Paralysis, Mr.. West j. Alien
burg, has been in Alaska to meet
with Governor Ernest Gruen-
ing and the Commissioner of

the program of the Territory
to plan a program for the full
use of National Foundation CO.
! operation for the medical care
of polio patients in the Alaska
territory.
DR.. Albrecht stated that the
assistance that the National
Foundation can offer Alaskans
both military and civilian when
ever cases of infantile paralysis
occur is most assuring and en-
couraging.
No one need to be concerned
or apprehensive because of liv-
ing in Alaska since the fall re-
sources of the National Foun-
dation are standing by to assist.
DR.. Albrecht said, The plans
discussed with Mr.. Altenburg
will materially step up the treat
ment of existing cases now wait
! ing for care under the Depart
ment of Health Crippled Chill
dren's Program through finan-
| cial assistance from the National
Foundation supported by the
March Of Dimes"

Frank Tow!e Awarded
1921 for bb-Foo+
Strip of Lond

A board of commissioners in
U. S. Commissioners Court this
week awarded Frank Towle
1891 for the Sc foot strip Of land
taken over for right of way
on the Sterling Highway at
Cooper Landing,
Towle claimed that the new
road had damaged his property
to the amount of $4,000. He
placed the valuation of his prop
erty on Kenai Lake at S25, 900.
Charles Hubbard, witness for
ToWle, placed a value of twice
that sum on the land in question.
Towle had refused a right of
way for the road, and the 66
foot strip was obtained by con-
demnation.
Charles Burdick, assistant re-
gional forester, made the ap-
praisal at the time of condem-
nation and judged the property
to be worth $4,000 for the 1903
acres. He testified that the high
way, instead of damaging the
property, had really enhanced
it's value by S11O0, even minus
the four acres taken by the
government.
The board of commissioners
that decided the case was COM
posed of ElWyn Swetmann, pres
ident of the Bank of Seward;
Carl Orlander, jeweler: and
Oscar Dahl, owner of the New
Seward Hotel.

new problems came into being,
certain additions were made to
our Constitution; and
WHEREAS, the basic docu-
ment, however, has remained
unchanged and unsh AIKEN
through troubled years to main
tain a government of the people,
by the people and for the peo-
pie, to preserve justice, safe
guard domestic tranquility, pro-
mote the general welfare and
glorify the blessings of liberty
all of which has made possible
our high state of civilization,
the like of which is not to be
found anywhere else in the
world; and
WHEREAS, today, 1853 years
after it was adopted, the Con-
stitution of the United States
is the hope of freedom-loving
people all over the world and
stands as the most solid single
political guide the world has
ever known:
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Ernest
GraeniHg, Governor of the Ter

the authority in me vested, do
hereby proclaim Sunday, Sep

Alaska Youth,
Their Needs
And Problems

There are $4,000 children
under the age of Is in Alaska
today. Half of them are not yet
of school age. Our junior popu-
lation is increasing. Alaskan
births of record during the last
three years were, in 1947, 2,7O0:
in 1913, 5000; and in 1949,
$500 Reports for the first seven
months of this year indicate
that 1850 may top 1949 in this
department. The pattern in the
Territory is the same as it is
in the continental United States.
Every ten years during this
century White House Confer
ence has been held to bring to
one place all of the best think
ing with respect to children.
Many worthwhile projects have
been fostered in these confer
ences. Most of the advantages
of American children today
were given impetus at these
meetings. The fifth such confer
ence will be held in Washington,
D. c., the first week of Deem
Der. 1t is called the 1850 Mid
century White House Conference
on Children and Youth. We have
its counterpart in the Territory,
the Alaska Commission on Chill
dren and Youth. There are near
ly 100 communities in the Terri
tory which have local Commit
tees on Children and Youth.
The Seward Record has con-
sented, in spirit of public
service, to assist in bringing
the message to all of our people
about how the children of Alas
ka can be helped to achieve
the goal of receiving the best
services possible in the fields
of education, health, welfare,
labor, and recreation. A series
of articles, of which this is the
forerunner, will be published
each week during the fall and
winter. They will be informa-
tive. The articles will not be
concerned with politics or with
sectarianism, but they will be
for, of, and about Children. es.
pecially Alaska Children: Their
Needs and How We Meet Them
Any questions addressed to this
newspaper as a result of these
articles will receive prompt at
Eention.

tus. 1t was proposed to put the
office of education, the public
health service and many other
activities under the control of the

The office of education is now
controlled by a commissioner
who is one of the outstanding
educators of the country. The
public health service is now un-
der the direction of a surgeon
general who is one of the nations
leading doctors. Many of us felt
both education and wealth would
progress much faster in the
hands of experts rather than tc
have these agencies placed under
the political control Of a cabinet
officer.
The federal security agency
now handles the vast social Sc
curity system and many felt thai
the administration Of this organi-

Both the house and senate have
passed legislation greatly ex-
