Boyd Harwood Reports
Shortage of Pharmacists
Discussed At Meeting
Bovd Harwood returned from a
meeting of the Territorial Phar
macy Board which met in Juneau
earlier this week.
He reports that there is an
acute shortage of pharmacists,
stating that out of 34 graduated
l'rom the University of Washing
ton la$t year 28 were immediately
absorbed by the military services.
The b^prd has recommended
that the University of Alaska add
a school of pharmacy to their
curriculum not only to encourage
more Alaskans to take this course
but as a means of keeping the
young graduates within the ter
ritory.
Pete Olson, formerly of Golo
vin, and brother of John Olson
of Nome, was in town today.
Pete is an engineer aboard one
of the Army tugs in the roadstead.

Girl Scouts Report on
Fairbanks Encampment
The Girl Scout Committee’s re
port on the trip to Camp Clegg,
Fairbanks.
By Mary Jean Longley
and Edna Johnsen
Our ' trip to Camp Clegg was
very interesting.
One of the things we enjoyed
most was he scenery. We enjoyed
swimming and boating ur®»r the
instruction of the lifeguards.
We went on a sleep-out once.
We made our own tent and fire
place. We cooked and ate two
meals—mosquitoes and all.
We learned how to tie several
knots under the instruction of a
councilor.
Some of us learned how to lash
and make our own washstand.
In arts and crafts wV learned
how to make stationery and other
things.
There were only 24 girls there,
half the usual number, and 11
councilors. We had a very enjoy
able time at Camp Clegg.
