Alaska Children:
Their Needs and
How We Meet Them

Last week we dWelt a little
on some of the typical things
which help make up the ideal
family-the rights and response
bilities of children in their own
homes. Today we will touch on
children who by force Of cir
cumstances over which they
have no control are in an adop-
tive home, a foster home, or a
child-care institution.
Since these articles have a
basic design of being thought
provoking, treatment of today's
subject will be in the form of
questions and incidental COM
ments.
What special skills are used
in the selection of adaptive par
ents? Are they given an oppor-
tunity to select a child who will
fit into their family? Are they
imbued with the desire to main
tain an atmosphere of warmth
and affection, to maintain suffi-
cient order and regularity in
the home; are they aware of
what is reasonable to expect
in a child at various ages; will
they place increasing RESPONSE
bility on a child as he natures;
will they introduce the religious
concept early in the child's life
to enhance his sense of security?
Where the child adopted is an
infant, apparently there is little
problem because the adaptive
parents are then practically the
same status as natural parents.
Continued next week.

ready to serve any cause l be-
lieve in. But l am doing another
job for the city, also without
pay; registration for Selective
Service, without pay; and some
other smaller duties for which
there is nc pay check.
The time has come when I
must reserve some time to earn
a living for myself as we'll as
having a little rest now and
then. The job as chairman of
Red Cross, especially during a
national emergency, of guiding
the chapter with a jurisdiction
as large as this one, is no small
job. 1t requires hours Of thought
and time, and it is my firm be-
lief that it is a mans job.
Mr.. James Purdue of Seattle
has been appointed Chief of
Alaska Operations. He will be
in Seward next week. Once
again we have called a meeting
for all persons who made a do
nation of S1.00 or more in the
April Fund Campaign, which
automatically made them mem
bers of Red Cross. The meeting
is October IL, next Thursday.
Unless you want Red Cross the
ONLY absolute charity in Sew

your business to be there to elect
a chairman who can appoint
committees and get the work 60

The
G.ad(s Roe9e.
BY Mildred Kirkpatrick

AS you probably know, Red
Cross in Seward is at a complete
standstill. A general meeting
was called in August to reorgan-
ize the chapter upon the resigna-
ton of myself as chairman. This
meeting was advertised long and
well, people taxed about it and
many said they would be there.
But on the night of the meeting,
ten, TEN people showed up.
No one could be found to vol
unteer to act as chairman. Mrs.
Marguerite Lechner consented to
serve as vice chairman if an
other person suggested would
not act. Mrs. Victor Mahan was
definitely made secretary-trea-
Surer.
This is what it amounts to,
folks, if you don't take an inter
est in Red Cross: THERE WILL
BE NO first aid classes. NO
home nursing course; NO trans
portation and ambulance service
in case of wartime emergency;
NO first aid dressing stations;
NO canteen service to feed
bombed out or burned out fami-
lies; NO support for the Civil
Defense Committee.
1t is a pitiable and shameful
condition. You may say that if
feel that way about it why did
give up the craftsmanship?

Trial 10 Be Resumed
Monday in Suit 10
Dissolve Villa Bia Club

Further trial Of a civil suit in
which the Government seeks to
dissolve the Villa Bia Social Club,
Inc, 2019 Nineteenth street NV,
an after-hours club, is to be re-
sumed Monday in District Court.
Trial of the case, which is being
heard by Judge r. Dickinson Let's
without a jury. began yesterday.
The trial marks the first time that
any of the Governments suits
seeking to dissolve IL of the So
called bottle clubs has gone on
trial in District for a complete
hearing on its merits.
Four Others Dissolved.
-Four of the clubs, however, have
been dissolved in previous court
action when they failed to contest
Government action. Also. receiv-
ers have been appointed for a
number of the other clubs, against
which action was brought, to pre-
vent the clubs from transferring
assets pending final determination
IF their cases.
The Villa Bia trial was post
poned because Assistant United
States Attorney Ross ODonoghue
had to go to Florida to take a
deposition in another case. Rep
resenting the Government with
him is Assistant United States
Attorney Bruce G. Sundlun.
Government petitions seeking
to dissolve the clubs contend they
have been operating to defeat
local liquor laws and in violation
of purposes set forth in their
charters.
Policeman Testifies.
A Government witness yester-
day was Policeman Norman Alli-
son, who testified he had bought
alcoholic drinks at the Villa Bia.
Mrs. Ambia Roey, colored, secre-
tary-treasurer of the club and an
incorporation, testified she had
never bought liquor for sale.
The defense contends the sales
were made to the policeman be-
cause of the friendship between
the officers wife and Mrs. Roey.
Mrs. Roey has paid a fine for
selling liquor without license,
it was explained.
The club is represented by At
torneys Charles E. Ford and H.
Clifford Alder.
