7 cups sugar
Cloves (heads removed)
6 two-inch sticks cinnamon
Pour boiling water over peaches.

bring to boiling pont and boil for
10 minutes. Add the cinnamon, tied
in a cloth, to this mixture while
boiling. Add to the boiling liquid
enough peaches to fill a jar. Boil
them until they are thoroughly
hot and tender. Remove from the
liquid and place in a sterilized jar.
Cover to keep hot. When all the
peaches are cooked boil the strip

HEALTH CHATS

Of this number IFS or TO per cent were accompanied by a parent or representative. pr. John o. Bangeman was present to exam inc the children and to confer with the parents over the find ings.
 The results of these examinations are very enlightening as to the general health needs Of the child ren of Wrangell. It was found that 40 children. or 15 per cent need tonsilleetomies and adenoidectom- ies; 10 children need tonsillectom- ies if their history warrants it: IT children or ! per cent need im- mediate attention to their eyes; 70 children or 31 per cent need dental care for dental carries There were eight vaccinations for smallpox done which should have been done

before the children went to school. Thirteen children had impacted wax removed from their ears. The need for improvement in posture was noted in a majority of the children. This is a problem which will require the concentrated ef- fort of parent, school, public health nurse and the child him self.
 Now that the examinations are finished and the parents know the needs of the child, it is felt that the problem is largely up to them. However, if there is need for ad- vice or help in some other form in order to correct these defects, it is requested that the family con tact the public health nurse, Miss Bulkeley. whose office hours are 9 to 10 a. m, in the Federal build ing and whose telephone number is 11G.

ON THE SPECIAL SESSION
By BILL BAKER
Ketchikan Chronicle

The Chronicle does not like spe- cial sessions of the Alaska legisla- ture any more than anyone else does. They cost us money to re- port properly. They cost the public some money. They make a lot of noise in the dead of a peaceful win ter. The last special session we went to ended up in a first class fiaseo and we got called a lot of unnice names for opposing the sales tax although our contribu- tions to the veterans bill itself were gladly added to the law.
 In fact, we just don't like the Alaska legislature the ones we have covered in the past But that doesn't mean there isn't reason to hope. In fact. after the way the Voters rose up and smacked down the lame ducks in October, there is reason to hope for better things. So We are willing to go along on the ides chat an extra session can do some vital things for Alaska
 Please don't forget that Alaska legislatures have had a habit for some time of putting all vital mea- surea over until the last day or two. In the shuffle. all revenue bills seem to get lost. and the boys so home with little to show for their efforts
 It is to avoid this possibility that the extra session was called. If, at the close of the 17-day per iod, no basic tax bills have been passed, the public will have time to rear up and holler for action Then there'll be 50 days more, and no excuse for non-performance.
 But to wait until the end of March. with bills piling up and creditors bowling for their pay ments, will work a hardship on some Alaskan institutions. Last summer We visited Father Gal lant's Plus x mission orphanage at skagway and saw the fine little native boys he had under his wing. And we thought of all the home legs waifs in such orphanges as Valdez, Haines, Seward, Mountain Point, at Winfield near Juneau and elsewhere all dependent on

some welfare funds And the Sew lard tuberculosis sanitarium. oper- lated by the Methodist Board of
 Missions (who almost closed it a year or two ago for non-payment by the Alaska Native Service). Not to mention schools, the college and cities that need Territorial rebates immediately.
 Some of these places = all wor- thy ones will simply become orphans themselves and have to turn their sick and their helpless out into the cold if the Territory doesn't pay them as it has prom ised to do. And a lot of people not in such homes dependent child ren, pensioners and welfare clients can hardly wait until the end of March for assurance of funds for food and medicine.
 The special session thus could have been justified some months ago if there had been any assur- ance that it's old members had come to their senses There being none, the only thing to do was to wait until the new members could sit legally. And this is about the first chance they have had to do so.
 That being the case, just remem- Der when you hear the alarmists shouting that the old bloc of die hards created the situation that forced the special session and the Governor called it reluctant, be- cause it was about the only decent thing to do. Even if the lame ducks were entitled to sit m the extra session, they should realize that the public doesn't want them because they got us into this jackpot and they had the oppor- tunity to keep us out.
