ANCHORAGE MAN TO HEAD POLIO DRIVE

John O'Shea, Well-knoWn An chorage insurance man and com- munity leader, has accepted the chairmanship of the 1854 March of Dimes in Alaska, Basil O'Con- nor, president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly- sis, announced this week.
 As March of Dimes chairman, O'Shea will coordinate the fund.- raising activities of volunteer campaign workers throughout Alaska and will lead what may prove to be the most crucial March of Dimes in National Foun- dation history.
 In accepting the appointment, O'Shea said, 'The polio outbreak in Juneau this summer dramati- cally pointed out to Alaskans some of the results of past March of Dimes campaigns. By mid-sum- mer many patients were in hos pitals, their treatment costs be- ing paid by the National Foun- datiOn.
 By the time polio had reach ed out to claim a rate of 186 vic tims for every 100000 popula- tion in late July, the city of Jun eau applied to the office of De- fense Mobilization for gamma globulin to be used in a mass in- oculation.
 Gamma globulin was allocated by the ODW and flown to Alaska. Medical supplies were rushed in by the Foundations national headquarters in New York. Start ing July 30, more than 1,500 children through the age of IA were being inoculated at clinics established by the Territorial Health Department
 'The research, which isolated the three polio viruses and later proved the Worthiness of gamma globulin, rare human blood de- had been financed with millions of March of Dimes dol lars"
 Per capita contributions to the March of Dimes in Alaska last year increased from 61 cents to 79 cents. In terms of dollars this an increase of $23,46 over the previous year.
 The 1854 March of Dimes takes place January 2 through the 31st.

CONSERVATION
 NOTES
By Lew E. Hanks

The Brillion grass seeder be- longing to the Soil Conservation Service, has been loaned to the Soil Conservation Sub-district on the Kenai Peninsula. In the past two years it has seeded several hundred acres of grass in the valley. AS demonstration ma chine its use has been an un- qualified success.
 The same company, also makes combination grain-grass drill and fertilizer spreader operating on the same principle. That of dropping the seed or fertilizer be- tween two sets of packers. It might be worth Investigating if you intend to get a grain drill. Small seeded crop varieties are often seeded too deep here, as it is.
 MT. Charles Wilson and I spent couple of days in Valdez last week. We looked over several hundred acres that may be poten- tial farm land in that area. I am sure that it is worth a close in- vestlgation. The more I see of Alaska the more certain I am that there is a big future for farming here. To me, however, the cream of the area is still the Matanuska Valley.
 That reminds me of something. 10 eIdnoo HIuo s! 7m!l I!eA weeks away. That's the time when the Valley goes on display If we're ever to show the country what farming can do here, Fair time is the time to do it. We need lots of exhibits, especially in the livestock departments. It takes time and work to do those things but it's worth it. Let's get behind the effort of the Fair board and make this Fair bigger and better than ever. Gene Kirsch is doing a fine job managing it. Get those exhibits on the way.
