'Anti-Rai

Officiols Approve
Heulth Service
Eradication Plon

AT a special meeting of the
commission council of Pascagou-
la Wednesday, city authorities
approved a plan for rat eradica-
ton presented by Public Health
officers and agreed to maintain
a permanent eradication expert
following the three-month inten-
Sive drive.
Setting the plan before Mayor
Walter R. Gulley, S. c. Frederic
and L. G. Behkham, city commits
sioners, were Ed Johnson of the
State Board of Health and DR..
Henry B. Hoff, director of the
Jackson County Health Depart
ment. Under this plan, a crew
will be sent in by the United
States Health Service to rat-proof
the entire business district in a
three-month period. During this
time, the men comprising the
crew would train a man to take
the permanent job with the city
to continue the rat proofing and
killing and poisoning of rats in
the town. At the suggestion of
the city council, this man would
be made directly responsible to
the county health department.
The proposed set-up outlined
by the city would include the
setting up of a $4,000 revolving
fund for use in keeping necessary
rat-proofing materials on hand.
The owner of the building on
which work is done will be
charged for the materials used
but not for the services of either
the U. S. Health Service experts
or the trained man retained by
the city.
Eliminate TYphus
According to Mr.. johnson, the
damage caused by rats has been
estimated at $40 per person a
year, which involves a sum APP
preaching $500, 900 yearly in
Pascagoula.
In buildings so old or in such
bad repair that they cannot be
rat-proofed, the rats will be trap
ped and poisoned at least once a
month through this service and
the program will be extended in
to the residential districts.
The plan will probably be mod
eled along the lines of that used
in Gulfport for the past year.
RAT eradication will also elm
mate the danger of a typhus fe-
ver epidemic" DR.. Hoff said.
There have been 20 cases in
the county since the first of the
year and lately there has been
an average of two a week. This
is not an epidemic but Mobile
cases reached epidemic stage this
summer and a year ago Gulfport
went through an epidemic. The
health service is anxious to guard
against such a possibility in Pas
cagoula."

touched, Hanford is a strong sup
porter of Statehood for Alaska and
heads. the Wrangell Statehood Club.
While visioning Statehood as the
ultimate goal, he believes that Alas
kans should do something to help
themselves. He sees great POSSIBLE
ties in intelligent development of the
after-war tourist business; believes
plans should be made now so that
Alaska will be in position to grasp
the opportunities which he feels
are sure to come with the cessation
of hostilities. He sees possibilities
in the DEVELOPMENT of plywood
plants and personally is interested
in one outside concern to the point
where it is experimenting with Sti-
kline River birch for that purpose.
the results of which are highly
gratifying.
One of the things for which Han :
ford has pleaded for years is the
extension of the public health SER
vice to trollers.
Il believe the trollers are Untitled
to the same consideration given the
workers on boats of over five tons
registered he says, Il believe the
present regulations should be am
ended to include all fishing vessels
regardless of tonnage or registra
ton, and substitute the now exist
ing, hospitals if necessary"
Ardent supporter of public utill'
ties, Hanford is largely responsible
for the municipal power plant
Wrangell now owns. He believes
cheap power from public owned
utilities can go long way toward
bringing additional industry to the
Territory.
In private life, the Mayor is con-
signment agent for the Union Oil
Company in Wrangell. Fraternally
he is the Past District Deputy OF
the Elks, and has membership IN
half dozen organizations in which
he is invariably active. Politically
he's a Democrat. the one who was
chairman of the Divisional Con-
|vention in Juneau last fall. and
with 20 votes, was largely respon-
sible for the planks adopted by that
party and subsequently adopted in
large part by the Territorial con-
vention in Fairbanks.
IF elected says Hanford who is
chary about making campaign
promises. Il will continue to serve
the people of my community and
the Territory to the best of my
ability"
