Foirbunks unowure Of Narcotics Problem Among School Children

 Hubert Gilbert. assistant attor. ncy. sad he knew of DO school children in Fairbanks who are addieis and questioned Inc source 1f Grcef's information
 Al the Parent. Teacher Assoc!a. iiun meeting February n. 8 good share Of the discussion was devet- cd to the controversy. Sot par ent. principal. teacher. nor any oi the several high school students called into the meeting had ob- served any indication of narcotics use among school children.
 Dr. James Ryan. superintendent of Fairbanks schools, also won dered where Greer had received his information. He said that Greer never talked 10 hIm or any ,one else al the school.
 It could happen tat y.e are fooled. the superintendent said Sometimes people Who deal in narcotics are deucedly clever, but Inc one could find any clue of any sort that would lead to the belief that narcotics are being used"
 It was geserally agreed that the charge could be possible but hard ly probable. The P-TA decided to remain on its toes for any possi- bilities that might arise. Plans were made to secure an educa- tional film on the use of narcotics that will be shown later to the school children.

 Blood type Identification tags for most of the adults Eho par iticipated in the l949 program have been available for the past few months al the Health Center. The cost is only IS cents to cover Ithe cost of the chain. Health Council volunteers have typed the tags in Anchorage. To date. according to Public Health Nurse Marjorie Myren. few people have called to claim their tags. Never theless. the volunteers will con- tinue the laborious task of typing thc metal tags until everyone VI the Valley who has been typed will have one.
 There will also be another BCG Iclinic this spring, Miss Myren an- .nounced. Last year over a thous- and persons were tuberculin test
 ed in the first Valley BCG clinic, Iapproximatelv 800 negative reac- tors were given BCG vaccinations.

MRS. WILSON TELLS ABOUT ALASKA WORK OF CANCER SOCIETY

IT Is LATER THAN IOu THINK Sugh Wat ths insesma- Lon gwen members ai the Health Council last Thsfsday naEti whea afk kathegAn Wilson spoke about the work done ga Alaska by the American Cancer Society of E hich she is education chair man for this area.
 Emphasizing the fec; that the life of cancer victim ls in the hands of the lrs; physician who sees hin. the society and the Alaska Department of Health have as their lo.ni project yearly tellowshlps given 'ea doctors fo- q short course on diagnosis and treatment of cancer conducted by the University of Oregon Medical School The soe;ety hopes, MFs Wilson said. 10 extend this pro- gram to dentists as lt relates 70 oral cancer
 Cancer clinics have been held by the American Cancer Society in Ketchikan. Juneau. Anchorage and Fairbanks. More than 100 pa tientS were referred for diagnosis T the two Southeastern Alaska clinics and the physicians took ad- vantage of the opportunities of fered to observe advanced tech niques IF diagnosis. treatment, and surgery. In Anchorage and Fairbanks the response was less encouraging even though trans portation and per diem were of fered to physicians in outlying communities. No patients were IT, ferred to these clinics.
 Other help has been given by the society in the form Of service to patients. dressing and sick room supplies, and X-ray treat ments for needy patients. The society would like to have ser vice committee to survey the needs of cancer patients in each nome community,
 Does smoking increase the chances of cancer developing? That is a question underlying l0-year study now in progress. Interest in this possibility is sti- naulated by the fact that cancer of the lung is on the increase, Mrs. Wilson said. Early discovery ot this form of cancer would be re- alized if more people had 8-rayS for TB. These chest H-rays are lust as valuable for the discovery of early cancer, but unfortunatelY the majority of them are taken )f the younger age group. Cancer is more prevalent in the above t9 age group.
 The local cancer education com n7ittee. consisting of Mrs. Howard Estelle, Mrs. Stan Laird, and Mrs. Wilson. is hoping to get in- formation regarding cancer to- everyone in the Valley. Litera- lure is supplied at six pubic places throughout the city, and the committee will try to obtaln films for any group interested II sufficient time is given to send for them

Our Thanks to You

All of us in ATA want to thank you for the wonderful support you have given to us in our fight to serve Alaska and to help in the development of the Territory,
 We are in there pitching for business and we aim to stay in business.
 When our case comes up in the US. Court of Appeals in Washington, DC, we sin cerely believe that this high tribunal will uphold our right under the American flag to stay in business, to make an honest living and to perform much-needcd public serv- ice.
 When you see a sleek C-46 with a big ATA on its tail heading north or heading south, you'll know that we are doing our level best to give Alaska the best in low cost air freight and passenger service.
Valley frontiersman., 1952-02-28
Streamlined Operations

So successful have the C-46s been in the Alaskan trade, and so streamlined have been the operations of ATA, that We became the envy Of numerous scheduled carriers. From the beginning - even unto day - our type Of efficient operation has resulted in the lowest cost air freight and the most economical passenger transportation be- tween the States and Alaska
 We opened up new field of passenger travel and air cargo. On demand basis, the business of ATA grew by leaps and bounds. IL was conclusively established by the investigations of the US. Senate Small Business Committee that the low cost non- schedule operations of ATA did not take traffic from the subsidized scheduled car rierS

Complied with Every Regulation

Our company complied with every regu- lation and order of the Civil Aeronautics Administration. Our maintenance and rou- tine were as perfect and thorough as that of the most rigid scheduled carrier Yet the CAB started program of economic regula- ton harassment which finally resulted in our appealing to the Federal Court of Ap- peals in Washington, DC, for the right to stay in business to serve the loW-cost Alaskan passenger and air freight trade.
 The Federal Court sustained ATA in most of it's contention in it's reply to the charges of the CAB. ATA was ordered by the Court to prepare it's case for hearing, and rules were set down whereby ATA might stay in business and serve the public pending the hearing and the decision.

Mir. and Mrs. Hubert Sager and son Corby of Northway, were house guests of the Martin O. sons of Wasilla during the week.
 The Sagers were in the Val ley visiting friends and attending 10 business for their Riverside Lodge at Mile l283 on the Alas ka Highway.

CAB Dealt ATA Anothe- Glov

However, before the case cou:d be heard, the CAB dealt ATA another blow IL slapped down an order cutting the gross weight of the GAG, when carrying passengers from 48,000 pounds to 45,000 pounds. The edict became effective on 43 hours notice, and took most of the profit out of our operations.
 This order was issued in spite of the fact that thorough investigation by the CAA of the GAG over the past five years has sus- tained the take-off and landing gross weight of the GAG at 48,OOO pounds. The investi- gation showed the C-46 to be an exceptional carrier. and,the 49,OOO-p pound gross weight, with passengers, to in no way endanger the lives of passengers and crew.
 The citizens of Alaska can come to only one conclusion - The CAB will go to any length to kill of low cost freight and pas senger transportation supplied by ATA and other non-scheduled carriers.

A STATEMENT TO OUR FRIENDS
 THE CITIZENS OF ALASKA
By AIR TRAN ro..T As~OcI TIES

We receive so many calls every day from the travelling public wanting to know how We are progressing in the fight to provide economical transportation for everybody" that We have decided to issue this statement to the citizens Of Alaska:
 As you know, ii was ATA that pioneered GAG air transportation between the States and Alaska. After conclusive tests we de- cioed that the C-46 - the Curtis Commando Was the ship for economical air freight and low cost passenger trade between the States and Alaska. We started using these ships. That vas five years ago.
Valley frontiersman., 1952-02-28
Are We in Business?

Yes, we are in business. And we are going to continue fighting like the very devil to stay in business. We are still bringing into Alaska a very large volume of the perish able foods you eat and we are carrying the bulk of tie loW-cost passenger business in and out of Alaska.
