Public Assistance

ally in regard to verification OF age
and citizenship, it has been neces-
sary to return applications to prac-
tlcally nearly every county for cor
rection.
Appeals
After an award has been granted
the applicant, if dissatisfied, has a
right to appeal to the State Board
OF Allotments and Appeal whose de-
cision is final.
Property Qualifications
The State Board of Allotments
and Appeal has not as yet set up
any standards for property limita-
lions. The Welfare Departments
have been instructed to base the
program on need and at the same
time make the Welfare Boards in
each of the 100 counties responsible
for saying who is eligible and the
size of the grant The Boards of
Commissioners have a right to re-
view the grants in the event they
desire to do so. It is conceivable,
however, that a person who is of
age, say IS, and owns property val
ued at four or five hundred dol
lars is eligible to participate in the
assistance program.
1t has been stated before that the
purpose of the program is not to
take over the responsibility of peo-
pie who are caring for their rela-
tives in comfortable homes but for
thos people whose income is not
sufficient to maintain decent
standard of living. 1t is not antici-
pated that the program will be
abused.
Eligibility Requirements
There are in the law specific eli
gibility requirements and the ap-
plicant for Old Age Assistance and
Aid to Dependent Children must not
only state those items clearly and
accurately but must give the Case
Worker verification of those items.
In verifying statements of appli-
cant Case Worker must give source
of either authentic
documentary evidence or sworn af-
fidavits. 1t is necessary to definitely
verify for Old Age Assistance the
age, citizenship, (including birth
place., residence, domicile, and need
and for Aid to Dependent Children
age, residence, kinship, domicile,
and need.
It is essential that the applications
be properly prepared and give clear
cut and complete evidence of eligi-
bility since it is only through that
evidence that the State and Federal
Governments can participate in the
payment of awards.
Administrative Cost
It is the intention of the State
Board of Allotments and Appeal to
administer the program just as eff
ficiently and economically as is pos
sible to do. 1t has been necessary to
increase the personnel in the vari-
Gus County Welfare Departments in
order to handle the program effici-
emily and without delay to the ap-
plicants. The 100 counties spent for
their welfare departments last year
$3.50, 1887 plus 100000 from Fed
eral funds spent by the state in

Commerce last year when Juneau's
case was presented at hearing
here before Col. H. j. Wild, Army
District Engineer in Seattle.

case as made by the citizens of Ju-
neau at that time should place the

harbor as financial investment as

out and that should have consid-

was found, can be constructed at a
cost far lower than other sites pro-

that the traffic would not stand

WHY THE SPEED?

1t shouldn't be necessary for the Chief of Police
to issue repeated warnings and make arrests of auto
mobile drivers in order to enforce the speed
limit Every motorist in this community should know
enough to observe the law and protect his own neck
and life of others The fact is that most of them do
but there are a few who have heavy foot on the
Raston points out that fast driving in the city has
become menace.
Why any one has to speed through the streets OF
this comparatively small city is beyond logical under
standing After driving furiousy through the city
the only place the motorist go is to the end OF
the road At moderate speed every foot of road out
side of the city proper can be covered in something
over an hour. Almost any pedestrian can walk from
one city limits to another in at the most 80 minutes
and it should not take automobile more than five
minutes with careful driving stops at intersections
and keeping within the 2O-mie an hour speed limit.
Then why the speed?
1t is Just little like the chap in jail who wanted
to know the time and his friend replied what differ
ence does it makes you aren't going anywhere
Motorists in Juneau are going anywhere they
can't get to by automobile in few minutes by mod
crate and safe driving.
Again why the hurry? Why jeopardize your life
and the life of others about the city just because some
manufacturer guaranteed the car would make 10
miles an hpur? He didn't expect you to try and prove
it city street

Air Aids in Alaska
Seattle acknowledgement

(seattle Post-Intelligencer)
The search for the missing Russian flyers in the
North Polar region should direct attention to the
need for better safeguards for own flyers in our
own Northern territory.
Federal agencies properly pressing their pro-
gram of providing for air safety in the United States
Unfortunately that program has not yet reached Al
aska where aviation is a primary means OF trans
lportation.
A comparison between what may be called the
most isolated section of the United States and like
area in Alaska provides a striking contrast.
Between Fort Worth, Texas and Los Angeles
the bureau of air commerce has some 500 men on
the ground to facilitate air transport At both ends
of the run are first class airports with radio beams
and between them four government weather
bureaus periodically broadcasting at short intervals
and providing special reports at the request of any
pilot Beacons established at intervals of approx
mately ten miles and emergency landing fleldS are
twenty miles apart.

on the southern route could readily find aid and would

he would face the threat of death from cold in Win

In addition to the growth of aviation in Alaska

other European nations are carrying on their own

LOAN SHARK PICTURE
is INTERESTING IF TRUE

IF YOU can permit yourself to be-
l. lieye Il Promise to Pay" the new
motion picture at the Metropolitan, 1t
probably will prove no end exciting.
If you do not believe it, it will be pretty
diScouraging, not to mention boring.
Last night we did not believe it. We
would not believe it again tonight. In
fact we wouldn't believe it even if
it were true.
81 Promise to Pay" is about the loan
shark racket Some one in Hollywood
was very angry with the loan shark
racket Whoever it was vented his
spleen at the loan shark racket in
motion picture detailing the adventures
of one Eddie Lang, who borrowed $50
to take the wife and kids on vacation
and then discovered he owed interest
at the rate of 20 per cent week.
After being beaten up by thugs for
trying to escape, Eddie talked TO the
district attorney. which made the dis
trict attorney happy as all-get-out be-
cause no loan shark victims would
talk to him before, the sissies, being
AFRAID OF DedlIISS, hluIldplHS, HluI uei
and arson which would have been in
ficted upon them by the loan shark
racketeers had they talked to the dis
trict attorney.
Chester Morris, who is cast in the
central role of this bright little item,
ought to go see the district attorney
himself, in person and not a talking
picture. One more class B picture
and he'll have a case against the cast
ing department. Someone in Holly
wood is angrier at Chester Morris than
at the loan shark racket. H. M.

one, Dut IL is not tne poignant romance
1t was, in its latest reincarnation, a
talking motion picture at Loew's
Capitol Theater, called Seventh
Heaven" The essence of the yarn
still is there, Of course, but it does
not have the good fortune to be
projected with any great skill by the
two leading characters.
This is unfortunate because you
have the feeling while watching the
picture that it would be something you
would relish If Chico and Diane were
colored with bit more feeling and
emotion. James Stewart is a film
player who has shown considerable
promise in his past performances,
but Chico seems ever beyond his
grasp. His performance is sus-
tanned one all right, but it is sustained
at the level of that sailor in Born
to Dance" and he never sheds the
light of understanding on the lad who
found love in the gutter.
CIMONE SIMON, the Diane of the
- current cinema revival of Austin
Strong's play, is better than Stewart,
but not too much. She is delectable
mink and she probably can count on
us for loyal and unending devotion,
but that cannot alter the fact her
performance in Seventh Heaven is
spotty. Sometimes she's warm and
alive Diane and sometimes her play
ing lacks the proper emotional color
and she seems almost as confused as
Stewart about the meaning of the
role.
Director Henry King has retold the
story of Seventh Heaven" with fit
ting piognancy and it has been mount
ed handsomely. But it could be ever
so much better with Chico and Diane
brought to life.
There are some good supporting
performances, incidentally, and
practically superb one by Gregory
Ratoff.
THE Capitol's stage show is pretty
much a top-notch entertainment
all the way through. It's headlined by
the best act of its kind there is and
one of the best acts of any kind in
show business, the Salici Puppets. Some
10 scenes are performed in the roper
toire of these puppets brought almost
to life by the deft fingers of the men,
bers of the Clan Salici and 10 more
would not be too many. The Marion
cite who plays the piano probably Is
