PAGE SIX - SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1942 RED CROSS WORK ONDISPLAY: MORE WORKERS NEEDED Thirty girls dresses and twenty- two sweaters, the output of a group of Douglas Red Cross workers under the chairmanship of Mrs. Felix Gray, are on disp in the window of Thomas Hard e Company to-. day This is the work of the Douglas group for the month of July, All of the garments are to be kept in Alaska by the Red Cross to be used in case of any emergency in the Territory. Announcing a desperate need for women workers in Juneau, Mrs. J C. Thomas, production chairman of | the Juneau Chapter, ARC, asked to- day for every woman who had an hour to spare a week to donate her services. In Juneau the Red Cross work- room is at the Elks Club and is| open Monday, under the direction of Mrs. George F. Alexander; Tues- | day under Mrs. Tom Petrich and Mrs. R. H. Williams and on Thurs- day under Mrs. William Byington. Hours are between 10 a. m. and 4:30 p. m. But women who are free for any part of the working hours on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday are urged to donate their time, Mrs Thomas said, whether it is an hour or two or a full day. All kinds of work is to be done, sewing, basting, pressing, sewing on buttons and lapels. Experience is not necessary. Work can be called for at the Red Cross room and taken home, if that is more conven- ient. “We wish more groups would be formed like that in Douglas,” Mrs. Thomas said. “Neighborhood groups, large or small, could accomplish muck for us, and the Red Cross needs help desperately.” The Douglas women who finished the work on display in the Thomas Hardware window on Front Street, are: Sewers: Mesdames Ray Nevin, Arne Shudshift, Charles Tuckett Norman Rustad, Henry Schlegel, Carl Carlson, Don Neal, Ed Bach, J. B. Carlyle, A. E. Goetz, Herman Savikko, Glen Rice, Felix Gray, chairman and Miss Eleanor War ren. Knitters are the Mesdames John| Mills, Alex Gair, Felix Gray, Jack Sey, James Sey, Isabel Cashen and Joe Reidi. Mrs. Mills completed a sweater each week during the month. Returns are good from other districts in the Juneau chapter, and a report will be made when the next shipment is received, Mrs Thomas said. “In the meantime, I want to A convoy of merchant sl Axis submarines. urge more Juneau women to turn out to help us. We need help badly,” Mrs. Thomas said. .- KETCHIKAN, SITKA TRIPS ON ACA TODAY A Ketchikan trip by Alaska Coastal Airlines this morning took to the First City Dr. W. E. Peterson, W. F.

The study, based on percentages | grain, children average a diet of 62 per cent while in Virginia, the average is 65 percent. Significant is the fact that on the whole, the parents of the Fair- banks children are financially able to provide the children an adequate | diet. Result of the findings has been a series of lectures given through the Extension Service to teach Fair- ' banks residents how they can use | canned foods to fill out the neces- sarily " limited fresh food diet and outlined the values of proper nu- | trition. i | | | s moves through the Caribbean Sea, formerly a happy ‘unting ground for ibbean waters, were escorted safely into port by U.

Ordinarily, said Curator Roger Con- | ant, a snake swallows an egg and ! then breaks the shell. China eggs don't break. Conant said he'd squeeze the decoy back up the way it went down.
