REPORT Being
GIVEN IN D. {.
Need for Better Housing,
ReueationaI Programs
and Institutions

The final report of the Alaska
Commission on Children and Youth
which is being presented now
to the midcentury White House
Conference on Children and Youth
outlines the Alaska situation from
many angles. 1t was prepared by
George F. Crisman, executive secre-
tary, with the aid of 125 commit
tee members throughout the Ter
ritory.
Pertinent facts are given regard
ing the vastness of the Alaska area,
sparseness of population, the sea-
sonal industries, transportation, and
the agencies working in the inter-
ests of children. While the popu-
lation of Alaska has increased rs
percent in the past ten years, the
population of youth under 81 years
has increased $50 percent-from
IS ,OC0 to $4,000, the report states.
There are $4,000 children in the
schools.
The survey was largely based on
cuestionnaires sent to 1877 COM
munities with about one-half be-
ing completed and returned. 1t
was revealed that the larger cent
ers such as Anchorage, Fairbanks,
Juneau, Ketchikan, Kodiak and
Sitka have taxed themselves, but
with the exception of Anchorage
none has levied a tax for youth
program as such. A year ago An
chorage levied a one-mill tax on
all property for a supervised recre-
ational program with a long range
program which was started in
! 1948 for a civic center, indoor SWIM
, ming pool, Fairgrounds and other
facilities.
The report says, THE survey has
pointed out lack of recreational

but these are not available tc
children and youth in everyday
life. Fifty-eight percent of tbs
communities surveyed said that they

were of very limited extent"

of the mining location and preclud-
es the claimant and any other per-
son acting in his interest from
relocating the claim for period of
three years after the abandonment.
Failure to file with the bureau the
location notices described above
also constitutes abandonment with
the same consequence. This would
be completely new provision in
the mining laws applicable to pub
lie lands.
Advertisements Required
Advertisements of applica-
tons for patent are to be made
once a week for four consecutive
weeks. In the case of a contest,
personal notDs~of at least 10 days
must be given to the opposing
party or, if he cannot be found, by
publication once a week for four
consecutive weeks in a newspaper
in the county where the claim is
located. This is a modification OF
an existing requirement.
with respect to mining on
lands which have been disposed
of by the United States with a
mineral reservation, prospec-
tor would be required to file with
the Secretary bond for security
for damages to the surface of the
land and to crops and improve
ments thereon. The holder of a
patent for the minerals underlying
such lands may likewise be required
to compensate the owner OF the
surface for damages. This, also, is
a modification of existing laws.

Professional bleaching not only
lightenS the hair so that it is less

tend to destroy the hair altogether.
Once a month is about the right
spacing between bleachings.
Caution: Be sure to have a patch
test on your arm before allowing
any bleach whatsoever to be ap-
piled to your face. You may find
that you are allergic to one bleach
and will then have to experiment
with another bleach in a second
patch test.
When you have found the
bleach that agrees with you and
gets results, stick to it. If you so
desire, you can then transfer the

privacy of your own room.
