BIRTHDAYS AND "A PAN AM GLIDE FOR ROTARY

Duly observing the birthday of Ted Duffield by presenting him with the little hen that lays the golden eggs, and withholding something else from absentee Ben Hyndman, the Rotarians took off on a Pan American World Air ways trip yesterday. Only this time they did a long glide with colored slides, seeing something of England's cathedrals, Parlia- ment buildings and castles, and then continued on to Rome. Fit ting in well with the Pre-Easter season, the RotarianS had a look at the places where Peter and Paul are said to have been exc cuted for their faith, and also the churches that memOrialize them. While the Coliseum, site of Chris tian martyrdom, is only a mem- orable ruin. The flight crew, Bud Harper and Jim Walsh had plen- ty of visual evidence that Chris tianity lives on.
 Ron Brousseau was the clubs agent at Juneau, to be sure that the Rotarians of the Capital city remembered that the day was all Alaska or Seward Day. Karl Dewey got a glad send off for his forthcoming trip, outside"
 Guests were Jim Williams, in- Structor of the University of Alas ka's Extension Mining Course now in progress, and Hap Eherle, Marks Air Force Base.

Rather 1t is indicative of results of X-rayS, surveys and other examinations conducted more strenuously dur ing the pas few years in an effort to search out the tuberculOuS in order that they may receive care as rapidly as hospitals and funds permit.
 "The alarming fact right now" he said, lis that more than one half, or 3,l84 of the known cases are living at home and since most of them are not confined to bed, they are mingling with other resi- dnets and thus able to expose others to infection"
 Protection of the health of Alaska's present and future resi- dents depends upon the care of l the tuberCuIOuS and the control of the disease that we can achieve noW," the health commissioner stated.
