The minimum needs of the Girl Scouts is $1,500 which will be used in a large part for the operation of the summer camp Or necessary re- pairs to the Scout camp site at Eagle river. Many repairs are needed such as erection of laurines, enlarging the water supply, improving the sewage system and general building repairs. Another heavy expense is the pur- chase of a large range as the one now at camp is not usaable. The girls need a stove sufficiently large to permit oven space for baking for 50 persons or more. All Scout workers are volunteers with the exception of the camp di-; * rector, her assistant and the cook. It is hoped that enough men, who can use a hammer, will volunteer to make the cemp repairs on Sun- days in’ May so that no labor ex- penses will be incurred for this needed work. Mrs. Josephine Boyd is chairman of the drive. Mrs. Boyd is being assisted by Scout leaders and mem- bers of the council, and other wo- men and men who are assisting actively in soliciting funds; the ra- dio station, KINY, over which Scout speakers will be heard each day next week at 12:15 o'clock; the Alaska Daily Empire which is pub- lishing daily reminders of the drive; the civic organizations and churches of the city whose speak- ers are announcing the dates and purposes of the campaign. — o HAZEL SAGER HERE Hazel Sager, representative of a Seattle firm, is in town and regist- ered at the Baranof. e HERE FROM HOONAH Patricia Kane has arrived in town from Hoonah and is a guest at the Baranof Hotel. creases granted Alaska Railroad em- year as Child Health Day. year ga O sh Dy ployees on record of September 30, And I invite our boys and girls |to use this occasion as a time to, gather with parents, teachers, and {other citizens, or by themselves, in schools, churches, and community centers, and to consider how we can make our home and community life contribute in full measure to the building of buoyant health and valiant spirit in all our boys and girls.

The land- ings of American infantrymen at Hollandia, in conjunction with those at Aitape should raise well de- served alarm in the minds of the Japanese.” Stimson described the action as a methodical one, carried out by com- bined forces under General Mac- Arthur, and bringing the Palau Islands within the range of land- based bombers.
