July 4th Committee
Plans Groundwork For
Statehood Celebration
JUNEAU — Friday evening,
October 10, the Fourth ef July
Committee held its first meeting
for the 1959 celebration, in the
Iris Room of the Baranof Hotel.
The meeting was led by Joe Alba
yalda, chairman of last year’s
committee, and was attended by
representatives from many of
Juneau’s civic organizations.
The main business of the meet
ing was to plan the groundwork
for the official Statehood cele
bration combined with the Fourth
of July in 1959, which already
promises to be the largest and
most colorful festival Juneau has
ever seen.
The Sheriffs Posse of Contra
Costa County, California, which
receives 500 invitations a year
for their annual 4th of July trip,
decided to come to Juneau this
year to help welcome the 49th
State into the Union. The mem
bers of the posse will come with
their horses, whose silver trap
pings alone are valued at half a
million dollars, and will be a
part of the Juneau 4th of July
parade.

Health Dept. Report
Shows 22 Patients
Hospitalized With TB
JUNEAU — A report on the tu
berculosis control program for the
quarter ending September 30,
1958, shows only 22 patients hos
pitalized for the disease under
auspices of the Alaska Depart
ment of Health, according to Dr.
Harry V. Gibson, commissioner
of health.
All but seven of these have been
in the hospital less than a year,
Dr. Gibson said, reflecting the
improvement in modern methods
of treatment of tuberculosis as
well as active case finding which
discovers the disease in its early
stages so that the patient requires
less hospitalization and treatrqent.
Of the^ seven, five were hospital
ized in 1957, one in 1956 and one
in 1951.
Twelve of the patients are in
the new Wesleyan Hospital in
Seward, part of which was con
verted for santorium use upon
closure of Seward Sanatorium. It
is the policy of the Alaska De
partment of Health to use Alas
ka hospitals for its patients, Dr.
Gibson said, except in cases where
it is more feasible to use Outside
hospitals. Patients may be sent to
a hospital Outside if their fam
ilies reside there, or if they require
special treatment which is not
available in Alaska, or if com
parable service can be obtained at
substantially less cost than in an
Alaska hospital. Of the tubercu
losis patients currently hospital
ized, three are at Riverton hos
pital and seven at Firland sana
torium in Seattle.
