Akron Soap Box Derby Called
One of Youths Greatest Events

Late this summer, more than
$4,000 spectators will watch 100 boys
in an equal number of sleek, gravi-
Empowered coasters compete for a
list of prizes topped by four-year
college scholarship.
This annual running of the ALL

Ohio, on August Is this year, is one
of the greatest events for the youth
of the Nation.
Yet the colorful event originated
mere Is years ago, when news

by a boy riding downhill in a rick

rolled precariously on its woboly
wheels.

in scope the following year. Since
that time, derbies have been held
yearly, except during World War
II. And each successive one mas
been bigger in attendance, in par

carried to some part of the body, such as the liver or lungs, where the larvae form hydatid cyst. Sometimes these cysts burst and multiple cysts are formed which usually give rise to grave con- sequences.
 Control Measures
 Since dogs acquire the infest- ation by eating the viscera and carcasses of sheep. moose, goats, caribou, ana reindeer infected with the larval stages or the hydatid cyst, the best method of control is to prevent infestation of the dog. All contaminated animalvis- cera should be burned to prevent dogs and other animals from feed ing upon it.
 Infested dogs should be destroyed or cured by anthelmintics. The number of dogs may be reduced in endemic areas by imposing tax es on all dogs. (This would also help with the rabies problem.}
 Throughout Alaska many people live in environmental situations having questionable sanitary con- ditions: this together with sub standards of personal hygiene play important roles in echino- coccosis. All Alaskan berries which are used frequently should be washed as they might bet con taminated with the feceS of a dog. Drinking water especially when taken from lakes or rivers may likewise be contaminated with the feces of a dog and should be boiled before using.
 How widespread this disease is ill the dogs. wolves, caribou, and moose of Alaska is not known at this time. The caribou being a highly migratory mammal may in Gicate that this disease is endemic throughout most of the Interior. Hunters can be of great assistance if they will report the presence of cysts in any game mammals they kill.
 The prognosis in echinococcosis is always grave, and spontaneous recovery is an extreme rarity.

ECHINOCOCCOSlS or HYDATID Disease
By Frank Williams Dir Division Laboratories

The recent diagnosis of a hyda- tia cyst in an Alaskan Native focuses the attention of Alaskans upon the nature of the disease, its method of spread, and Its ser ious consequences.
 Reported Case
 The patient suffering with this disease lived on the Upper Tanana River Drainage area in Interior Alaska. The cyst was discovered during recent X-ray survey being made for the detection of tubercul- osis. The patient said that her family lived rather pr-imitively with moose and caribou meat for subsistence. During the summer berries formed large part of the family's diet They had a great many dogs with whom they lived in close association and the san- itary conditions were admittedly Sub-standard.
 Description
 Her infection was caused by the larval stage of the tapeWorm Echinococcus granulosus a small tapeworm of dogs and wolves whose 1arva, known as the hydatid. may develop in mammals forming hy- datid tumors or cysts.
 The hydatid cyst is a tumorlike enlargement of variable size which may reach even the proportions of the huma n head. It is most often found in the lungs. liver, abdomin- al cavity, or almost any other DOT tion of the body.
 The normal host of the adult 1apeworm is the dog and other Canidae, whereas sheep, coribou, reindeer, moose, and cattle are the most common larval hosts. Man becomes infected when he ac- cidently ingests the eggs from the feces of the dog with his food or drink. He may readily become in- fected through dirty hands when fondling and handling dogs in areas where the disease is endemic
 The egg once ingesteG matches m the intestines and from there enters the blood or lymph and is

NEW OLD AGE INSURANCE BILL
 PASSED BY HOUSE
Three and One Half Million Additional Persons 10
 Be Benefited

WASHINGTON, June 14. = R - The House passed by a humping 237 to 2 vote today. and sent to the Senate, bill to open the way for $500 900 additional persons to par ticipate in old age insurance.
 The legislation was presented to the House under a late session pro- cedure that required a two-thirds vote. However. it is not certain that the Senate wiii act upon it if Con- gress adjourns Saturday
 The bill is short of what Presi- dent Truman proposed. He asked Congress in a special message in May to bring 2o.00o.0oo more per- sons iIllo the Social Security pro- gram, for a total coverage of 50.000- 900 persons.
 Moreover, Mir. Truman asked that benefits be increased by at least 50 per cent and that the Social &c., curity taxes be boosted also, this is not in the bill.
 Rep. Reed (R.-N.Y). author of the legislation, said it would permit employees of State and local gov erning bodies to join in the insur- ance program, if the local govern ments give their approval.
 Employees of non-profit organi- Zations also co,lld participate if their organizations choose. These are the largest groups among the 3,500.00 employed persons that could enter the program under the new bill.
 The measure makes no attempt to bring in at this time the three large groups of workers now ex- cluded - the self employed, farm workers and household workers.

..L05 ANGELES
 CHAMBER IS
 GREETED HERE

The visiting 267 members of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce were given a hearty welcome here yesterday by the Juneau Chamber and the Juneau Junior Chamber when the Californians docked here on board the Prince George for their annual good will tour to Alaska.
 The Junior Chamber sent three small boats out in the harbor to greet the incoming vessel near the rock dump and escort them to the dock. One boat, the Governor Elisha P. Ferry had a sound system on board to play band music for the visitors.
 At the dock. the group were greet ed by two 1,500-pound pieces of ice from the Mendenhall Glacier. Above the ice was a big sign which said The Juneau Chamber of Commerce welcomes the Los Angeles Cham Der of Commerce Good Will Tour and the s. s. Prince George with a Los Angeles ice cube manufactured s,000,000 years ago by the Menden- hall Ice Company, the worlds larg- est and coldest" Many cameras were focused on both the sign and the ice.
 The official greeting committee consisted of Mayor w. E. Hendrick- son and President w. Burr Johnson and other officers of the Juneau Chamber. Most of the visitors trav- eled for first hand glimpse of the glacier and spent the day in seeing local sights.
 The Sherwood Dairy. on the Glac- fer Highway, also contributed to the high inks by tying their bull near the side of the road and painting Il. A. City Limits" sign on it.
