PAGE SIX FOSTER HOMES FOR CHILDREN NOW BIG NEED, SAYS HARMON Welfare Director, Mayor Hendrickson, Eric New- bould Talk, AL Meet “One of the greatest needs, and that most difficult to fill, which the Department of Public Welfare copes with every day is that ot finding foster homes for children,” declared Henry Harmon, Welfare Director, in a speech at the meet- ing of the American Legion last night. It was in the Legion’s observance of child welfare week that the en- tire meeting of the Legion Post and the Auxiliary was turned over to Past Department Commander Waino Hendrickson. Harmon, Hen drickson and Post Chaplain Eric Newbould all spoke eloquently on welfare problems. The welfare director, in one of his first public appearances in his official capacity, outlined the work and problems of his department, saying that not only is there a great and continuing need for desirable foster homes, but also that some immediate provision should be made for a sort of “receiving home.” He stated that in cases where any children, not necessarily delin- quents, are referred to the depart- ment for aid, it is usually necessary to spend several days or a week or more in determining just what can be done and what is best for the child. There is no place, he frankly admitted, at the present in Juneau where the children can be placed temporarily while their cases are being studied. He somewhat startled his audience by remarking that he was “thankful that Jumeau has 2 good clean jail!” Legion members and Auxiliaries were very much interested in Har- mon’s talk, and asked questions and made several suggestions that may eventually bring about greater pub- lic interest and real help for the welfare department. In opening the evgning’s program, Past Commander Hendrickson re- viewed some of the past record of the Legion in its child welfare in- terests. He pointed out that since Jjust about half of all the children in the U.S. today are those of vet- erans, what happens to influence the lives of every second child is ot immediate concern to the Legion and its members. During the past 25 years more than seventeen mil- lion dollars has been expended on direct aid to children by the Ameri- can Legion, the Auxiliary and the Forty-and-Eight. These organiza- tions know, he stated, that “Ameri- can kids come nearest of any in the world to getting a square deal from their elders . they want to keep it that way and improve upon it.” Post Chaplain Eric Newbould, in his payt of the program, delivered a very dynamic talk on child weltare and its origin in the home circle. He stressed the need for greater ap- preciation of the part that religlon plays in making the home what it should be. In analyzing the factors which keep a child from eventually becoming a delinquent, he stated that they were principally the home, the school, the church, and the community, adding that almost without exception those juveniles who would up in trouble with the law wre found to have both home and the church falling short in their influence. The meeting was well-attended by both members of the Legion and the Auxiliary. Mrs. Alfred Zenger, Sr., Mrs. Ned Zenger and Mrs. Edna Polley of the Auxiliary arranged for refreshments following the business session.

When it came to cutting out a !Coast Guard Station, he said, the one cut out was the only one Al- aska had. “The Representatives and Sen- ators of all the states having Coast Guard Stations descended on the Commandant of the Coast Guard,” he said—and added that Alaska lost its station mittee, already passed by the House, has a lot of room for improvement. “But we'd rather take it as it is and then solve its defects,” he told the committee, quoting the old saw about a “bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” Two Masters “The basic thing we want is self- rule,” he said. masters—the Federal Bureaus and the Congressional Committees.” Zachery Loussac, Mayor of An- chorage and former Alaskan bus- inessman, testified that the war brought a new era to Alaska. He estimated the Territory's pres- ent population at 127,000 up from 92,000 in 1940. Senator Anderson (D-NM) act- ing committee chairman in the ab- sence of Chairman O’'Mahoney (D- Wya.), questioned the 92,000. He sald census bureau figures show that Alaska’s 1940 population was about 72,000. Loussac said he was aware of that, but that he felt 92,000 was a truer figure. “We are entitled to statehood.” Loussac said, “and we shouldn't have to beg for it.” the Alaskan opponents to statehood are not permanent residents. for and two against statehcod. “The ones who voted against it won't stay in Alaska,” she said.
