ALASKAN VISITOR
Mrs. Sinnnnet Describes
States Struggle With TB

rates in the world. Between
the 1950-57 period the death
rate among all races was re-
duced from 174.5 to 26.5 per
100000 population.
Among the Alaskans, Eski-
mos and Indians alone, Mrs.
Simmet pointed out, it was
reduced from an appalling
654.9 to 110.5 per 100000 pop
ulation. Affording a dramat-
ic comparison is the fact
that in 1857 the rate in the
United States was only 8.4.
Behind these statistical fig
ures lies a dramatic story in
which the Research Center
played a leading role with
Alaskan territorial agencies.
Lack Of bed space for the
1000 active TB cases report
ed, plus the fact that the
native populations fear of
hospitals h a d to be over
come through education
shows the stupendouS task
medical officials faced.
Until more hospitals could
be built, patients had to be
airlifted to hospitals in the
State of Washington.
Taught At Smith
At the same time the Re-
search Center embarked on
a daring experiment which
has worked - treatment of
patients in their home viii
lagos through use of new
drugs administered by ma
tive nurses who travel the
circuit at regular intervals.
After graduating from
Mount Holyoke College, Mrs.
Simmet taught freshman hy-
giene at Smith College.
Before taking that position
however she made her first
try" for Alaska. II wanted
to get a teaching fellowship
at the University of Alaska,
she recalled. But I never
even got an answer to my
letter"
In 1943, the former Rachel
Spinney Joined the WAVES
and made her second try to
go to Alaska, asking for duty
there. But they weren't send
ing WAVES to Alaska. Again
she had to put her dream
aside.
After the war she went
with the tuberculosis Asso-
citation for a short while be-
fore joining the United States
Public Health Service.
A person with her back
ground was just what they
were looking for when the
PHS was selecting the group
to set up the Research Center
in Alaska.
Needless to say, it was Mrs.
Simmet's dream come true.

gave their first big dinner
last week end in Herbert's
Pittsburgh home, Rosewall,
since their m arriage two
years ago. Prior to that time
the house was either being
renovated or the Mays were
here or elsewhere.
Their private Viscount

friends up-the French Am

the Augusta RoSsoS and the
Conger PrattS. The Herbert
May, jr.'s of Baltimore also
flew up with them.
About 40 or so were at the
dinner in the big, gracious

columns and big gardens.

Although occasional pieces of
furniture here and there and
a new coat of paint have
been added since the former

His three boys used to have
rooms there, and so did he

Cruz, in behalf of the Filipino Com
munity, generously proffered a
taste of one small roast pig to an
audience of several hundred people.
He also introduced the numbers on
the program.
Brilliant Costumes
Mrs. Rose Salvador chose dances
which were sometimes noddingly-
familiar and at other times new
and unusual. The costuming was
brilliant. The young Filipinos who
balanced candlehght and braved
embarrassing bamboo poles We're
spotlighted in our admiration.
Other folk dancers performed wei.
though at times seemed uninspired
and hesitant. incidentally, we mis-
sed the names of the performers.
Were they omitted for want of
time?
Like others in the audience with
limited knowledge of Philippine
culture and folklore, we would have
appreciated more background in
formation on the dances Perhaps
this added information would have
spanked the dancers.
The Villain
The villain of the piece was an
eccentric monograph that not
only SOU k e d at the wrong
speed but spun the wrong record.
Nothing like stopping a dance a
quarter of the way through and
changing the record.
In spite of these hating diff
ficulties, all Filipinos can be proud
of their countrymen efforts on
Philippine Night. They can say
"mabuhay' to those responsible
organizers Naty Rubi Carlyle.
Rose Salvador and the parents Of
the young dancers. singers and
musicians, and the performers
themselves.
Perhaps next year, some live"
guitarists and mandolinists could
add authenticity to our night of

The need Of effective
word weapons" to fight
against the Communist ide-
ology was stressed by Rep
resentative Catherine May of
Washington in an address
highlighting commencement
exercises Of the Marjorie
Webster Junior College.
Representative May chose
her topic, Can You Sell the
Truth?" as the result of a
discussion with delegates to
the Atlantic Congress held in
London last June, she ex-
planned.
A group of 80 or 40 from
the various NATO nations
was talking about the war for
mems minds-freedom ver-
sus the Communist doctrine
when a Norwegian delegate
spoke up.
Il know the young people
of my country are just as
dedicated to their beliefs as
are the young Communists"
he said. But when it comes
to telling and selling the
great truth of a free way of
life I don't think they
are prepared. I am afraid a
great many of them could
not find the words"
Delegate Agrees
When he asked if this were
true Of the young people in
other countries, another dele
gate agreed: II am afraid it's
quite true, not only of our
youth, but Of our adult citi-
zens, too"
AS the delegates, one by
one, nodded in agreement,
Mrs. May recalled that she
was shocked to realize that
