PETE" THE PIG HAS GOTH
BIRTHDAY

Perhaps the most historic pig in
American history was "Pete" whose
Seth birthday is to be celebrated
this month. "Pete" was owned in
1918 by a ten-year-old Kansas boy
who sold him and gave the pro-
ceeds to the American Mission to
Lepers to help a ten-year-old VIC
tim of the disease in Siam.
The story was told by the Mis-
sion O56 Fifth Ave-, New York
City,, and more than 100000 cast
iron, wooden, clay and plastic re-
productions of pete" have been
made through the years as coin
collectors used, chiefly in churches,
to assist leprosy work. 1t is report

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
OF CHILDREN'S CHRONIC ILLS

A limited program aimed at the
diagnosis and treatment of chronic
diseases of children and the con-
troll of rheumatic fever will begin
soon according to DR.. c. Earl Al
brecht, commissioner of health. He
said that although the amount of
rheumatic fever in the Territory is
unknown, more than a million per-
sons, young and old, in the states
are affected by rheumatic fever and
rheumatic heart disease.
AS the only effective treatment
for rheumatic fever is a long rest
in bed, children referred in by pri-
vate physicians and public health
nurses will be sent to a diagnostic
center. Probable location of this
facility will be at Juneau.
DR.. Virginia M. Cobb, newly ar
rived pediatric consultant, will be
in charge of the program. A gradu-
ate of Columbia University School
of Medicine, DR.. Cobb has practiced
pediatrics in Arizona and California
for number of years. She is certi-
fled by the American Board of
Pediatrics and is also a Fellow of
American Academy of Pediatrics.

out that although precautions have
to be observed by pulp mills using
the sulphite process, all waste may
be utilized in a new-type pulp pro-
cess with no resulting danger.
AS the water pollution act covers
all water of the Territory, the board
now has to determine standards of
water purity. Authorities will be ap-
pointed as members of an advisory
committee to determine these STAN
dards. The, advisory committee will
be representative of the govern
mental agencies and private indus
tries of Alaska. Plans for the con-
struction, extension, installation or
operation of any Territorial sewage
system or treatment works now re-
quire approval by the board.

limited to the larger areas.
Among the larger growing
shrubs and trees that thrive in a
dry situation. the jumpers should
be mentioned first although they
are evergreens. The Virginia cedar
falls within this group. 1t gets
barelegged with age and so Is not
as useful. Meyers juniper tunder
6 feet is attractive and does fairly
well in a clay soil. The Cannart
red cedar Is an improved Virginia
cedar that grows TO 1920 feet
