BE55 WILLIAMS SPEAKS AT NFFE
 LUNCHEON TODAY

Guest speaker at the National Federation of Federal Employees luncheon today was Miss Bess Williams of the Regional Office of the Childrens Bureau. The meeting was held at noon in the Gold Room of the Baranof.
 Miss Williams, who has been vis- iting in Juneau this week, dis cussed the Children's Bureau pro- gram and its relationship to Alaska. She told of the begin nings of the Bureau and it's out growth from the first White House conference on children in 1910.
 Emphasis was placed on the fact that the Bureau is interested and related to all children, both the less privileged and the privileged. Their major concern is the neglect and abuse of children.
 Working in the fields of child labor, delinquency and infant and child health, the Bureau treats cases on the basis that a child'S behavior is related to his envir- onment. said Miss Williams.
 The speaker discussed the rela- of the Bureau to Alaska in two specific areas. It is re- sponsible for keeping informed on what is happening to children in Alaska and letting the public know and taking care of service for children" through the usage of a grant which the Territory of Alaska receives.
 The following guests attending the NFF'E luncheon were introduc- ed: Miss Alice Brandebury of the Department of Public Welfare. and Mrs. c. T. Stenson, Alaska Native Service teachers from Klawak.
 New members announced were Donald w. Erickson, Frank w. Hynes, H. c. Scudder. Conner w. Tarleton T. Smith and Shirley Ross.

 A $500 fine and costs with $66l worth of fish confiscated to the Crown was the sentence imposed by Magistrate I. Thomas in Provincial police course upon the American skipper who was found guilty of fishing in Canadian waters.

Priorities For Federal Housing

best of the non-veteran occupants literally
out in the cold.
1t is hard to determine what any thing is
worth these days, SO perhaps the price OF
the units are in line with the price of eggs
and butter but we are certain that the long
time occupants of the units are due more
consideration than they receive under the
present plan.
Under the present plan, the war worker
who took care of his rented home and ex-
pended effort and money on the grounds is
actually penalized for his foresight since the
house is now more attractive to the home
buying veteran. We believe the legitimate
war worker, many of whom were average
or physically unfit for active military SER
vice, should be given more consideration
and allowed to purchase the house he has
occupied and maintained over a period of
years with that end in view.
Even the veterans took the same attitude
toward the occupant in a resolution they
passed on public housing several months ago
at a mass meeting.
We believe the present occupant of one
year or more, whether he be veteran or non
veteran, should be given first refusal with
the veterans of World War II given next
choice on all units. We believe there would
be enough units to go around for boni fide
purchasers in each group.
And we believe the best interests of the
general public would be served with such
a system of priority.
