REPORT. ON SOCIAL WELFARE WORK OF NATIVE SERVICE

through Social Welfare work or the Alaska Native Service over the past six months, department su- pervisor Evelyn I. Butler today in- dicated that a total of 419 depend ent children have been maintained in private institutions and board ing schools under the Child Vel fare fund; 204 mothers with a total of 289 dependent children have received aid through the Mothers Allotment fund; and 194 handi- capped or disabled persons have received assistance from the Gen. eral Assistance fund.
 With a toal assistance program allotment of $122,OOO for the 1947- 48 fiscal year, $70,000 has been al- located for child welfare; $30,000 for mothers allowance; and S22,- 900 for general assistance, with , extreme measures being taken to date in an effort to meet the most crying needs and still remain within the budget allowance.
 For although the last three re- lief payrolls of the previous fiscal year d.e. for last April, May and June) were cancelled because funds were exhausted and the lag in time prior to the availability of funds after July 1 further delayed relief payments, it is quite prob able that relief payment will again need to be omitted next May and June, Dr. Butler pointed out, in order to stay within present bud get limitations.
 Immediate .curtailment mea- sures instituted at the beginning of the current fiscal year represented an overall reduction of ANS well fare assistance including the ter imitation of relief payrolls which immediately deprived 558 native women, children and handicapped persons of the necessary food, clothing, and shelter" Dr. Butler explained. In addition funds for 30 child welfare cases were can- celled to save $8,OOO and general assistance terminated to save $6,OOO.
 1 Although we appealed to com munity agents, relatives and com munity organizations to exhaust every possible means of prevent [ ing suffering in these homes, there are as result of the curtailment many children who have made quate food, clothing and shelter" the supervisor explained.
 When you add to this the con- stantly rising costs of living and the tragic cut in the Territorial program for aid to dependent chil- dren and for old age assistance due to inadequate funds, one be- gins to realize to some extent the suffering and want to be faced during the peak winter months ahead when demands are greatest.
 Further, those relief checks now being paid of necessity are decidedly inadequate to fulfill the minimum essential needs of the persons dependent upon them, when it is possible to allocate an average of but $2O.17 a month for the care of both the mother and her dependent child. At the same time we are paying from $25 to S35 a month for boarding place ment care of dependent children

trouble to draw that hairline OF
difference. When we talk of COM
edians we mean performers ike
Eddie Cantor, Jack Benny ana
Bob Hope. When we talk OF hu-
morists. we think of the fellow
who creates humor. A humorlst
can make us chuckle with what
he makes up out of his own head;
a comedian will not only make us
smoker, but also laugh right from
the pit of our stomachs.
Abe Burrows, no doubt, is a
comedian but he is that rare avis,
that is, both comedian and humor-
list. For example. on the subject
of motion picture actors options,
he explains the dropping of an
option is the same thing as in any
ordinary business when the boss
says TIL trouble you for the key to
the washroom'." Will Rogers, the
late Sholem Aleichem and Robert
Benchley were humorists. Abe has
been a humorist for years. Long
before he ever went on program
of his own, he created humor for
other comedians to perform.
On the subject of his shiny bald
head, Abe once asked, "HOW do
you like my crew haircut" There
was a laugh and he was encour-
aged. He went on. mo kidding,
it's on purpose. I had it cut like
this for a picture" Later he ex-
tended this remark Don't laugh.
It's nice cool in summer. Be-
sides you don't have a lot of girls
running their fingers through
your hair. And say, if any of you
fellows want to look like this,

Abe heckles a great variety of

never satirizes anything "reaP' ,
