A child wants to cat when he is
hungry, or when the food offered
especially appeals to him. He doesn’t
want to eat as ‘‘a special favor” to
mania, or nurse, or big sister.
All of you mothers probably know
families who try “to sell’ their chil
»—___ dren on eating
the meals regu
larly placed
before them, by
coaxing: “Now, i
eat your cereal
for Grandma!”,
or: “If you don’t
eatyour spinach,
ma*ia is going
to cry!”
Imagine vour
reaction as an
Claud C. Ruch adult, if you
were coaxed to eat, in order to make
someone else happy, instead of be
cause you were hungry or enjoyed
the food set before you! Then, de
cide you’re not going to allow a
complex to develop (in your own
mir.d) about your child’s eating
habits.
In Childcraft books, Mary M.
Aldrich and the late Dr. C. Anderson
Aldrich, co-authors of “Babies Are
Human Beings”, declare that “eat
ing is one of life’s unique pleasures.
The reducing salons,” they point
out, “are crowded because grownups
like the table too much. Expect the
child to follow this normal human '
pattern, and he will live up to expec- |
tations. It is not necessary to coax
a child to cat.” *
Like adults, children are not hun
gry at every meal a»*d may have
times when they do not feel like
eating, or when they will eat very
little. That is perfectly natural.
Family arguments during mealtime
may upset a child emotionally, so
that he loses interest in the food
placed before him. A stuffy room,
an uncomfortable chair, or a monot
onous diet of badly-cooked food, may
also cause a child to eat poorly..
UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA
FINANCES SOUND
Reporting on the University’s
finances to the Board of Regents
at their recent mseting, Dr. Moore
announced that the University
had recently brought itself out of
debt.
He recalled that on the day he
took office, July 1st last year,
there was not enough cash on
hand to meet the preceeding day’s
month-end payroll in full. To pro
vide for this and other previously
made commitments, the Univer
sity was obliged to raise $158,000
in a short time during the sum
mer of 1949. Dr. Moore paid trib
ute to the banks, companies and
individuals who helped the Uni
versity during its two recent fin
ancial crises, those of 1948 and
1949.
Paul McCarthy, oldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy, arrived
from Pullman, Washington, yes

Washington State College in his
senior year.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Dapcevich and
children returned to Nome yes
terday with Pan American. Mr.
Dapcevich is with the Alaska

SMALL HOPE FOR
EARLY CLOSE OF CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, (#*>— Congres
sional leaders have all but aban
doned hope for final adjournment
of the 81st Congress by August 1.1
There is just too much major !
legislation pending and many
members seeking reelection this
year are reluctant to go home un
til the performance record looks ,
more impressive.
Speaker Rayburn <D-Tex.> said
it would be “optimistic” to look
for adjournment by August 1, al
though the House docket is in
fairly good shape.
The outlook isn’t so rosy in the
Senate, where a filibuster by sen
ator Cain (R-Wash.) last week de- !
layed action until today on a bill !
extending the federal rent control
program. The slow-down also
may put off a decision on other
major matters.
Phyllis Irene Roell. daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Richard \V. Roell, |
was awarded a certificate of com- !
petence from Stephens College
when she graduated last week. (
The Certificate is awarded on a
basis of high academic and per
sonality requirement and is a dis
tinct achievement, according to a
dispatch from the school. Miss
Roell, who is now traveling with
her sister Mary Margaret, was
awarded a certificate in the field
of Airline Traffic.
Both girls plan to return home
this month.

TOURIST PROGRAM
According to Mr. Thomas Polly,
president of the Chamber of Com
merce of Seattle, Alaska is losing
thousands of dollars a year by not
having a vigorous tourists pro
gram.
Mr. Pelly stated in Anchorage
recently that the survey made in
Washington had shown that last
year 2,000,000 tourists had passed
through that state and had drop
ped $123,000,000 enroute. He also
stated that this is a small sum
set by California standards where
an active tourist campaign has
been carried on for many years.
He urges Alaska to get an all
over program and work together
with the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce for a co-operative program.
Edgar Weokoluk, aged 25 years,
passed away at his mother’s home
yesterday morning after being ill
for several days.
Edgar was for many years em
ployed by “Cappv” McDougal at
the Nome Drug Store and later
worked for the N. C. Co.
He is survived by his mother,
two sisters in Nome, a brother,
Amos, in Sitka, and two half
brothers, Charles, of Nome, and '
Thomas Riley of Anchorage.
The funeral is scheduled for
Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 from
the Lavinia Wallace Young Mis
sion with Rev. R. Treat in charge.
