MUCH DONE BY
ACCA DURING !
PAST 5 YEARS
Turning the tables on traditional i
birthday procedure, the Alaska
Crippled Children’s Association ob
served its fifth anniversary by being
the gift giver instead of receiver this
year. This energetic volunteer or-1
ganization which begins its sixth
year this month sent a gift of $5,000 I
for the hospitalization program of
Alaska's crippled children.
Contributed through the Alaska
Department of Health, the sum is
eligible for doubling in federal
matching funds for the program.
"Needless to say, this contribu
tion is very much appreciated by
the Health Department and will be
of great help toward our hospitali
zation program for crippled child
ren,” Dr. C. Earl Albrecht, commis
sioner of health, stated to Mrs.
Marshall Hoppin, president of the
ACCA, in acknowledging the $5,000
gift. Appreciation of the gift, he
said, extends "to all the ACCA
chapters who made this fine con
tribution possible.”
The check brought to $73,225 the
money which the ACCA, through
work of its membership, has contri
buted in the past five years for
matching in federal funds for the
crippled children’s program in the
territory.
A vast amount of help at the
Orthopedic Center at Mt. Edge
cumbe hospital has also been con
tributed by the ACCA, according
to an article by Dr. Philip Moore,
orthopedic surgeon, in a recent issue
of "Alaska’s Health."
Sitka ACCA chapter members
have given continuous and innum
erable personal services to the Or
thopedic Center patients at Mt.
Edgecumbe, Dr. Moore said, among
which are birthday cakes for each
child and holiday parties.
Members of the Juneau ACCA
chapter, in addition to aiding the
Orthopedic Center, have devoted
time and much personal attention
to the small patients in the Chronic
Disease Unit at St. Ann’s hospital.
Among their many gifts and serv
ices which help pass the hours con
structively for the children are oc
cupational therapy materials such
as leatherwork equipment, small
looms and an educational course for
the bedridden, according to Dr. Vir
ginia Cobb, health department pedi
atric consultant, who is director of
the Chronic Disease Unit.
She pointed out that these pur
suits keep the children mentally
alert and interested which plays a
vital part in the success of their
hospital treatment. Most of the
Chronic Disease Unit patients are
'suffering from rheumatic fever or
other heart conditions.
Shopping aid and the furnishing
of clothes for children who have
outgrown items in their wardrobes
by the time they are ready to leave
the hospital are also among their
much appreciated services, Dr.
Cobb said. Mrs. Betty McCormick
is president of the Juneau ACCA
chapter.
Dr. Moore cited some specific
examples of help of the ACCA at
the Orthopedic Center as: aid in
purchase of expensive equipment
for a brace shop so that the child
ren under treatment could ha"c
their braces made exactly for their
needs right at the hospital; placed
a full-time ACCA representative nl
the center to assist the specialized
professional staff in meeting the
personal needs of the small patients;
furnished much of the equipment
and interior decoration for the
center’s attractive schoolroom; ar
ranged for film showings, play
ground equipment and other recre
ational facilities; provided much
physical therapy equipment and
established an orthopedic fund for
small purchases.
“It is impossible to tell fully how
important the work is and how the
ACCA members have contribiltec
to the success of the orthopedic
program in Alaska,” Dr. Moore
stated.
MacARTHUR
BLUNDERER,
SAYS BIGART
NEW YORK, Jan. 15—UP)—War
Correspondent Homer Bigart, writ
ing in this week’s Look magazine,
expressed the opinion that Genera
Douglas MacArthur was responsible
for "unsound deployment of the
United Nations forces and a mo
mentous blunder” in Korea.
Bigart said this nation no longer
can afford to “string along” with
MacArthur.
Bigart, a New York Herald Trib- j
une writer, returned to the United ;
States last week after working in
Korea and Tokyo since last July 1.
He wrote in the Look article that
MacArthur must be criticized upon
one decision, which “helped insure
the success of the enemy’s strategy.”
That decision, the article said,
was the order launching the last
ill-fated U.N. offensive. Bigari
wrote:
“It is a great tragedy that a man
who served his country so nobly
should be hounded and disparaged
in the final hours of his career.
“But that is one of the occupa
tional hazards of being a General.”
Bigart, now 43, won a Pulitzer
Prize in 1946 for international re
porting. He was a war correspon
dent in World War II, in both Eur
ope and the Pacific.
MANY NEW BOOKS ARE
IN JUNEAU LIBRARY
_
The volume of books taken out
of the Juneau Cit.v Library is up
145 over last year, MrS. Edna Lomen.
librarian reported today. New books
are coming in from time to time.
Among the popular ones are “The
Grand Sophy" by Georgette Heyer.
“Fox Fire” by Anya Seton, “The
Decline and Fall of Practically
Everything” by Will Cuppy, and
“The Disenchanted" by Budd Schul
berg.
The play “The Lady’s Not for
Burning” by Christopher goes out
as fast as it is returned, Mrs. Lo
men said. "Kon Tiki” by Thor Hey
erdahl continues to be in great de
mand. A new book about Guatemala
"The Dry Season” by Dan Wicken
den is being well received by local
readers.
The Thursday morning story hour

CANNERY WORKERS
PAY, FISH PRICES
UP, HAINES PLANT
Contracts allowing an increase
in hourly wages and seasonal guar
antees for cannery workers and in
the price per fish for dog salmon
in this year's commercial fishing
season have been signed by the
Haines Packing Company for its
plant operations at Haines, accord
ing to Kenneth Bowman, Alaska
Organizer for the American Fed
eration of Labor, Bowman returned
to Juneau yesterday by Pan Ameri
can World Airways plane from
Seattle where he negotiated the
contract with the salmon canning
company for the fishermen and
cannery workers in the Haines
district.
Bowman said the contract also
provides for time and half over the;
40 hour week and for time and a i
half for overtime for the pre-sea- <
son work at the cannery site. !
The new contract for this coming
season carries an 18 cent raise in
hourly rates and a 12 and one
half percent increase in seasonal
guarantees for cannery workers.
Wages will graduate upward from
11.58 per hour. Workers get free
daily transportation to and from
the cannery, a distance of seven
miles from Haines, or a choice
of company housing.
The increase in season guaran
tees to cannery workers now brings
the percentage on a standard with
provisions of the contract with the
Alaska Marine District Union and
the Alaska Salmon Industry, Bow
man said.
The 23 cents increase per fish
for dog salmon will bring the price
to be paid for dog salmon this
season to 55 cents per fish. A price
of 32 cents per fish was paid last
year.
The Haines Packing Company
paid 90 cents minimum, for inde
pendent gear, per fish for red
salmon last season and this price
remains unchanged for the 1951
season, Bowman said.
Bowman said the contract with
the Haines Packing Company for
the 1951 season carries a provision
that the company will meet the
same prices that may be negotiated
later in the season for red salmon
and dog salmon, if they are high
er than those agreed to in the new
contract now in effect.
Bowman said the company has
also given exclusive recognition to
the AFL Union as a bargaining
agent for both the cannery work
ers and the fishermen that are
associated with its plant at Haines.
Commenting on the recently ne
gotiated contracts Bowman said
today, “These two contracts are
additional evidence the AFL is de
voting its primary efforts to better
the economic and working stand
ards of workers with a minimum Of
friction with employers, and a
total lack of political-isms.
