 The Rev Fink joins his praise with that Of the Rev Gallant for the wonderful spirit and coopera- ton displayed by the people of Skagway, who opened their doots to the evacuated children Churches and the Skagway public school were heated and made available as shel- ter for the children Two vacant wards in the Alaska Native Service Sanatorium were promptly put to use and still are the principal shelter for the mission kiddies Some few cf the children having parents have been called for by their parents, somewhat relieving the strain Of the situation Father Fink said.
 Though arrangements for more permanent quarters for the children are still tentative, the Rev. Gallant is considering continuing the school ing of his charges through use of the public school as far as possible. The Rev. Fink returned Rev. Gal lant's expressions of gratitude to Superintendent of Juneau Public Schools A. B. Phillips, for offers of books and other school supplies, as well as to the people of Juneau for their whole-hearted giving of clothing which has done much to re- lieye the distressing perdicament of the evacuated children.
