HELP THE GIRL SCOUTS Beginning today and continuing through the week, Juneau Girl Scouts and their friends will be calling on you to ask your help in raising a fund of 31500 which they believe will enable them to put their sum- mer camp in shape and carry on. other worthwhile activities during the next year. “ If there wére more organizations such as this, the problem of juvenile delinquency would be small. . For this reason, alone, your contribution can be called a wise investment. This is purely a Juneau project. All of the money will be kept and used in the community. The large part of the money, of course, will be put directly into the camp which must be kept up, maintaihed and improved if it is to serve its purpose ~that of providing healthy recreational facilities for the: 150 Girl Scouts in the Juneau and Douglas area. And the money will go a long way. Practically all of the activities are carried on through the co- operation of various Gastineau Channel groups which dlopate their time and services toward aiding in the Girl Scout program. However, the camp must have a director and a cook if it is to function properly, and | th’gse must be paid. In addition, many things are needed for the camp—a cooking stove, and other things which must be purchased. We believe that the people of Juneau and Douglas will come through with more than the modest $1500 ' asked—and the money will be used to good advantage. report of the movements of population in this country between 1940 and 1942 is not yet clear, due to the fact that the survey has been tabulated not by economic or industrial areas, but by States. The fact, however, that the resident population of the District of Co- lumbia, which, of course, is identical with the City of Washington, increased by more than 180,000 in two years gives some indication of the general trend. The State of Maryland shows a gain of 170,176 in the same period, and it may be taken for granted that this increase reflects principally the growth of the City of Baltimore. Similarly, the increase of 431,373 for Virginia may be taken to represent mainly the growth of places like Norfolk and Newport News and perhaps even more the overflow from the District itself. Of the six New England States, three, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, show diminished populations, while Massachusetts exhibits a modest gain of 28,130, Connecticut an impressive gain of 70,061, and Rhode Island a gain of 26,970. Of the three Middle Atlantic States only New Jersey shows an increase, but it is an increase of nearly 68,000 less than the single city of Washington, D. C. New York State lost more than a half million between 1940 and 1942 and Pennsylvania a loss of about 184,000. Among the Southern States, besides Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida show surprising gains, North Carolina and West Vir- ginia losses. In the Midwest, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan have gained, Wisconsin has lost. Among the west North Central States only Missouri has gained, while Minnesota, Iowa, the Dakotas, Kansas and Nepraska have lost. In the east South Central region Kentucky has lost, while Tennessee, Alabama and Mississipi have gained. Of the Mountain States, Montana, Idahe, Colorado and New Mexico have lost, while Arizona, Utah and Nevada have gained con- siderably and Wyoming slightly. All the Pacific States have gained, California tremendously, Washington | considerably, Oregon only a little. Among the west South Central States, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas all have gained; Oklahoma has lost The picture is somewhat complicated by the fact that the great segment of the male population which was drained into the armed services in this two- | year period was apparently not included in the esti- mates, which seem to have been computed from ration book registrations and corrected by vital statistics. Presumably, however, the ratio of enlistments and inductions would be fairly constant throughout the | country. But, in view of this, the gains in some of the Southern and Far Western States seem the | more startling. All in all, the reports tend to confirm what has | long been obvious: a wholesale movement of indi- | viduals and families toward the big centers of gov-| ernmental administration and of war industry. The | movement also appears to be centrifugal, in the main, that is to say, away from the center of the country ! toward the coast. As will be noted, all the Pacific | | States, all the Gulf States and all the Atlantic States | show gains. The movement is also an accelaration urban and industrial centers to grow at the expense of the rural districts and the villages and hamlets, instead of by immigration, as was once the case. By the end of the war some of these migrants will have returned to their original homes, but many of them except New Hampshire, New York and North Carolina | of the tendency, evident for some generations, of our | e ] MAY 1 Robert J.

L. Martin and Lt. Harvey, in the plane Seattle, hopped from Chignik for Dutch Harbor the previous day and up to an early hour this morning nothing had been heard by any wireless station from them. The Algonquin and other smaller boats were searching for the fliers in the area between Chignik and the Shumagin Islands, where the men; were believed to be down. Formally launching the annual Cleanup and Paintup Campaign which was to extend this year for a period of 30 days, Mayor I. Goldstein issued a proclamation calling on all local residents to combine in an effort to make Juneau a “more beautiful and cleaner city.” The anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale, May 12, was to be observed throughout the country, including Alaska, as National Hospital Day. Its primary purposc it was announced was to make the general public more familiar with hospitals and the splendid service that they are constantly rendering. . The United States Public School was to close May 2, on which day the children were to present a program at the school house. Miss Jor- genson's primary pupils as well as the pupils of Mrs. Bernhofer’s room were to take part. Severing a connection of many years duration, H. I. Lucas resigned as Assistant Cashier of B. M. Behrends Bank to assume active manage- ment. of the Juneau Motors Company in which he and William Neider- hauser were associated. Miss Legia Kashevaroff, attending school in Chicago, was to return her home in Juneau the following month.
