,hlow.
Dr. J. F. Worely, director of
the Alaska medical service of the
Bureau of Indian Affairs, came in
to Nome Friday evening, with
Pilot Sig Wien.
Dr. Worely is touring the ter
ritory. inspecting all medical ac
tivities pertaining to the natives.
He plans to go as far north as Pt.
Barrow, traveiing on the Bureau
vessel North Star, and on the re
turn trip make a lengthy stop at
the Kotzebue hospital.
He came to Nome by way of
Fairbanks and the Bethel dis
j trict, and upon his return will
visit St. Lawrence Island and the
Yukon River villages.
Lieutenant Urhane. first lieu
tenant of the U. S. Signal Corps,
; who is in charge of all the sta
tions in northwestern Alaska, re
turned today from an inspection
tour of the stations in the far
i north, and was an outgoing pas
senger aboard the PAA Electra.
The Lieutenant has been at Pt.
Barrow, the most northern sta
tion on the continent, operated
by Mr. Morgan, for the past few'
weeks, and has also insp.cted the
Kot2cbue and Nome stations.
, Considerable bad weather pre

earlier date. Lieutenant Urhane
is returning to his home offices
, in Anchorage.
The Health Council met in the
City Hall Monday evening, with
Dr. Moreom presiding as chair
man. As Dr. Haldeman, territor
ial tuberculosis specialist,and Dr.
Worely, director of the Alaska
medical service, were guests at
the meeting, the discussion cen
tered around tuberculosis, which
is the territory’s main health pro
blem
Dr. Haldeman discussed the X
ray cfiinic which he is holding
thnuout the territory. He said
that it has two main purposes—
to aid the local physicians in diag
nosing the disease in its early
stages when it is much more eas
ily over-come, and to educate the
people by placing the problem
directly before them. Further
more the survey will provide ac
curate statistics as to the preval
ency of the disease, which may
----,
I
be of value in obtaining mucn
needed hospitals and sanitoria
for its treatment.
Dr. Worely pointed oort that
the tuberculosis death rate In
the United St3ites has been re
duced from 200 per 100,000 to 60
per 100,000 in the last decade,
and that this change had been
effected, not by hospitalization of
all who suffer from the disease,
but by educating the people in
the proper care and precautions
concerning the disease. Th tiu
berau osis program being follow
ed by the territorial department
of health is chiefly educational,
and aims at teaching the natives
ito raise their standards of living,
and hence their resistance, and to
care for the diseased in such a
way as to protect other persons
who com: in contact with them
The remainder of the meeting
was spent in questions and discus
sions of the problem. September
12 was set as a tentative date for
the next meeting of the Council,
