 Combat TB af Source

A five year rehabilitation for Al askas natives is being planned by the Alaska Native Service accord ing to Don c. Foster, ANS General Superintendent, who left here via PAA today for Washington, D. c. to confer with Interior Dept. officials eeout several matters.
 He said that the rehabilitation nrogram will encompass housing, sanitation and the development of water supplies. Foster pointed out that money. being spent for med ical purposes to combat tuberculo- sis. is net getting it's full value at present because the cause for the disease still exists.
 The program will do much to el- intimate the main causes of tuber- culcsis. Foster explained, by fur nishang more healthy living faclli- ties for the natives.
 The program will include the purchasing of portable sawmills' tractors and other equipment where timber is available in the Arctic areas. The lumber produced will be used m the construction of suitable housing facilities and labor will be contributed by the natives.
 Foster stated that efforts are al 90 to be made for the developing of small industries in the Aleutians to replace the blue fox industry which has suffered from a severe drop !n he market price. Plans call for establishing small cod salting plant and a shellfish can- nery.
 While in Washington, Foster will also confer with the U. s. Bureau of the Budget about the l948-1949 budget for ANS. He expects to be absent about three weeks.

Cleanup
Campaign
In Progress

The city-county cleanup cam
paign inaugurated in the spring
by North Carolina Sorosis is
being conducted throughout the
community during the month of
November, it was announced
Monday.
In order to reach as many
homes as possible, clubwomen
will personally visit each of the
IA schools in New Hanover
county to solicit the full CO.
operation of P-TAs and students.
Chairman of the campaign,
Mrs. W. A. Fonvielle, said that
noteworthy progress was made
last March when county commits
sioners and the North Carolina
Highway commission removed
considerable rubbish from high
ways and auxiliary roads. The
present Sorosis drive has an ex-
ira purpose and that is to instill
into the consciousness of every
citizen the responsibility of clean
ing up the entire community and
keeping it clean.
Mrs. Fonvielle believes that a
seasonal campaign, such as the
cleanup one, bi-annually con-
Quoted, will pay rich dividends
in satisfaction and pride of our
citizenry.
North Carolina Sorosis solicits
the assistance of all Whining
tonians and citizens of New Han
over county toward developing
a cleaner and more attractive
community.
Members of Sorosis also be-
lieve that the cleanup campaign
offers an opportunity to every
man, woman and child to do
something for the community.
For those many who demand too
much service from the COM
munity without giving anything
in return, Sorosis feels the pres
ent campaign a good vehicle to
launch lot of community spirit.

tonia Gazette, a one-act play en-
titled lone For the Book" writ
ten by Mrs. Edward Summer
row, Jr., nee Dorothy Edwards,
daughter of Mrs. J. D. Edwards
of Wilmington, received excel
lent reviews from society editor,
Zoe Kincad Brockman.
Reviewer Brockman wrote,
''While the action of zone For
the Book moved swiftly across
the boards, women howled in
sympathetic mirth over the tri-
ais of the hostess making ready
to entertain the Woman's club,
who must cope with a watch an
hour slow, a Upper which
wouldn't work, the unexpected
arrival of Great-Uncle Zeb for
a visis, mix-up in identities, and
the polished cattiness of a brace
of her guests"
Playwright, Mrs. Summerrow,
who wrote the play in collabora-
ton with Mrs. Frank Young and
Mrs. Hoyt Cunningham, is a
member and patron of the North
Carolina Poetry society and a
member of the Charlotte Writer'S
club.
Her verses have appeared in
numerous anthologies, maga-
zines, and newspapers. She is
author of a book of verse "No
Summer Beckoning" which will
be published in the near future.
Both former Wilmingtonian,
Mrs. Summerrow and her
daughter Dottie were members
of the cast of Zone For the
Book"
Mrs. J. D. Edwards, mother
of the authoress, spent the
weekend in Gastonia, going up
for the presentation of the play
Friday night. On Saturday Mrs.
Summerrow entertained at a
family luncheon honoring Mrs.
Edwards, and young Nancy

their joint birthday.
