Alaska Children:
Their Needs; How
We Meet Them
i
_
(Alaska Commission on Children
and Youth)
This is the second of a series ofj
articles dealing with Alaska chil-1
dren. In this article we will begin
a discussion of Healthy Personal
ity Development Through Family;
^ Life. I
The family is the core and the;
bulwark of our American way of
life. Sometimes the family is brok
en up and the next best substitute
must be found, but this will be
taken up in a later article.
Children, as an integral part of 1
.. a family, have the opporunity of
being nurtured as their Creator
intended. So that they may grow
into the types of individuals that
meet the accepted standards, many
persons must be ready, willing
and able to serve them. First of
all, their parents. To supply their;
children with a good home the
f parents must maintain a relaxed
atmosphere inspired by warmth
and affection, in which the adults
and the children take pleasure in
one another’s company. There
should be sufficient order and reg
ularity to give children a sense of
security.
Parents should have an aware
s
nes< of what is reasonable to ex-:
peel of children at various ages.
They should place increased re
sponsibility upon their children
for their own behavior as they ad
vance in age. Introduction of re
ligious concepts very early in
their children’s lives is onq of the
best methods of enhancing their
sense of security. The practice
% . r
should be established of allowing
children to participate in the mak
ing of family decisions. Another
happy trait is the acceptance, by
all members of the family groups,
of individual differences, and will
ingness on the part of adults to
let each child become his own
best self.

_
WASHINGTON, (/P)—President

question of whether he will sign |
or veto the subversives control i
bill passed overwhelmingly by I
_ i
Congress.
He did indicate early action,
saying there will be no suspense
about what he does with the bill.
Mr. Truman told a news confer-!
ence the bill hasn’t reached his!
desk ‘but as soon as it does, he (
will let reporters know his views;
on it. |
While he didn’t indicate whe-1
ther he would sign or veto it, he
previously has shown displeasure
with many of its provisions and
had said he would not sign an ear- !
lier form.
Senate and House passed thej
measure by landslide votes, well
aware that President Truman may
veto it promptly. Backers of the
measure claimed thev could com
t
mand plenty of votes to override j
him if he did. !
Barring an\r big switch in sen-:
timent, the figures bore them out.
The Senate vote was 51 to 7, the!
House vote 312 'to 20—both far ini

Arctic Bear Meat
Not So Good
■
LONG BEACH, Calif. (/P) —
Months ago, deep in the Arctic,
chief engineman James D. Sharp
and metalsmith first class R. T.
Clark planned a dinner of bear
steaks when they got home.
They’d shot the bear, cut off
fancy steaks and deep froze them
aboard their ship.
Last night they hauled them
out for their wives to cook. The
grill was barely sizzling when the
house started to smell like the wa
terfront at low tide. Arctic bears,
it seems, live on fish.
“That,” said Sharp, “was the
fishiest fish I’ve ever smelled.”
Sharp, Clark and wives gave up.
But they learned that the dogs
at the city animal shelter, love bear
meat, even if it tastes like fish.
A Nome lemming has been add
ed to the family of Pt. Barrow
lemmings which were brought to
Nome several weeks ago by Sally
Carrighar, who is studying these
small creatures.
Dorothy Thompson is reported
to have caught the small rodent in
her bare hands just out of Nome,
near the C.A.A. towers.
