PUBLIC HEALTH TALK
MADE BY CLEMENTS
A special meeting of the Nome
Health Council was held Mon-'
day evening. After the usual
procedure of business, Mr. Clem
ents of the Territorial Board of
Health was called on for a few
remarks on sanitation. He stated
that he was glad to be back in
Nome and that he would try to;
make official business trips here
at least three times a year. There
are thirteen other incorporated
towns in Alaska that require vis-1
itation- and with the limited fin
ances and time, it was impossible
to make more than three calls to
each, in a year.
Going on with the discussion
of sanitation, it was just 22 years
ago this month, that this country,
under the leadership of President
Wilson, declared itself against
Germany, and it was necessary :
to enlist and draft many men
into the army. At that time the
Medical Profession found to their
susprise that 33% of those exam
ined were medically unfit for
service. And then, in gathering j
all these people together, epidem
ics of infiuenze and typhoid rag
ed. Theodore Roosevelt claimed
that during the Spanish Amerie
an War he lost more men from
typhoid fever and disentery than
from bullets. Public health prob
iems faced the various towns, al
though public health and correc-!
tions in sanitation methods have!
been traced back to the time of
Moses.
Public heallth is primarily ed-:
i national and the people must be
willing to accept it as such, even
for their own good. Public health
law’s are no good unless they are
enforced. Dr. Snow’ in England
was forced to take the handle off
one of the public water pumps
in order to prevent people from !
drinking the condemned water.
Public health work in Alaska
Is confronted with a number of
problems, one being the scarcity
of population as to the large
area of country. This makes the
P capita cost of public heallth
much higher than elsewhere, al
i!v sh the public health has no
•nvw-.etary value, as it is intang-1

ible. The value of public health
service is shown in the preven
tion of contagious disease by giv
ing vaccines and immunizations.
This was proven recently at Jun
eau, in stamping out the diph
theria epidemic which threaten
ed that city as well as the whole
of Alaska. However, in the pre
vention of disease, the fight
should start before, not after the
disease has its hold.
Regarding Nome, Mr. Clements
stated that he had visited all the
food establishments and found
them in fair condition. To im
prove the sanitary conditions of
the beer parlors, he insisted up
on hot and cold running water
at each bar. Upon looking over
the water companies, he found
that it was advisable to put cov
ers on the water cans during de
livery, especially during the sum
mer. The scavenger wagons
Joseph Martinek (above), form
er Prague editor, is shown as he
told a mass meeting of Chicago
Czechs and Slovaks that Czecho
slovakia was driven to “our dis
grace by English lords cooperat
ing with the reactionary forces
of Europe.” Martinek recently
fled to the United States from his
native country.

must be done so that none of the
contents leak a rough to the
streets.
I Public Health is st:ll young in
Nome and we are doing every
thing that can be done, but it
will have to be taken slowly. It
is a case of teaching the public
one thing at a time until they
have c imbed the ladder of san
itary success.
In closing, before communism,
nazism, dtm cracy or any other
ferm cf government can reign
over the world, we need good
hoaith and heal'hy places to live.
After some d ceussion ar.d an
swering of many questions, the
meeting adjourned.
