REPORTS GIVEN AT
ANNUAL ACCA MEET
Five trustees with three-year

cil chambers.
Those elected were Dr. H. C.
Harris, Capt. M. A. Johnson, Vera
Knickerbocker, Sid Voiles and Mrs.
Walter Soboleff. They replace five
trustees whose terms of office had
ended with the meeting.
Annual reports of the local chap
ter and of the territorial head
quarters were discussed by Mrs.
Betty McCormick, president of the
local ACCA chapter. Dr. Virginia
Cobb of the Alaska Department of
Health, crippled children's division,
told of the work done by her agen
cy.
The financial report of the ACCA
Juneau-Douglas chapter revealed
that the organization had $814.23
at the close 01 business March 25,
1950 as against $664.10, April 1, 1951.
During the past year, monies gain
ed came from donations, $447.40,
projects, $645.30, reimbursement of
teacher’s salary, $55, Easter Seals,
$88.53. Disbursements showed that
monies went to project expenses,
$162.93, chapter expenses, $33.98,
chapter charities, $364.29, remit
tance to the territorial ACCA was
$1,822.26.
Projects ot tne local cnapter are
the sale of greeting cards, Alaska
dictionaries, potholders, cups and
saucers, and the Alaska cook books.
Chapter charities are the children's
chronic disease ward in St. Ann’s
Hospital, Christmas and birthday
gifts to children in the ward and
transportation of two children to
hospitals for treatment.
“The biggest year for the local
chapter in memberships was the
one just ended," said Mrs. McCor
mick. "Seventy-five percent of the
funds gathered by the local chap
ter go to the territorial headquar
ters in Anchorage while 25 percent
of the funds remain with the local
chapter."
Dr. Cobb revealed that the great
est number of patients taken care
of by the ACCA go to the Mt.
Edgecumbe Orthopedic Hospital. A
lew cases of bone tuberculosis go
to the University of Chicago hos

Children with cleft pallets and lips
are sent to a hospital in Seattle
for surgery while some heart dis
ease patients are sent to the Un
iversity of California Hospital, San
Francisco. Eye, ear and nose pa
tients are sent to Anchorage.
“Transportation is the greatest
difficulty in sending patients to
hospitals, in Alaska," said Dr. Cobb.
Extracts from the annual report
of Mrs. Marshall Hoppin, president
of the territorial Alaska Crippled
Children's Association, were read
by Mrs. McCormick.
“Of all the chapters, Sitka and
Juneau are the only ones who have
both the responsibility and the pri
vilege of working with our crippled
boys and girls. The Sitka Chapter
gives its time to Mt. Edgecumbe
while Juneau devotes theirs to the
Chronic Disease Ward at St. Ann's
Hospital,” it was revealed In the
report.
In answering how the ACCA
funds are expended, the report
-fates that the funds arc to match
federal funds wtych can be obtain
ed only by the territory putting up
a similar sum; to purchase cloth
ing, orthopedic shoes and toys for
the children in the Mt. Edgecumbe
Hospital; to give a yearly clothing
fund to the Seattle Orthopedic
Haspital for the Alaskan children
there.
The expenditure of ACCA funds
also are used to pay for the ser
vices of a full-time worker at Mt.
Edgecumbe who assists with the
"duration and entertainment of the
hildren; to pay for care and cloth
ing of children enroute from home
to the hospital and return and in
