LEGION ADOPTS 5-YEAR PROGRAM
 AT C0Nv ENT|0N
Child Welfare Program Resolution Among Many
 Approved by Legion

A five-year program for better ment of health and other con- ditions and for the protection of children in the Territory was one of the most important of 13 res- olutions adopted by the American Legion, Department of Alaska, at its annual convention held in Petersburg last month.
 This program was drafted by the Department Child Welfare con- mittee of the Legion and its Aux Hilary units in conjunction with the National Welfare Committee of the National Organization. A pam phlet setting forth the program in full has been printed and dis tributed to each of the posts and Auxiliary units in the Territory.
 Co-Operate With Others
 The Departments plan calls for cooperation with other organi- zations interested in child well fare in the Territory. The first step set forth is an educationial movement designed to inform mem- bers of the Legion and Auxiliary and all other citizens of the real conditions pertaining to Alaskan children. This will entail an in- tensive study of the Territory for the purpose of obtaining the best available information from all sour- ces regarding child health and other matters affecting their well fare.
 In each post and Auxiliary or ganization there will be created a committee to maintain contact with each other in carving on this work. All data gathered will be assembled for distribution to interested agen- cies. Services of welfare wirkers will be emitted in every community. The Legionnaires will cooperate with the Boards of Children's Guardians throughout the Ter ritory.
 The Legion will bend it's efforts toward obtaining a public health service for all schools maintained by the Territory, and, also, by the Federal Government. It will con- tinue its efforts in the interest of community recreational facilities.
 Understanding Is Needed
 The program concludes with the statement:
 Tt is recognized that these im- provements for children in the Ter ritory can come only through en- frightened citizenship and whole some community spirit, and an understanding and appreciation of the community responsibility to children, and to this end the Ameri- can Legion Department Child Well fare Committee of Alaska and the National Child Welfare Committee of the American Legion pledge their service and support and enlists the cooperation and aid of all other organizations and individuals in- terested in the welfare of children"
 The program and plan of action will be submitted by Alaska dele gates to the Detroit National Con- vention next month.
 Other Resolutions
 Most of the other resolutions were largely occupied with matters concerning the veteran organization. One recommended that the Ameri-
