GRAHAMS IN FROM GULL COVE; FIRST
 TIME IN ONE YEAR Y'E|
Second Juneau from
 Island Farm lsMdde
 in Ten Years

Forlsthe second stisAel in 10 years "smokehouse Bjll9 Graham and his wife have had to leave their little farm at Gull Cove, on Chichagof Island, and come into the city to transact business that could not be put off any longer. And, they are not too happy about it, either. Bill sighed and said: we were out there for 10 years once without coming in.'
 The w. C. GrahamS are hotel people who said they could not resist the call of the wild" and, so, after years of trekking between Alaska and the States, they decided to make their home in the country. They did not care for the "big cities" of Southeast Alaska and decided to be true pioneers. So, with two months supply of grub and 85 cents in coin, they left, one day, II years ago, for Gull Cove.
 Their farming venture has paid off we'll They sell jelly to cus- toners all oyer the 48 states, made from wild Strawberries and lagoon berries. They raise all their own vegetables, ard most of their meat comes from the wild deer that abound in the mountains of Chi chagof. and from a flock of chick ems Mrs. Graham takes care of.
 No Picnic"
 Bill said, pride shining in his blue eyes: We work hard. It isn't any picnic, but me and the wife get along just like a couple of kids
 When they return to Gull Cove they will have a deck-load of lum- Der on the Pelican for use in building nine-room lodge that they started sometime ago. This is the start of their postwar plans In addition to the lodge, the Gra- hams want to build small hand pack cannery and put in a saw mill. They already have the ma chinery for the mill.
 Besides their house, farm build ings and general store, Bill has a smokehouse 10 feet square and 25 feet high. That is how he got his name. Years ago he built a smoke house and became famous for the smoked salmon he turned out.
 Enterprise For Son
 Bill is now 72 and his wife is 70 They are starting these new enter prises, not for themselves, but fol their son, Chester, who at present along with millions of other Am. erican boys, is fighting our enemie. across the seas Chester is aboard minesweeper in the Philippines
 Graham said: we've got to have jobs for these boys when they re. turn. Maybe Chester will want tC bring along some of his buddies tt Gull Cove"
 Talking of the future of his littl, settlement, 26 miles from Pelican City, another new settlement il Southeast Alaska, and one whicf the Grahams have never visited Bill said the strawberries grow jus behind the wild salt water gras and, right behind the strawberries between them and the timber, grow the lagoon berries.

War Is Heaven -
For Reformers

War is the reformerS idea of Heaven
on earth" says John r. Schenken, MD, in
the Orleans Parish Medical Society Bulletin.
The psychological shock of war upon the
population always seems to sway the people
into the acceptance of social legislation :"
In regard to the social program for state
medicine which is being SO persistently
pushed before Congress, DR.. Schenken COM
mented on the first draft of the Wagner
Murray-Dingell bill. 1--WE as physicians were
vitality interested in the medical aspects of
the bill =. 1t Seethed with compulsion, regi-
mentat1on and LIBERALIZATION whose obiec-
tive 1t was to prevent and correct physical
Ills 1t added a staggering tax load to an
already overburdened populace, and its fea-
lures of wholesale class RECOMMENDATION with
It's resultant loss of freedom, conflicted SO
violently with American ideals that
even the most ardent reformerS could not
support the bill. 1t did in committee.
"A new Wagner bill has arisen from the
dead Its authors tell us that no regimen
tatlon is involved :. 1t is the responsibility
OF the medical profession f.. to examine
sympathetically all health plans whose
fundamental premise is based on sound in
Surance principles without the Objectionable
element of RECOMMENDATION"
The new bill represents the height of
compulSion because it takes per cent of
wages up to $500 year, paid equally by
employers and employees. This is com
pulSory tax over which the Individual has
no control. You must choose from doctors
who are on the official panel. If you prefer
your own family physician who may not
be on the panel, you pay your tax as we'll
as our own doctor.
There is plenty of room for Federal and
state cooperation with the American medical
profession to bring about better health, sani-
tation, working and living conditions, and
the encouragement of voluntary prepay
ment hospital and medical plans without
compulsory Specialization of medicine

Pie d Piper--1o 90 5

With appropriation of funds by the city,
the local health department has begun a
campaign to rid the city of rats. But all
the money spent-all the efforts of the
health department to control rats will be
of no avail unless the residents of Wyan-
dotte cooperate.
Rats will thrive as long as garbage and
refuse is scattered about alleys-garbage
cans remain uncovered-and all conditions
which lend themselves to the breeding of
rats remain uncorrected
Damages caused by rats to property in
the United States amounts to several mil
lions of dollars annually-and threats of
epidemicS caused by rodents are equally
as serious. TOday'S pied piper must be each
individual home-owner who will rid the
city Of rats armed-not with pipe-but
with literature pointing out methods of
rat control-and death dealing red squill.
