All of these signers voluntarily went with the pledges | and the amounts received are very satisfactory. One of the most pleas- ant contributions was a list present- ed by the Douglas group of the Al- aska Native Brotherhood, with 24 signers, each pledging what they could afford. This group must be commended on their generosity and thoughtfillness. The Douglas Na- tive School also took up a collection from the students and made a pres- entation. There are approximately 15 families who have not yet signed and it is hoped by Chairman Val Poor that these will drop in with their contributions this evening or to- morrow as Saturday, November 11, is the last day of the drive, or if they have contributed in the Juneau area to leave their names and amounts given, so that the Douglas list may be complete and turned in to the Alaska Chairman of the drive. The total amount wllected‘ will be published on Monday. ——————— Mrs. Booth Honored At Lun_cpfon Party A luncheon, in honor of Mrs. ‘Willis Booth, who has just returned from the south, was given yester- day by Mrs. Birdie Blomgren in the Baranof Hotel.
