HEALTH ASSN
OFFERS HELP
IN SALARY

Alarmed because the alb
sence of a public health nurse
in Ottawa county is seriously
handicapping it's TB case
finding program, the Ottawa
County tuberculosis and
Health Association has told the
county Board of Health it will ap-
propriate a sum of money to aid
in payment of a nurses salary if
it is needed.
Ottawa county has been without
a health nurse since the July resig-
nation of Mrs. Terase Telep. Di-
rectors of the county Health AS
sociation, meeting last Thursday
night at Town Hall in Oak Har-
Dor, expressed deep concern that
until there is a public health
nurse to do followeup work on
cases of tuberculosis uncovered
through its chest x-ray program,
the valuable case-finding work
here will be stymied.
Atty. Luella Zehner, president
of the Association and Mrs. Gret-
chen Claus, executive secretary,
in July visited each Health Board
member individually, and made
the Associations offer to appro-
pirate a sum of money to augment
the Health Boards budget for a
nurse.

the purpose.

conducted by the research depart

|ParOlee Involved
 In $25,OOO Robbery, Clues Indicate

KETCHIKAN, L' - US. Com missioner Kathryn Davenport Monday bound James E. Duncan, New Jersey state prison parolee, over to a federal court jury in connection with a $25,OOO robbery.
 During a two-hour preliminary hearing in Commissioner Daven- ports chambers, Deputy Marshal Fred Bryant testified paint parti- cles from Josephine Hills side walk were found on Duncan's shoes and on both front mats of his car.
 Bryant said the indications were that two persons were involved in the robbery of $25,OOO from cedar chest in Mrs. Hills bedroom January 1. Mrs. Hill said she had kept approximately the same amount of money in the chest the past 20 years.
 Duncan, paroled from the New Jersey prison in 1946 after serving 12 years of life sentence, named a local bartender as having knowl- edge of the money when he was first questioned, Bryant testified, adding that in doing so Duncan revealed his knowledge of the robbery.

Shortage of Skins Slows Distribution Kotzebue Chamber Certificates

SEATTLE, R - The Alaska Steamship Co. finally has it's 1852 certificate of membership in the Arctic Circle Chamber of Con- merce. With the 1852 certificate was letter explaining why the certificate is just now being de- livered.
 The certificate, hand-lettered by Wilbur Walluk and decorated with a picture of a polar bear on a cake of ice is not on paper, but on seal skin.
 The Arctic Circle Chamber of Commerce, which is at Kotzebue, is believed to be the only cham Der in America which used seal skins for it's certificates, and this gives the organization a problem all it's own.
 A letter accompanying the 1852 certificate and signed by Alice C. Connolly, treasurer, explained:
