Whenever the government, OF the red Cross
or d. other charitable institution have called
upon he Ketchkan residents and those OF the
precinct for help, cur citizens have always
responded most generously. AS whole, they
have led any town in Alaska. Ehan this pre-
sent Red Cross drive was starJd. We predicted
that Ketchilzan would lead again: and by ink,
it looks that way today. The reasons Tor this
generosity are thai their hears are big, their
minds broad and are extremely sympathetic
Add to these qualities our army of tireless yvo-
men workers. whose devotion for the needy IS
cquaed only by their patriotism ard unsurp-
assed by any set Of women in the world; We
need not wonder that Ketcht&an has always
led. And as sure as fate, orr town wiD lead
