Political Complexion

When the public welfare needs a shot in the arm, the politicos climb on the bandwagOn, or sometimes they even haul it out and give it a shove. There was something more than a slight hint of this last week up in Juneau when Delegate B. L.. Bartlett and Labor Commissioner Henry Benson held a meeting, widely advertised as a means of helping the poor fishermen. From reports Bob and Henry's hearts just bled for the unfortunate seiner and the hapless troller. Some fishermen groups to the Westward tapped their treasuries, or possibly their private pockets to get down to Ju- neau to hear the "apostles of the underdog" make their bids for votes under the banner of furthering public welfare.
 Bartlett and Benson will be Up for reelection in the coming year.
 Editor Sid Charles of the Ketchi- kan News had an apt description for it. He labeled it the 3-B's - Bartlett, Benson and boloney.

 THROUGH THE SENTINEL
 PERTSCOPF
And to Promote Public Welfare
PERISCOPE
8

The Givernor was off for Wash ington this week to lay few things before Interior Secretary Douglas Mckay dealing with Alas kas public welfare Some of his D. ogram concerned what the boys often refer to as long range plan ning", but, said a report from his office. winter work for fishermen who may suffer because of the poor fishing season will also receive a major share of the Governors at tention in Washington.
 Commenting on the situation, be- fore hopping a plane with his spec ial assistant Bob DeArmond, for the national capital, Coy. Heintzleman put it this way:
 Tt has been frequently stated by tahe people most concerned that they are not looking for a dole. I think we can arrange for work pro- grams which will also assist in the future development of the Terri tory.
 While we know that a good many Alaskans will be in need of work this winter, it is going to be hard to convince Washington that we have had a disaster compared with the Texas dought, mid-western floods and other such occurances."
 Meanwhile, a step had been talk en toward a work program by way of thanksgiving operations. Under the plan, the Forest Service would set up the special timber sales areas where hand-loggers may Op- crate. The Ketchikan Pulp company will buy hemlock logs for $25 per thousand board feet, delivered at the mill at Ward Cove.
 In areas where the Alaska Ma tive Service operates cooperative canneries or has other representa- tion, that agency has been asked to take over administration of the logging programs. This will be talk en up by the Governor with the Off, flee of Indian Affairs in Washing ton. Plan would call for the ANS to help provide tools and equipment, arrange for payment of stumpage, assembel the logs, advance commis- sary supplies or credit and arrange for delivery of the logs to Ward Cove.
 While the latter is faintly rem iniscent of the old WPA (Works Progress Administration when rake and a pile of leaves was a badge of merit, we hope it works out so that the long delayed timber workmen can make decent liveli- hood producing 1t for the chanels of trade.

The first step in teaching is
Of great Importance. The teach
er should be well prepared to
set the stage so that the interest
of pupils is aroused. She should
deal clearly with the subjects
in order that the children under
stand her meaning and succeed
in learning.
This first lesson should not
be too long. 1t is well to touch
upon ideas which are not strange
to the youngsters, while seeking
to stir their childish imagina-
tions with something new to
them. The children must not
be worried or wearied, for then
they may leave the classroom
with a distaste for school. This
first appearance of a teacher
must be friendly.
Don't try to give too much
information at one time-just
enough so that the youngsters
can understand. In their young
way, the pupils must eventually
show that they have clearly un-
derstood the lesson.
Much Of the difficulty pupils
face in the upper grades can be
traced to inattention when they
were beginners. Therefore, the

First Step in Teaching

teacher of the younger children
should do her utmost to make
certain that a pupil does not
leave the classroom with a hazy
idea of the task - such as
guessing the sum of z and 8.
They are apt to carry these
foggy ideas through other grades
and when they are confronted
with real arithmetic problems
they are discouraged, as they
might well be.
Teachers of advanced grades
are frequently too busy to pay
attention to fundamental steps
and as q rule pupils who are
backward in some tasks have no
inclination to brush up on them.
There is a readiness for each
stage of learning and when that
is allowed to pass without abb
Sorbing the lesson, it is learned
in way only with severe effort
and, as a rule, with Scant results.
Though they are dealing with
very young children, teachers
In these beginners grades must
be experts. So much depends
on them that they should be
thoroughly skilled in their pro-
fession. When they realize a
youngSter fails to understand a
lesson, they know what to do

To the lady who inquired
about twins biting and pulling
hair, we found that by separ-
ating them when they did
these things. they soon learned
that in order to play together
they had to stop these actions.
We find that even at 4. our
twins will still fight over the
same toy. but by taking that
toy away from both of them
for a day or so, they are
learning how to share their
things.
Now for a question. Has any
one found a successful way to
patch rubber boots which wear
through just at the edge of the
heels. We have tried tire

NEW YORK

Mrs. J. C. w., Washington
I have a problem which I
hope some RICH readers can
help me with. Your column is
one of the most worthwhile
and informative articles I've
ever read in any newspaper. I
have had so many problems
solved by reading your column
every night.
My husband, who is in the
Air Force, is returning from
Germany sometime this month
and it would be the thrill of a
lifetime for me to meet him in
New York after eighteen long
months. However. / know
nothing about New York, but
friends have told me that there
is someplace in New York
where one can call to find out
what boats are docking each
day and at approximately
what time they are expected.
Could any one tell me where
I can find this information? I
would be extremely grateful
and so would our year old
daughter who has never seen
her Daddy, and would love to
see him walk down the gang
plank. My husband is going
to send US a cable telling the
name of the boat and when he
is leaving. I certainly will
appreciate anyone's help.
