This is the only solicitation to be made for a year, except for silent invitation of ACCA contain- ers in public places. In the year just past, the Ju- neau-Douglas Chapter received $1,- 264.85 thrcugh membership dues and contributions. Of this amount, $500 was kept in Juneau to defray costs of various needs of the \A(' Edgecumbe Orthopedic Hospita the rest was sent to the ACCA Ter- ritorial headquarters in Anchorage for the general fund.
