APRIL CRUSADERS
 TO FIGHT CANCER

April is devoted to an intensive educational and fund-raising cru- sade against cancer and calls for q drive aginst the disease that last year killed an estimated 210,000 Americans.
 The drive will begin in Juneau April 25.
 Why is cancer singled cut for such an intensive attack ir which physicians, researchers and the public unite? Because so many thousands of lives-perhaps half of those who develop the disease-can be saved.
 Cancer is a disease of the cells. It occurs when for reasons not en- tirely understood, cells throw off normal rules of behavior and be- gin to act like gangsters. Instead of being useful working citizens of the body they devote their energy to growth, and they steal the food of normal cells. The 1851 Cancer Crusade of the American Cancer Society seeks funds to combat this outlaw dis ease. Your dollars help guard your family. Strike back! Give to con- quer cancer.

 Friday morning the two Baltzo children went out in the yard to feed Sylvester his breakfast of dog meal mash. But Sylvester wasn't having any. He craned hiss neck. Tapped his wings and took off into the wild blue wonder, broken leg and battle scars forgotten.
 The Baltzo children are in tears over loss of their pal. Empire nim- rods are chagrined over loss of an easy-to-get goose dinner, all of which illustrates the Einstein theory in simplest form. Now The Empire goose dinner will have to be gotten the hard way - getting double pneumonia behind blind on Eagle river.
 Moral of the story is: It pays to read The Empire.

WELFARE BOARD MAKES REPORT ON
 RECENT MEETING

The Board of Public Welfare held four-day session in Juneau starting April 10th. and completing the agenda on April 18th. The Board consists of Reverend G. Edgar Gallant, First Division, Mrs. Frances Longley, Second Division, Mrs. Evangeline Atwood, Third Di- vision, and MT. Ivar Skarland, Fourth Division. Father Gallant was elected Chairman for the meet ings.
 Changes in regulations in the Aid to Dependent Children law in- creased the maximum grant from s5O.00 for the relative and first child to $6O00, and from $2500 for each additional child to $30.00. Changes in this legislation make it possible to include children from 16 to Is years of age who are regu- larly attending school.
 The only regulation affecting the Old Age Assistance program was the inclusion of non-citizens who had resided in the Territory since 1885.
 The Boards requested appropri- ation for the General Relief pro- gram was $660,00000. The Legisla- ture, however. appropriated only $450,00000, and at the same time increased the legal monthly maxi mum from $3000 to $60.00 per per- son. The Board made a complete study of this program in order to adopt restrictive regulations so that the appropriation could be stretched out over the coming bi- ennium.
 The Board recommended clarifi- cation on the General Relief pro- gram as they felt that the public was under the impression that General Relief provides for people only subsistence needs flood, shell ter, fuel, etc. where actually 1t also provides medical care, hospi- talization, and burial. Henry A. Harmon, Director, reported that 65 persons at the present time were being cared for in hospitals through out the Territory at tremendous cost to the General Relief program.
 Preliminary plans and policies were set up for the new Aid to the Blind program, effective September l, 1851.
 Services for children were given a great deal of consideration during the Board meeting.
 Plans for care and treatment of children committed under the Ter ritory's Juvenile Code, and the re- responsibilities of parents to pay for the support and care of child rcn were two of the important matters given consideration. The Legislative action in appropriatine $20,O00 for the establishment of re- ceiving homes was viewed with a great deal of satisfaction. as il would be possible to provide good temporary placement facilities fol children, thus avoiding the housing of children in jails.
 The next meeting of the Board will be held during the month ol October 1851.
