BEGIN WORK CANVAsSING
 FOR MASS FREE X-RAYS

CauVasaers started work this week in lining up residents to take advantage of the free mass X-ray program to be put on in Wran- gell by Public Health officials the latter part of this month. Good re- spOnse is reported thus far. In sim liar campaigns put on, Ketchikan termed oct 97 per cent and Cor dova loo per cent, which means that in COrdova every person in the town received a chest X-ray.
 Findings in your chest X-ray will be strictly confidential, treat ed as guardedly as a consulta ton with your own physician. But you Will be warned of any infection IT disturbance of lungs or heart. Its just good insurance to have check-up now and then" as one party put it. Ordinarily a chest plate would cost S10 and now they are being offered free.
 Tuberculosis is not inherited medical authorities tell us, but is| caused by a germ spread from per son to person. They also stress that it is no respectOr of persons Young or old, rich or poor can bel early victims of the disease = and not aware of the fact that they are infected unless an X-ray tellsI them so. In its early stages tuber culosis can be arrested and the person can go on earning his liVlngI But if allowed to go on, neglected in an active condition, cure, if not too late to cure, becomes a natter of months in a sanitorium with loss of work and mocnting expense.
 With the modern equipment to be used here. the taking of an K ray is only a matter of secoods. The small films on the machines do not provide the basis for a com plete diagnosis but they serve to screen out all suspicious cases. The results of the X-ray are confiden tial. The individual will receive a notice stating whether his lungs are all right or whether he should have a more complete examination.
 Details on start of the program here will be given at later date.

POPPY DAY TO BE
 OBSERVED ON MAY 24th

May 24th will be Poppy Day in WrangeI and throughout the Un- iLed States, Mrs R. H. Armstrong, President of Wrangell Unit Of the American Legion Auxiliary an nounced today
 On that day everyone will be asked to wear a memorial poppy in honor of the dead of the two world wars and to make a eontri- button for the welfare of the dis abled veterans their families and the families of the dead.
 Volunteers from the Auxiliary and young women's groups of the town will distribute the flowers on the streets throughout the day. Mrs. George smith, Poppy Chair man of the Auxiliary, will be in general charge. Plans are being made to cover the town completely so tbat everyone will have an op- portunity to help the war dead and aid the living victims of the two conflicts.
 The Saturday before Memorial Day has been observed as POppy Day in all parts of the country for many years," said Mrs. Smith, in announcing the date of this year observance. Topples have been worn in memory of the war dead ever since the close of World War l. They are replicas of the wild flowers which grew on the battle field of France and Belgium fought over in both wars, but they have come to symholize memory fer those who died in any part of the world.
 The peoples which the Auxil- iary will distribute are all hand made, shaped from crepe paper by disabled veterans working in hos pitals and convalescent workshops throughout the country. The dis abled men take special pride in making the flowers to honor their fallen comrades and the work is valcable to them as occcpational therapy, besides bringing them much needed earnings."

EDITORIAL

Thursday is Special Election day in Wrangell. It is needless to point out here the need for an ad- dition to Wrangells school. It is presumed that that is a well known quantity by now. The ob- jeet at present is to urge that all who are eligible turn out at the polls.
 Under the law, only those whose names appear on the tax roll are eligible to vote. This will eliminate many votes of those who undoubtedly would be in favor of the addition, so it makes it all the more urgent that others, who are eligible, exercise their franchise.
 Commissioner of Education James c. Ryan who was in Wrangell this week spoke of the crowded condi- tion at Wrangells school. He said: "0f course it is up to the people ot Wrangell to decide, but there is no doubt that added facilities are badly needed" He was speaking fer the good of the children Of Wrangell. An addition to WraD- gell's school could not benefit the Commissioner of Education per sonally, but as an educator he has a deep interest in the educational welfare of every child in the Ter ritory.

outlying area n the Anchorage school district. Because of crowd cd conditions up there, more than 400 children in this outlying dis trict have been refused admittance to the city schools for lack of room. That, if crowded conditions are not remedied here, is what will be in store for children living outside of the Town of Wrangell If conditions are not improved Wrangells schools will not hold all the pupils and those living out the road will simply have to be turned away. It happened in An chorage - it can happen here.
 There seems to be an erroneous idea afloat that an addition to the school would raise taxes in the town. This is not so. Wrangell now is taxed to the limit the law al- lows. Taxes CANNOT be raised Payment on the bonds will come from the present revenues of Wrangell and future revenues as the town expands. It will up to the Town Council to allow for pay ment in the budget. YOUR TAXES CANNOT BE RAISED one penny.
 So this week when you go to the city hall to register. check the tax roll. See that your name is on it as a tax-paying resident. Then register and next Thursday go 10 the polls and cast your bollot FOR new addition to Wrangell's school.

 Wrangell and Anchorage will be holding elections next week to de- eide on their respective school problems. Anchorage votes on Tuesday. Wrangell on Thursday. Their problems are similar in that both are suffering from growing pains. Outside the incorporated limits Of Anchorage are some 450 children of school age who have no school facilities because there is no money for building Territor- Jal schools this year. AnchorGge's city facilities are bursting at the seams; they can't handle the child ren in town. let alone those on the outside Their election will determine whether they will en- large their school district to In- clude the outside area
 Wrangell has an equally press ing situation. Beginning to feel the reaction of boom town condi- tions such as Anchorage has felt since 1941, Wrangell must add to its facilities to keep abreast of It's growing population. New families coming to Alaska with children Of school age just will not stay un- ess they can give their children adequate schooling The town tna, will get them will be those pro- gressiye enough to realize tna, education must keep up with coin
