LITTLE SUNSHINE!
FOR DESTITUTE
OLD FOLKS
(By United Press)
NEW YORK, April 18. — Housing
experts are preparing plans to be pre
sented to the National Conference of
Charities and Correction at Pittsburg
in June, which will make life more
liveable for destitute old men and
women in country poorhouses all over
the country. The plans will be pre
sented in competitive form.
No other class of dependents has
been so completely neglected as the
aged, according to the statement of
I)r. I. Ij. Nascher, of New York. "The
child dependent has the world for its
guardian; the aged dependent is dis
owned by his relatives," says this emi
nent authority. "There are scores of
works dealing with the child in the
Lome and In institutions. Until re
:ently there was not a single work
in the Institutional care of the aged."
I)r. Nascher is the author of the only
tmerican scientific work on the sub
ect, a book entitled. “Geriatrics.”
Today there is scarcely a home for
he aged in which the special problem
>f feeding is understood or even con
ildered. Dietaries are arranged either
laphazard, or else copied from instl
utions of a different character.

"US FOR 8AM." (
While all Europe la a shambles
And the whole world Is at war,
And half the land the sun shines on
Is drenched In human gore.
When every nation counts the men I
It knows are tried and true <
We send this message to you Sam, |
"Alaska stands with you.” |
You never treated us quite right.
You grabbed away our coal c
And reserved all our fire wood
And what we used we stole. (
You soaked us on our cable tolls (
But we don't give a damn, *
At twenty-eight cents per word wo say ]
We're with you. Uncle Sam. I
I
You squandered untold millions I
On the lousy Philippines, i ,
But you always made Alaskans i
Oo and rustle for their beans.
Your Black nnd Tan possessions I
While they cost you quite a few
Can never be depended on, I
But, we'd go to hell for you. I
We're quite unsued to luxuries, ] i
We've always played alone, j i
When we asked for help to build our; 1
trails
You handed us a stone.
You four-flushed on the railroad,
But we don’t give a damn.
If they monkey with the Eagle,
We're with you, Uncle Sam.
You gave us leave to make some laws,
Then tied our hands behind.
This gift to us was just the same
As pictures to the blind.
Your laws all have a "joker,”
Made to catch the sourdough.
And it's hard to beat your game, Sam,
When It's framed up down below.
We've always been the dumping
ground
For your political misfits.
But, Sam, If you're in trouble,
We're willing to cry “quits.”
We've never had an even break,
But we don’t care a damn,
If the Lion growls, remember this, !
We're with you. Uncle Sam.
We're used to meeting troubles,
And If you put us to the test,
You'll find Alaska loves you, Sam,
Far better than the rest.
But, Sam, when this is over
As morning follows night.
Pray give us your attention
And set some matters right.
We need some decent cable rates,
We need some decent malls.
We need some decent coast lights.
And we need some decent trails.
You've given these to all the rest,
But we don't care a damn,
If It’s full grown men you're needin',
We're with you, Uncle Sam.
—Pat O’Connor, Seward.
