In The Battle For Health
Goad health is one of the prized assets of man, and constant vig
ilance must be kept to maintain it. Yet with all care sickness and
the attendant mental anguish do come upon us, and it is then that
we most appreciate the means at our disposal to combat them.
Two of those means are in the public eye this week.
The first is the Griffin Memorial hospital, which this week is cel
ebrating its first, proud anniversaiy. For a year now it has admin
istered to the ill and mended the broken. Prosaic records cannot
begin to tell the stories of sacrifice and toil and worry that have
gone toward the accomplishment of its work; nor can the records
tell the happiness known in many hearts because of its presence in
the community.
May this first birthday be like the first birthday of man—merely
a beginning—with the great futu e ahead!
The second means is the Public Health Nursing service, which
was granted financial aid by the council this week in view of the
great work it is doing. The story is reported elsewhere in this issue,
and merely a glance at the figures will impress anyone. Day in, day
out, in rain or clear, in hovel or house, succor has been given the
•sick by the hundreds. They, too have made their appointed round.
The Griffin Memorial hospital and the Public Health Nursing
service are both vital factors in the constant battle for health.
Thanks are due them from each and everyone.

Gruening Article
Washington (JP) — Westem
frontiers or the United States
reach far across the Pacific to
the China seas, ' says Ernest
Gruening, governor of Alaska
and former director of the Divis
ion of Territories and Insular
Pospess'ons in the Interior de
partment.
He told of shortening the dis
tances across the Pacific to ‘ chan
nel width and declared “we can
not wait to defend ourselves at
Hawaii, at San Diego or at any
other proximal point.
Writing in ‘ The Philippines,”
a monthly magazine published
in Washington, Gruening contin
ued.
“We cannot afford to permit
aggressor nations gradually and
progressively to attack us. We
must not permit them to take
the Philippines.
“The Filipinos have reiterated
their loyalty to the American
flag, which is proof to the axis
nations that the perils of demo
cratic life are preferable - to one
people at least - to being under
totalitarian ‘protection’.
“In Alaska,' the growing milit
ary development has made it
possible for this territory to play
its proper role in the defense of
the Pacific. Today there is gen
eral realization that the United,
States must be defended from
Alaska, from Hawaii and from
wherever else it is necessary.
“Alaskan residents w’ho in
clude a considerable number of
Filipinos, will do their part in
whatever dangers may come as a
result of our enlarged role in na
tional defense. People of every
locality, territory or nation must
realize at last that the defense
•f one is the defense of all.”
