TUNDRA
By AUDREY HENDERSON
Walking down Front Street
brought to my mind that all peo
ple are bores, including myself.
Very clever people know this to
be true, so they have learned the
neat trick of hiding out when
theiT clever sidle isn’t on the
beam. For each second that Bob
Hope or Ja,k Benny or any other
dozen of “would be simarties”
pour out epigrams, there must
be many hours of small talk.
Well, what do people usually talk
about? The weather, what to eat,
what to wear, the need to change
underwear, movies, mislaid rub
bers. Only a fool tries to be
smart when propositioning a
taxtetriver, or a waitress, stand
ing in line at a railroad ticket
office, talking a hotel clerk out
of a room when the establish
ment is packed, paying his bank
er's service charges signing for
a special delivery letter, outlin
ing his possessions to the asses
sor, or putting in a winter’s sup
ply of oil ... A person who is
described as clever is limited to
about 10 minutes of bright
thought a week, 10 minutes a day
is considered a genius. And why
is it that public servants in or
der to serve the public in the
custom they wish—just have to
bully.

Explained
Juvenile Code
A juvenile code, passed by the
, 1043 session of the Alaskan Ter
ritorial Legislature, modernized
Alaskan law in this field. Apply
ing to all ehjldren under 18 years
of age, the purpose of this act
is to secure for each child care
and guidance as nearly as possi- >
I ble, equivalent to that which
should be given by his or her
parents.
1 Its primary purpose is not to
punish children pho have violat
! ed laws, but to safeguard them
from neglect or injury. Al
though it does give the justice
court jurisdiction of any child
; who has violated a law; or by
reason of being wayward or ha
bitually disobedient is uncontrol
led by his parent, guardian or
custodian; or is habitually truant
from school or hme; r habitually
deports himself so as to injure or
endanger the morals and heaolth
| of himself or others; it does not
seek to punish such a child by
imprisonment. Instead, the child
is to be placed in a new environ
ment calculated to change him or
her into a desirable citizen.
The court is given jurisdiction
not only of those children who
bp their own acts have failed to
carry out their legal obligations
to themselves and others, but
also of those children who have
: been abandoned by their parents
or guardians or who lack proper
parental care due to the faults, |
habits or neglect of their parents
or guardians.
The court is also given juris- j
diction of those children who are
mentally deficient or in need of j
special care or training, provided :
their parents or guardians are I
willing to give their consent in
writing.
All controversies arising over
the custody of a child are to be
taken care of by the court.
Although the court may if a
child has committed a felony,
waive the jurisdiction given it
by this act, but it is only to do
so after a full investigation has
shown the remedies provided by
! this act would be insufficient.

The remedies set forth by the
act are to commit the child to
the Territorial Department of
Dub lie Welfare or the Alaska In
1 dian Service; or to release the
child to the care and custody of
the parent, guardian, or other
suitable person, under the super- ”
vision of one of these agendes.
In other words:, children are
not to be imprisoned for the
faults of themselves; or others
