12 Rules for Raising Delinquent Children
^Issued by the Police Department of Houston, Tex.)
1. Begin with infancy to give the child everything he wants.
In this wav he will grow up to believe the world owes him a
living.
2. When he picks up had words, laugh at him. This will make
him think he is cute. It will also encourage him to pick up "cuter”
phrases that will blow off the top of your head later.
3. Never give him anv spiritual training. Wait until he is
21 and then let him "decide for himself.”
4. Avoid use of the word "wTong.” It may develop a guilt
complex. This will condition him to believe later, when he is
arrested for stealing a car, that society is against him and he is
being persecuted.
5. Pick up everything he leaves lying around— books, shoes,
and clothes. Do everything for him so he will be experienced in
throwing all responsibilities on others.
6. Let him read any printed matter he can get his hands on.
Be careful that the silverware and drinking glasses are sterilized,
but let his mind feast on garbage.
7. Quarrel frequently in the presence of your children. In
this way they will not be too shocked when the home is broken
up later.
8. Give a child all the spending money he wants. Never let
him earn his own. Why should he have things as tough as you
had them?
9. Satisfy his every craving for food, drink and comfort. See
that every’ sensual desire is gratified. Denial may lead to harmful
frustration.
10. Take his part against neighbors, teachers, policemen. They
are all prejudiced against your child.
11. When he gets into real trouble, apologize for yourself
by saying, "I never could do anything for him.”
12. Prepare for a life of grief. You will be likely to have it.

Plane Wreckage
Identified; No
Bodies Found
ANCHORAGE UP — Wreckage
sighted by an Anchorage hunter
in the Alaska Range west of
Skwentna was identified late Mon
day as that of the twin-engined
plane which carried seven US.
Weather Bureau officials to their
deaths in 1960.
Two State Troopers, part of a
team of investigators who ex
amined the debris, said no human
remains were found.
Parts of the wreckage were scat
tered over a wide area of the nig
ged mountain valley.
The investigators were led to
the site of the wreckage by How
ard Fowler, a Northern Consoli
dated Airlines employe who sight
ed the torn craft Saturday while
on a hunting trip.
The party found one wing at the
1.200-foot altitude. The wing car
ried the plane’s identification num
ber. N122G.
Troopers said the main portion
of the plane was found 400 feet
down the mountain from the wing
section. Parts were scattered over
a 300-yard area.
Also found was a partly de
stroyed brief ease bearing the in
itials GFB. It was identified as
the property of George Brewster
of Washington, D.C. At the time
of his disappearance, Brewster was
chief pilot of the Weather Bureau.
The only other found for identi
fication purposes was a key chain,
with a holder having the initials
C. B. This reportedly belonged to
Charles Belcher, one of the five
Anchorage men lost on the flight.
Others aboard the plane, which
failed to report at Untilla after
making a radio check at Skwentna,
were W. B. Lindley, Harold C.
Carle. James W. (Bill) Grant and
Thomas O. McDonald, all of An
chorage, and Walter Brandstetter
Everett, Wn.
The plane was reported missing
on July 25, 1960, while on a flight
from Anchorage to Nome and Kot
zebue. The officials were to in
spect Weather Bureau facilities at
the two Bering Sea towns.

tem hauled 10,491 passengers and
1,979 vehicles during the first two

Matanuska and Taku, carried a
total of 56,543 passengers and 10,
145 vehicles from Feb. 1, when the
service on the system started,
through Aug. 15.

Egan Says Alaska Is
Being Shortchanged In
Its Military Defenses
SEATTLE (if) — Alaska Gov.
Wm. Egan took issue with the De
partment of Defense Tuesday and
said his state is being shortchanged
in its military defenses.
Egan, addressing the Veterans
of Foreign Wars Convention, said
he feels Alaska is relatively un
protected despite Defense Dept,
claims to the contrary.
“The Air Force has sent use a
few F-106's and the Navy has
familiarized a few units of its
fleet with Alaskan waters,” Egan
said.
The governor said the planes are
too few and added, “I have not
been advised that the Navy ships
are to be permanently assigned
to Alaska.”
The closing of some two dozen
Early-Warning Radar Stations has
further crippled Alaskan defenses.
Egan said he is “strongly” sup
porting the nuclear-test-ban treaty
but hoped the Senate will accom
pany its adoption with a strong
military buildup, particularly in
Alaska.
Personal Income Reaches
Record High in 1962
Personal income, the most com
prehensive measure of economic
activity on a geographic basis,
was at a record dollar volume for
Alaska in 1962. It totalled 656 mil
lion dollars, a 4 per cent increase
over 1961’s total of $628 million.
The year 1962 saw all states reach
ing record highs.
Alaska’s per capita income in
creased very little, moving from
$2,661 in 1961 to $2,667 in 1962.
The small per capita increase de
spite the substantial rise in total
personal income indicates a popu
lation growth approximately the
same rate as that for personal in
come. Total personal income for
the nation increased 6 per cent and
the capita level rose 4 per cent
from $2,267 to $2,366.
Nine states and the District of
Columbia had higher per capita
income tha did Alaska last year.
Their 1962 rankings, respectively,
were: Nevada, $3,278; District of
Columbia, $3,219; Delaware, $3,
102; Connecticut, $3,089; New
York, $2,930; California, $2,898;
New Jersey, $2,887; Illinois, $2,844;
Massachusetts, $2,769: and Mary
land, $2,683.
