Local Water Supply, BCG Vaccine Program, Discussed al Council

Two important community health subjects discussed at the regular meeting of the Health Council last night included Pal mer's water supply and a pro- posed BCB vaccine program for the area.
 Alaska Department of Health officials who spoke on the two vital subjects were Dr. c. M. Patterson, sanitarian, and Miss Ruth Grover. registered nurse.
 Dr. Patterson, in charge of the area that includes Palmer, told the Council last night that the towns water supply should be safe, as the chlorinator which was installed Thursday is now in op- eration.
 He stated that for the first A hours the chlorinator taste may be noticeable as an added amount of chlorine had been used as the initial application.
 He pointed out that the amount of residual chlorine in the water will amount to only two tenths part per million parts of water, in explaining that the water should have it's usual palatable taste very soon.
 The chlorinator installed Thurs day as a temporary measure IS one that is kept on hand in An chorage for just such emergencies. It will remain on loan here from

A warning was issued here this week by the Department of Health that all water from the public water supply should be purified for drinking purposes when several of many samples of the water showed a bacteria con- tent
 Actually there is more alarm in Palmer than the present situa- ton justifies," Dr. C. M. Patter- son of the Alaska Department of Health Division of Sanitation and Engineering, told the Chamber Wednesday.
 Dr. Patterson, stationed at An chorage, is in charge of the area that includes Palmer.
 A guest at the luncheon meet ing, Dr. Patterson spoke at length on the water supply here and it's present unsafe condition.
 In urging that the water supply be chlorinated, Dr. Patterson said that ''to get down to fine points there is no type of water supply that is safe under all conditions unless it is chlorinated."
 One feeder line can contamin- ate the entire system" Dr. Pat terson explained.
 "A chlorinated water system is an insurance measure" Dr. Pat terson said. He added that the cost of installing such a system would be in the neighborhood of $8,000 by the time it is completed.
 But it is not as expensive as fire insurance" he continued. comparing that figure with the cost involved if typhoid or other serious epidemic might be caused

The Palmer public water SUD- ply was pronounced safe for drinking by Alaska Department of Health officials last night.
 An emergency chlorinator de- vice to purify the water was in stalled yesterday under the super vision of Dr. C. M. Patterson of the Department of Health's Divi- sion of Sanitation and Engineer ing.
 For the first "A hours, the chlorine taste may be very mo- ticeable, the officials reminded the public, but after that the water should be just as palatable as it always has been here.
 RumorS that cases of typhoid and other illnesses traceable to the water supply here this week have been flatly denied by health officials.
 There has not been one case of sickness of any sort here from the water this week." Miss Mar jorie Myren, Public Health Nurse, stated here this morning.
 At the regular meeting of the Coop board of directors to be held tomorrow morning, action to be taken with regard to the city water system will be studied.

Local Water Supply Safe, Health Officials Say
BOARD PLAN FOR
 NEW HIGH SCHOOL HERE TOLD AT P-TA

There is a fine, new, modern high school in the offing for Pal mer If plans of the school board n1aterialize, James Hurley, treas urer, told the PIT. A. at it's regu- lar meeting at the school Tuesday night.
 MT. Hurley, speaker for the eve ming, showed tentative plans drawn for a 25O . student high school and explained that the school board has applied to the General Services Administration for funds for the building.
 The estimated cost of the pro- posed building would be in the neighborhood of $80O,OOO, MT. Hurley said. The General Serv- ices Administrator is an agency operating under the Department of the Interior. In acting favor ably on applications for school funds, the GSA grants 50 per cent of the construction cost.
 If the Palmer Boards applica- ton is accepted by the GSA, MT. Hurley explained that the meth cd for raising matching funds will be becided upon here later. Either bond issue can be voted upon, or the tobacco tax fund can be considered, he said.
 The present school would serve as a grammar school upon com pletion of the new building, ac- cording to Hurley.
 An extension to the school now under construction at a cost of $44,000 will furnish two complete classrooms, two complete lavator- ies, one complete book room and one complete teachers room. In addition there will be a full un- finished basement, suitable for two additional classrooms, which would have to be completed at an additional cost, MT. Hurley ex- plained. Two classrooms can also be added later to the extension as second story, he added.
 The extension with the original four rooms should be ready for occupancy by December l, al- leviating considerably the crowd ed condition of the school, he said.

LONDON, Oct. 9.-T'he vary
ing degree of concealment pro-
vided by a pair of stepins or bra
and panties brought lovely Sylvia
Odendaal into court today-as
plaintiff in a libel action.
Miss Odendaal is a musical
comedy actress who balks at
stripping past her stepins on the
stage.
The defendant was Ernest Lo-
tinga, British actor-producer, who
by Miss Odendaals account
can only be described as strictly
a bra and panties man.
Miss Odendaal. a 28-year-old
brunette, unreeled the story be-
fore Justice Fred Ellis Pritchard
in the Kings Bench Division as
follows:
In July, 1948, she and Lotinga
were appearing in a revue called
"Spivs and Drones." 1t was one
of those revues with blackouts.
There was a scene called "The
Hypnotist." In this, Miss Oden-
daal, as a bride on her honey
moon, ran afoul of a Svengali.
In her trance she mistook Lo-
tinga for her husband. There was
lot of one thing and another
and then a blackout-with both
parties fully clothed.

.Bevin Raps Leftists
In Labor Party for
Seeking Soviet Deals
By the Associated Press

MARGATE, England, Oct. g.
Foreign Secretary Bevin soundly
raped far-left pacifists in Brit
aims Labor Party today for seek
ing big power deals with Russia
and edging too close to the Com
munist line in opposing Western
rearmament.
Although Mr.. Bevin showed seri-
GUS signs of fading strength
through recent Illnesses, he rallied
some of the old vigor in lashing
out at the pacif1sts by declaring
he would put all his effort into the
United Nations and the collective
armed strength of the West. He
said he was through seeking peace
talks among big powers.
The ailing and shaky Minister,
just returned from United Nations
meetings in New York. told the
annual conference of the ruling
Labor Party that Russia's huge
military strength is "a standing
threat to peace in Europe" and
argued that the cost of rearming
under the Atlantic pact is an
insurance premium" against
aggression.
Mr.. Bevin was closing the debate
on his party's defense and foreign
policies. Most of his speech was
aimed at defeating a left wing
resolution urging the government
to seek new talks with Russia,
outlaw the atom bomb, end Brit
aims dependence on American aid
by 1852 and call Big Five con-
ference at once to increase East
West trade.
He won an ovation from most
of the 1900 party delegates and
an overwhelming vote of support
in defeating the paciflst resolution.
The vote. cast by the delegates on
behalf of all their members in
Britain, was 4,861 900 votes against
881 900 votes for the resolution.
The almost solid vote of the trade
union delegates assured its defeat.

1902 as a whole it is apparent that
subsection (b) has the effect Of
creating an exception to subsec-
tion (a) in that subsection (b)
covers a particular class of en-
ployes, namely, employees sep
arated from the service through
reduction in force after Septem-
ber /, 1850, who are required to
be certified as eligible for appoint
ments to positions in defense pro-
grams. Under such circumstances
subsection (b) permits the ap-
pointment of employees so certi-
fed at the grade and salary last
held in the agency from which
last terminated. Upon that view
of the matter an employe sep
arated from the service through
reduction in force after Septem-
ber l, 1850. is required to be GER
titled as eligible for appointment
in defense programs at not to
exceed the grade and salary last
held in the terminating agency,
regardless of whether the employe
has been promoted or denoted
after September l, 1850. Specifi-
cally. therefore. question is an

ing, of course, 1T has reference
