Because of the vaccine scare

possibly reducing the dosage

of injection to spread supplies.
The Government also decided
against curtailing inoculations
during the summer height of
the polio season. Although the
advisory group did say the most
favorable time for vaccination
is before the epidemic season.
it added in a statement last
night that administration of vac

further safety standards in the
manufacture of polio vaccine and
has scheduled a meeting Monday

firms producing the vaccine.

Further safety checks - above
and beyond those already en-
ploved- would mean an addi-
tional delay in shipments of the
vaccine and rule out the posi-
bility of any vaccine arriving
for use in the school programs
until after schools have closed,
it is said.

WORK STARTS ON
 TH0MS LAKE TRAIL

Nal Hardy, district ranger of the U. s. Forest Service with head quarters in Petersburg, has an nounced that final location and con struction on Thoms Lake trail has been started. A construction crew was moved onto the location last week. The trail will be 1.7 miles long and, Hardy says, covers easy grades all the way to the site on Thoms Lake where the new shelter will be built later on this month.
 On Wednesday Hardy left with John Weisgerber of the Juneau of flee aboard the Ranger 8 for an ex- tended trip in the Frederick Sound Chatham Sound area, inspecting timber sales at Pt Frederick, Mud ry River, Thomas Bay and Pt Bar rie, arranging for or performing trail work at Rake, Port Walter and Port Alexander, inspecting land uses and Federal Power Commission li- censed areas at Rake, Washington Bay, Port Walter, Port Conclusion and Port Armstrong, and investigat- ing mineral claims on Kuiu Island Inspection of the newly-built fisher mems shelter at Kadake Creek is planned with investigation of other possible sites for improvements to aid fishing.
 Following their return next week, field trip is planned with Reg ional Forest Engineer Vance Black well laying out a logging road in- side Ruth Island and estimating construction costs for a future sale of approximately 25 million board feet of timber there.

 fliers on the long, 15-hour
 flight which was flown north

 The squadron flew it's 150Oth "Ptarmigan" mission to the ice-car June 2. In addition to this daily flight, the squadron also makes Loon Echo" missions daily. These are tedious flights out to the end of the Aleutian chain, then north ward up the Bering Sea, finally back to Eielson.

See Camp

The fliers of the 5Sth squadron on their Ptarmigan missions some times catch a glimpse of the Sov- jet weather observation camp which Russia has established on drifting ice. It is easiest so find during winter when the polar reg ions are perpetually dark. The lights of the Soviet camp are des- cribed as an amazing sight in the icy, dark Arctic wastes.
 The Russian ice camp is known to be well equipped, with extensive huts, scientific equipment, aircraft and even helicopters located on a drifting ice floe.
 Broadcast Reports
 The Russians broadcast daily weather reports on an internation- al band and these reports are picked up in Alaska. In return the 5Sth's men assist the Russians for almost certainly the Soviet scien- tists can receive weather data from automatic devices which the U. s. planes parachute to the polar ice. These radio devices send out dot and dash signals which give all weather data they encounter on their trip from the mother plane to the ice.
 However, there has never been any direct contact between the 5Sth's planes and the Russian camp on the polar 'icicle curtain r
 Another Milestone
 June 2 the 150Oth Ptarmigan mission marked another milestone in the brilliant career of Eielson's weather squadron. For one thing, the plane which took off June 2 was the 133rd consecutive Ptarmi- gan trip that took off on schedule from Eielson. It. Col. Fort w. Llpe, commander of the 5Sth is proud of the clock-like regularity with which his planes take to the air for difficult long distance flights in every type of weather. m l954, only one mission was can celled.
 The 5Sth's Loon Echo'' flights are flown in flashing North Pacific storms in which up to 15O miles per hour have been encountered The Ptarmigan flights present diff flcult navigational problems in a region where magnetic compass Is worthless and frequent twilight conditions cut off the stars that navigators need to establish their position.
 Has The Answer
 However, the 5Sth has developed an answer to every polar nayiga- t1onal problem, and it's planes fly l2 or more hours without any es- tablished ground position fix" and still return to the mainland with a navigational error as small as two or three miles.
