Bobby Bahnke Rescues
Wally Thomas From
Snake River
Wednesday night Bobby
Bahnke rescued little seven-year
old Wally Thomas when he fell
off the revetment on the east
side pf Snake River.
Like many children, Wally was
playing near the river while his
mother was at work at the North
Star Grill. He was walking along
the edge of the revertment, lost
his balance and fell into the
river. Bahnke jumped in after
him before he went under.
Small children are not sup
posed to play in this area and
have been cautioned time and
again by the authorities to stay
away from the edge of the river.
However, city patrolmen report
that it is a daily occurrence for
children to play there.

Winfield Ervin Director
Of Board of Juvenile
Institutions Visits Nome
Winfield Ervin Jr., director of
the Board of Juvenile Instiutions
of Alaska, visited in Nome yes
terday with local law enforce
ment officials and Mrs. Dorothy
Grant, who is the local repre
sentative of the Board.
Mr. Ervin said that the prob
lem of housing delinquents is
very acute since stateside insti
tutions will no longer accept Al
askan children.
He stated that he has proposed
that the Board take over build
ings of the Seward Sanitorium,
which were vacated in July,
and create an Alaskan detention
home with the hope that the
new state legislature would real
ize the need and appropriate en
ough money . to operate it with
qualified personnel.
Mr. Ervin, who has been in
business in Seward before his
appointment to the Juvenile
Board, has turned the business
over to his two sons and is mov
ing to Juneau to devote his time
to his new work.
■ Mr. Ervin urged persons who
had ejftra rooms in their homes
to assist the program by offer
ing them as foster homes. He
said a definite need exists here.
Anyone interested may contact
Mrs. Dorothy Grant.

Mr. and Mrs. Del Kampman
were the recipients of a “rain
