H. Wil- liams. One group of assistants is soliciting the members of civic, fraternal and other organizations; another is working with the local public officials and employees, and still another is calling on business houses and private individuals. Mrs. Williams said today that these volunteer workers wish to| 3 bring their work to a close by the | end of this week and asks for the cooperation of the public to make | this possible “We would be very grateful ifi those who wish to buy tickets | would seek out one of our solici- | tors, or apply at the news stand | of the Baranof Hotel rather than | wait to be asked.” she said. A de-| tailed canvass of offices, stores and private homes is an arduous task in a community the size of | Juneau, Douglas and surrounding! settlements, especially under pres- s soldiers on that Solomon island.

Solicitors are impr by the great number of ticket purchasers who comment on the tragedy of a child being sud- denly struck by one of the crip- pling diseases, and how cheerful is the thought that modern sur- gery can restore many of these blighted children to a normal boy- hood and girlhood Takes Money “However, as every one Knows, it takes lots of money. Our local cases generally have to be sent to the Orthopedic Hospital in Se- attle and the treatment requires many weeks or even months. All1 of the money we raise is to bqi used solely and directly for thf-‘ hospitalization and special care of | local crippled children. This is a itrictly local campaign for a wor- thy cause. The local people are supporting it liberally as they al- | ways do when they find a neighbor | in need of help.” | TWENTY-SIX INFROMSSITKA, FIFTEEN SOUTH Arrivals in Juneau late last night| from Sitka were Miss Iris M.

At first supposed to be a site of come hitherto unknown prehistoric | city, gradually emerging from the | cover of the later lakebed, the phe- | nomenon was brought to the at-| ention of scientists by a Malheur | County cattleman, Bill Hanley. | Universi of Oregon geologist Dr. Warren D. Smith investigated and has included the results of his find- ings in a recently published book,| ‘“Scenic Treasure House of Oregon,”| which explains that the walls are freaks of nature. First, giant cracks appeared in the early lakebed and into these cracks drifted, over many, ve sand and volcanic ash which in time formed into a very fine grade of natural cement. Later wind erosion eventually re- moved the softer lakebed material, to leave the crazy patchwork pat- tern of “walls,” now as high as two| feet in some places. | ENROLLMENT AT SHOW DECREASE semester in the Juneau Public| Schools show a considerable drop! in enrollment over last year's fall term, A.
