A contribution also was voted to the March of Dimes, for which drive so far totals $790. Two new members, Mrs. Chester Zenger and Mrs. Joseph Akagi were initiated and welcomed into the organization. Mrs. John McCormick, president, appointed Mrs. J. C. Cahail as acting guard for the remainder of the year and Mrs. Henry Cropley, his- torian Members drew names of veterans in the hospital at Seward for re- membrance on Valentine's Day. Mrs. James Brunette reported on her attendance as Auxiliary repre- sentative at the annual meeting of the Cripple Children’s Association, and recommended that the Auxili- ary assume the responsibility of some of the needed sewing. A number of future events are occupying Auxiliary members. With their husbands, and post members and their wives, they will share a covered dish dinner February 17 in the Dugout. Committees named last night ter this affair are: food—Mrs. Dan Ma- honey; kitchen—Mrs. Natalie Gus- tafson and Mrs. James Brunette; dining room—Mrs. Emmett Botelho, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Rudoiph and Mrs. Rosemary Doogan; decorations —Mrs. Jack Cropley and Mrs. Henry Cropley; dinner entertainment — Mrs. E.

The action was taken at the meet- ing of the lodge held last night. SECOND THEFT FORCES COLLECTION OF CANS FOR MARCH OF DIMES A second sad commentary having to do with the human race and charity has forced those in charge of the “March of Dimes” campaign to collect all downtown containers. Committee women were making the roundup today, although it had been planned to leave the containers until March 1. The committee voted this action to avoid loss of any further sums. Containers disappeared early this week from the Bus Station Restaur- ant and the Baranof Cigar Stand. These losses are comparatively minor, however, in view of the largest collection to fight infantile paralysis since the war days. Ac- cording to Mrs. John McCormick, who headed the committee for the Alaska Crippled Children’s Asso- ciation and the VFW Auxiliary which sponsored the tag day, total receipts to date amount to $790. In Tokyo government workers threatened a general strike following refusal of the Jap- anese Prime Minister to grant wage increases. Askfor it cither way ... both Wrade-marks mean the same thing.

As the Garden Club already is building up a fund for landscaping the grounds for the Juneau Mem- orial Library, a memorial to local war heroes, members voted to pledge only $50 to the library fund They expressed the hope, however, to be able to increase this amount. Mrs. V. F. Williams reported a large and enthusiastic audience at the “June in January” show of color slides of gardens in and near Juneau last month in the Lutheran Church This event was the climax of the 1949 program committee’s work. | The club expresses its appreciation ! to the score of contributors who loaned the slides and made the show possible Mrs. W.
