advance" price of the Milford Chronicle will be $3.50
per year. Copies sent out of the State will remain

SablOff, Director of the Division of
Maternal Child Health of the State
Board of Health points out that the
paTent-child relationship is an i'm

GUS studies have shown that there
is a close relation between parents

the adequacy of the childrens' so

have also indicated that parents at
titudes toward children and their
feelings about them are more i'm
portant determinants of childrens'
health of personality than the par

they employ. Children need cOnsis-

what is considered right and wrong,
and consistent application of the

Work is expected to begin next week on the construction of 50 low rent housing units in West Jun eau, E. Glen Wilder, executive di- recter of the Alaska Housing Au thority said here today. Wilder is here to attend a special meeting of the AHA Board beins held in Juneau,
 Because bids exceeded estimates on this project. authority was given to negotiate. L. E. Baldwin of Seattle was awarded the con- tract for S767 ,O00. In addition to the construction of the apartment units, the project will consist of a community center, utilities, land scaping, streets, management and maintenance Frank Durham Of Seattle will be construction super intendent.
 The. project will be located on Douglas Island near the west ap- proach of the Gastineau Channel bridge and has been given the name of Cedar Park by the AHA Board of Commissioners. This To- cation was made necessary because TO land was available within the Juneau City limits.
 In 1949 Congress authorized $l5,- C00,000 to the AHA of which SH0,- c0O,0O0 was appropriated. A request is now before Congress for the ad- 'ditional S5,O00,000, Wilder said, be- cause the Board of Commissioners has already authorized s17,000,ooc in loans entirely to private spon- sor builders.
