Civic and Military Authorities Cooperate to Rid Alaska
cf Disease—Campaign Begins in Ketchikan by Closing
All Houses of 111 Fame—Some Volunteer to Go Into
Legitimate Work and Help in National Emergency.
KETCHIKAN — Combining a personal re’nabilita
t. n program with a vice clean-up. city officials on July
30 ordered pr -stititutes to leave town within three
weeks but. :n cooperation with federal agencies, offer
c-ceupational training in legal pursuit' for those women
c- siring it. Two women already have signed up and
2 i thers are considering offers for training in steno
graphy, beauty parlor work and other such positions,
officials said. Those accepting will be sent to enroll in
federal security agency classes in Seattle. Prostitutes
in other cities will be made similar offers.
The women had been living in Ketchikan's notorious
Creek Street bordellos, once rendezvous of Pacific
Coast rum runners during prohibition days. The gov
ernment and Ketchikan city officials ordered the houses
of ill fame to close and dispose of their furnishings.
Alarming Increase .
The evacuation was ordered- to curb an alarming in
crease in incidence of cases of venereal disease. Ketch:
kan is believed to have been selected as a “test case."
and it is reported that the same procedure will even
tually be followed in all Alaska cities, the entire Terri
t .ry to be cleared of prostitutes.
The three weeks “grace period,” it was explained by
Juanita Johnston, city patrolwoman, is to give the
women time to straighten up their affairs, arrange for
disposition of furnishings — and make up their minds
whether they wish to remain and turn to a legal means
of making a living, accept training in Seattle for an
other professon under the rehabilitation program of
the federal security agency, or leave town.
‘‘Prostitutes are human beings. We can stamp our
their diseases but we can’t stamp them out; therefore
we want to rehabilitate them if possible. We don’t
have the facilities here, but in Seattle, under the FSA
program, they can learn stenogi aphic work, beauty
parlor work, any of dozens of professions, with no one
but themselves knowing of their past,” Miss Johnston
said.
“In that one week the clinic showed its worth. And
it's not to the discredit of the local doctors, either.
They cooperated in its operation which permitted them
to make fool-proof examinations they were not able to
make individually in their private offices.
“Why are we closing Ketchikan's 15 bawdy houses?
Well, one answer to that question could be that if we
didn't, the federal government would—and soon. But
the truth of it is this: If their venereal diseases are
sabotaging the manpower of the armed forces, they
also are sabotaging the manpower of civilians — the
fishermen, the loggers, the mill-workers and other
producers, without whose support there would be no
fighting forces.
“Our newly established clinic, with its improved
technique, has disclosed that venereal disease is pre
valent in Ketchikan.
L. a. Agencies Cooperate
‘ We are repressing prostitution in cooperation with
the U. S. public health service. Territorial health de
partment. federal security agency, and the army and
navy," Miss Johnston continued. “All agencies involv
ed say prostitution in defense areas must go.
"And there’s no reason to fea.r that there will be any
sudden outbreaks of criminal assaults after the houses
of prostitution are closed. Generally, in every area
where steps have been taken to wipe out prostitution,
there has been criticism because of fears of sex crimes.
The records of those areas indicate just the opposite.”
Outlawing Weeds
New York and Chicago, the largest cities in the
nation, this summer outlawed as public nuisances,
weeds which spread hay fever and otherwise menace
health and a statement recently by American Medical
Association said beneficial results are noticeable.
In New York, the City Board of Health designated a
period during which owners, leasees or occupants of
property, must destroy all ragweed on their premises;
•f they do not comply, the weeds are removed and the
property is assessed for the cost.
In Chicago, owners, leasees, tenants, occupants jor
persons in control of the ground where noxious weeds
grow, are responsible for destroying them. They are
ordered to pull them up, not merely cut them down.
The weeds must be eradicated twice a year, once be
tween July ] and 15 and once between August 1 and 15.
Ha - ie\. ri c nplaiints in New Nork and Chicago have
been greatly reduced, the Medical Association says.

SEATTLE — Seattle Marine
Insurance Underwriters said
they have reduced the war risk

Henderson ruled recently that
prices on commodities shipped

shew corresponding reductions.
The underwriters said that the
reduction amounts to one and
