LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be reaRzed.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

IS
CHICAGO, March 28. (/P)— Chica

Health Service from Dr. Herman N.
Bundesen, Commissioner of Health
in Chicago.
Dr. Bunresen, in his statement,
pointed out that eating the cooked
meat of an infected rabbit does not
cause the disease in humans, but
that tularemia, “which is a severe
sickness,” occurs in man when hand
ling the diseased animals when there
are cuts or other breaks in the skin.
To prevent the disease he advocated
theuse of rubber gloves when dress

the meat of wild rabbits.

of repopulation propaganda, much of
it by bachelors, old maids and rich
persons with few descendants.
