Juneau Children’s Home
A fire in the Chldren’s Home at
Juneau, Alaska, maintained by

no lives were lost.
The Home, which cares for
about 36 children, includes two
boys from Nome, Ralph and Wil

dorm and some of the older boys
who were at church at the time
of the fire lost everything they

month-long efforts to raise the

workers that more polio sufferers
than ever before are counting on
the March of Dimes for needed
financial aid.
