In Scattered Showers" three
mothers discover their little boys
adrift on a. river. In the crisis the
confused mother reflects a bewil-
dered son; the authoritarian be-
trays the terror she has instilled
| in her boys; while it is the conf
dent mother whose calm son save
Thea day.
Miss Faith Adams; Miss Moreen
McGraw and Mrs. Esther Kivitt
will play the roles Of the three
mothers. S s.g,
In Fresh Variable Winds" the
'self-centered mother of the neigh
borhood brat shows by horrible
example how the child got that
way. "High Pressure Area" deals
with adolescent problems.
The plays point out that love
and understanding are necessary
to children if they are to live up
to the accepted standards of So
ciety. At. the same time this love
must be accompanied by the kind
of authority which teaches child
that there are. governing prin-
ciples which set limits for his be-
haviour.

SCHOOL HEADS MEET TO TALK TAX MONEY DISTRICT GU HAY

School superintendents from throughout the Territory are meet ing with Dr. James c. Ryan, com missioner of education, today in the Federal Building to discuss distribution of funds accruing to the school districts from the re- gently enacted tobacco tax.
 Ten men had arrived in Juneau late yesterday, with seven yet to come. They were expected this morning, Dr. Ryan said. Discus sion will attempt to work out a formula or plan, he said, for equi- tacle distribution of the money which so far has amounted to S299,O00
 When the jaw was enacted, no machinery was set up as to how funds were to be given out, but carmarked it specifically for con- struction and repair of school buildings and facilities. The Terri torial Attorney General has ruled that the board of education has au- thority to distribute the money as it sees fit.
 With the next board meeting slated for May, the present con ference will make recommenda- tions to it, Dr. Ryan said. Admin istrative problems will also be dis cussed if time permits, he said.
 Superintendents from the fol- lowing districts have arrived Ill Juneau: Anchorage, Fairbanks, Ne mana, Palmer. Seward, Cordova Wrangell, Petersburg, Klawok, and Rake. Those due are from Nome Craig. Sitka, Skagway, Haines and Hoonah.
 The legislature estimated the tax would bring in some S5O0,oo0. The first two quarters have brought IT s2e9, ,00O, which would make the Legislatures estimate fairly accu- rate, pr. Ryan pointed out.
