account the fact that the voting
age in the 10th State is 10.
There are 22,567 more men of
voting age in Alaska than there are
women. Gals in the market better
hurry though, because the gap is
narrowing-the percentage of men
to total Alaska population increased
44.97 per cent during 1950-1960.
however the percentage of women
to the total population increased
77.31 per cent.
The researchers went on to state
that .2,746 Alaskans will reach the
magic age" Of 19 during 1867,
and will become eligible to cast
their first votes. in this years cleo

SIruCIureS! ana Jour OF CIle
building convinceS the most
searching skeptic that every
thing has been done to make
it useful.
Perhaps the one quality that
strikes a visitor is the empha-
sis upon light. Gone entirely
is the gloomy interior too often
associated with homes for ell
derly citizens. Large windows
everywhere permits sunlight to
flow into the building, giving. a
CHEEKY tone to the rooms.
One wall of the spacious din
ing room, towards Massachu-
sets avenue, has a row of large
windows extending to the ad-
joining large all-purpose room.
For special occasions the two
rooms can be made into one.
Off the all purpose room
there is a pleasant lounge,
which looks out on the en-
trance courtyard. A small
prayer room, carpeted in deep
red with a drape of the same
color covering one wall, stems
off the lounge. There is a beau
tiful Stained-glass window on
the other wall. A person using
the room for meditation can
press a button near the door
and for Is minutes hymn
music will softly fill the place.
The living rooms, on the two
upper floors, are comfortable
and bright. At each hall end
there is an area for relaxation.
The total effect is to i'm
press a visitor with the fact
that the Baptist Home is a
happy combination of good
taste, pleasant surroundings
and effective planning.

Church's Birthday

MILAN Memorial Methodist
Church is celebrating it's 10th
anniversary this year, and the
church has published an infor-
NATIVE booklet about the last
decade.
At the front there is a pic
ture of DR.. John Curry MILAN,
for whom the church was
named. He was a man of great
integrity and friendliness, and
his years in Washington were
influential ones.
A native of Ontario, Canada,
DR.. MILAN served in World
War I and then earned a mas
ter'S degree at Boston Univer-
sity. He came to Washington
in 1925 as religious education
director of Foundry Methodist
Church, serving for three years.
After 16 years as executive
secretary of the Baltimore An
nual Conference board of edu-
cation and a subsequent pas
torate at Petworth Methodist
Church to 1850, he was named
superintendent of the Wash
ington West District. DR.. Mil
liam died in 1858, leaving a val
liable spiritual heritage the
church named after him has
perpetuated.
The congregation first met in
the Viers Mill Theater on
March 2, 1852. For 312 years
the members changed the thea
ter each week into place of
worship and church school.
Class areas were identified by
their meeting places - the AL
phabet Room (where letters for
the marquee were kept, the Pit
