ARE CHILDREN

Reveal Finding of Childhood
Project in Woman's Home
Companion
HOW TO HELP CHILDREN

1t has been the tendency of many
experts in the past few years to
assume that very young children
are not prejudiced. This theory has
been blown to bits recently by a
survey of thousands of little child
rem in Philadelphia.
The shocking fact of prejudice
in children, based on the findings
of the Philadelphia Early Childhood
Project, are revealed in an article
'Is Prejudice Poisoning Our Kids"
in the November Woman's Home
Companion.
mo child was ever born with
racial or religious prejudice" notes
the magazine. But this study shows
that they acquire it while they're
still wearing rompers.
Since children absorb these un-
healthy attitudes from various
sources, experts in the field offer
these suggestions for inoculations
against prejudice year by year.
When your child is three that is
a good age for him to begin play
ing in mixed groups. At four and
five, child should be told about
the world. He should know that
there are red and black people, Es-
kimos, Indians and Orientals.
Age nine is a good time for con-
crete democratic action. 1t is a
good age to visit churches and
temples in order to teach your
child to have a healthy attitude
toward other religions.
The intellectual approach can
come at ten. The child is then ready
for facts about minorities. about
color lines and about scapegoating.
If you help your child through
these various ages, you will help
him to understand prejudice and be
free from it, says leading child psy-
biologists.

veterans who enlisted or reenlisted
under the Armed Forces Voluntary
Recruitment Act. They have up to
two years from their date of dis
charge to claim readjustment al
lowances, provided that they ap-
ply within five years from the
termination of their Public Law
100 enlistment or reenlistment.
National Service Life Insurance
A veteran of World War III who
applies for new insurance, or to re-
instate a 1apsed policy, generally
must furnish VA with satisfactory
evidence of his good health. A SER
vice-incurred disability-less than
total in degree-will be disregarded
in determining good health, so
long as he applies for new insur-
ance or for reinstatement before
January 1, 1850.
Smyrna times., 1949-11-24

The disability must have been
incurred in service between Octo-
ber 8, 1910, and September 2, 1945.
A veteran who applies for the N
Sill total disability income provi-
sion also is required to furnish evil
dence of good health. In this case,
too, disability incurred in service
between October s, 1910 and Sep
tember 2, 1945,-but less than total
in degree-will be disregarded in
determining good health, so long as
he applies for the total disability
income provision before January 1,
1850.

Dr.. Lowell Stresses TB Seal Importance

In furtherance of the annual tuberculosis seal sale, Dr. l.. M. Lowell, M.D., medical director at the Seward Sanatorium, has this to say:
 "No Alaskan needs to be re- minded that tuberculosis has been and continues to be our most serious health problem. The death rate continues to be high in the native population about ten times that of the national average and in the white popu- lation about twice the national average. The establishment of medical and surgical facilities in hospitals and sanatoria, a func- tion of our Territorial and Fed eral Governments, is progressing satisfactorily although funds continue to be inadequate.
 "The National Tuberculosis Association, which is supported by the annual sale of Christmas Seals, has important work to do in Alaska in supporting the gov erpmental agencies. On the local level we depend on the Alaska Tuberculosis Association for fi- nancial support of the annual x-ray survey, which is carried on in cooperation with the Alas ka Department of Health. On the national level approximately $750,000 is spent each year by the National Tuberculosis Asso- citation on tuberculosis educa- tion and medical research. In our hospitals and sanatoria we de-

Si+ku Radio Station Nearing Completion

Equipment for, completion of Sitka's first standard broad casting station is moving north on the Alaska Steamship Com pany's steamer Denali, sched- uled to sail from Seattle at II last Friday morning, MT. Will liam J. Wagner revealed,
 The new station, to be identi- fled by call letters KEW, will broadcast on a frequency of 1230 kilocycles with a power of 250 watts. When completed it will cost in the neighborhood of $4O,0O0.
 Already 80 percent finished, KEW will raise to six the num- Der of stations in the territorial chain of the Alaska Broadcast ing Company. Their first, KFQD in Anchorage, was the initial standard broadcast station in Alaska, MT. Wagner stated, and the 95th in the United States. It went on the air in 1924.
 KEW will bring to Sitka programs of Columbia Broad casting System as an affiliate of that national network.

Repairs nSchool 

Plans are being considered for the rehabilitation of the old school building. Fluorescent lighting in class rooms in the new building has proved by comparison how inadequately the old rooms are lighted.
 According to Dr. J. H. Shel- ton, newest member of the school board, the forced air ven tilating system should be in- stalled in the building. With so many children living in close contact for several hours each day, one child infected with tuberculosis could endanger the health of all others in the room Ventilation such as that in the addition would tend to relieve the danger of infection.
 Installation of a force pump in the water line is also con sidered an immediate necessity, the water pressure on the sec ond floor not being adequate in case of fire.
 Replacement of 126 panes of glass, damaged by earthquake and vandals, must be made with out delay, according to the con- tractor, before SeV ere cold weather, to conserve heat.
 It is expected that the amount budgeted for fuel will be con- siderably lowered, as the changes made in the heating arrange ments seem to bring about. heat ing of the entire building for less than it took to heat the old part in previous years.
 All classroom doors need locks and rooms must be painted and some floors refinished. No esti- mate has been asked on the com plete rehabilitation of the build ing, but the council assumes that the cost will be roughly $12,O00.
 The Territorial Board of Edu- cation was authorized by the last legislature to rehabilitate old buildings through the Territory with an expenditure of S30,00O at Seward. With the freezing of funds sometime later, however, this money is not immediately available for the work. Since the repair of the building is a necessity, however, the city must assume the expense until such time as it may be possible to be reimbursed by the Terri tory from the frozen funds.

Vandals
 Reported At School

Reports of repeated acts of vandalism in the high school building were made to the city council Monday night.
 According to Ray James, new doors in the addition still under construction have been forced twice in the past ten days. A pipe or bar of slime sort was used to force the automatic lock, causing the doors to be swung out of line, and splin- tered at the point of contact.
 Electricians reported that in- dividual thermostats installed on radiators in each room for the control of uniform heat have been damaged. Plaster, some of it recently repaired, has been kicked or gouged out in base ment rooms, toilet seats torn off and broken, presumably af- ter school hours.
 An inspection of the building by School Board and Council members revealed the necessity of replacing 126 panes of glass. Most of the windows in the old building were damaged by the earthquake, but too many of them are definitely broken by stones.
 Council members expressed the hope that it will not be necessary to take police action against such acts of vandalism, but if they continue, parents of children caught or proved to , be responsible for destruction of public property will be pros ecuted.

Much interest has been evi- dent the past week in regard to location at Seward of the college planned for somewhere in Alas ka by the Board of Education of the Methodist Church.

 Next step is promoting Sew ard as the most desirable loca- tion. If you have not already done so, write to the men men, toned in the last issue of this neWspaper-noW.
