solve one of the health problems
of radioactive contamination, the
American Chemical Society was
recently informed.
A thick paint-like substance
known commercially as Prufcoat,

cording to DR.. A. C. Jealous a
chemical engineer. The new plas-
tic can be peeled off when it be-
comes radioactive and can be re-
placed with new layers.
Three coats of the paint are
used, the doctor said. Then an adj
ditional coating of a rubbery SUBJ
stance called cocoon is sprayed on
for the finish. It is rather expen-

Secret Wartime Research
Aids Fight for More Food

WASH.-How the results of a
secret wartime research pro-
ject were converted to the
high-priority peacetime work
of conserving and increasing
world food supplies has been
disclosed here by the United
Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization.
Early in 1912, FAC revealed
in an 80-page book called
"Rinderpest Vaccines', scien-
lists from Canada and the
United States took over an
isolated island in the St. Law
renee River for research on
the virus of rinderpest, a cat
tie disease which takes the
lives of some 1000, 900 farm
animals every year in Africa,
Asia and the Far East. At that
time, both the United States
and Canadian governments
feared that Germany might
launch biological warfare with
rinderpest virus to decimate
the herds of North America
and were seeking ways to
check such an attack.
On their island from where
there was little danger that
the highly contagious disease
could spread, the scientists,
who already knew of a slow
reproduced vaccine, explored
methods of speeding up pro-
duction. They discovered that,
by growing the virus inside of
hens eggs, speedy mass pro-
duction of vaccines would be
made possible.
FAC officials say that as a
result Of mass production of
rinderpest vaccine, meat for

PARK NEEDS
PUBLIC FACILITIES

pest natural Deacn-pdrK re-
sorts on the Island, is now
about the only place that ma
tives can go to enjoy the out
door pleasures of bathing or a
picnic near the sea. This fact
was evident during the Easter
holidays when over three hun
dred men, women and children
filled the area. No doubt many
of them would have gone to
other beaches but for the fact,
that most of them are now the
private property, for the most
part, of continentals who just
grabbed a piece of tropical
heaven" out of what to them
is a Utopia"
The park, which is only par
tally cleared, is less than 40
square acres and, of course, it!
will have to accommodate our
native population of some, 400
and those continentals who
have not been able to hookupi
with one of their brethrenI
who owns a private section of
Caribbean water, or those that
naturally like Cramer's Park.
It has been the custom here
to use the privacy of the BUSH
eS to change ones clothing,
since the amount of persons on
the beach at one time never
caused any embarrassing situa-
tons. But now that a little less
than half of the Islands popu-'
lation will be, concentrated in
one area on holidays such as
Easter, the need for improved
and more public facilities is!
urgent.
We have learned that a sum
has been requested for the i'm
provement of parks and play
grounds on this Island and
that within this amount a mo-I
dest portion has been earmark-
ed for Cramer's Park. 1t is my;
belief that many officials, de-
partment heads and, probably
a few councilmen may smile
at any amount requested but It'll
is hoped that before trimming !
the amount-whatever it is
to barely provide for a few CO.
conut-frond bath houses, it
will be given the necessary

KIWAN!5 CLUB
 GETS SET FOR
 ELECTION NOV. 3

Stanley Baskin, who, Gas Vice President), became President of the Juneau Kiwanis Club just after last weeks meeting (when James Me Clellan left the city), presided to- day for the first time in that of- flee.
 One of the most important mat ters of business was the report of the nominating committee present. ed by Gene Vuille, who emphasized that, according to the club custom, the committee receives nominations, but does not prepare a slate of it's own.
 Kiwanians are urged to make their nominations to someone on this committee-Chairman Vuille Fob Shellenbarger, John Montgom- cry, John w. Griffin and Ed Shaf- fer-sefore next weeks meeting. The annual election is set for Nov- smber g.
 After further club business at the weekly luncheon session in the Baranof Gold Room, Kiwanians saw motion picture produced by the Commercial Fisheries Division of the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service.
 Steps were shown in the catching, filleting and packing of sole, from the time the fish are caught by otter trawler, through the convey or and aSsembly-line filleting pro- cess, and the quick-freeze at 30 degrees below zero, to selection of a package by a shopper.
 Most interesting sequence was of the skilled filleting, which a facile operator can do at the rate of 90 pounds an hour. John Griffin op- erated the projector.
 Fred Dunn introduced the only guest at todays meeting-John Doolin, his Departmental Assistant at Pan American Airways.
 Dr. H. c. Harris of the Alaska Ma tive Service staff was welcomed back after an extended trip-"the best vacation in my life"-on which Q months tour of Alaska preceded 60 days which took him every where" in the United States.
