The Northern Belgium Province of the Society of Jesus has foreign mis- sions in the Belgian Congo and in India. Last August his superiors sent him to America for special studies.

WELFARE WON'T BE AFFECTED DESPITE RESERVATION VOTE Alleged threats and counter- threats made concerning welfare grants being denied natives who| voted against reservations, recently aired in the Interior, brought forth a statement of policy today from Henry A. Harman, director of the Territorial Department of Public Welfare. Harmon terms the charges “mis- statements,” although it was brought out by a Second Division representative that government em- nak Eskimos their welfare money voted against the proposal. It was later explained the federal govern- ment has nothing to do with wel- fare grants, although it occasion- ally helps out if requested when the Territory is caught short. Harmon's statement follows: “The Department of Public Wel- fare follows the requirement of the Federal Security Agency that assist- ance be given to all eligible, needy persons regardless of race or resi- dence location within the Territory. “Therefore, people receiving as- programs would not be affected by either the establishment or non- establishment of reservations. Whether people vote for or against reservations, will have no affect on their eligiblity, and their payments will continue to be determined only according to their need for aid.” FORESTER TO LEAVE T0 EXTEND LIBRARY DRIVE, CONFER IND.(. To appear before budget hearings and Congressional committees on the coming year’s forestry work, B. | Frank Heintzleman, ester, was scheduled to fly south today enroute to Washington, D.C. Prior to going east, Heintzleman will spend a week in Seattle and Portland in his drive to raise funds for the Juneau Memorial Library, of which he is chairman of the board. Less than $10,000 remains to he raised by popular subscription to erect the structure. More than $60,000 has been raised so far in the city’s share of the $140,000 cost. The Community Facilities Service, a federal agency, will furnish the other half of the needed funds and will construct the building. The drive will be carried on in his absence by B. D. Stewart, acting board chairman, and Dr. James Ryan, commissioner of education. They will spend the next week in contacting business houses in Ju- neau and the following week in a general drive, hoping to raise most of the required amount in that manner. Heintzleman will contact dealers in the Northwest who do business in Juneau, in hopes of obtaining contributions from them. The regional forester will also confer with Edward Cameron, rep- resenting the Sears Roebuck foun- dation which recently inaugurated a “floating library” program to take books to some 20 or more outlying communities by boat from Juneau and Ketchikan. Stewart and Ryan will work with representatives of the Rotary Club in pushing the drive forward here. Heintzleman will talk with the president of the proposed Ketchi- kan pulp mill, and will confer, while in Washington,, with other men interested in the pulp industry in Alaska. He will be gone some six weeks, he estimated. Juneau Post No. 4 of the American Legion cordially invites every man in Juneau toa Jiggs Dinner One hour entertainment after dinner 6:30 P. M.
