MEASLES EPIDEMIC
 REPORTED, BETHEL

Sixty-five cases of measles were reported in the Bethel area early this week and immune globulin was dispatched there immediately from the Anchorage office of the AL aska Department of Health, ac- cording to word received here to- day.
 Between 300 and 400 persons are known to have been exposed which may result in raging epidemic, Dr. Duncan Chalmers, Alaska Ma tive Service physician at the Bethel hospital told Health Department officials in reporting the measles scourge in the lower Kuskokwim area
 In addition to the supply of inn mune globulin dispatched to Bethel by the Health Departments Dis trict Laboratory in Anchorage, l. GOO vials are being rushed from San Francisco hy the American Red Cross for free distribution, the Anchorage message stated.
 In an effort to control the meas les epidemic, two nurses are pre- ceding ahead of the known cases in the, area to give globulin to sus- ceptible children in other villages of the district. The nurses are Mrs. Naomi Talbitzer, Bethel intinerant nurse for the Alaska Department of Health, and Mrs. Esther Schau- bel, Alaska Native Service nurse in the Bethel area.

lABORAIoRY GE!GER COUNTER SET UP 10 TICK OFF ORE FINDS

A lahoratory-type Geiger counter which can detect radioactive ma terial in substances containing such infintesimal amounts as one part to ROCCO parts, is now set up and operating in the office of Leo Saar- ella, Territorial Commissioner oi Mines.
 The device looks simple enough from the outside, and is no larger than an overnight case, but its "innards" are complicated by rec tifiers, resistors and other electronic devices to enable an observer to figure out just how much and how good piece of radioactive material ne might have on hand.
 The Geiger tube is enclosed in lead to protect it from outside influences. and sample may be introduced near an aperture on it's bottom end. The amount of impuls- es sent out by uranium, for instance is counted on a "speedometer" ar rangement, the number per minute calculated, and the result shows how good a piece of ore has been discovered.
 The device will be used to de- termine how good uranium strike" might be, Saarela explain- ed. In the Bureaus field offices are portable Geiger counters, av- ailable to any prospector who might bring in a sample of rock he sus- poets of having radioactive pro- perties. The portable counters de- tect the presence of uranium, but do not give exact analyses, he said.
 Ore Ground
 If a piece of ore shows these properties, it is ground up and mixed to insure homogenuity, then sent to the Juneau office The now much uranium is in the laboratory machine counts out sample, and work can go ahead cn the basis of its findings.
 It can detect slightly more than an ounce of uranium in 2,000 pounds of rock, which mathemat- ically expressed, is 005 of one per cent. That's cutting it pretty fine, Saarela admitted, but even that small amount may be of use in atomic research.
 The Atomic Energy Commission has furnished the Bureau with samples ranging from the above amount to 5 of one percent of iadioactiyity material.
 By setting each sample in the counter he is new working out graphs and charts of the machines capabilities, so that when ore is brought in fer examination. it's quality and quantity may be fig ured in 8 jiffy.
 Hospital Uses
 The same type Of equipment IS used in hospitals to test patients undergoing X-ray treatment, so they may net he endangered by too much exposure. A person un- dergoing such treatment will set the machine going just like a piece Of uranium will A luminous-dial

For example, model rice demon

The output of .cassava, Liberals
second most important food crop,
has increased by an estimated So

production stood at about 100000

AS result of these projects, Ii
berian farmers are learning the
advantages of using good seed,
fertilizer, insecticides, improved
practices, and better tools. Their
production of cabbage, tomatoes,
okra, eggplant, corn, lima beans
and other vegetables is continuing
to rise. Last year, about $50 tons
of fresh vegetables were market
ed, as compared with only so tons
in 194S.
Through the adoption of improv-
ed farming methods coupled with
the introduction of foreign strains
of plants and animals for cross
breeding, Liberia is pushing it's
production of livestock, poultry,
and tropical fruits, including or
anges, grapefruit, cherries, pine
apples, and avocado pears.
Liberals livestock improvement
program is aimed at the develop
ment of tsetse-fly resistant
strain of cattle. Aided by the
Mission, the country has imported
from the United States two Bra
Imam bulls, one Brown Swiss bull,
a Brahman heifer, and some pure
bred hogs. These are being cross
ed with select Liberian stock. The
Mission thinks that the outlook for
improved livestock in the country
is quite hopeful.
Frank E. Pinder, head of the
Missions agricultural production
