Air-Lanes Medics Help Fight Disease, Heal Injuries In Arctic WaSteland

madic tribe of Eskimos, then To- cated in Anaktuvuk Pass, was suffering from what he believed to be whooping cough and flu. Dr. Rabeau flew to the area, where he found most of the tribe lying ill. This experience he considers one of the highlights of his Alas kan doctoring, for the Eskimos he treated are believed to be one of the last nomadic tribes in Alaska.
 Dr. Rabeau was interested to learn that the tribe confoundS most of the theories of modern medical science by their habits of diet. The tribe lives almost exclusively on meat, eating the flesh of caribou, sheep, and ptar migan all winter long. The diet is varied somewhat in the summer, when the nomads camp by a fresh water lake to fish and to pick a few wild berries.
 Summing up his experience of the past four years in the north ern interior, Dr. Rabeau com ments that Jack London and Rex Beach never could have over dramatized the life above the Arctic Circle. Remember it is not all romance. though - there IS plenty of hard work to be, done and many a person who should be getting medical attention IS still without it. That's my job"

Former Cafe Owner Beaten 10 Death
 In Anchorage Park

Oscar Pederson, former Valdez store owner and cafe operator. met death in Anchorage last Sun day under mystery-shrouded cir cumstances. The 51 year old mans body was discovered lying in the park area near the water tower, by three Anchorage boys. He had been bludgeoned to death with a blunt instrument, later dis covered to be chunk of cement, which caused skull fractures and cerebral hemorrhage.
 Doctors said Pederson probably died almost instantly. Police feel he may have been slain some where else and brought to the spot where his body was discov- cred. A bloodstained raincoat, found to be smeared with the same blood type as Pederson's, was found almost eight blocks from where the body lay.
 MT. Pederson had not lived in Valdez for the past year. At the time of his death, he was living in reduced circumstances and was selling cookbooks for living.
 The dead mans movements have not been traced since last Thursday night, when he was known to have registered at an Anchorage hotel. At that time he apparently joined four com ponions in a prolonged drinking bout.
 MT. Pederson, who owned and operated Oscars Food Store and Cafe in Valdez for several years. was a former son-in-laW of editor Sedley of the old Valdez Miner.

Medicine by radio is the plan the Alaska Native Service has devised to care for the health of native tribes scattered throughout Alaska. ANS has created clinics of-the- air, in which doctors con- tact member stations daily to in quire about the health problem of the villages and to prescribe treatment for illnesses and in- juries.
 One such clinic, that operated by Dr. E. Stuart Rabeau, physi- clan in charge of the Alaska Ma tive Service hospital at Kotzebue, takes care of an area inhabited by $500 people. Dr. Rabeau's clinic boundaries extend from St. Michael on Norton Sound, to St.. Lawrence Island, King Island, Little Diomede, Wainwright, Shungnak and the Boring Sea.
 All manner of ailments, even fractures, gunshot wounds and minor surgical operations, have been treated through the clinic. Often the physician prescribes emergency treatment that saves a life until a plane can be dis patched to move a critically in jured or ill patient to the hospital, '' This is the way Dr. Rabeau's clinic works: At six o'clock each evening he begins calling the 18 stations of his clinic. Usually the

ANS teacher is the person who receives his call. On reports of sickness or injury, the doctor asks for a detailed description of symp- toms and then recommends the procedure to be followed. In the event of an emergency, each out post station can signal the doctor with an urgent call for help.
 Recently, an accidental shotgun Wounding at Candle was handled by the clinic. The marshal, who called the doctor, had admins tered all of the first aid he knew in treatment of the 13-year-old patient. Following the advice that came to him through the air from pr. Rabeau~ the man applied a tourniquet to the correct artery, cleaned the wound and reset a shattered arm bone. Today this boy has only long scar on his arm to remind him of the accl- dent
 Dr. Rabeau's radio log shows that his air-prescriptions have treated cases of asphyXiation, burns. fractures and childbirth.

EntomoIogist Promises Coming War on Valdez Sand Flies

Plans now are nearly complete for installation of an AerosoI spray unit in Valdez to protect the Valdez playground this sum- mer, Charles Wilson, entomolo- gist with the Alaska Health and Sanitation Activities announced this week. MT. Wilson said he eX- pected to have the unit installed at Valdez next week.
 He explained that the unit works by compressed air, which blows a fine spray into the air over the area to be protected. The spray kills all insects in the air. The pest the entomologist will be particularly spraying for at Val dez is the sand fly.
 Protection is only temporary, but the unit can be turned on whenever the pests make it nee essary, it was stated. MT. Wile0 said the process was still soE - what experimental, but tests |; being continued and the process is being improved each summer season.
 A similar unit to the type planned for Valdez was installed at Kings Lake Camp at Palmer last summer, as protection against mosquitoes.
 MT. Wilson said he planned to enlist the aid of the Alaska Road Commission at Valdez in develop ing spray equipment that will blow a fine pest-killing fog over the playground area.
 No further work is planned for Valdez this year, with the excep- tion of the Aersol spray unit, 1t was stated.
