pieces of equipment that couldn' t
even move"
Chief w. H. Boswell, super
intendent of machinery in the
fire department said his division
has the only peice of towing equip
ment in the city capable of lifting
heavy trucks and buses.
/ Inspector John j. Agnew, in
charge of the Traffice Division
said the police have four crane
type wreckers. 1t was estimated
that about 200 would be needed
to clear off the $50 miles of key
streets in the event of a heavy
snowfall after a widespread traf-
fic tie-up, such as occurred two
weeks ago.
| 55 Streets Restricted.
| Mr.. Keneipp has ordered that
the SIS streets be restricted to
certain emergency and public
service vehicles and to private
vehicles equipped with skid chains
or snow tires during a storm
emergency.
IF the plan does not work, -
said K. w. Spencer of the Public
Utilities Commission. then the
commission is going to recon-
mend something more drastic. 1t
seems to me that it behooves
everyone to make the present re-
igulationS work"
The problems that are purely
local to the District were discussed

Igineer of the District Sanitation

Earlier. Mr.. Keneipp and In
spector Agnew tentatively set ur
la system for notifying surround
ling communities of a pending
snow storm emergency. The plan
calls for the Washington police
radio to broadcast any firm fore
cas-" of the Weather Bureau that
is expected to create hazard con-
ditions. Then, if required, this
would be followed by an officia
announcement of an emergency
that actually would place the

Into effect.
Motorist Responsibility.
o. T. ,Aichel. resident engineer

Fairfax Police Chief Carl Nc

ALASKAN PRODUCTION OF GOLD INCREASES

Alaska's gold output climbed last year to the highest since 1922, the bureau of mines reported to- day.
 The increase ended a two-year decline and was largely respon- sible for a gain in the overall value of mineral output in the Territory to $19,202, ,000 from $15,- 549,O00 in 1949.
 Increased production also was reported for crude platinum group metals, lead and silver. Copper and zinc, by-products of other production, moved up slightly but remained minor.
 The report said the increased gold production came in the face of an unusually dry season which forced closure of several opera tions in the Yukon river basin and Seward peninsula.

HEALTH COUNCIL
 NEWS

A special appeal for infant and children's clothing was made by Public Health Nurse Marjorie Myren in her monthly report to the Health Council March Is. She also stressed the need for trans portation of children needing or thopedic treatments from Knik and Chickaloon to the Palmer Bus Terminal and return. AL though transportation to Anchor age from Palmer is furnished, there is no provision for children who lack means to get them to the bus. Anyone interested in as- sisting with this needed commun- ity service should contact Miss Myren at the Health Center
 Mothers having infant or chill dren's clothing they no longer need should either bring it in bundle to Mrs. Arlene Day at the Geological Survey office in the Neal Wright Building or drop her a card, telling what is avail able and where it can be picked up. Members of the Welfare and Disaster Council will collect and distribute these welcome contri- buttons.
 Commenting on health prob lems and programs of the past month, Miss Myren said that com municable disease reported in the Matanuska Valley included few cases of chickenpox-mostly in Wasilla. humps. measles, and two cases of scarlet fever.
 Under the tuberculosis control program, a child with tuberculous adenitis and active primary tu- berculosis was sent to the Juneau Government Hospital for treat ment.

 Several Valley children had mastoidectomies and tonsillec- tomies under the Alaska Depart ment of Health program for eye, ear nose, and throat treatment. Still more children have very poor vision due to scarring from corneal ulcers. Dr. Milo Fritz, Alaska Department of Health con- sultant under this program, has been using radium therapy on these children. Five or six Valley children have been travelling to the Anchorage clinic weekly for these treatments. Since this ra- dium therapy takes up most of the clinic time, routine examina- tions such as refractions have had to be postponed temporarily.
 Orthopedic clinics are held monthly in Anchorage by Dr. Karl Pelka under the auspices ot the Alaska Department of Health. Children receiving care under the Crippled Children's program and those referred by their prl- vate physicians will be seen at these clinics.
