(;hickenpox Most Prevalent Disease In Area in 1857

A summary of communicable diseases for 1857 reported for the Southcentral region of Alaska, including Palmer, has been made public. The report shows that Palmer has relatively few cora municable diseases reported dur ing the past year, as compared to some of the other communities. Chickenpox led the list of com municable diseases in the Palmer area during 1857 with 35 report ed cases. Munps were second, with g reported cases. Other re- ported communicable diseases were: Pneumonia, IA; streptococ- cal infection, IA; measles, 8; con- juctivitis, 5; influenza, 3; impeti- go, 3; diarrhea, 2; food poisoning, 2; infectious hepatitis, !; meneg- ftis, l; and whooping cough, N.
 As throughout the country the most commonly reported com municable diseases in southcent- tral section of Alaska was in 1 fluenza. While cases reported numbered 2,183, it was estimated that five to ten times that num- Der actually occurred.
 Only one case of typhoid was reported, that from the Dilling- ham area. Palmer reported the only case of menengitis. Region wise there were 847 cases of humps 762 of measles; 536 chickenpox; 230 streptococcal in lection; 263 German measles; 146 conjuctivitis; and 102 upper res piratory infection. All others were reported in number total ling less than 100.
 The importance of the labora- tory in assisting physicians is Ee- vealed by the number of strepto- coccal throat infections, 75 per cent of which were reported from all of them conformed by the Southcentral Regional Labratory- Alaska Department of Health.

 Believing that valley residents desire to replace the present sys- tenn of meeting deficits through sporadic fund drives, the Associa- tion Board will ask memebrs to seek assistance from the City of Palmer sales taxes.

Club camping and recreation.
The citation to the Tippah Coun-
ty staff is "For application of eff
fective teaching methods result
ing in new agricultural markets,
increased farm income, better liv-
ing, and greater opportunity for
nonfarm employment"
Tippah is one of the pilot coun-
ties in a Rural Development pro-
gram conducted by all agencies Of
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture with state and local groups
cooperating. Leadership in this
program by members of the Tip
pah Extension staff, mostly in
this program by members of the
Tippah Extension staff, mostly
during 1856 and 1857, resulted in:
1. The county's first milk re-
ceiving plant was built with $685.
900 loaned by local citizens with
out interest. The loans were re-
paid in full after a few months
when larger plant in another
town took over the Tippah plant.
Because of this plant, $50 farmers
sell milk who were not doing so
before. Many farmers have in
creased the size Of their herds and
their production per cow.
2. Local leaders raised $1,000
and started an artificial breeders
association for dairymen.
5. A labor survey conducted by
the Rural Development committee
showed more than 500 women IN
terested in off-farm jobs. This
caused local clothing plant to
expand, increasing its number Of
employees from 100 to more than
800.
4. A number of families each
grow and market a half acre Of
strawberries for additional in
come.
5. Local merchants conduct a
monthly trade day awards program
featuring a registered dairy cow
as first prize.
6. Many families increased their
income and improved their living
by using information that reach
ed them through Balanced Farm
and Home Planning and rural conf
munity clubs, both assisted pri-
marily by Extension. In every
community, the results are seen IN
better dairy herds, improved graz
ing, higher crop yields, modern
milking barns, home gardens and
better homes.

Coleman said the legislatures
refusal to go along with his pro-
gram to rewrite the 1890 consti-
tuition "leaves this administration
with nothing left to do but three
things:
II. Do a good job of housekeep-
ing in general.
"2. Do all we can in light of the
present conditions to improve the
industrial situation and make the
agricultural and industrial board
as effective as possible.
80. Preserve the peace and quiet
between the races during the re-
naming 20 months which has ex-
listed for the previous % months
of this Administration"
The Governor said his present
intentions still are to seek a seat
in the state House Of Representa-
tives from Choctaw county in 1869.
Reports are he may the run for
house speaker against incumbent
speaker Walter Sillers of Bolivar
county, who led the opposition
which killed Coleman's constitu-
tional revision plans.
Coleman, back in the capital
after two weeks including attend
ance at the national governors con-
ference in Florida, announced he
will call the Sovereignty Commits
sion into session soon, that the
Building Commission will meet
next Wednesday, and that the
A&I board also probably will meet
next week.
The Sovereignty Commission, the
states official watchdog agency
over segregation, has been with
out a director since the resigna-
ton last winter of Rep. Ney Gore
Of Quitman county.
Coleman also announced he will
name members of the new board
of Public Contractors before the
midnight Wednesday deadline un-
der a 1868. legislative act which
abolished the old board.
He expressed belief the budget
will be substantially balanced" in
July 1860, the end of the next BIZ
ennium, but declined "to indulge in
any credibility csontest with Mr..
Golding." He referred to claims
by State Auditor Boyd Golding, an
expected candidate for governor
next year, that the states revenue
outlook has been underestimated.

Isl ,400,0O0). Some of that is to
be passed along in grants to local
chiefs for local projects.
The heart of the system will be
the 1875 local authorities, each COM
posed of a hereditary chief or
headman and his council. Most of
the council members will be ap-
pointed, but a few will be elected
by taxpayers.
Chief Subject To Checks
In the ancient structure of the
Nguni tribes, the chief ruled with
the advice of a council, which inn
posed some checks on his power.
1t is this method that. is being re-
vived, after long period of decay,
with some modern trimmings
added.
To fit them for the task, the
Government is building colleges
for heirs to craftsmanship and the
sons Of prominent headmen. There
is also a training program for
chiefs currently in office. By next
year they are to be responsible for
their own local budgets in the
Transkei.
The Government appears to rec
ognize that it is thus giving power
to the most conservative element
of the African community in the
reserves. But the Minister of Ma
tive Affairs, DR.. Hendrix F. YER
woerd, has rejected as "ludicrous
and malicious" the charge that the
object is to turn Africans back to
primitive state.
DR.. Verwoerd contends that
Western methods of administration
would lead Africans to make more
demands for complete political
equality with whites, which, he
says, would eventually bring about
nom European domination"
