MEMBERSHIP OF CHAPTER

When reports from Nenana, Tan, ana and other towns in the Panama valley begin to come in, 1t is eX pected that the membership roll of the local chapter of Red Cross will number approximately 1000 For the report made last night by the mem bers of the Womens Loyal League of the Panama Valley who are in charge of the work, is that the mem bers subscribing their dollar in Fair banks now total 522 And it is con sidered that Fairbanks has not been more than hall solicited as yet, con sequently with the memberships re maining to be solicited here, and those that are expected to come in from Panama, Nenana, Cinema, Brooks and the various creeks in the vicini- ty of Fairbanks, it is expected, will bring the aggregate up to nearly, if not quite, 1000 members.
 The women of the Loyal League first started out with the idea that they would be doing well to get 800 members throughout the valley. So prompt has been the response to the appeal for members, however, that results have far exceeded their fondest hopes, and it is now thought certain that, at the very least esti- mate, the chapter will be able to send in the names of 800 members when the Red Cross dollar drive ends on June 25 Should it reach thousand, as is contemplated by some, the Panama valley will have contributed a one-thousandth part of all of the supposed entire member ship of the Red Cross when the drive
