FAIRBANKS, R-AlaSka Con-
stitutional Convention delegates
Tuesday ended two days of con-
sideration of the Bill of Rights
with a debate over indirect aid to
private schools. The debate re-
volved around the health, educa-
ton and welfare article.
Jack Coghill of Nenana called
for inclusion of the phrase "indi-
rect benefit" in prohibition
against payment of public monies
for direct benefit of any religious
or other private educational insti
tuition.
The majority of delegates took
the position, however, that includ-
ing indirect benefits in the ban
might do away with such services
as free lunches, bus transporta
ton and even payment by the
state welfare agency of board and
room to parentlesS children. Cog
hills motion failed 34-19.
A letter from the Alaska Dept.
of Welfare to the attorney general,
which was read to the convention,
pointed out that five private chill
dren's institutions receiving well
fare aid are operating schools.
A move to delete the entire ref
erence of public funds for private
schools as being not pertinent to
the constitution lost, Alb.

Psychiatrist Advises: IL
You Want To Get Ahead,
Get Yourself a Neurosis

SALT LAKE CITY, ga Uni
versity of Utah psychiatry profess
sor advises: Don't take offense if
someone calls you a neurotic.
A neurosis can be one of your
greatest assets, says DR.. c. H.
Hardin Branch, provided it isn't
so bad that it causes disability.
Theoretically Branch says "a
perfectly well-balanced individual
wouldn't have any ambition but
would be content just to sit
around doing nothing"
Branch says a little neurosis
serves to fire ambition and make
a person creative and productive.
But he says a neurosis is
disease when it becomes severe
enough to prevent person from
getting along with others or from
carrying out his daily tasks eff

!. A DESIGN OF leadership and learn
ing has been woven in Saltwater county.
The design began in 1855 after the
home demonstration agent, Alice Han
cock, talked with home demonstration
club women throughout the county and
they decided clothing workshops would
not be an impossible undertaking.
''This type of workshop could be set
up for any project, says Mrs. Han
cock, "but the women in my county
are most interested in learning to make
well-fitted and attractive dresses.
She explained how the schools work.
Since the cotton dress workshop is the
first of the series of clothing instruc-
tions, Mrs. Hancock used it as an ex-
ample. A circular letter was sent early
in the year to see how many would be
interested in the course.

10 or Is days before the workshop be-

demonstration agent explains basic in
formation about line in dress, patterns,
equipment and materials.
In the period before the school starts,
the class buys and prepares the ma

need, such as pressing hens and wrist
band pin-cushions.
During the actual workshop the wom-

they cut out and construct the gar
ments.
Cotton is easier to work with and
in case an irreparable mistake is made,
the cost is not as great as it would be
if more expensive material was used.
Basic Techniques

Stress is put on pressing techniques,
