ANNUAL SALES
 TO BE CONDUCTED THROUGHOUT VALLEY

The annual tuberculosis Christ mas Seal campaign got under way in the Matanuska Valley this week. Attractive posters depict ing replica of the 1853 seal, have been placed in several stores and buildings as have collection jars.
 Mrs. Gene Kirsch, 1853 cam paign chairman, said this week that because of an error in the envelopes sent to the valley this year, there has been some delay in getting the seals out to indi- viduals as in the past. However, the mailing, under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Cope, has been started and will be completed as soon as corrected envelopes ar rive in Palmer.
 In the Eska and Jonesville areas Mrs. Harvey Hiber is in charge of the mailing.
 For the convenience of those who are doing early mailing, seals and a collection jar have been left at the post office. Any who have not yet received their seals who wish may purchase them at the post office, Mrs. Kirsch said this week.

Local Health
 Problem Discussed Al Special Meeting

Miss Dorothy Whitney of Jun eau and chief of the section of nursing, Alaska Department of Health, met with representatives of the Palmer Community Chest, Matanuska Valley Health Coun- cil, City Council and Palmer School board this past Friday afternoon for an informal dis cussion pertaining to the local support of the Public Health Nurse.
 The problem became more acute in the local area when it was learned that this years Com nunity Chest campaign fell far short of it's goal of $4,000 and that expected support from the Chest would not be enough for the local share in the support of the nurse.
 Miss Whitney told the group that territorial funds are never enough for an adequate local health program. Much of the money must go into the tubercul, osis program; for assistance to the ACCA; sanitation control and the public health nurses. Com munities of 1900 population or more must contribute $100 per month toward the nurses salary This past year the local health council not only contributed this $12OO but also paid for repairs and maintenance of the nurses vehicle.
 The feeling of the group repre- senting the various units at the meeting appeared to be that in as much as the majority of the money contributed to the local health program was raised with in the school district that it was unfair for these sums to be used for the health program in the fringe areas outside the school district.
 Miss Whitney pointed out that the health problem does not stor at any given point and that the problem is as acute in these fringe areas as within any given area.
 Following lengthy discussions it was brought out that if one isolated area was to contribute to the support of a public health nurse program that area would be established by the Department of Health. Several suggestions were offered whereby the local
