STEAMSHIP
ANNOUNCES WINTER
FREIGhTER SCHEDULE

The Alaska Steamship Company
this week announced the Inaugural
ton OF new fall and winter
Southeastern Alaska freight servIos
with sallings every second Frld~y
beginning september 8.
The steamer Victoria will be en-
pIoyed on this run, calling at
heLcnlkan, Wrangel, petersburg
juneau and Sitka each voyage. The
additional port Oh FeIican will be
Inaue on alternate voyages begin,
ming September 70, and the porus
"a IIaInes and okagway on alter
nate voyages beginning October l.
This service is in addition to
The regular passenger Sailings
and frequent non scheduled
1relghter saillngs and has been
instituted IN order to more ade-
e---'-'v meet the needs of the
expanding traffic of the South
eastern Alaska area" Adm. F. A.
IeuSler, executive assistant to
the president OF the Alaska Line,
said.
NEW FARES
Inc company also announced
special reduced passenger fares on
round trips from Alaska to Seattle
and return for the fall, winter and
spring seasons. On the average,
the new fares are 20 per cent be-
low former transportation costs.
The new tariff will be effective
October 10 through April l ana
will permit passengers a maximum
of 120 days from date of embar-
kation southbound in which to
commence return trip, final date
tor which is May Is.
1.-THE Alaska Line is inaugural
ing these reduced fares as a spe-
cial service to Alaskans in antici-
patton OF increasing steamer travel
outside of the regular tourist sea-
son." Zeusler explained
In addition to the lower fares, .
he pointed out. passengers may
now plan to take their cars along
on steamer trips at greatly reduced
rates under a new baggage tariff
also being filed with the Maritime
Commission. That will reflect an
average saving of approximately &c
per cent on the former shipping
costs on passengers automobiles
and will apply both north and
lsouthbound."
This tariff likewise becomes eff
fective October 10, but is not lin.
| tied as to duration.

portion of their returns is an in
ducement for larger Seal Sales.
This latter result has been a COM
mon experience.
In order to keep administration
overhead to a minimum, the Alas
ka tuberculosis Association ha
made a practice of using the faeil-
tiles of the organized medical
agencies of the Territory whenever
possible. In 194S-49, the sum of
S6,399.42 was disbursed through
the Alaska Native Service to help
round out their medical and thera-
peutic programs at their various
hospitals in the Territory, the
greater portion of this amount go
ing to Mt. Edgecumbe Medical
Center. In the same period the sum
of S7,796.61 was sent to Seward
Sanatorium. partly through the
Alaska Department of Health, for
the same purposes. The sum of
$1,359.83 was donated to the
smaller private hospitals in the
territory for similar purposes.
The amounts that have been ex-
pended by the local committees
through their local health centeIs
or Alaska Native Services have not
been compiled, but doubtless con-
stitute the greater portion of
$4,249.55, which was expended
last year under local supervision.
The group of men and women
scattered over Alaska who volun-
tarily assume the burden of or
ganizing and carrying out the
Christmas Seal Sales are the I'M
sung heroes and heroines of the
movement They are the ones who
give the hours of time do the bur-
densome work and bear the criti-
cism which inevitably follows any
money solicitation from the public.
The activities which result from
their labors can only be limited at
in an Annual Report in cold type.
These volunteer workers may com
fort themselves somewhat when
they reflect that the lives of five
million persons have been saved
who would have died of tubercu-
losis if the deaths from this dis
ease had continued at the same
rate as in the year that the Ma
tional Tuberculosis Association was
organized.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1949-09-02

Just by way of introduction, we
want to express our appreciation
for the pleasant manner in which
the people of Wrangell have gone
out of their way to make things
pleasant for this newcomer and his
family.
We have heard many times of
the friendliness of the town of
Wrangell and we really believed
it even before we came here. It's
nice to make the acquaintance of
a community of Alaskans such as
live here.
After having published another
Alaskan newspaper for the past
year, we feel we are becoming ac-
quainted with territorial problems
and issues, especially insofar as
they effect the Southeastern por-
ton. 1t will therefore this writer's
aim to promote and sponsor any
and all matters which we deem to
be in the best interest of Southeast
ern Alaska in general and Wran-
CELL in particular. We hope we will
be able to carry on along this line
with the same competency of our
predecessors.

Annual tuberculosis Report
Now Being Distributed

The annual report of the Alaska
tuberculosis Association is being
put into the mails this week and
it is hoped by the Board of Direo-
tors that it will be widely read
and considered. especially by thos
who have been enough interested
in the problem of control of tn
bereulosis in the territory to invest
$500 or more at Christmas Sea
Sale time The report was prepared
by the new executive secretary
Mrs. Frances L. Paul, from notes
which had been assembled by her
predecessor, Mrs. Bess Winn, be
fore her death.
The report contains an itemizej
account of receipts, town by town
from the Christmas Seal Sale Of
1913. 1t also contains a finaneia
statement showing the expenditur
of those funds, the Seal Sale being
the only source of revenue for the
Alta.
For purposes of reporting, the dis
bursements were classified as
Health Education, $3391.82, or Re
Mobilization, $S376.69, and so on
These sums can be broken down
into items which reveal to the pub
lie a clearer picture of the types
of service rendered by the Alta.
Salaries for occupationaI therapist

COMMUNITIES MAY BENEFIT
Any community in Alaska may
now retain 20 per cent of its gross
Seal Sale funds for local use if it
is willing to organize a committee
or affiliated association and sign
an agreement with the Alaska Tu-
berculosis Association. The work is
carried on under definite rules for
expenditure which years of expe-
rience have taught the National
Association to be the most profit
able ways of handling the funds
of a voluntary agency. Some COM
munities feel that their returns are
so small that effective use cannot
be made locally of their 20 per
cent share and accordingly contrib
ute their entire Seal Sale receipts
to the general fund whereby larger
projects can be set up which are
of benefit to all sections of the tel.
