typhoid does not mean you can
drink polluted water all day and
laugh it off. A vaccine's great
value is in tempering-some-
time "unnoticeably-the thrusts
of diseases. Yellow fever shots
are probably the best, with small
pox and typhoid vaccines fol-
lowing in that order. Perhaps.
but it will take years to evaluate
fully the Salk vaccine will place
somewhere on the list.
Concerned Over Manufacture
OF primary concern to the
Biologics Control Laboratory is
the manufacture of the Salk
vaccine. They are visiting, in
person, drug firms to double
check each step in the vaccine's
preparation-a time consuming
job, terribly detailed. Producing
the vaccine involves the Rhesus
monkey from India, sterile nine
ing of monkey kidney. the grow
ing in this kidney tissue of the
elusive polio viruses, then the
killing of these viruses while at
the same time preserving their
antibody building faculties.
At the moment polio is still a
problem in more ways than one:
India has threatened to shut off
the monkey supply; health Off
cialS are worried because they
do not know what decision will
be reached on the vaccine, yet
they must arrange their ma
chinery for mass vaccinations;
time is running out, three shots
of the vaccine must be given
before school Is ended and before
the polio season arrives in force:
there are chances of black mar
kets in vaccine cropping up.
But through all this will come
the cold word from Bethesda.
There, the vaccine plug will be
pulled or kept firmly in place.

manding position in the polio
picture.
Besides the vaccine the Polio
Foundation is furnishing health
departments for use by 9 million
school children, free of charge.
some six pharmaceutical firms
will be prepared to provide
enough vaccine commercially to
inocculate 9 million other chill
dren-for a price. Prices rang
ing from 81 to IS are being
quoted for the three required
shots. They will be given by
private physicians.
From Living Substance
Biologics-such as the Salk
vaccine-differ from drugs or
synthetic chemicals in that they
are prepared from living rather
than inorganic substances. They
are used in the prevention, treat
ment and cure of the diseases of
man, and fall, not within the
scope of the Food and Drug Adj
ministration. but the Biological
Control Laboratory. Included
in the field are vaccines and
toxoids used effectively against
smallpox, scarlet fever, diph-
iberia, Rocky Mountain spotted
fever. typhoid, yellow fever,
typhus and measles.
Vaccines, when injected into
the blood stream, produce spe-
cific antibodies to fight specific
trouble makers like the three
strains of the polio virus. Some
people can fight off diseases on
their own, some need help from
vaccines. The big point is to
get the vaccine into the blood
stream before the disease-pro-
voking agent gets there. Anti
bodies. then. can be ready and
waiting.
Yet no vaccine-at least at
this point-has been found to be
100 per cent effective, doctors
say. That shot in the arm for

Scientists and Luymen Look to April II
For Decision on SoIk Voccine's S Success
Nation Awuits Word
On Its Effect in

BY JOHN McKELWAY


An announcement Of tremen-
dous medical interest Is due
April IL. It could happily rock
the country with the finding
that, finally. man has an effec-
tive weapon-besides the blood
he carries-against the paralysis
which polio sometimes produces.
Then again, the announcement
could be one Of those murky,
statistical swamps which breed
tricky interpretations and pub
lie confusion. Undoubtedly. 1t
will set of some merry argu-
ments In the upper reaches OF
science.
In any event-and this Is
somewhat comforting-the an
nouncement will not pull the
plug on gallons of polio vaccine
now ready for distribution to
the public this month. This
awesome responsibility rests in
the Biologics Control Laboratory
Of the United States Public
Health Service, National Insti-
tutes of Health at Bethesda, Md.
Simple Issue is, Yes or No
This is the place countless
doctors and each health depart
ment will look to for the final
word on the Salk vaccine. Here.
q small group of scientists
mingle with test tubes, and IL
cense or refuse to license prod
ucts destined for blood stream
consumption. Here, at least, the
situation is very simple: the
vaccine will either be. licensed or
1t won't be licensed.
The April IL announcement
will be the findings of DR.. Thom-
as Francis, jr.. chairman of the
Department of Epidemiology at
the University of Michigan's
Public Health School. Snce last
years field trial. of the vac
cine (some 100000 children ac-
tually received it, the doctor
has headed a group sitting
mountains of statistical data
taken from communities which
staged mass vaccinations. The
big question-one which, 1t is
hoped. DR.. Francis can supply
lis to what degree, if any, the
vaccine was potent.
It is expected the laboratory's
word on licensing will come
either at the same time DR..
makes his statement or soon
afterward. Dr. William G. Work
man, chief of the laboratory.
will examine the same material
on which DR.. Francis is basing
his conclusions.
In 1902, Congress passed the
Biologics Control Law, giving
the laboratory absolute control
over all biologic products manu-
factured in this country. 1t is
the laboratory's responsibility.
for example, to pass on vac
eine's purity, safety and potency.
Commercial Producers Ready
Licensing of the salk vaccine
was not necessary last year be-
cause of the experimental" ma
ture of the innoculation pro-

KETCHIKAN BIDS FOR LEAGUE CONVENTION

An invitation to hold it's 1856 Convention in Ketchikan has been sent by the City's mayor to the League of Alaska Cities.
 Mayor J. H. Goding of Ketchi- kan submitted the invitation for presentation at the Convention to be held in Palmer beginning next Monday
 Tn a letter addressed to League President Harold R. Painter of Seward, Mayor Goding said:
 As the first Southeastern Al aska city to become a member of the League of Alaskan Cities, l would like to extend, on behalf of the City of Ketchikan, an in- vitation to the League to hold its 1856 annual convention in our city. I feel this would give off cials of the cities of other divi- sions an opportunity to learn at first hand some of our problems and that the holding of an annu- al convention in Ketchikan would stimulate the interest of other cities in this area in activities of the League,
 "Ketchikan has adequate facil- ities to accommodate the delega- tes and for the conducting of the bushes affairs of the convention. We would welcome an inspection of the facilities of the City of Ketchikan and the $60,000,000 plant of the Ketchikan Pulp Company by the delegates in att tendance"
 Ketohikan joined the League earlier this year
 MT. J. H. Goding was elected Mayor of Ketchikan at the Octo- Der 4, election replacing George Beck who did not seek re-elec- ton.
 Final decision as to location of the 1856 Convention will be made by the Executive Committee of the League following the annual meeting here. Previous League conventions have been held in Anchorage, Kodiak, Seward, Cor dova and Fairbanks.

of the City of Palmer, we strong ly protest your proposed aband- onment of "that certain road gen. erally known and described as the Martin road, O.2 of a mile in ex- tent, more or less, located m Sec tion 15 of Township IT North, Range 2 East of the Seward Mer- idian", as described in your Le- gal Notice published in the From tiersman, Palmer, Alaska, Thurs day, October 20, 1855.
 Attached you will find a list of the main reasons upon which we base our protest.
 We further demand that you hold Public Hearing in the City of Palmer, Alaska; following suf- ficient notice of such intent, SD that all interested persons and parties may attend and be heard concerning your proposed aban- donment of this and certain other roads located in the Matanuska Valley and contiguous areas.
 Very truly yours,

 Part of the reasons referred to by MT. Martin are listed above just prior to his letter. Interested persons and groups having objec- tions to the abandonment as pro- posed should submit their obJec- tions, in writing, to the District Engineer in Anchorage within 3O days of the first publication of the ARC notice. Whether a pub lie hearing will be held or not will have to be decided by ARC officials, with the final decision on the abandonment of the roads to come out of the Juneau office, MT Zimmerman stated to- day.

Recipients Ponder MEA S2,O0O Grant

Lee Emmert, superintendent of schools in Chugiak, was in atten- dance at the Matanuska Electric Association board of directors meeting on October 24 for clari- fication of the $2,0OO grant which MEA voted to give the Chugiak area. Charles Wilson, board mem Der, pointed out that this amount is not in lieu of taxes, as. was previously announced, but rather a fund being set up for the use of the Chugiak schools. MT. Elm inert stated that any such money, spent under MEA supervision (as proposed) would not be in accord with public schools. Such ar agreement between MEA and the Chugiak committee would have to be approved by the Territor- ial Department of Education he pointed out. He presented a ten tative budget of how the money would be spent, along with pro- posed agreement between the Chugiak committee and MEA, both of which will be studied by the MEA directors for further ac- ton.
 A number of visitors were in attendace at the meeting. but only three were there for any other reason than to listen. Mrs. Gene Kirsch requested the board of di- rectors grant her permission to secure the MEA mailing list to bring the Tuberculosis Seal cam paign hist up to date. She offered to act as a clearing agent for other worthy drives who would also have need for the list. No decision was made on her re- quest.
 Vernon Haik, CD director in the greater Chugiak area, re- quested pole installation so that electricity may be provided to the CD headquarters building To- cated approximately 300 feet north of Spring Creek Lodge. He was advised to get an application into the MEA office.
 Board members diScused ways in which some type of assistance could be given to the local hos rital. Any special rate accorded the hospital would have to have REA approval. The matter was tabled for further discussion when full board is present.
 A number of letters were read, many of which required full board action and were tabled for a future meeting. Free use of the pole digger was granted the City of Palmer for digging an expert mental drain; the purchase of a radio for the truck was approv-
