First Purebred Herd
Of Hereford Cattle
Brought to Alaska
SEATTLE, UP)—What is said to
be the first herd of purebred
Hereford cattle to be sent to Al
aska will be loaded on an Alaska
Steamship Co. freighter today.
The herd consists of 10 heifers
and one bull. They come from the
Hudspeth Land and Livestock Co.,
Prineville, Ore., and are con
signed to Mr. and Mrs. John S.
Seeman, of Palmer. They’ll be
unloaded at Seward.
A representative of the Ameri
can Hereford Association said
that the records show registered
Hereford bulls have been sent
north before but never a complete
herd.
Patrons of the first cafeteria had

service restaurant was the New

ed for men only in 1885.

ROYAL
CLARENCE RHODE;
SCHOLARSHIP AT
U. OF A. BY RICHFIELD
The Richfield Oil Corp., has an
nounced the establishment at the
University of Alaska of the Clar
ence J. Rhode-Richfield Fellow
ship for the 1959-60 academic
year.
The fellowship would be award
ed to a graduate or undergraduate
student in the university’s Wild
life Management Department. It
honors the late Rhode, regional
director of sport fish and wildlife
in Alaska at the time he was
lost in a plane crash in the
Brooks Range last year.
The $500 award, presented to
the university* by Everett Horn,
fish and wildlife administrator
for Richfield, was established to
encourage wise use and manage
ment of Alaska’s resources.” Horn
expressed the hope that “this
scholarship will encourage stu
dents to pursue careers in re
sources management,” and added,
“We are pleased that it will honor
a man who devoted his life-long
efforts to this field.”
Richfield, in addition to the fel
lowship donated $100 to the uni
versity ‘t‘o help defray operating
costs of the Wildlife Maangement
Department.”
Medical Milestones
New Antibiotic Hits “Ringworm” Infections
Chances are good that you have, or will have, one of the so-called
“ringworm” infections. It is estimated that 50 to 90 per cent of our
population suffers one of these skin infections to some degree during
their lifetimes.
While no statistics, are available, since these infections are not
reportable diseases and many <
people prefer self-treatment, it
is believed that upwards of 10,
000,000 people in this country
alone now suffer from some form
of ringworm.
You may be surprised to learn
that what is commonly called
“athlete’s foot” is a ringworm
infection. These fungi-caused in
fections also occur on the scalp,
face, body and nails. In addition
to causing great discomfort, they
can be extremely embarrassing,
especially on the scalp, where
hair is usually lost in unsightly
patches.
Self-treatment with easy-to
obtain powder*, ointments and
solutions is seldom successful,
and can be dangerous, since you
. run the risk of irritating the
infected area and possibly caus->
ing a more serious* infection.
Medical examinaton should be
had as soon as you contract one
of these skin infections.
One effective test the doctor
has for determining the presence
of fungus infection on the scalp
is the Wood’s light test, which is
black light. In a darkened room
and under this light fungi will
glow.
The doctor now has available
a new antibiotic, Fulvicin, that
clears up most of the ringworm
infections in weeks to a few
months, depending on type and
severity. It is taken orally and
like other antibiotics is available
only on prescription.
In one case studied a 67-year
old woman who had ringworm
of the scalp since she was seven
was cured within weeks by the
new drug.
More boys than girls have
scalp ringworm, probably due to
their shorter hair, more contact
during play and possibly barber’s
shears. It can also be picked up
t-;
from the back of theatre seats, '
and certain forms are carried on
dogs and cats.
Athlete’s foot is highly unpre
dictable and one should always
take certain precautions to pre
vent it. Wear perforated shoes
whenever possible, dry feet well
and use a mild foot powder, never
wear wet socks and it is best to
wear cotton or wool socks, since
they absorb perspiration better
than the synthetic fabrics.
If, despite your best precau
tions, you do get a ringworm
infection, your doctor might pre
scribe the new antibiotic, made
available by Sehering Corpora
tion. This is the first successful
oral treatment ever developed for
superficial fungus infections.
Fungi (which are microscopic
plants) live on the keratin in the
dead cells of the skin. These dead
cells are constantly being dis
carded, but the invading fungi
somehow manage to stay on the
skin. The antibiotic apparently
comes from within and in some
way not yet explained makes the
keratin unusable as food for the
fungi.
