Prevention Of tuberculosis ano
eeod health habits in eating. waste
disposal ari housing, were de-
scribed as basic questions in Alaska
health. in a discussion at the an
nual convention of the Alaska Ma
tive Brotherhood which ended here
today. The discussion was led by
Dr. Duncan Chalmers, Director of
the tuberculosis Control and Act
ing Commissioner Of Health, and
Amos j. Alter, Director Of Public
Health Engineering.
DR.. Chalmers said that tubercu-
losis. the chief health problem in
Alaska, is equally dangerous TO all
National groups. There is no such
thing as inherited resistance to the
disease; good health practices and
good housing are the factors which
prevent the spread of tuberculosis.
Among measures being undertaken
to conlol the disease are X-ray sur
veys to find where tuberculosis is
most prevalent and education con-
corning prevention and cure
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1948-11-22

Each Community, DR.. Chalmers
emphasized, has the responsibility
for tuberculosis prevention in its
area.
Mr.. Alter spoke of four tasic fac
tors in living: food. water, waste
disposal and housing. Food and
water must be pure and clean, he
said. we must be informed as to
how to keep it free from germs. :
Proper waste disposal methods must
bs understood and carried out.
Housing must be adequate and
have proper heating, lighting and

II Happens Again

During the war, il was our hope as
Americans participating in the crusade to
rid the world of tOtalitarianism, that when
Nazi Germany was brought to its knees
that we could abolish war from the face OF
the earth.
Today, in the light of what Is taking
place in CZechoSlOvakia, we know that
war can happen again and that the posi-
ton of tOtalitarianism is stronger now
than ii was before World War ii.
From behind the iron curtain which
has now been drawn before CzechOslO-
vakia, the news which filters through not
only proves that what has happened be-
fore is now happening again and that time
is running short.
1t would be the height of folly to sup
pose that the tide which has been sweep
ing Europe since the close of the war can
be stopped merely by food and other
American help which all of us hope will
be provided by Congress under the Mar
shall Plan. Nevertheless a full stomach
and greater measure of security can do
vast amount of good in stemming the tide.
There can be but one way to stop COM
munism and that is by proving that demOc-
racy, that is, real democracy, works better
and provides greater opportunities for ma
terial and spiritual values.
If there was any doubt about the real
designs of the Soviet before CzechOSiO-
vakia, there should be none now. The thin
mask of the Russian government has been
boldly removed and there no longer can be
any question about its ultimate objective.

Nothing should be of greater Importance
to the adults of any community than the well
fare of the communitys children
1t was this thought which caused us to
establish the Local IL Children's 9Summer
Camp last year for the purpose of providing
youngsters with an opportunity for supervised
vacations and aiding them in learning how to
live with each other.
Although the camp was terrific expense,
including its purchase the building of cabins
and equipping the project with everything
necessary, we were amply repaid in the
praises of the children and their parents.
At the urging of our friends both in and
out of the union who were interested in the
type of work which we did at the camp we
decided to enlarge it in order to provide many
more boys and girls with the opportunity the
camp gives,
To do this requires large sum of money
which / am certain we will be able to raise
from our Units, other Local unions, civic
minded people, business leaders and others
who recognize the necessity of providing a
healthful and sound program for the children
of the community.
SEEK 100000
MeHDerS OF the camps bOard OF lover
nor's have set the camps financial goal at
100000 which at first glance may seem like
lot of money, but which is urgently required
to do the job that must be done to give ad-
ditional children the chance to enjoy a real
summer vacation which they will never forget.
l want to appeal now to everyone who
is in sympathy with the thing the union is
trying to do for the children of the community
TO give us their financial support. Anything
you can give from 81 up it will be greatly
appreciated and help us in making a success
of this worthy work. 4
We are waiting for break in the weather
to begin erection of additional cabins and
other work required to enlarge the camps
facilities 1t is the expansion program which
makes it necessary for us to obtain all the
help we can possibly get.
I feel certain that most people feel as
do, that this is a work which will pay divi-
dendS in the future and help thousands of
youngsters to become the kind of citizens
which we must have if this nation is to con-
tinue as world leader. If you feel that way,
won't you please help us to help the children.

Today Not Tomorrow


Every motOrist who drives in the down.
town district, particularly during ruSn
hours. will be interested in the proposal
and plans for downtown subway Tor
pubhc transportation traffic made by
Vice Mayor Tom Burke to City COunch
this week.
Despite the fact that Mayor Michael
Disable dismissed the idea as long range
Manning" a statement with which we
cannot completely agree, it is becoming IN
creasingIy apparent that traffic conditions
downtown are going to get progressively
worse as more and more traffic snarls up
our narrow streets.
Eventually, something is going to be
done about traffic and parking conditions,
or Toledo will find itself face to face with
situation where downtown business VIII
decentralize itself and go into the outlying
sections where traffic and parking present
no obstacles to the free flow OF business.
Vice Mayor Burke's proposal, while 1t
NAV be long-range planning, is very defl-
niteIy a proposal which is of immediate
importance because it goes to the heart of
a serious municipal problem which has
not been solved by any of the make shift
remedies so far applied.
While we recognize that the estimated
cost of the entire system outlined in the
Burke plan is extremely high, ii is doubt
full if there would be any saving In at
tempting to continue, as we have been
doing, in attempting to use every eXpe-
dent from restricted parking to one way
streets in a fruitlesS endeavOr to stem
the tide of increasing traffic.
Neither will anything be saved If, as
the situation grows worse, downtown
stores move into the outlying districts
where they can have ample parking ia
cilities for their customers.
While il appears that the Burke plan
will not be given serious consideration at
this time il does not lessen the fact that
ToIedo's downtown district, instead of at
tracing people who want to do business,
has become a painful duty to many To-
ledoans who go down town because they
are forced to do so and not because they
want TO.
If the Vice Mayors plan doesn't do any
thing else, ii points up the downtown trat-
fic and parking problem and warns City
Council downtown business people and
the public-at-large that the situation must
be eventually solved by the city, or its So
luton will be undertaken by independent
action Of the merchants and others affected
by crowded traffic conditions.
We believe that the Burke plan has
some merit and that the Vive Mayor
showed enlightened awareness of one of
TOledos greaest problems. If it is long
range planning project, and Mayor Di-
Sale may be partially correct in this state
ment, il still is project which should be
given immediate attention and studied by
everyone efore whom it should properly
come.
We do not believe that the proposed
subway plan or any other sensible plan
should be lightly dismissed or allowed to
gather dust when the downtown traffic
situation seems to grow worse with every
passing week.

In The Wind
By LES FINNEGAN GPA)

The story from Newcastle New South !,
Wales, about $50 coal miners walking out on
strike because their mine mule developed an
unbearable case of halitosis was evidence that
1948 will be year in which labor will take
less and less nonsense from employers. The
Newcastle walkout was settled when the mine
owners agreed to mix fragrant musk with the
mules oats, but that was only the first whiff
to show how the wind was blowing.

It's Time
To Build
by Ben Dor
LPA Columnist

The Wallace bandwagon is
rolling Most of i is drive
comes from the Communists,
but lot of others are hitched
to it too.
OF course, it won't "win,"
but it will have a lot of sue
cess. And whatever success
it has will be because we, who
are against what Wallace is
doing, worked so hard to
teach people what he is say
ing.
It's contradiction, isn't
it? We did a lot to teach
Americans what liberalism
means, so Wallace has his
chance today. But if we had
done a real job of understand
ing and teaching liberalism,
he wouldn't have any chance
at all.
Let's look first at the lib
eralism in the Wallace line.
THE LINE"
He talks against war, and
he seems to mean it a lot
more than the other guys who
are making political head
lines today.
Wallace talks about inter-
national cooperation, with
every country - including
Russia, in one big parliament
of man. A good, liberal-sound-
ing line.
Wallace was once RooSe-
velt's right-hand man and he
tries to make the same
speeches today that The Boss
Roosevelt made in the days
when New Dealism was
young.
Wallace gets his biggest
support from the Communists.
1t used to be that only a real
liberal would dare defend
Communists. Now we have
to explain that Russia, the
mother of the workers revo-
luton, has turned out wrong;
that the revolution itself has
gone sour. Between the Mar
shall Plan and the Stain Plan
we've got to line up with
Marshall because that's the
only way that a democratic
Europe can survive. That's
one thing we've got to ex-
plain.
Take the business of the
two old parties. We've always
said that we had to have a
new party. Now Wallace has
given us one. We talked so
much about organizing a real
party of the people, but we
ourselves never got past the
talking point. And since he
did it and we did not. that's
hard to talk away, too.
Let the boys with the Gal
lup polls and the crystal balls
try to guess how many votes
Wallace will get. There is a
more important question
which should be of concern.
That one is-are we going to
stop being content with half
liberalism and begin build
ing the real thing, full time?
There will be 1,579,000
more women than men eligi-
bic to vote this year, accord
ing to the Census Bureau.
Women aren't supposed to be
grateful, but this year it's al
most a certainty they'll bite
the hand that fed them that
NAM baloney about food pri-
ces coming down.
