To the Editor, Daily Alaska Empire:
Things like this can happen only
in Juneau, Alaska.
There is a human being, honesty,
justice and God in this world and
IN our wonderful Juneau is most.
am Mrs Barbara M. P. Roobanko
and my husband is Laurence Roo
banko. We were offered by Mr.. and
Mrs. John Maurstad to buy property
from them on 426 East 4th Street,
which needs quite bit of repairing,
for only 5000, and pay them any
time we will be able to pay-and
as much as we will be able. In case
it happens that we can't afford to
pay them, we don't have to pay at
all, and at the same time they gave
me the property warranty deed at
the office of Howard D. Stabler,
attorney-at-l telling me the
property is mine forever and I only
paid them $40, which was all I
! could do at the time. They wished
me and my husband the best of
luck and told to go at once to Ju-
neau land commissioner and record
the deed and the property and not
to worry about payments.
God bless you good nice people of
Juneau, Alaska.
So, now we are paying them $25
month and each time pay I re-
ceive an amiable thank you"
Let us thank you from the depths
of our hearts.
After receiving deed on property
from land commissioner, I and my
husband started doing hard work OF
| fixing it.
Both of us lacked experience to
build and being quite new in Ju-
neau, not knowing where to get sup
plies, having not enough working
tools, ETC., the God sent us most kind
and generous neighbor, Mr.. Abel
Koski, 416 East First Street, who
let us use all kind of his working
tools and helped us with his smart
/ experience and advice and was SO
kind and helpful in million things
Thank you very much Mr.. Abel
Koski, our kind neighbor.
When it came to rewriting our little
home for electricity Alaska Electric
Light and Power Company esti-
| mated it would run up approx
mately to $500 We agreed on it
though it was lots of money for us
! to pay and when the job was done
by the Alaska Electric Light ano
Power Company, came to the office
to pay the bill Here I was simply
struck by humans honesty and
justice. They told me it was not
run up to $3.50. You must pay us
only S14294 Mrs. Roobanko."
Also at the land commissioner Of
flee, city clerk office, city engineer
office, and Daily Empire, I receive
courtesy, attention and good service
This is Juneau and Juneau people

Oregon Upsets 1891 Rule,
Saws Child Can Sue Parent
BY the As,eeioted Press

SALEM, Greg, May 1.-THE
Oregon Supreme Court yesterday
ruled that a minor child can sue
a parent for damages. The 4-to-3
decision upset a rule of law stem
ming from an 1891 Mississippi
Supreme Court decision.
The suit here was to establish
a fathers responsibility for the
death of a son. 1t was brought to
establish the liability of an in
surance company. Damages of
$4,000 were awarded the mother,
who was left with eight children
to support.
An end of the war-V-J Day
celebration figured in the situa-
ton.
George w. Parker, his son,
Billie, and brother of the elder
Parker, all of Sweet Home. Oreg.
were killed August IA, 1945. A
truck driven by the father plunged
off an embankment into river
The court held that the father was
drunk and guilty of wilful mis-
conduct"
The Mississippi court had held
a child could not sue his parents
for damages.

The Progressives commended the
Taft-Hartley Act was the only

that it was an issue.
Don Hurd, candidate for re-

expressed the Progressive position
by saying. "the issue is whether
we fight the Taft-Hartley law or
lay down and take it."
C. D. Tucker. president Of the
Independents, said:
The issues in this campaign,
as expressed by the Independent
Party, are constructive and meet
the exigencies of the times.
Mr.. Randolph has tried to
make the Taft Hartley Act an is

least million children who are
not in school. you cannot quar-
antine ignorance on the assump-
ton that these children are from
the backwoods or the swamps or
the hills and that they are going
to stay there" he declared. He
pointed out that these are the
future citizens, who, deprived of
an education through no fault of
their own, will go to the big cities
to find jobs for which they are
not qualified. and wind up a
burden to the State.
"The so-called rich States felt
this particularly during the war, ;"
he said. when hundreds of
thousands of healthy young boys
from the South had to be re-
jected by the military service be-
cause they were illiterate."
The speaker also assailed critics
who say that the bill is ''contro-
versial." II am wondering
whether the Republicans have
joined with the Chamber of Com
merce in hanging a dollar sign
on the door of the public schools,
because we noticed that they were
not so quick to protest the spend
ing of vastly greater sums of
for the ERP and other bills
where they stood to make a
profit" he asserted.
"If we can afford those things
for Europe and some of that
money is going into schools there,
I certainly believe we can afford
a modest gesture to help Ameri-
can children"
Declaring that passage of Fed
eral aid to education legislation
lis the only way that we can
overcome very serious problem,
Representative Bailey expressed
the hope that "the Republicans
will come along with us on this.
and not go against the children"

the club. conducted the meeting,
and Mrs. B. Y. Martin introduced
