Few Symptoms

and the eradication Of tuberculosis.
Few Symptoms
If we get it in the early or in
cipient stage, we can nearly al
ways cure a person with tubercu-
losis. The trouble in the past has
been that it produces so few symp-
toms thatit becomes well developed
before anybody is aware that he
is sick. The records are full of
people who died of "a neglected
cold" or something that ran into
tuberculosis" 1t didn't run into
tuberculosis, the tuberculosis was
there all the time but only IN its
late stages began to manifest
symptoms.
The best method for rapid and
accurate detection Of the incipient
case is by the use Of the x-ray with
the fiat plate. Undoubtedly this
method will be used by the army.
We recited few weeks ago the
experience at the New York
Worlds Fair where firm offered
to take fiat plate Of the chest for
s1.00 of anyone who applied--in
other words, an entirely unsolicited
group Of cases. The astonishing
result was that 3.3 per cent Of
those who had the examination
were shown to have tuberculosis
-o,.,a ckana Otbar
X-Ray Plate. New Development
During the last war the army
boards used physical examination
with stethoscope; at least they
did in the early drafts. The x-ray
plate was not we'll developed in
those days. Ewatched these boards
work in noisy rooms under very
unfavorable circumstances and ]
felt that they must have missed
many cases.
If the plate method is used | an
sure nearly all cases will be dis.
covered and undoubtedly we will
have TO revise our statistical ideas
about tuberculosis.
This method is typical Of the
endeavors of health authorities
at case finding in any community
These endeavors on the part Of the
boards of health have met with
considerable resistance. People dc
not like to think about the POSSIBLE
ity and wholesale examination is
for that reason impractical. If II
were done, however, and those with
tuberculosis were removed from
households where other people
might contract the disease from
them, we would probably be taking
the longest step towards the COM
plete eradication of this disease.

TAKING ALASkA CENSUS POSES MANY PROBLEMS;
 COUNTING BEGAN EARLY

the Supervisor is required to make preliminary announcements of the population of all towns and villages of more than 200 population, all re- cording districts, and finally of each Judicial Division and of the Terri tory as a whole.
 Dog Teams Help
 Air transportation is being used in some cases but in most large and sparsely settled districts away from the coast dog teams are being used. Dogs are not as plentiful as in for mer years, hence the cost of dog team hire is somewhat greater than ten years ago. In some districts it has been very heavy.
 The population returns so far re- ceived indicate that the population of the Territory will be between 72.00O and 73,O00. Only from the First Division are sufficient returns in to give a definite estimate. To date 24,6l8 have been listed. with somewhat less than 1000 in the parts yet unreported. Ten years ago the population was 19,306. The popula- tion of the Territory 10 years ago was 59,278

Taking the census in Alaska with it's large area and small population presents problems that are not met with in the States This is recog- nized in Washington and to help overcome the handicapS and have the enumeration completed at the proper time the date of beginning the census was October 1, 1889 in Alaska while in the States it is April l, 1940
 The setup for the Sixteenth De- cennial Census is as follows Each Judicial Division is divided into enumeration districts. Such enum- eration district may comprise whole recording district or only a part of such recording district Each town and many of the villages, es- pecially the larger ones, were con- stituted enumeration districts. Ju- neau and Ketchikan each had three enumeration districts. and in An chorage and Fairbanks there were two. Some of the larger districts covered thousands of square miles. As originally laid out there were 59 enumeration districts in the First Judicial Division, 48 in the Second, TO in the Third, and 65 in the Fourth A number of changes were later made
 A Supervisor to have charge of the entire wo/ of taking the census was appointed with headquarters at Juneau Also an Assistant to the I Supervisor for each of the Second Third and Fourth Divisions, the Assistants to have the immediate supervision of the work in their di- visions, that in the First Division being directly looked after by the Supervisor.
 Agencies Cooperate
 Several Governmental Depart ments are actively cooperating in the taking of the census. The larger part of the coast of Southeast AL aska and Prince William Sound, out side of towns and villages, is being enumerated by employees of the Forest Service. The outlying re- gions of the Kodiak, Alaska Penin- sula and part of the Bristol Bay area are to be taken by the Wardens of the Bureau of Fisheries The Aleutian Islands, part of the Bristol Bay region, and two other districts in the Third Division have been as signed to the Wild Life Agents of the Alaska Game Commission Most of the native villages where the Off, flee of Indian Affairs maintains schools are being enumerated by the teachers, and in few villages teachers in Territorial Schools have done the work

 Diaries in the Anchorage, Peters burg, Cordova and Haines milk sheds were reconstructed to comply with the sanitary specifications of the Territorial Standard Milk Ordi- nance. In accordance with the ordl- nance provisions, these dairies were graded and are distributing their milk and milk products under grade labels. Diaries in Juneau Fair banks and Seward had been grad ed prior to 1939
 Undulant Fever
 Epidemics of undulant fever, milk borne disease, occurred in the towns of Ketchikan and Anchorage in 1889 and 1940 Investigation of these epidemics by this department demonstrated the local daires as the probable source of disease. Tests of the dairy herds by the Territorial Veterinarian showed the presence of Brucella Abortus, the causative organism of this disease, in the raw milk of several COWS in each dairy.
 As a result of these startling find- ings, this Department recommend ed the adoption of compulsory pas teurization of all milk in the com munities for the future protection of the public from this disease.
 Pasteurization plants were in- stalled in Ketchikan and Anchorage to provide for the effective pasteur- ization of all raw milk produced by the local dairies. These plants were constructed in accordance with the provisions of the Territorial Standard Milk Ordinance.

sanitary food establishments ill these heavily populated industrial communities obviate the public health menace created by insani- tation.
 Marked improvement in food es- tablishment sanitation was noted by the Division in the past year. The 1163 inspections made by the Division in that period served to stimulate the observance of sani- tary procedures of food production and distribution Proper dishwash- ing and disinfection and food pro- lection methods were particularly observed by the operators.
 The medical examination of food handlers in public food establish ments was facilitated by the addi- ton of supplement to the exist ing law by the Territorial Board of Administration. The supplement provides for a standard fee for the examination.
 The rapid population increase of the small village of Kodiak during the year presented a major sanita- tion problem. Polluted wells, inn proper sewage disposal, promiscuops garbage dumping and several in- sanitary food establishments hur- riedly constructed created a poten- tial menace to the community health. Rigid enforcement of sani- tation regulations and promotion of temporary sanitary sewage disposal by the Division of Public Health Engineering, however, provided the essential sanitation program for the protection of the community health.

ALASKA'S FIRST CENSUS TAKEN
 100 YEARS AGO

Alaska's first "census"-a far cry from the scientific enum- eration of tOday-Was conduct ed in 1839 Wrangel reported it showed a population of 10000 including 246 Russians and 864 "Crecles" presumably children of Russian fathers and Native mothers.)
 The Russian population of Alaska in 1851 was given as 505.
 In 1857, according to Wran- gel, there were GA Russians and 1900 Creoles.
 Lippancott's Gazetteer esti- mated the Alaska population in 1855 as 1000. Keith Johnson's Atlas the same year placed the population at 66,000. McCul- tough in his Geographical Die tionary said 72,000 The old conservative Almanac de Gotha stuck to 50.G00.

Second Divis- ion. Mrs. Jennie w Martin, Nome; Assistant to Supervisor, Third Di- vision, Robert M Mills, Anchorage; Assistant to Supervisor, Fourth Di- vision, William F. Arend, Fairbanks.
 163 Enumerat0rs
 There are 39 enumerators in the First Division, A in the Second, A in the Third, and 37 in the Fourth, with one duplication as one enum- orator is taking the census in one district of the Third and one in the Fourth Division.
 It is well to keep in mind that the figures given in the table are not the final figures. For instance, since the population of Juneau was announced on December 14 enough additional names have been picked up to raise the figure to more than $500 These were few that had been missed by the enumerators when making the canvass of the town. but more that were out of town at the time. No enumeration can be 100 per cent correct but the aim is to make the count as accu- rate as possible.
