Greetings are given in three lang 1 uages: Eskimo (Agaiyunikpok), AL cut tAsagutaq Tagadaq. Slulaq; and Tlingit (See-goo-wu Di-kee- -on- Kawu-Du-Yeet Ku-yu-geeyee). The idea of the card grew from a spark ignited by Dr. Frank Mar esh, medical officer in charge of the hospital. His contribution to the card consists in telling a few highlights and incidents. He says that in the states the discharge of patient from tub erculosis sanatorium is a compara- lively simple affair and the patient makes ali his own arrangements. However. in Alaska it becomes an. involved scheme which calls for a knowledge of geography, climatol- ogy, aeronautics, ichtyology. com munications, etc. Each situation de- mands an individual solution A patient may arrive in July wearing summer clothing, but when he de- parts for the tundra the sanatorium may have to provide polar apparel"
 Singular Incident pr. Maresh tells of a 4-year-old Aleut from King Cove who started her 1,000-mile trip to the hospital [ here without any escort, without any ticket, without any identifi- cation, without any money, without any baggage and arrived here safe- ly.
 , The child's mother explained the situation to sympathetic skipper 1 of mailboat who somewhere along . the way tranferred the child to . an understanding bush pilot so she might arrive here more quickly. Pretty Lea Apayaok from Barter Island does not speak English but her ward mates translated her paragraph in which she tells of her life in that Arctic outpost. Kathryn Eluska from Nikolai on the Kuskokwim River writes that the post post office there is only open in winter when the ski-planes can land.

kaster Denies Graifiing

WASHINGTON, Dec 12 - R = Bert K. Master denied today he ever tried to get money from Abra- ham Teitelbaum in connection with Teitelbaum's tax troubles.
 Under oath before House inves- tigators, Master declared there was no truth in Teitelbaum's story that Master and Frank Nathan tried to shake Teitelbaum down for S5O0,OOO in 'tax fix" extor- tion.
 Master, a shaking nervous witness before a House Ways and Means subcommittee, denied. too, that he ever suggested the name of any lawyer to Teitelbaum.
 Master is a Hollywood, Fla, busi- ness man. Nathan, the other man named by Teitelbaum, also has de- nied the story in testimony to the House group.
 Grand Jury Investigation
 Attorney General McGrath has ordered a grand jury investigation of the whole matter. Justice De- partment officials said it probably will begin it's inquiry next week.
 At one point in the questioning about Teitelbaum, Master baked at giving answers. He said he did so because of physical fear"
 Master had told of meeting Teitol- baum in Florida.
 Adrian Dewind, committee coun- sel, asked: This was the first time you met him? You had heard of him before, but you had never met him?"
 "Yes, sirs''
 How did you hear about him?"
 Afraid to Answer
 Master conferred with his attor- ney Jules Yablock of New York City Yablock said the witness was afraid to answer.
 'You are in physical fear of an- swering?" demanded Dewind.
 "Yes. sir,"s Master replied, adding That he had told the committee why in preliminary questioning behind closed doors.
 Dewind dropped the matter for the time being.
 Teitelbaum is a wealthy Chicago attorney who has sometimes repre- sented interests of the late gangster Al Capone.
 He rocked the House hearings on tax scandals last week by testifying that Master and Nathan tried to get $500,000 from him on repre- sentation that they could fix his tax troubles through clique of influential Washington friends.
 Teitelbaum said they represented that the clique included T. Lamar Caudle, busted assistant attorney general; Jess Larson, head of the General Services Administration; Charles Oliphant, chief counsel of the Internal Revenue Bureau, since resigned.
 All the officials have made de- nials.

Any Emergency

DETROIT, July %. -
(P).- President Truman
has accused Russia of max.
ing military preparations
around the wOrld--saying
that the actions of Moscow
give no indication of any
peaceful intentions.
In speech at Detroits 250th
anniversary celebration, the presi-
dent questioned whether the Com
muniSts really wanted peace in
Korea since Russia is putting her
self in a position to commit new
acts of aggression.
He warned the United States tc

ing, quote: ave cannot let our
guard down. no matter what hap
pens in Korea. The free world
must have armed strength, and
have it now, not in reserve, not
later. but now.
We must have men, ships
planes, tanks and bombs on hand
ready for any emergency"
Mr.. Truman also blasted critics
of his defense program He de-
clared that there are a lot of peo-
pie trying to shake our confidence
in ourselves-that they say we
cannot afford to build up our de-
Tense because it will cost too
much.
He answered strong defenses

To control chiggers on the lawn
and inshrubbery, spray or dust
with one pound Of sulphur to each

Lindane or chlordane, two Of
the newer insecticides, will give
good control Of chiggers on the

cent chlordane emulsion to 20 gal
Ions of water. Apply one gallon
of this mixture to each 800 square

One of the simplest ways to pre-
vent chigger bites is to apply a
little busting sulphur around your
waist and ankles before you go in
