! NEW ERA AHEAD
 FOR ALASkA IN
 HEALTH PROGRAM
Dr. (. Earl AIbreeht DeIiy. CTS Timely Talk 10 Local
 Chamber of Commerce

I Territorial c m m issioner of Health, pr. C. Earl Albrecht, was the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of the Chamber of Com merce held today in the Baranof Hotel. Dr. Albrecht informed the members, T feel that we are fac ing a new era in the combating l of public health problems in AL aska. I base that on the fact that Alaskans, as Americans every where, are now ready as never be- fore to accept strong program for better health"
 There is a change of attitude on I the part of Alaskans towards the l tuberculosis problem now because they know the facts, he said. Ten years ago, tuberculosis was seldom mentioned because it was believed l to be a native disease. Today, how ever, statistics prove that the death rate among white people in AL aska is higher than the total death
 
 1 rate for all people in the United States. Realization of these facts and others has changed their at titude and opinions and people are willing to talk and learn more about this disease.
 This is true also in regard to venereal disease" said Dr. Albrecht. Facts on this subject can now be brought out into the open for the public's protection.
 ! "Alaskans want good, safe living for themselves and now want to prepare for those who come to Alaska to live consequently, we must improve our environmental sanitation" he concluded. It was reported to the chamber that ts. F. Morris considers the storeroom for fishermens gear out of the question because only one fisherman was willing to rent the space, and he wishes to inform the chamber that the building now under construction for that purpose is to be made into a small apart ment house.
 Guests at todays meeting were B. H. Stordahl, painting contractor, of Seattle; George Bonney, of Pittsburgh; Mckay Malcolm, local architect; c. E. Swanson, of Peters, burg; The Rev Arthur N. Billy, of Sitka; Henrick Valle, general con- tractor, of Seattle; Carl I. Carlson, of Seattle; It. Comdr. Theresa M Crowley, USCGR (W), of Ketchi- kan, and Ensign Leon R. Lauder, of Ketchikan.

 Yokosuka's barracks area showed virtually no evidence of American bcmbings, aside from the wreckage of ships close to the shore. Signifi- cant, however, were vegetable gar dens planted between the one and two-story barracks buildings, show ing the intensity of efforts to ob- tain more food.
 Formalities between the Ameri- cans and the Japanese were stiff, and the veteran fighting men of the Marines conducted themselves in a stern, business-like way. There were no handshakes, no salutes by the Marines, who carried the proud designation of the Fourth Regi- ment-virtually annihilated at Ba- taan.

JUDGE H0LzHEIMER
 HAPPY TO BE HOME
 AFTER TRIP SOUTH

He wouldn't trade one little corner of Juneau for the whole city of Washington, D. o." Judge Will liam A. Holzheimer said today on returning from three months trip to the States. He claims he got wetter during a thunderstorm in Washington, while attending a baseball game and then waiting 45 minutes in a crowd for a taxicab to get back to his hotel, than he ever got in all his many years ln Alaska. And the humidity in that city is no joke, he added.
 High point of his visit south was stop with his sister and her son and daughter, in Grand Rapids, Mich, whom he had not seen for g years. Visiting in his old home town of Saginaw, Mich, for the first time since 1898, he found but few of his old friends left, although an uncle and several cousins were still there and he had most en- joyable visit with them.
 Judge Holzheimer covered many of the eastern states during his trip, and in most cases found travelling unpleasant as well as in- convenient.
 1 Upon arriving in Seattle on his way south, he met his grand daughter, Mary Gregory. who has been attending school in that city She has been interested for some time in joining the Nurses Corps, but cannot enter until February, so plans to take a four months course this fall at Washington State College.
 Happy to be home again, and looking exceptionally we'll, Judge Holzheimer was ready to go back to work today.
