Anchorage, Kefchikun
 To Sforf 2nd Polio Shots

Polio vaccine for second in jections of last terms first and second graders is being released 10 the Greater Anchorage Health District and to the Ketchikan Health Center, according to pr. Charles R. Haynan, chief of the Alaska Department of Health preventive medical services sec tion. The injections are to be given before school begins.
 He said that Dr. Richard c. Murphy, health officer of the tGreater Anchorage Health dis ttrict, has requested permission to go ahead with the program at this time because his staff is bet ter equipped to give the injec- tlons now rather than shortly after school opens.
 In the case of Ketchikan. Dr. Hay1nan recommended that the injections be started as soon as possible because of the occur renee of three cases of poliomy- telltis in that area during the past two weeks.
 No definite word has been re- cafved to date in the Valley de- termining the exact date when the second injections will be giv- en to, those children who received injections shortly before the close of school this past May. How ever, it is believed that the vac cine will arrive shortly after school begins this Fall.

nothing in the statute books requiring a

Are these so-called Northern spokes-
men actually Northern Americans? Are
they from good old New England Yankee
stock? (Not even the Abolitionists tried to
mix the races in Southern schools when the
South lay postrate) Are they solid inland
families, descended from pioneers who
crossed the plains? Or are they first gen
GRAFTON malcontents full Of alien notions?
Are they recent immigrants from who
knows whore-Russia, perhaps? Who arc
these spokesman?
What kind of schism are they trying
TO drive through the Federal Union Of
States? Why, other than for Communist
reasons, would they wish to split that
union?
Northern Americans. like Southern
Americans would wish an answer to such
questions. The common ground between
both North and South still is the love Of
liberty Americans on both sides Of the
Mason Dixon Line must stand together
against evil schemers. A federal union Of
true Americans stands forever united.
