"City of Children” Home, School
Is Complete Community For Moose
iviooseneart, tne lamed Moose
"‘City of Children,” is a home
and school owned and main
tained by the Loyal Order of
Moose for children of its de
ceased members.
Mooseheart is a complete
community in itself. Situated
on 1,109 acres of Illinois farm
land in the Fox River Valley,
about 38 miles west of Chicago,
Mooseheart has its own homes,
schools, church, hospital, stores,
post office and utilities.
The entrance fee for Moose
heart is extremely high. Everj

one or both of his parents be
fore he was eligible for admit
tance. Whenever possible, tht
mother of the children is invit
ed to accompany them tc
Mooseheart.
In assuming the obligation ol
raising the family of a deceas
ed member, the Moose Frater
nity makes every effort to pro
vide the children with home
like surroundings and the best
training and education possible,
Children live in units known
as residence halls with a mini
mum of eight and a maximum
of 24 in each hall. They are as
signed to halls according to
school classification, age and
social maturity so that they
may associate with youngsters
of their own age group.
House parents assigned to
each hall do their utmost to
provide normal home life. Each
hall has its own kitchen and a
cook to prepare the food, but
the students are required to
help with the serving of the
food and clearing of the tables
much as they are in any home.
In addition, they are respon
sible for the cleanliness of their
rooms.
The honor system is in effect
at Mooseheart and children are

FORMER DEMOCRAT HEADS
ANCHORAGE REPUBLICAN CLUB
Joe C. Williford, Jr., a recent
graduate of the University of
Alaska and a former member
of the U of A Young Democrats
Club was elected as president
of the Anchorage Young Re
publicans Club last week.
John Gill, Former club presi
dent, said that “I am especial
ly pleased to have Joe succeed
me as President. It points up
two important facts. One, the
Republican Party is open to all
thoughtful people and secondly
the Republican Party attracts
thoughtful young people. I will
be happy to work for a former
Democrat who will do a fine
job.”
Joe Williford commenting on
his election said,” By tradition
and heredity I was a Democrat
but in my opinion the Demo
crats have perverted the prin
ciples on which my country
was founded. In addition the
Democratic Party has long
since been replaced by the Re
publican Party as the party
that really has at heart the in
terest and welfare of the larg
est segment of the American
public: the working man.
Democratic Party socialism
has no place on the American
>
scene. A free man should be
able to think and act for him
self and not be led or misled by
an ever-enlarging federal gov
ernment. On the basis of these
thoughts I became a Republi
can by choice."

ATTENTION
Anyone purchasing land, buildings, items of
personal property as trucks, cars, busses, cows,
horses, etc. within the Palmer School District or
City of Palmer is advised to check the tax status
of the property first.
Taxes against such properties constitute a
lien against the property and can and will be
collected from the new owner if unpaid by the
previous owner.
The tax status of any property can be quickly
learned by phoning PI 5-3250 or by visiting the
Tax Office over the Bank. It is unpleasant to find
there are delinquent taxes against a property one
has bought in good faith. CHECK FIRST.

All boys are given military
training. They become mem
bers of the Mooseheart Battal
ion of the National Defense
Cadet Corps when they enter
junior high school and continue
until they graduate. The corps’
record speaks for itself as it
has received the highest fed
eral rating given for the past
several years.
Much emphasis is placed on
sports. Mooseheart varsity
teams are known as the “Red
Ramblers” and compete in foot
ball, basketball, wrestling and
track in the Little Seven Con
ference. In addition, an exten
sive intra-mural sports and rec
creation program is conducted.
Because Mooseheart is a pri
vate -school, officials are able
to set aside one class period of
each week for religious instruc
tions. Every evening except
Friday and Saturday the chil
dren gather in their respective
halls for 15 minutes to study
the Bible or their Catechism.
The Mooseheart Child Guid
ance Clinic was founded in 1930
not only to serve the needs of
Mooseheart children, but also
to make contributions to the ad
vancement of knowledge in the
field of child care and training.
Purposes of the Clinic are to
give the Mooseheart adminis
tration as complete a know
ledge as possible of each indi
vidual child in the community,
to follow the life and develop
ment of each child during his
stay at Mooseheart, and to fur
nish the administration with
special and general surveys for
the evaluation of teaching and
training procedures.
More than 5,000 children
have resided at Mooseheart
since it was founded in 1913.
The outstanding record of
achievement of Mooseheart
graduates is glowing evidence
of the comprehensive training
they received while at the
Child City.
Mooseheart today is training
and educating more than 500
children to take their places in
society as useful and produc
tive citizens. And Mooseheart
with its spacious campus, 101
fireproof buildings and tree-lin
ed streets stands ready to serve
dependent children of its de
ceased members as an example
of true family fraternalism in
action.
MOOSEHAVEH IS MAINTAINED
FOR AGED MOOSE AND WIVES
Moosehaven, the “City of
Contentment,” is a home main
tained by the Loyal Order of
Moose for its aged members
and their wives on the banks of
the St. John's River, 15 miles
south of Jacksonville, Fla.
After the founding of Moose
heart, the famed “Child City,”
for children of deceased mem
bers, the fraternity turned its
attention to plans for a home
for its dependent aged mem
bers. During these early years
a group of old folks resided at
Mooseheart.
The Moose eventually bought
a resort hotel on a tract of
land at Orange Park, Fla., and
on Nov. 1, 1922, Moosehaven
was formally opened. The first
22 residents were those who
had been living at Mooseheart.
They set up house keeping in
the hotel which had been re
christened Aid Hall.
From the beginning, much of
the work necessary to keep
Moosehaven running has been
done by old folks who live
there. They serve as their own
gardeners, barbers, housekeep
ers, kitchen helpers, dining
room helpers, maintenance
crews, and nurses.
Since Moosehaven is in the
nature of a small democracy, it
operates on the principle that
it should be run with the help
of those who live there and
many of the community prob
lems which arise are threshed
out in periodic meetings of the
town hall variety.
During the past 30 years all
of the original buildings on the
65-acre site have been replaced.
The physical plant today con
sists entirely of modern build
ings scientifically designed and
built to provide pleasant and
comfortable accommodation*
for the aged residents.
The Community Building, a
gift of the second-degree of the
Moose, houses the offices of the
superintendent and administra
tive officers, research clinic,
postal service, barber shop
and community auditorium.
The Northwest Building, a gift
of the lodges of Montana, Idaho,
Oregon and Washington, is a
two-wing structure with the
commissary in one wing and
the sewing rom, laundry and
workshops in the other.
Each of the buildings in
which Moosehaven people live
is a self-contained home, with
its sleeping and living rooms,
kitchen and dining rooms.
The ideal of Moosehaven has
not changed with the years.
Every inhabitant is urged to do
what he feels he is able or qual
ified to do and receives an al
lowance for these services.
Those no longer able to work
are called “Sunshiners.” Their
job is to sit in rocking chairs
in the sun and smile at passers
by. For Moosehaven believes
that kindness and fellowship
are important too, perhaps
more than ever before.
