Ketchikan Couple Help Homeless Lad Once. Now Moke I+ FuH-Time Job

A thoughtful act of kindness on a cold, stormy winters night in Ketchikan has grown to a full time occupation for MT. and Mrs. Alfred Everson of that city, it is reported in an article published recently in the Christian Science Monitor. On that wintery night, MT. Everson, a janitor at the Ketchikan Postoffice, brought home a young native boy, who had sought warmth and shelter from the out-of-doors in the post office.
 Today the Eversons, who have proved up on five-acre homesite in the Tongass Forest near Ketch- ikan, are making home for more than dozen young native boys. At times, the neglected children who have come to the Eversons have sWelled their family roll to a total of 21 boys.
 The territory pays $45 month for each child living in the home, which the Eversons have called the Guiding Light Home. Civic and fraternal organizations of Ketchikan, supplemented by con- tributions from individuals, make up the difference needed to feed and clothe an active and growing boy.
 The boys in the home help with dishes and bedmaking and other simple household tasks, and they take turns working in the vege- table garden they have planted nearby. A special school bus takes the children to Ketchikan to school. On Sundays, Mrs. Everson conducts her own Sun day School. She is giving piano lessons to several of her young charges, and has organized others into a choir.

.1,100 Workers Fired
By Rent Offices With
More Facing Ak

The agency which runs the Fed
eral rent control program today
began widespread firing of en-
ployes.
The Office of Housing Expediter
Tighe E. Woods announced that
dismissal notices already have
been sent to some 1,100 workers.
This amounts to a one-fourth re-
duction in staff and will take eff
| feet within two weeks.
A top housing official told re-
porter that most of those given
notices are in New York, where
the State takes over all controls
on May /.
None of the agency's 329 en-
ployes in it's Washington office
was affected by the layoff notices.
Agency officials said that future
dismissals would depend on what
Congress decides to do about ex-
tending rent control.
Mr.. Woods lieutenants report
ed that "the ak will swing
again about May l" wher
another thousand or so" will be
dropped in rent control Offices in
many parts of the country.
Although the cutbacks-ano
the announced plans for further
reductions-were strong indica-
tions that the agency may be
planning to close up shop, there
was no official statement to this
effect.
The reason given by Mr.. Woods
office for the termination
notices" was a shortage of pay
roll funds. However, key housing
officials expressed belief that il
Congress votes an extension OF
Federal controls, some of those
fired will be re-hired.
The present national rent law
dies June 80 unless renewed by
/ leg lSldllFe dCGIOn.
President Truman has asked
that Federal ceiling be continued
another year. but congressional
opponents of controls believe they
have sufficient votes to kill the
measure once and for all.
Proposals for extension of Fed
eral controls now are before COM
mittees in both the House and
Senate.
In addition to the 1874 workers
being let out in New York State
another so are being fired in Vir-
ginia. The Virginia State Legis-
lature also has voted to end con-
trolls in June.
