RELIEF FUNDS
 OF TERRITORY
 ARE DEPLETED
Fund for Relief of Destitu. ton Totally Exhausted,
 Says Governor

No further relief of destitution can be extended by the Territorial Government from its regular fund for that purpose until the Legisla- ture meets in March, it was made public today by Gov. George A. Parks. The fund for the current biennium is entirely exhausted and can not be replenished except by direct Legislative appropriation.
 The 1929 Legislature appropriated $15000 for relief of destitution for the two-year period that ends March 31. Today there was a nomi- nal balance of $470 in the fund but outstanding bills are sufficient to wipe that out, the Governor said. There is no authority to incur any additional obligations.
 This does not necessarily mean that no official relief can be had for the next two months. The Fed .eral courts in each of the Divisions has a fund which may be applied to needy cases. While this is not large, 1t is believed to be adequate to take care of the most urgent cases that may arise.

CHILD'S CLINIC TO BE CREATED
 BY LOCAL UNIT
Legion Auxiliary Here An nounces Plans for Child's
 Welfare Program

In furthering the Child Welfare Program of the American Legion and Auxiliary, the local Auxiliary unit will conduct child clinics in Juneau, it was announced today by Mrs. Mildred Clark, Secretary. The Dugout, Legion headquarters, will be utilized as the clinic hall.
 The first of the series will be held Friday, January 23, between and 4 pm, Mrs. Clark said. Miss Mill dred Keaton, R. N, who has had a wide experience in this kind of work, has offered her services to make the examinations, and her of fer was gladly accepted.
 Ordinarily the clinics which are sponsored and conducted under the auspices of veteran organizations are limited to children of eX-service men and women. However, on &C., count of the absence of a regular
 clinic service here, the Auxiliary has opened the local clinic to all children. The examinations will be made without charge. All parents are cordially invited to bring or send their children to the Dugout next Friday afternoon, it was an- nounced by Mrs Clark.
 Throughout the country, Legion Auxiliary units are carrying on ox- tensive work for the benefit of children of veterans. In addition to the clinics, various other services are performed. Total orphans are provided with suitable homes as preferable to placing them in insti- tutions; food and clothing are fur nished children of needy families; in communities where no lunchroom is available at schools and unem- ployment is serious, noon meals are provided for all children requiring it; at Christmas time, the Auxiliary played Santa Claus on wide scale; and at numerous places all over the country, playgrounds for children have been established and are being maintained

MILD WINTER IN 10

"Old timers have many thrilling
stories to tell of the fierce blizzards
Of the old days, but there are other
stories too," says the Cottonwood
County Citizen. "It is possible that
by the time this appears in print we
may have some snow but as it is writ
ten the ground is still bare and the
weather mild.
"Dr. A. Noble, one of our pioneer
subscribers tells us that just So years
ago the early settlers had such a
winter as this. In the winter of
1879 they enjoyed the same snow
less, beautiful winter that we have
had. Moreover, when we asked Mr..
Noble what time of the winter it fin
ally did snow, he said that it did not
snow at all, and that the first mois-
ture came on July 5, and from then
on there was too much. We hope that
history does not repeat itself this
year.
