Farmers For Alaska

The Bureau Of Land Management,
which functions under the Interior De-
partment, estimates in a report just
completed, that Alaska can accommo-
date $40 new farm families who would
have reasonable expectations" of max
ing fair or possibly good l%ivelihoods.
This, of course, does not suggest a
major colonization project, but the re-
port emphasizes that the agricultural
situation in Alaska is not materially
different to what it was before the war
Admittedly" the report states.
$40 additional farm families does not
appear to begin to meet Alaska's agri.
cultural potential when compared tt
the vastness of the Territory Of esti-
mates of future population.
However, this number is not in
significant when measured against
present farm population and the LAND
now in farms. There are now in Alaska
something less than $50 farms, Of
which possibly one fourth are ful
farms"

Nurses Week

Public Health Nurses Week, sched-
uled for April % through May 2, will
be observed in Wilmington with daily
programs at the Health Center on
North Fourth street. The event deserves
wide patronage as it will afford the
public generally, as we'll as professional
and official groups a splendid oppor-
tunity to learn what this organization
of nurses il doing in behalf of commun-
ity health.
This year is the thirty-third ami
versary of public health nursing in this
county. 1t will be to everybody's. advan-
tage to see the advancement in the
county since the service was instituted
in 1904.
While the daily programs are ar
ranged for special groups, the public
will not be excluded at any time.

InjunctiOns Issued to EniOin

The Associated Press reports that
the manager of the Jacksonville, Flori.
da, telephone office was manhandled
by striking pickets. 1t further reports
coercion of telephone workers at Fern
andina, and the cutting of some six
hundred telephone wires in Miami.
On the strength of these law viola
tons the telephone company sued out
an injunction to restrain pickets. Not
withstanding the injunction, strikers
continued their picketing, with result
that their arrest was ordered and the
sheriff promptly obeyed the order, TAX
ing in twenty pickets.
Spokesmer for. the strikers a S
promptly declared the strikers would
continue picketing as long as their
members "held out" at the same time
denying that any violence had been
practiced.
These conditions cannot smooth the
way to a settlement of the phone strike.
The unions involved are not helping
their cause by defying the court.
They will have to learn, as John l..
Lewis had to learn, that the Injunction

dlsastrously-upon those who do not

is now open for new and better drugs
to cure the disease"
Like the sulfa group and penicillin,
this miracle drug, despite it's limita-
tons, has accomplished something of
great worth. Medical science, which is
credited with discovering all three, will
yet develop it sufficiently to end the
curse of tuberculosis.
Until that day comes, however, it
behooves all families to take precau-
tons against it's attack upon any men,

the rest and isolation which are so
for those already it's victims,

THE PANAMA CANAL
Q) How 1t Was Started

EDITORS NOTE: A Con-
gressional committee is now study
ing various plans for enlarging
and improving the Panama Canal.
An earlier project, begun in 1910,
had to be abandoned during the
war;.
Ever since explorers found that
only a few miles of land sep
arated the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans between North and South
America, men had spoken of join
ing these two oceans by diggins
a canal. But no real attempt
was made until the year 1878,
when a French company secured
from the Republic of Colombia
the right to dig a canal through
the Isthmus of Panama. At the
head of the company was Fer
dinan de Lesseps, who had sue
ceeded in separating Africa tom
Asia by means of the Suez Canal
It was found, however, hat the
two pieces of work could not be
compared. The Suez Canal is
only a great ditca through the
land or through shallow lakes
While the weather is not, the
climate is not particularly UNI
healthy for Europeans, and work
men could be secured from the
neighboring peoples.

there is obviously an excellent chance
for an increase in Alaska's farm popu-
lation. There is, Of course, the need
that any families which emigrate to
the Territory must be accustomed to
extremely cold winters and short crop
seasons. United States farmers; save
those living along the Canadian border
where they are used to severe winters,
would not readily adapt themselves to
this climatic situation.
But there are farmers elsewhere in
the world who would find the year.
round Alaskan weather entirely to their
liking. Firms, for example, live under
similar conditions in their homeland.
Furthermore they are not only good
farmers but on the whole good citizens,
As the life in Finland is not partic-
ularly agreeable, with the Russians
harassing their days, it would not be
amiss, as the Star has previously point
ed out, to invite a carefully selected
group to settle in Alaska.
The invitation need not be limited to
farmers. Films are also capable woods
men, and Alaska still has thousands
upon thousands Of square miles cover
ed with virgin timber.

Not Cure-All

Because of our innate optimism we
invariably lock upon a new medicine
(the word is not quite accurate but
serves the present purpose well enough)
as a cure-sll. 1t vas so with sulfa. More
recently it was so with penicillin. To
q large extent it has also been so of
streptomicin. Ali have life-saving prop
critics. Humanity is far better off than
before any of them was discovered.
But lone of the three is a cure-all.
For example, sulfa will cure certain
types of pneumonia, but not all. By
the same token penicillin is effective
in certain forms and frequently cures
where sulfa has failed.
Streptomicin, used in treating tuber-
c%ulosis, has not cured patients under
care Of the Veterans Administration,
but in many cases the disease has not
made the same progress as before the
drug was administered. This is the word
of DR.. Paul A. Bum, addressing two
hundred physicians and welfare work
ers at a luncheon. The occasion was the
annual Brooklyn tuberculosis and
Health Association meeting.
"Streptomicin," he said, "has not
cured any of the cases of pulmonary
tuberculosis treated by the VA, al
though x-rays Of the approximately
70 per cent of the treated cases did
show Improvement"
But he added that its chief value
n that it shows tuberculosis can be
cured by drug therapy. ut is the first
aren't to show it can be done. The dool

Moreover, it used to be unhe althy,

work died. Mountains had TO be
dug through. At first it had been
announced that $127, 900, 900 would
be sufficient; then the larger sum
of $3.50, 600, 900 was called for, and
finally it was seer that this lat
ter sum would not begin to see
the canal completed.
Though De Lesseps' plans were
good, some bad men got control
of the company, much money was
stolen and the company was
thrown into debt. Finally De Les
seps was arrested, though he him
self had not been guilty of dis
honesty. The French people would

An Important Meeting

Among conventions and special
meetings S c h e d d to be held at
Wrightsville during the coming summer
the gathering of North Carolina physi-
clans on August % engages particular
attention.
1t is not only that the New Hanover
County Medical Society is to be host
to the states physicians and surgeons,
important as this fact is in the Society's
history. Nor is it that distinguished
members of the profession, tops in
their specialities, are to speak, impor-
tant also as this will be.
The feature that stands out with
equal prominence is that North Caro-
lima medicos are to assemble in Wrights-
vile and in many cases form their first
impression of the resort.
This visit can be productive of last
ing benefit to Wrightsville and Will
mingtoh.
~ pClCSIlIdSC VI >OIlu CdI Ol1Ild
medical men annually spend their vaca-
lions at Virginia Beach and Myrtle
Beach. Without disrespect to either,
Wrightsville is equally enjoyable. The
more it is exploited, as the forthcom-
ing session can do, the more members
of the profession will not only come
back themselves in other years but by
sounding its praises among friends
and patients, increase the resorts pa
tronage.
1t is frankly conceded by doctors that
where they go for recreation and rest
their patients go also.
It is anticipated that fully four hun
dred doctors will be guests of the New
Hanover Society. 1t is not to be doubted,
in light of the entertainment program
to be provided for the visitors, includ-
ing a deep-sea fishing trip, that many
will become fast friends of Wrights-
vile.
Their coming car we'll prove among
the greatest potentials of the resort.

TENSION AND RUSH
TO MIND
Nv WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, MD.

By WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, MD.
People around you have the
same problems you have in trying
to secure personal satisfaction and
economic security. Your success
in life depends on how well you
are able to get along with your
self and how happy you are in
association with others.
Katharine B. Crisp in her book,
Health For You." points out how
difficult it is today for the aver
age person to take proper care OF
himself. Health is further inter-
fered with by mental tension and
fatigue resulting from rush and
hurry.
Perplexities Of modern living
are here to stay, and while civil
cation has contributed much to
our physical comfort, it has great
ly complicated our social adjust
ment. Everyone makes demands
On his nervous energy that he
would not have made if he had
been born a generation ago.
Those who avoid being tense
succeed to a large degree in ad.
iusting themselves to the complex
world in which we live. Many
ways of relaxing tension are
known. Alternate periods OF work
and rest help one person while
another needs a complete rest.
Mary relax by a change in what
they are doing. Some people
spend so much time and effort in
trying to escape from their ten
sions that they create new ten
sions.
When you dislike your job you

but you also reduce your skill.

and Mrs. Lewis M. Jaeger of New

Mrs. Jaeger had a very good
record right through the Eastern

pairs and seventh in the open

The keenness of her play sis

realized that she had to get in
three heart tricks to make her con-

If Mrs. Jaeger had just dropped
the four of hearts on this trick,
she would have lost the contract.
But she decided, when East played
the ace of hearts, that he held
either the blank ace or the blank
ace-jack. If it were the blank ace,
she knew she could not make
three heart tricks. In case East
had held the ace-jack, she was not
going to lose her chance for the
contract by carelessness, so she
kept the four of hearts and played
the ten.
East returned a diamond which
dummy won, the seven of hearts
was led and East's jack went to
Mrs. Jaeger's king. Now she could
