ALASKA'S CHILDREN: THEIR NEEDS
AND HOW WE MEET THEM

CONSERVATION NOTES
By Lew Hanks
Your correspondent has a few
kind words to say today for a
I group of men. These are the mem
I bers of the Alaska Soil Conserva
tion Board and the supervisors of
the Palmer and Wasilla Soil Con
servation Sub-districts.
Frank Linn, Virgil Eckert and j
Bert Stimple of Fairbanks were
! appointed by the governor to the
| Alaska Soil Conservation Board.
They are the men who set the
; policies of the Alaska Soil Con
i servation District under which the
j Soil Conservation Service operates
in the territory. It is only under
their direction and agreement
that the Service may act. They
have a responsible job on this
board and are doing a good job.
Local operations of the Soil
Conservation Service, in the work
with farmers, are under the policy
and direction of the supervisors
of the soil conservation sub-dis
tricts. These men are elected by
the farmers of their district.
The members of the Palmer
board of supervisors are: Henry
Jensen, Bill Roark, Clarence Hoff

dealing with Alaskan children.
This series is presented as a j
part of the program sponsored
by the Territorial Commission i
on Children and Youth and the j
White House Youth Conference,
which meets in Washington,
D. C., next December.)
The family is the core of the
American way of life. Children
are an integral part of a family.
So that they may grow into the
types of individuals that meet ac
cepted standards of life, many
persons must be willing to serve j
them Most important in that list1
of persons who serve the needs of
children are the parents.
To give their children a good
home, parents must give that
home a relaxed atmosphere, in
spired by warmth and affection.
The children and adults in that
home must take pleasure in one
another’s company. To give the
children the sense of security
they need, there must be order
and regularity in the home. Re
ligious teaching at an early age
"is one of the best methods of giv
ing children a sense of security.
Parents should know what
ought to be expected of children
at various ages and they should ,
place increased responsibility •
upon their children as they ad- >
vance in age.
Children should be allowed to

help make the family decisions
with their parents.
Parents, as well as brothers and
sisters, should accept the fact of
individual differences in the
children in the home. Parents
must be willing to let each child
become his own best self, in rec
ognition of those individual dif
ferences.
