ST. MARK NURSERY SCHOOL

Seven years ago there was no
nursery school in this area to
which mothers could send their
pre-school children. Fifteen
mothers, conscious Of this need,
formed themselves into a COM
mittee to see what could be done
to remedy this great lask. st.
Mark Center cooperated with this
group and this was the beginning
of St. Mark Nursery School.
Starting from scratch with one
teacher, % children and their en-
thusiastic mothers, plus the will
to succeed, the school grew in two
years into q fully accredited
nursery school. After eyen
years, there is full-fledged nur-
sery school serving the area be-
tween Dudley and Seaver SITS,
bounded by Washington st. and
Blue Hill ave.
A living example of the demo-
cratic way of life, st. Mark Nur-
sery School operates on an inter-
faith, inter-racial basis from the
standpoints of both staff and en-
rollment. The purpose of the
school is to work with children
ard parents to help both to un-
derstand better the growing pro-
cess. In this way contribution
is made to bettering the COM

Editorial
By MEX

The visit of Senator Hugh Butler of Nebraska to Alaska this month is regarded bitterly by some communities as need less expense to the country They contend that the case for statehood of Alaska has already been presented so efficiently and clearly that there is no need of personal contact with the little men" on the subject.
 It is not known whether Sew ard is on the Senator's itinerary, but every effort is being made to bring him here. Sewardites do not lay any claim to being other than little men," and as such feel every right to be heard on statehood or any other sub ject.
 It is felt that the Senator will come to Seward, if for no other reason than to continue the friendship between Seward and the State of Nebraska which was established early in June by the visit of g men and boys from that State.
 In the past Senator Butler has not been unfriendly to this city, and, by seeing for himself the situation on the railroad and docks here, if convinced, he could prove to be a powerful friend.
 We sincerely hope that Sew ard will have the honor of en- tertaining him some time this month.

.Addicts Bill
1t Permits Sending
Them to Health
Service Hospitals
By Miriam Gutenberg

The House Commerce Com
mittee today favorably reported
the bill allowing the District to
send dope addicts committed
under the new compulsory hos
pitalization law to Public Health
Service hospitals. The bill now
goes to the House for action.
Chances for House passage Of
the bill today looked favorable on
the basis Of q tentative. promise
from House Majority Leader
Halleck to have 1t brought up
among nom controversial bills. i
Congress has already passed
the measure to compel District
addicts to take treatments. The
measure now under consideration
would authorize Public Health
Service hospitals to admit a
limited number Of District ad-
diets until the city can provide
its own facilities for them.
Under the bill so non-criminal
addicts could be admitted from
the District at any one time
at District expenSe-for the
next three years.
Mr.. Halleck, in outlining the
program for possible action dur
ing today's session, told the
House some non-controversial
bills might be brought up, in
cluding one from the Commerce
Committee.
Representative Miller, Repub-
lican, Of Nebraska who Spon-
sored both the original COM
pulsory disqualification bill and
the companion bill, Immediately
rose to make it clear that this
one was the addict -hospitaliza-
ton bill.
DR.. Miller said he had assured
Mr.. Halleck that the bill was
controversial. In its revised
form the bill has the blessing
Of the Federal Budget Bureau
and the Health, Education and
Welfare Department.
The District Commissioners
sent Congress an urgent appeal
for action on the bill because the
District now has no facilities for
disqualification Of addicts to be
committed under the new COM
pulsory treatment law.
