sion was devoted to discussion of
plans for relief of physical handl-
caps existing among the school chill
1ren as revealed by the physical eX-
animation held in the schools the

The Red Gross voted at the Febru-
airy meeting to take care OF children
needing attention whose parents are
unable 10 pay for medical care, but
as the demands for relief are heavy
and the Red Cross funds are limited.

Alaska Division. l. S. Bureau OF Ed
ucation, and ask for the cooperation
a. the Bureau in extending relief TO
IiIdreu of Native blood. Mr.. We
ner generously shipped all the re

they be dispensed through Red Cross
aveneies for Native medical reileI.

upplies to DR.. Jones and has agreed
