EVERGREEN BOWL

With school out Juneau again is fortunate to have supervised playground has had for several seasons Evergreen Bowl, an ideal spot is again the center of directed play for the ctys youngsters as result of the cooperaed effort of the School Board and the City Council Civic organizations ralying to the support of the idea and the Chamber of Con- nerce has now under consideration giving some financial assistance to make the activities there more attractive for the children.
 There are few things in the city which will pay greater dividends to the community in the long run than well supervised play for the growing youngsters Without many of the facilities for youth activity to be found in like cities in the States such swimming pools. YMC.A. and other club activities, Juneau has only Evergreen Bowl to offer the children diver sion But it is available and is being made of it. Each year competent person is there to supervise the activity This year it is Kenneth Ferguson of the school staff
 Under these favorable conditions, which the School Board and City Council attempting to improve each summer Juneau children and parents should cooperate It isn't necessary for the youngsters to play on the school grounds during the vacation period when the Bowl is for their pleasure. They better off participating in supervised play at the Bowl than wandering about the streets seeking their own diversion. There, contests are conducted awards made in nourishing the spirit of competition activity for boys and girls of practically all ages.
 Juneau is fortunate in having such place. We should take advantage of it.

Relief has been built up as the bugaboo halng natural recovery processes. It may be major factor in some Of the larger cities but in this respect Alaska is fortunate
 The Territory, like many of the States, is not free from relief but our problem in the north is a small one in comparison and it would be smaller if it were not for the influx of persons without funds to the Territory who finally, in too many cases. wind up on the relief rolls Such situation prevailed this being relieved as seasonal employment gets underway. There are however, in Alaska elsewhere certain number of unfortunates who are chased unemploy abes. These must be taken care of.
 At the present time, due to unforeseen circum- stances mainly of the relief rolls mounting through the influx of persons from the Outside relief payments have been stopped by the Welfare office due to lack of funds The $133O00 which the Territorial Legis- lature set aside for the biennium has been spent. The next Legislature meets again in January little more than six months away To plug the gap the Board of Public Welfare is negotiating bank loans to handle the deficit until the Legislators convene in their regular biennial session.

This flag was not an official flag of the U. s. Government but a novel idea conceived by R. L. Quesser ot Cleveland who had two sons at war. He designed this flag to symbolic the fact that his sons were away in their country's service. It had taken such a firm root in popular sentiment that it was practically of ficially recognized.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: MY brother
has two children. one Q boy Of 8.
Their mother deserted them about two
years ago and they are being boarded
out and not properly taken care Of. I
want to adopt the boy. I have been
with him great deal Of his life and
we are devoted to each other, but my
husband objects on the grounds that
the boy is old enough to remember his
father and that will make q difference
in his feelings toward US. What do
you think! MRS. 8. J, W.
Answer:
I think it would be an ideal arrange
ment and that you would all be very
happy in it. Ties Of blood mean little
to children. They love those who are
good to them. And in taking this child
you would know its hereditay, and that
is an advantage that few foster par
ents have. DOROTHY DIX.
