We Can All Help
Plans to rid Kodiak of rats and erase a dangerous
menace to the health of every resident will be made tomorrow
at 3 pm when territorial officials, representatives of the Ko
diak Health and Welfare Council, city council and others meet
at the city hall.
Volunteer workers are needed to carry out a successful
extermination program on the large rat population. Here is an
opportunity for everyone to help, materially, in a campaign
that is of benefit to every man, woman and child in Kodiak.
We cannot expect the territorial officials to do all of the
work on this project. The field surveys made here during the
past months reveal a grave threat to the health of every one.
Dr. W. H. Gaub, U. S. Public Health Service representative,
told the city council Wednesday that 30 cases of Weil’s:
disease, a form of jaundice, have been known in Kodiak. He
did not give figures on the number of suspected cases.
Weil’s disease is carried by rats and other animals.
Laboratory tests conducted revealed that the majority of
cases here were caused by rats.
The city council has several hundred pounds of rat
poison in readiness for the “baiting program’’. James A.
Westbrook and E. K. Day from, the Arctic Health Research
Center in Anchorage arrived this week to help plan the
campaign.
The territory has done its nart. It is up to Kodiak to
continue the program and carry it through. Attend the meet
ing tomorrow. Your help is needed.
A warranty deed from Ches
ter and Josephine Ciymer to
Donald and Emma Nye for a
part of lot 12, block 19, Kodiak
Townsite, has been recorded.
Mrs. Clarence Dizney and'
daughter, Louise, returned to
Kodiak Wednesday after,
spending several weeks in the
states.
