1 report of the activities of the Al- aska Department of Public Welfare was made public last week by Rus sell c. Maynard. Director Of the De partmeut. covering the six months period April l to September 30, 1941. The report covers expenditures for Old Age Assistance. Mothers AI- lowances. Boards of Children's Guar dians, and relief.
 Under the Old Age Assistance pro gram the Department of Public Vel fare now furnishes assistance to 1.- 566 persons in the Territory with an average monthly grant Of $29.16. During the period from April 1 to September 30, I941, a total Of S269.- 638.50 was expended for Old Age Assistance. Of this amount $132.- 589.25 supplied from a Territorial fund. The Territory appropriated at its 1941 legislature the sum Of S660,- 000.00 for the 1941-43 biennium.
 During the six months ending September 30 of the 1941-43 bien- nium there was expended for gen eral relief, including medical care. $51.704.20. Of this amount SOFIA S6 was expended for other elassifi- cations Of relief. Sixty percent of the amount expended was in the form Of medical relief both in the Terri tory and Tor persons receiving sana- torium care for tuberculosis.
 Available for the 1941-43 bien- nium was $240.0O0.00 for general relief appropriated by the 1941 Le- gislature Of this amount a balance as Of September 30, 1941 exists of $1SS.295.80.
 The reduction of unemployment, the development in the mining in- dustry, the successful fishing season experienced in southeastern and southwestern Alaska and the in- creased employment available to AL askans on defense projects are at tributed to the cause of the trem- endous reduction in relief needs
 The Territory of Alaska in 1917 adopted a system of mothers pen sions or allowances which are made available to mothers for assis- tance in providing care for their children where the breadwinner in the family has been incapaeitated or the widow left without means of support. Under this program the De- partment of Public Welfare expend- ed Sl3,976.50 during the six months period ending September 30. An ap- propriation of S72,000.00 was made available by the 1941 Legislature of which a balance on September 30 existed of $58.023.50.
 In each of the four judicial di- visions of the Territory there exists a Board of Children's Guardians consisting of the U s. District Judge, U. s. Marshal and one woman mem- Der appointed by the Department of Public Welfare Cases of dependency and juvenile delinquency committed to the Board are paid for from an appropriation made available to the Department by the Legislature.

Thursday night, officially opening
the 1,niversity's season Of recitals.
Though the years have taken a
toll On his voice, he has retained
control of its resources long after
most lyric tenors are forced by. ma
ture to retire. This was only
noticeable at the beginning Of the
recital, for as the voice warmed
the quality and flexibility which
contributed So much to his fame,
seemed to return, together with a
power that he never ATTEMPTED TO
employ In the early days of his
career.
His program was composed OF
works by Roger Quilter, an cut
standing composer of the so-caHed
Hoston school an dae Coleridg-
Taylor aria cantata s'Hiawatha,"
together with number Of Negro
spirituals. The classic and ro-
from old English songs by Dowland
mantle group contained works
and Purcell, a Mozart aria and
Beethoven's vocally awkward "Ade-
laide." which he rendered with
great art, by virtue of his COM
