$30 Maximum Relief !
Payments
In order to acquaint the public |
with the provisions of the Ter
ritorial laws as they relate to the
General Relief program, the Di
lector of the Department of Public
Welfare, Mr. Henry A. Harmon,
wishes to make public the follow
ing information.
The General Relief prog r a m
which is financed by Territorial j
funds is established to take care
of the needs of persons who are
unable to earn a livelihood in con
sequence of immaturity, sickness i
or physical infirmity.
According to a recent interpret:!
tion by the Attorney General, no '
relief payment from General Relief
funds may exceed $30.00 per indi
vidual per month for any purpose
exclusive of medical or hospital |
care. This $30.00 maximum per in
dividual per month applies there
fore to subsistence needs, such
as food, shelter, fuel, and clothing, i
or board and care for adults or
children.
In strict adherence to this recent
interpretation of the law, it is nec
essary for the Department of Pub
lic Welfare to limit many of the
important services which come un
der the General Relief program.
The S30.00 limitation obviously will

For almost a year we have been
talking about the advantages of
house numbers. Most people agree
that it is a good thing because
with new people moving in all the
time the old way of giving an
address is impractical. We used
to say. “I live just across the street
from Joe Dokes,” or “Three doors
down from the hospital,” or “The
first house on the corner above
the church,” and the grocer, taxi
driver, or anyone on the street
could direct a stranger to the right
house.
Seward has outgrown such a
small town system. Even though
we do not have mail delivery yet,
the house number conspicuously
placed is now a necessity instead
of just a good thing.
The firemen trying to answer a
call cannot be expected to know
where everyone lives. They must
have specific directions as to street
and house. The ACS boys have so
much trouble locating people that
they frequently resort to the radio
station to announce undelivered
telegrams.
Garbage collectors, deliverymen
and the police department are all
hampered by the lack of proper
identification of houses.
There is no charge for the infor
mation concerning the number of
any house. It requires only five
minutes of your time at the City
Hall, but out of nearly a thousand
housing units in Seward, less than
fifty percent of them carry house
numbers. Let's help our utilities
to help ourselves. Stop in today
and learn your house number.
not permit the Department to pro
side the necessary living conditions
for many needy persons. Individ
uals living alone and children de
pendent upon the Agency for fos
ter care payments will be most
affected as their needs cannot pos
sibly be met within the $30.00 max
imum. The Department of Public
Welfare recognizes the effect of
this restriction, but is required to
adhere to Territorial laws and
tiieir interpretation in the admin
istration of the program. Apparent
ly only legislative action can solve
present conditions.
These policies which the Alaska
Department of Public Welfare must
follow have been of great concern
to many people in the Territory.
The Department will, therefore,
keep the people of the Territory
informed on the various activities
and policies in relation to the Gen
eral Relief program.
Soon college graduates will be
hunting positions and finding jobs.

Catholic Information
The Bible—is it the Word of God? Is i
Is it the sole rule of faith?
unerring?
Is the Bible the word of God?
Yes. The Catholic Church teaches
that the Holy Ghost inspired the
sacred writers—made them His in
struments. so that, in writing the
sacred texts, they could rightly
conceive only those things which
He bade them conceive.
Is the Bible unerring? The Bible,
as originally written, is God's
word. Therefore it cannot contain
error. But copyists, translators, and
printers were not inspired, so errors
can and did creep in. Also in some
versions deliberate omissions and
alterations were made which log
ically made such versions incom
plete and unreliable. The Catholic
Church safeguards her members
by approving the versions of the
Bible which she wishes them to
use. The Biblical Commission is
ever vigilant in seeking errors,
either typographical or due to
faulty translations—and from time
to time reports of such findings
are published.
Is the Bible the sole rule of
Faith? Our answer is that we don’t
understand how it could be. The
New Testament was not completed
until at least sixty years after the
Resurrection. The Bible as we
know it today was not compiled
until the fourth century, when
from the mass of early writings
then extant, the Church infallibly
chose those which were divinely
inspired, and thus gave to posterity
the sacred writings we now call
the Bible. Therefore, before there
was a Bible at all, the Pagan world
was largely converted to Chris
tianity. In fact, it was not until
the invention of the printing press
in the fifteenth century that the
Bible had any appreciable circu
lation among the people.
Bear in mind, also, that if the
Bible contained all the truths, it
could not omit the all-important
truth—that is, that it conains all
truth. Nowhere in the Bible can
we find such a statement. On the
contrary, St. John plainly denies
this in the very last words of his
Gospel when he says: “And there
are also many other things which
Jesus did, which, if they should be
written every one, the world itself,
I think, would not be able to con
tain the books that should be writ
ten” (John 21:25).
Therefore, to the Catholic of to
day, as to the Catholic of the
fourth century, the Bible in its
original completeness and purity is
but a divinely inspired confirma
tion of many important parts of
the total Deposit of Faith given
by Christ to His Church to guard
and infallibly interpret.
If it's anything Catholic, ask a
Catholic!
