particularly well preserved and much
better in quality than the clothing Of
today, and the food and supplies left
in the Arctic cache by Commander
McClintock and his men also were
well preserved, despite the severe
weather known to prevail in the Arc

resented by six birds-all that were
left as the sole means Of perpetuating
the species, and they concentrated on
a single little island, where one man

 Chairman p. R. Bradley of the Douglas-Trcadwell Chapter Of the American Red Cross has sent out personal letters to many people on Che Island 10 is possible that some may have been overlooked on the mailing list and Che following is meant to be a personal communica- ton to them:
 TO the residents Of Douglas and
 Troadwcll
 The ith Red Gross Roll Call is now under way. There will be no in- sive campaign or drive for member ship on Douglas Island
 Instead am making a quiet ap- peal for your continued support Co thc Red Gross for Che following req. sons.
 The character of the work done by the Red Cross is such that no one can afford not to be connected with lL
 The splendid and gratuitous de- yotlon Of Red Cross workers at home and abroad during the war should receive your endorsement In Che form of a renewed membership.
 The Northwestern Divisional Headquarters has agreed that our chapter continue. and that it can administer a sum Of $500 for local charities This sum is now in our possession.
 Membership this year. therefore .is matter more of local pride than national pride. as our efforts instead of being nationwide wlll be devoted to our own community. Therefore. we should renew our membership to show that the faith in us Co admin ister our own affairs is justified.
 The Northwcstcrn Headquarters have placed a trust in our hands; our duty is to render Red Cross serv- ice ln our community and to prove we are worthy Of this trust, to do this our chapter must continue. and Co continue it must have members.
 The response Of our community on several recent occasions to appeals for financial assistance has been as remarkable as it has been gratify- ing. Let us continue to show that our community spirit surpases that of any section Of Alaska. We can do this by a prompt response Co this ape peal. Yours for Rcd Cross.
