IS IT ECONOMY?

Few worse disasters have occurred in this coun- try than the school building blast in Texas which killed 455 children and teachers Those of us far away from the never will be able to grasp the full terror of that terrible tragedy But will have tendency to rekindle in most of us that nat ura feeling to be watchfu for the and safety of children. Not only their and safety physically but mentally to that they have every advantage and opportunity to become upright intel ligent men and women
 To do that. it is of course necessary to promote the facilities by which they may get these advantages and in this connection at the present moment in Alaska the matter of transportation for school children is uppermost It has been pointed out by those versant with conditions that the children of the Col onists in Matanuska, well adjacent to Juneau may be deprived of the advantages of an education because under the banner of economy it has been decided that the Territory afford to supply the transportation costs
 Needless to say there is parent in the Texas catastrophe who would have sacrificed his or her child for $65000 the amount the Territory is saving by cutting out transportation. We wonder if the eral hundred children in Alaska who going to be deprived of education through lack of trans portation facilities not worth the expenditure of $65 900?

Bay but they all pale into insigncance as the dog catcher keeps rounding up Fidos Some of us are protesting in no uncertain terms and there IS indication that the courts may decide the authority of the City Council to pass control of our pets On the whole it's a healthy situation It shows that the good old voice of the people" the Congressmen are always talking about isn't dead yet and the spirit of independence is just as virile when the fore fathers used to shoot turkeys off Plymouth Rock
 But while the battle warm, and occasion ally personal the spirit in which the thing is done it strikes us, is worthy of notation. The Council passed an ordinance eashing dogs with which great many did not agree Monday morning when the new regulation went into effect there wasn't dog on the street without a leash Those who most vigorously opposed the ordinance revealed they good sports by keeping their dogs tied up leading them around on a rope or chain The owners of those dogs who got into trouble with the dogcatcher it should be noted paid their dollar fine, the ordinance pro- vides if under protest. There direct defiance of constituted authority But there was and is a question about how that authority can go There's the rub That is the reason Juneau is going to have a lively interesting spring with touch of canine splendor in the air.

Rv HENRY AVERTTI

Raleigh, Jan. 22.-The child labor
law introduced in the Senate Thurs
day is designed to give North Caro-
lina's children adequate protection
whether or not the Federal child labor
amendment is adopted, in the opinion
of Mrs. E. L. Mckee, only woman
member of the upper house.
Frankly skeptical Of the amend
ments advantages and convinced it
has little or no chance to be ratified
in North Carolina, Mrs. Mckee is at
tempting to put the State in the list
of those which have enacted the most
enlightened and humane laws on the
subject of employment of minors.
If differs from the present North
Carolina law principally in that it
raises the minimum age for employ
ment from IA to 16; yet it retains the
same provisos which permit young
sters to distribute newspapers, pc
riodicals and do certain other types
of work outside school hours.
Children from IA to 16 are too
young to be employed in industry,
