conference with the governor.
Their luck changed in a few min
utes, however, and changed in a
really big way. They not only met
Secretary of State Storey, but
through him met the governor in
his office.
Governor Bacon talked to both
sections of the fifth grade and
gave each member an autographed
copy of Delaware the First State ~
In his talk to the children Gov
ernor Bacon encouraged the idea
OF studying our state at first hand.
He suggested that the grades visit
Dover during legislative year to
study the processes involved. He
mentioned that in his school days
no such opportunities were avail
able. He concluded by telling them
that our state was a wonderful
state and that while there were
conditions which could be better
yet there were so many conditions
which were good. He requested us
to look for the good and not in
dulge in the popular pastime OF
fault finding.
The visit with the governor was
the first high point of day filled
with high points and it was al
event which the children will re-
member long time.

tied the old State House and thu
Latex plant. The officials at th'
Latex plant were most courteous
and cooperative and showed th'
class through a most interesting
tour of the plant.

there later.
After leaving Lewes tney jour

they enjoyed the most. The fact
that they have seen many things
at first hand has given a far more
accurate picture than any amount
of books could have done. These
trips are highly recommended by
leading educators and by the local
administration and we hope that
the fifth grade will find ways and
means of continuing the good work

 BILL KILLED
Senate Passes Adoption Measure in Short Affer-
 noon Session

After spending the tag end of the morning session yesterday whittling away at what the House had left oi Rep. Anita Garnick's Child Labor Bill-H. B. 22-the Alaska Senate came back from lunch and put the measure altogether out of the way
 Indefinite postponement of H B. g was moved by Senator L. P Dawes and that course was adopted without discussion, by 9 to ( vote. Senator N. R. Walker was absent.
 About all that was left of the Garnick bill when the Senators permanently shelved it was a ban On persons under Is being employ ed underground in mines or in poolrooms.
 The Senators then turned to an- other bit of child legislation and smiled unanimously upon Senator o. D. Cochran's Adoption Bill which also provides for issuing substitute birth certificates for adopted children showing legitimate hirth. This measure, s. B. AT, was moved ahead of everything else on the calendar and was passed 15-O without amendment or dis cussion. It is deemed supplementary to a House Bill by Rep. EnSstrom dealing with marriage proceedings and birth certificates. The Eng strom bill is due for a second ap- pearance on the Senate floor at an early date. It was in second read ing once and was sent to the Judi ciary Committee for comparison with s. B. AT.
 After acting on the Cochran the Senate adjourned un- til 10 o'clock this morning in de- ference to Senator N. R. Walker, who had been excused because of illness and who is interested in a of the measures remaining on the Senate calendar. Commit tee work then became the order of the remainder of the day, denot- ing more heavy calendars shortly

to meet with a like committee from , the House in an attempt to iron out disagreements on House Bill 21. That measure was designed ! to require territorial agencies to call for bids on service contracts in excess of S250. The House took exception to a Senate amendment requiring that contracts for pro fessional services be let in the same manner Senator Coffey was the father of the amendment
 The first part of the Senate's meeting this morning was spent in 1 listening to Walter P Plett and H P Noggle, Regional Civil Aer- onautics Administrator and CAA Regional Attorney respectively.
 They expressed their views on s. B. 48, the proposed Alaska Aer- onautics Act.
 Tough Seeding
 Tough sledding for that bill was indicated however, in questions and comments by two members of the Judiciary Committee which is now considering the bill Chair man Cochran and Senator E. B. Collins dropped strong hints that they view with more favor possible amendments to existing laws, to give municipalities broader powers so that they might participate in the Federal airport program.
 Tn reply to direct questions, Plett said he does not consider powers of the Alaska Aeronautics and Communications Commission ade- quate to meet present needs. It is mainly a communications agency, he said. Noggle had previously stated that the CAA is urging States and Territories to adopt uniform legislation" s. B. 48 is framed from two uniform acts for the States, he said.
 Cochran pointed out that aeron- autics regulation within the Dis trict of Columbia and the terri tories is reserved to the Federal government Any law, such as S. B 48 proposes, setting up an Al askan regulatory body would be duplicated" he inferred
 The Senate recessed it's session until ? o'clock this afternoon with H B. IS, which would raise tea chers' salaries, set as a special order of business at that time.

belief in possibilities for worlC peace and a common understand ing between nations.
 About 50 members and visitors attended the monthly meeting and enjoyed a program of vocal solos and duets by Frances Paul and Ernest Ehler with Dorianne Barnes as accompanist. The program was the offering of the Department of International Relations, Mrs J. P, Williams, chairman.
 A considerable amount of cor respondence was read at the busi- ness meeting including several let ters asking for specific informa- tion about Alaska for programs teing arranged in the states. As these letters had been sent by re- gular mail, they arrived too late for dates stated but the information requested will be forwarded for fu- ture use.
 The rummage sale which was suggested at the February meeting will be held March l9 in the so- cial room of the Methodist Church it was decided and several women offered to assist Mrs D. w. Heron with the arrangements. Also dis cussed was a possible location for a permanent Community Christmas tree following a report by Mrs. Burras Smith on the present loca- tion which cannot be used except for set-up trees.
 In connection with the Alaska Crippled Childrens' Association, a large number of memberships were received and an Orthopedic Guild within the club was suggested On the Legislative side, a letter to the Speaker of the House with a copy to the author of the bill was au- thorized in connection with House Bill 51, recently tabled by the House.
