Children's Aid Program
Together with representatives
of the Federal Agencies, the Ter

rangements for the administration
of the new Aid to Dependent Chil
dren’s program, passed by the re
cent session of the Legislature.
This program will permit Federal
participation and will replace the
former Mother’s Pension Pro
gram, which was repealed by the
new act. Commencing July 1, the
new program will be administer
j ed without regard to race, creed
or color, and will, therefore, in-’
I elude those children who may be
eligible, of the Eskimo, Aleut or
Indian races. The old Mother’s!
Pension Law expressly discrimin
ated against such children.
Also to come in for general
planning will be the newly amen
ded juvenile Code Act, which also
removes racial discrimination fea- i
tures.
During the staff conference and !
board meeting, representatives of
several other Federal Agencies j
will participate, including repre
sentatives of the Alaska Native
Service and U. S. and Territorial
Public Health Services.

JAMES R. LITTLE HOMESICK
FOR ALASKA
James R. Little, Nomeite from
1902 to 1908, saw a recent copy of
the Nome Nugget and it made him
homesick for Alaska. He says that
he can never forget Nome of the
early days and the fine friend
ships he made and although he
has now reached the twilight of
life nothing can dim the beautiful
memories he has of Alaska. He
landed in the Klondike June 3,
1897, and wonders if there are
any old timers left who might re
member him. His address is 1333
S.W. Main Street, Portland 5, Ore.
“When I must the last mile;
Let me still hold a smile
For Alaska and friends most dear.
Let me lie there and dream
Beside the Yukon stream;
In the land of the last frontier.”
J. R. L.
In an article in Horsefeathers
Magazine he makes an interesting
observation; Point Barrow is
closer to Berlin than New York;
75 varieties of orchids grow wild
in Alaska; Seward peninsula is
the largest fully mineralized area
on earth.
