18 Ship Survivors
Stranded on Alaskan
Beach Await Rescue
Food Dropped by PIone
To Men-Efforts Planned
To Reach Them
~ the Associated Press.


SEATTLE, Dec. 15.-Eighteen sur
vivors of the stranded motor ship
Patterson, given temporary relief
yesterday when food was dropped
to them from the air, waited on the
beach at Cape Fairweather, Alaska,
today for further rescue attempts.
Two of their comrades perished
when the Patterson went aground
early Monday morning.
Rescue resources of the Far North,
used many times to aid those in
distress, will be utilized to the fullest
extent in an effort to reach the men,
Two experienced guides will be
flown from Juneau to Lituya Bay to
attempt to reach the sailors. The
guides hope to lead the party back
to Lituya, distance of 80 miles. A
plane can land in the bay, but not
on the beach.
Coast Guardsmen on the cutter
Haida, standing by the Mreckage,
watched the barometer, hoping that
the weather would moderate and
that raging seas, which have pre-
vented them from going ashore,
would subside. If weather condi-
tions permit, boat will be launched
by the cutter today and the seamen
removed by that means
Three planes dropped supplies
yesterday to the survivors after the
seamen had flown signals to the
cutter that their food supply was
getting low. Pilot Sheldon SIM
mons reported on his return to
Juneau he counted 18 men on the
beach. He dropped 500 pounds of
food and clothing. Two Navy planes
also dropped food and clothing.
In Seattle anxious families of
members of the crew of the luckless
Patterson awaited word of the res
cue. Each family was hopeful its
loved one was not one of the two
unidentified seamen who perished
In the accident.

Society Makes Annual Report

| ingly more effective service.
During the year major service was
provided for IT'S children. Minor
services were provided in one way
or another in cases involving nearly
$50 other children. OF the placement
cases, % per cent of the children are
in New Castle county, 40 per cent in
Kent, and SO per cent in Sussex. The
placements are IS per cent white and
% per cent colored; 65 per cent boys
and 35 per cent girls. Each child is
carefully studied through mental and
physical examinations and frequent
personal contacts.
The society records were COM
pletely revised so that there is now
on file the most complete chronology
cal and supervisory record of each
active case that the society has ever
had.
The society is a membership or
ganization having it's office in Dover

children in their own homes or plac-
ing them in approved foster homes

CcOntlnusd from E.rst Pare,


During the year Miss Elsie Lee
Spring joined the stan as case con-
sultant. Her many years Of practi-
cal experience in child welfare work
has enabled the society to greatly
improve its investigation, place
ment and supervisory services. A
study of every child under the care
of the society and of every foster
home in use was completed. The
visitation and supervision Of chill
dren and foster parents was devel-
Oped to a point of efficiency that was
not possible with the smaller stan
of previous years.
Rev. Joseph A. Lee of Dover was
elected to membership on the board
Of directors at the annual meeting.
The board is now functiOning ac-
lively on a monthly rather than
semi-annual basis. Mrs. A. A. Hearn,
welfare worker, and Mr.. George
Ehinger, superintendent of the Muir
phey School, both of Dover, became
advisory members of the board. Mr..
Lewis NJ Price of Smyrna was re-
elected as president of the board.
A substantial increase in financial
support made it possible for the So
ciety to double it's expenditures on
vital services to children. The so
ciety spent more for boarding care,
special aid. clothing and health ser
vice than was spent during the whole
previous ten-year period of its work.
Through membership in and con-
tact with national and regional child
welfare groups, the society is being
kept abreast of the best procedures
and developments fostering increas-
