilitation of the positive
testers can be made before the draft
date arrives.
Services Offered
To facilitate the biggest blood
testing program in history, the Pub
lie Health Service has been offered
the services of 100000 clerks, DIR.
Council said.
Test tube manufacturers follow
ed the proceedings closely, DR..
Council remarked, adding, Il don't
know where the service will be able
to get 16,500,O00 test tubes-and the
three cent stamp for each one mailed
in will be an item in itself.'
Making his trip by plane, DR..
Council left here a week ago Sat

ington, one day in Chicago and two
days in Seattle, being absent from
