REPEAL FOOD HANDLERS PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS

Effective June 20 annual phy- sical examinations for food hand lers will not be required in the Territory. This bill was repealed on the recommendation of the AL aska Board of Health on grounds that:
 A certificate of physical exam ination gave a false sense of se- curity. Disease might be contract ed the day after the certificate had been issued, spreading could take place year before discov- cry was effected.
 More effective food-borne dis ease prevention is believed possi- ble through education and coop eration of handlers and manage ment.
 There already are strong and effective laws regarding regula- tions on control of typhoid fever, dysentery, tuberculosis, diptheria and other diseases.
 The Territorial Board of Health has adopted regulations for milk handling, food stores and mark cts, sea food packing, water sup ply, sewage disposal, eating and drinking establishments, canner- ies and bottled beverage plants.
 The repeal is in line with the practice of most progressive cities, states and territories.

FEDERAL SCHOOL SURVEY

Representatives of the Federal Department of Education were in Palmer this week on Terri torial survey of school needs, school superintendent William T. Zahradnicek said today.
 Gathering statistics on class room space, number of pupils, and other related factors, the de- partment will be able to deter mine the need which exists. When this is balanced against the ability of the community to finance it's own program, the department will have some idea of the need for federal assistance, Zahradni- eek explained.

Who Controls Rice Supply
Controls Asiatic Destiny

Rice is the most important food
in the world.
To many Americans, that state
ment seems a gross xaggeration-
but to most of the peoples of the
world, it is simply a statement Of
fact which has been true through
out the entire history of civilization
and is just as true today.
Rice is today, as it has always
been, the basic food of more than
half of the worlds population. In
the Orient, rice is virtually the only
food of millions of people-their
means of sustaining life.
The supply of rice is a matter Of
life or death for millions of people.
He, who controls the supply Of
rice, will control the destiny of the
entire Asiatic orbit. The most i'm
portant thing to the majority Of the
people of Asia il not Democracy,
nor Communism, nor any political
ideology-but food, which means
life itself. And in most of Asia, food
is rice.

In his petition, Capt. Chapman
pointed out that he had been "ad-

had every reason to believe it
would continue to fly on a course
that would have taken it over
Chesapeake Bay.
Since the crash. the Air Force
has issued a regulation ordering
pilots OF crippled planes to fly
them away from the Washington
Metropolitan Area and toward the
Atlantic Ocean before abandoning
them.
