— PAGE SIX Charter Members Are Honored by Soropfimists Founders Day at the Soroptimists | luncheon Frid: brought to the| meeting a nearly full membership | turnout and several former members | of the club. Guests were Nancy Cameron, Bernice Morgan and Lil- lian Uggen, former members, Nor- ma Weeks, Marjorie Morris, depart- ment of public welfare and Mildred Sparks, grand president, Alaska Na- isterhood ne charter members of the Ju- 1 Soroptimists, for their rn'ri 3 s of continuous service to lhe; club, were presented awards of meri-| Norma Johnson, Jessie Stevens,| Jessie McCrary, Edna Heaton Lo- men, Mildred Hermann, Mamie Jen- sen, Mernice Murphy, Laura Mac- Millan and Dorothy Whitney were recipients of merit scrolls presented by President Gertrude Wetzel. 1 Speaker of the day, Mrs. Helen Shenitz, assistant curator and lib- rarian at the Territorial Museum, was introduced by Ann DeLong, program chairman. A resident of Japan for sever- al y following World War II, Mrs. Shenitz topic before the club of women was “Women of Japan.” And women in Japan, the Sor- optimists learned are of “less value than cattle.” To treat women as equals, to invite them to be present at a banquet with men, is insulting to men, and “this attitude is thg same among all classes,” Mrs. Shen- itz explained. “To extend a courtesy to women is degrading to a man.” She doubted that Japanese women were as gentle, sweet or graceful as tradition has led the world to be- lieve. They are graceful in their native kimonas, but awkward in foreign garments and shoes. “Since they have had to use cunning and shrewdness to fight the Japanese male, they are shrewd, cunning and smart, rather than sweet and gentle,” she remarked. Since the occupation of Japan by the United States Army, “the Ameri- cans have given the Japanese wo-| men their freedom so subtly that it was accomplished before the men of the country realized it,” the speaker declared. “This freedom started by the organization of wo- men's clubs, asking Japanese women to attend meetings. Inside of a couple of years, the Japanese wo- men were forming clubs of their own.” 3 As an afterthought, Mrs. Shenitz mentioned the number of marriages between Japanese women and Am- ericans. “The men were not all GI's either, Officers, too, married Jap- anese women. And the reason, I was told by men who had married Jap- anese women is that “no women in the world treat a man as well as| do the women of Japan.” Participation in the drive of joint service clubs to collect clothing for Korea was announced. Warm, clean clothing will be collected to send to | Korea by Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis and Soroptimist Clubs. The drive will continue for the next week. (ify Health Center .

Reindeer Herd Starled On St. Paul Island A nucleus of a reindeer herd was successfully transported recently by boat to St. Paul Island in the Prib- ilofs from Nunivak Island, Dale Belcher, assistant director of the Alaska Native Service native re- sources division, said today. The reindeer numbering 31 were transferred from the government owned herd under the jurisdiction of the native service on Nunivak to the Fish and Wildlife Service for the purpose of giving the na- ties on St. Paul another source of food supply. | It was necessary to “hog-tie” each of the ‘animals in transporting them in smaller boats to the FWS vessel Penguin II, for shipment to St. Paul, Belcher said.

And Mrs. Henry Green had the answer in her infor-| mative talk on the care and storage of dahlia tubers and glad corms| given at the club meeting, Wednes- day, October 10. Mrs. Green also| told a -little about planting and what fertilizers to use and insect | pests and what to do for them. A bit of information Mrs. Green | received from the Orin Hale's, of | Seattle, publishers of Northwest | Gardens, who recently visited Ju- eau, may prove a big help to all who own rhododendrons. The said that when the ground is frozen in early spring and the sun comes out and pulls the moisture out of the rhododendron leaves, leaving the plant no way to replenish this moisture, go out and water the leaves of the plant! So don’t think Garden Club members crazy next March if you see them out watering the rhododendron leaves! Grass Planting The library committee brought up the question of planting the grounds with grass this late in the year and the club decided it would be money thrown away as the grass would not have a chance to become established before winter set in. This brought up the problem of keeping ihe traffic on the sidewalks and not all over the lot, so that when a lawn is planted it will have a chance to grow. It was also point- ed out that traffic over the bare ground should be discouraged as it would pack the soil and make it more difficult to work. Several sug- gestions were offered and work will proceed along those lines. The club wants to put in a lawn| and landscape the grounds so that all may be proud of this community project. But it will take the co-oper- ation of all the town to make it a success, it is said. To Remove Annuals Mrs. William Hixson’s Girl Scout Troop No. 12 offered to help remove the annuals from the Triangle Plot on 12th Street and their offer was gratefully accepted. Six beautiful dish garden arrange- ments were shown featuring mosses, rocks, driftwood, native and figur- ines. Mrs. Ray Renshaw, Mrs. Will- iam Hixson and Mrs. William Paul, Sr., were the artists. Before the meeting, held in the home of Mrs. E. E. Engstrom, a dessert luncheon was served with co- hostesses Mrs. Earle Hunter and Mrs. Wm. Paul assisting.

GLASS IS SLATED TO REPLACE MANY METALS TOLEDO, Ohio — (# — Glass may be used to replace many metals which are being restricted for the current mobilization program, says Dr. George B. Watkins, director of research for Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Co, In World War II, glass was used successfully as a substitute for aluminum. For example, the Fed- eral Communications Commission used it as backing for records for its recordings file. Glass evaporator plates in air conditioning equip- ment replaced steel plates. One kind of glass today eliminates the need for almost all metal framing and cross-pieces on store doors.
