BENEFITS OF PROGRAM
The only thing that can be said
against the school lunch program
Ii that it didn't come into exist
ence soon enough. The school lunch
program should have been a must
since the last World War. when
many draftees were undernour-
ished and malnutrition was preva-
lent in many parts of the nation.
Even today, the physical standard
of American youth is not all that
1t should be. The hot lunch pro-
gram for the school children of
America will go long way to ele-
waiting the physical well-being of
the American youth, or the Amer
lean fighting man.
While 1t is doing all this Il Is
also a great source of good for
the parents, especially the
mothers of these school children,
many of whom are thereby re-
leased for war work in industry.
knowing that their children will
receive a good, hot meal, and at
the same time be under super
vision of teachers, the mother
can really put her best efforts
into the job of producing the
implements of war that will win
the victory for all of us.
1t Is a matter of record that
since the adoption of the school
lunch program. school marks Of
pupils are continually on the up
grade, absenteeism has been re-
duced. and the children them
selves in great many instances
have gained as much as six or
eight pounds in the first half of
the school year. If such a program.
doing so much good, is socialistic,
then let's stop kidding ourselves
and go i'm for socialism I'm a big
way. We can use it IL the school
lunch program is a sample.

the members, who proceeded at
once to discuss what ceilings are
violated here. The recent election
Of Thomas Post as mayor of Cum
berland encouraged the auxiliary
in the belief that an appeal for a
city ordinance for price control
might be successful at last, and the
group voted with enthusiasm to
join the procession of labor organ
izations that have asked for such
an ordinance. Mrs. Parker's talk

sonal responsibility for the prices

they heard that federal funds had
made possible the menus their kids
had discussed with gusto more or
less all winter, and when they
heard further that these funds
would not be appropriated for next
year without a fight. they were
ready to fight. They ordered their
secretary TO write for the organiza-

county and advocates It's extension

After an earnest plea from Chair
man James Spitznas Of the coun-

practically marked time In this
field since the First World War to
the second, although 25 per cent Of
our children were chrOnically un-
dernourished, the council voted to
commend the county authorities
for the way it has pushed the pro-
gram; to urge the Senators to vote
for the Wagner bill, and to circu-
larize the Parent-Teacher associa-
tons urging them to act similarly.

Ralph J. Rivers, demo- cratic candidate for the nomination for Attorney Ieneral, is the son of J. c. Rivers, widely known pio- neer, who came North in 1905. He was born in Se- attle in 1903, and later. with his mother and young CT brother Victor, came to Dawson in 1906, where the family resided until 1912, then moved to Flat. There he attended grammar school. He attended high school in the States and during two summer vaca- tions worked in canneries in Cordova and Gambler Rav. He returned to Flat in 1921 and worked there as a miner until 1923.
 Entering the University of Washington the latter year he spent six years in that insti- tuition, taking a liberal arts and law course He then graduated in August, 1929, with the degree of LIB. He practiced law in Se- attle the two following years and came to Fairbanks, opening an of flee there in July, 1881. Two years later he was appointed by President Roosevelt as United States District Attorney for the Fourth Division, serving in that capacity continuously until his res gnation, effective February 1, 1914 It was compulsory, under the Hatch Act, that he resign the District Attorneys office simul- taneously with his filing as a can didate in the Democratic primar- ies for nomination for the office of Territorial Attorney General.

Roden in Rage For
 Delegate

Henry Roden, democrat ic candidate for the nomi- nation for Delegate to Con- gress, came to Alaska over 49 years ago to make his home and fortune. He fol- lowed the occupation of a prospector nd miner for 10 years and while employed as a laborer in the mines, studied law and was admit ted to the Bar of Alaska by the late Judge James Wickersham in 1908. He served some time as Assist ant United States Attorney In the Fourth Division and was a member of the first territorial legislature He has been a member a num- Der of times since, and was elected Attorney General our years ago.
 "While serving as such I have been guided by two main princi- pies, first: to advocate and work for the passage of laws which would be for the greatest good to the greatest number of our peo- pie, and secondly, would tend to the economic development of the Territory. The record proves whether I have made good on this or not:
