The Alaska Mental Health Act now before the U. S. Senate pro- vides for good procedures for the territory's mental health program and criticisms of it in the states appear to be based on misconcep- tions of the bills content, Dr. Charles R. Hayman, acting commis- sioner of health, commented this week. The bill already has passed in the House of Representatives.

Mrs. R. B. Crawford, leader of

Family at Mount Vernon" gave
an interesting account of Mount
Vernon and stated that in the
year l747 George Washington. a
lad of Is came to Mount Vernon
to live with his older half brother,
Lawrence Washington In the year
1852, Lawrence Washington died
and two years later the Mount

and took up their residence at
Mount Vernon in the spring of
that year. At this point. the
speaker drew happy picture of
the plantation and life there for
fifteen years as southern planters.
Mrs Crawford told of the life on
plantation. giving a vivid picture
of one of the most noted slaves
Billy Lee. who was famous as
WaShington's bodyguard serving
with him throughout the Revolu-
ton and for whom provision was
made in the Generals will.
In the year ITS, however. the
picture changed and Washington
was called to Philadelphia as a
delegate to the Continental Con-
gress. He was appointed COM
mander-i chief of the Continnte-
al Army, and six years passed
before he was again at his below
ed home, and only then. to pause
briefly as he went to and from
Yorktown. In December 1888 he
rendered his resignation to Con-
gress and turning once more
homeward. He reached there on
Christina Eve.
Mrs Crawford said it seemed
strange in view of the many inn
portant places Washington filled
that so little was written of Mar
tina Washington. but there was no
doubt she was well-trained in So
cial accomplishments and was
woman of good Judgment and a
loving heart.
In 1889 Washington become the
first President and except for
brief periods he was away from
home for eight more years. The
work of Mount Vernon was carried
on during this time by his able
manager. Lund Washington. dis
tant kinSman. and we find the
mansion was enlarged and the
gardens extended.
Washington retired from public
life in 1889 and again returned
to Mount Vernon. Here he died
on December IA. 1893 and here he
IS buried. Martha Washington
died in 1902 and was buried in
the family vault.
At the conclusion of the pro-
gram. pictures were passed of the
Washington family. while the
hostess. assisted by Mrs. Irvine
Watkins and Miss Carrie Spencer,
served salad course.
