BAKE SALES BANNED IN ANCHORAGE TYPHOID SCARE

Bake sales in the Anchorage area were banned April 12 by health officials, and housewives were urged to prepare food only for their immediate families.
 The possibility of food play ing role in the Anchorage ty- phoid fever epidemic was being invistigated this week by health officers.
 Dr. Joseph H. Stickler, Dept of Health Epidemiologist, said that although this lead is remote at best, every possibility must be investigated. A wire to the US. Public Health Service re- ouested information on all state side outbreaks of typhoid for the past six months to determine whether food from an epidemic area could be connected with the 12 Anchorage cases.
 Plumbing at the Anchorage schools has been checked and city records for the past three months have been studied for breaks in the water mains and similar data. Underground water flow in the Spenard area was studied as possible factor in the spread of the disease. Flu orescein, the dye used to mark downed planes at sea, is being dumped in suspicious Spenard cesspoo1s to determine whether sewage pollution is being car ried to nearby shallow wells.
 Dr. Robert l.. Smith, assistant commissioner of health, said that more intensive laboratory tests are now under way to identify typhoid carriers who may unknowingly be harboring the bacteria within their body. He added that the confirmation of no typhoid cases in the past three days gives promise that the epidemic has reached it's peak.

R. c. Campaign 10 Feature
 Store Booths

Stewards quota in the Red Cross Fund Campaign is $1063 this year, which is $500 less than the 1949 quota, which is based on expenditures of the Chapter during the year.
 Mrs. Kirkpatrick, Chapter chairman, states that she has enough faith in the people of Seward, and their sense of re- accessibility, that unless it proves necessary, there will be no house to house canvass. Instead, booths will be set up for the week of April IS to April 9 in the grocery stores. There will be someone in constant attend ance. Membership cards and stickers can be obtained there.
 Business houses were particu- larly generous last year, and they will be given the opportun- ity to contribute by mail.

 The local chapter is finishing up the Sanatorium fire disaster this week. Rehabilitation oi the nurses who lost ali their DOS sessions is nearly completed at the approximate cost to Red Cross of $oae. Upon completion of reports and an accounting oi the expenditures, the National Disaster Service of Red Cross will refund the total amount to the local chapter.
 Mrs. Kirkpatrick is calling for volunteers to serve in the collection booths during the week so that they will not be left unattended at any time. This is another instance in which all may help.

Face Lifting Operations On School Ground

The Seward Street Depart ment, under the supervision of MT. Ralph Van Guilder, began operations Wednesday morning on the clearing and leveling of the school grounds, by direction of the mayor and city council.
 All city equipment and street department employees besides a crew of six are rushing the job to an early completion. School boys, enthused with the prospect of real ball diamond, entered into the job also on the first day.
 A bulldozer and tractor have been pulling stumps and brush, removing boulders and grading the entire block around the school building. Beach sand will be added to smooth the surface.
 The Parent-Teacher Assn has plans for equipment, but it is suspected that the cost will be greater than that organization can meet under the circum- stances. Should this be the case, the P-TA will conduct cam paign to raise funds to buy playground equipment.

Delinquency In Territory Is
 Cause of Worry

The Dept of Public Welfare is very much concerned about present juvenile problems in the Territory. An ever increasing number of children are being re- ferred to Child Welfare Serv- ices, including a large number of children committed under provisions of the Juvenile Code Law. The question is, How is the Welfare Department to con- tinue to extend help to the chill dren and young people in trou- ble in Alaska when there are not sufficient funds to carry out the legal requirements of the programs?"
 The $16O,O0O appropriation by the 1949 Territorial Legislature was just sufficient to care for the children then under the Juvenile Code commitment and did not allow for any increase in cases committed to the De- partment of Public Welfare by the US. Commissioners Courts , throughout the Territory. The 1 appropriation as made was $9O,- 900 short of the request made by the Board of Public Welfare Effective immediately the department is putting into effect 1 the policy of reseryinp &ac - venile Code fur is asait.o5a 8gi- ing tfIe ;oaiant U t5@ hi41is ' :; through Marc 3f. 1851 for eat dren already a4der c1xe aa,3 only for babies ana younger children referred as new cases. The younger children particu- larly need the protective serv- ices of the Juvenile Code pro- gram. With the serious shortage of funds, the agency will only be able to provide assistance for very limited number of these younger children. This action means that the adolescent boys and girls, who are in trouble in the communities, and are com mitted to the Dept of Public
 Welfare, will suffer as there will be no funds available for their care, although they may benefit from the protective custody pro- vided by the Juvenile Code Law, As a result, the Child Welfare Service program will be critic ally hampered by lack of ade- quate funds.
 Every person in Alaska should be vitally concerned about this problem and should reflect their concern in performing their civic duties as citizens in the various communities throughout the Territory. There are many instances where individuals or organizational groups in the community could take an active part in helping to solve many of the juvenile problems.
 The Department of Public Welfare wants the public to know that it is concerned about the youth problems and the agency is doing everything pos sible to extend services to these children. It is important that the public be informed that the ap- propriations are not adequate and that the department will be unable to care for children in the manner in which children should be cared for.
 The above is part of a state ment released by Henry A. liar mon, director, Alaska Depart ment of Public Welfare.
