Solemn Times


Solemn Times
However, these are solemn times,
for reasons which it is unnecessary
to explain to any Legionnaire, and
this particular convention affords an
unprecedented opportunity for USE
full, constructive and important ac-
ton along lines of our keen interest
and purpose. So I trust my fellow
Legionnaires will permit me to ex-
press a few ideas on this subject.
I'VE are winning the war. We are
winning it handsomely, impressively,
completely. 1t will be victory by
knockout, east and west. 1t will be
the victory of the not so long ago
derided 'decadent democracies' over
the supermen. 1t will be the victory
of the children of a free land over
the little sons of-heaven. 1t will
be victory by land, sea and by air.
1t will be a victory of the men at
the front and of the people behind
the front. 1t will be a victory of
arms. But, above all, it will be a
victory of the spirit-a victory of
ideas and ideals. 1t will be a vic
tory of freedom over slavery, Of self
government by the people over die
tatorship."
Suggestions for Program
The Governor pointed out local
responsibility, preparedness, which
the Legion has always preached and
urged; office or offices of the Vet
Grams Administration to take care
of the returning veterans; assistance
to those who want to come to the
northland and make their homes;
need for better health facilities, hos
pitfalls, housing, recreational facil-
tiles; public libraries and far more
roads and trails.
In conclusion, the Governor said:
In these coming years, so vital to
the people of Alaska, the American
Legion can and will play an i'm
portant and vital part. AS the mil
lions of men now in uniform return
to fill and greatly enlarge the
ranks of the Legion, its responsibility
to these men and to the nation will
become ever greater; its voice will
grow in power-a power we must
always keep true to the principles
of justice, freedom and democracy
1t will be my hope and purpose to
cooperate with the Legion on any
and all occasions to the fullest ex-
tent of my ability and to the extent
of its desire.

The American Legion and the american Legion Auxiliary have been chosen as the organizations to distribute gifts for the wounded sick and disabled service men and women veterans who will be hospi- tallzed at Christmas time. The pro- ,Ject is nationwide and is known ss Gifts For the Tanks Who Gave. :"
 The Connecticut collection for hospital gifts is under the direction of Past National Vice Commander of the American Legion Arthur J. Cornell of Middletown and Mrs Marion O'Connor, a member of the Auxiiary'S National Rehabilitation Commission, also of Middletowy. George McDuff is the chairman of the Waterbury district.

 Tn addition to the newspapers of the state, whoa re already pubiiciz- ing the campaign" stated Depart ment Commander Herber L. Eman- uelson of New Haven, radio sation WTTC of Hartford has promised to support the gift project with series of yprograms designated to acquaint Connecticut listeners concerning Hhe collection of gifts which the

stimulate private, community and plant recreation programs through out the state.
 Two alternative plans will be pre- sented to the meeting for discussion. One calls for a statewide committee on industrial recreation and the other for an industrial recreation association.
 The state committee would make use of existing facilities of the Con- necticut War Council and provide for a close working relationship with other state departments and local agencies. The committee would act in an advisory capacity and help coordinate industrial recreation programs.
 The plan for an industrial recrea- tion association would depend upon individual membership and repre- sentation from organizations and company plants and would not be affiliated as such with any govern mental agency, either state or na- tional.

 MT. Ebright, who comes from a long line of Methodist ministers in Kansas, was born in that state, and educated at Baker University, Drew Theological Seminary, Hart ord Seminary, and the University of Chicago.

Civic Leaders 10 Ask
Funds for Day Care
OF Children Under I
Committee Is Seeking
Inclusion of Item in
Deficiency Appropriation

Civic leaders, under the chair
manship of Joseph D. kaufman,
will appear before the Commits
sioners this week to ask that an
item be inserted in this years de-
ficiency appropriation to support
the work of the Day Care Central
Office for children under two years.
The Community Chests fourth
grant to the Office runs out June
80 and no more can be granted,
Herbert L. Willett, executive direc-
tor of the chest and member of the
appeal committee, said The work
.of this Office, advising parents and
finding foster homes for children
under two years, is carried on sep
arately from the Board of Educa-
tion'S administration of Is centers
for day care of children over two
years. With cessation of Commu-
nifty Chest funds, the office can
turn only to Congressional appro-
priation because Lanham Act funds,
now supporting the school program,
are not granted for children under
two.
Among others on the appeal COM
mittee are E. C. Graham, president
of the Community Chest; the Rev.
Frances McPeek. Washington Fed
Grafton of Churches; Edgar Morris,
chairman, Board of Public Wei
fare, Mrs. P. C. Elicit, president,
District of Columbia Congress of
Parent and Teachers, and Mrs.
Alice Hunter, president, Federation
of Parent-Teacher Associations.
Nearly 900 children have been
placed in foster homes recon-
mended by the office during the
past year, it was emphasized. Miss
Katharine Doonan, administrator of
the school day care office, said she
refers an average of a case a day
to the independent Office and in
return receives many cases from
workers there. The independent
Office is especially helpful in cases of
children eligible for public school
| care but not located near one of
the school centers, she added.
The more of the school centers
will open tomorrow for children
over two Miss Doonan announced.
The Highlands Housing Develop
ment nursery at 69l Yuma street

Bi|bo Pledges Study
OF Proposal 10 Slash
D. C.-Virginia Fares
Head Of Senate Group
Plans Early Examination
Of McCorron's Measure

Chairman Bilbo of the Senate
District Committee yesterday prom
ised prompt consideration would be
given by his group to the request
of Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada for action to settle the pro-
tracted controversy over bus fares
between the National Capital and
Federal buildings in nearby Vir-
ginia.
Senator McCarran offered a meas
ure more than year ago to apply
District laws to the Federally owned
areas of nearby Virginia, but ac-
ton was delayed, partly due to Vir-
ginia objections and partly because
other efforts were being made to
lower and equalize cross-Potomac
fares.
However, after a three Judge tri-
bunal of District Court set aside a
rate order finally issued by the In
terstate Commerce Commission on
the grounds it had not established
its jurisdiction, Senator McCarran
moved for legislative action to end
the muddle.
Il heartily agree" said Senator
Bilbo, that some decisive action is
needed to bring relief to the thou
sands of Virginia and District resi-
dents who find it necessary to ira
verse the District boundary going
to and from work, day after day.
Il shall be glad to have the sub
ject considered at the next meet
ing of the District Committee,
which will be soon"
