WrangeD Women to Have Central
 Committee

There was a good representation of the women of Wrangell at the meeting called for the Starland The atre on Friday afternoon and the di- rect result of this feature on the Americanization program was the creation of Central Committee, similar to the organization that ex- ists in most Alaskan towns today, for the purpose of giving a pivotal, centralized basis of operations for all women's activities.
 This committee will be patterned after the Federation through the United States and Alaska, with the exception that it will cover an even wider field, for the reason that it em- braces all units of women. The diff ferent organizations of women in Wrangell will have two delegates on the Central Committee and there will also be two delegates at large, for women not associated with any unit. The units that will have repre- sentation will include the Parent cherAssociation. the Legion Aux Hilary. the Red Cross Chapter, Civic Club, W.C.T.U., Presbyterian Ladies Aid. St. Philips Guild. and the Altar Society.
 Friday afternoons meeting was presided over by Mesdames Palmer, Johnson and Campbell. the respec- tive heads of the Civic Club, P.-T.A. and Legion Auxiliary. Captain Dan- cey gave a brief talk in which he ex tolled the magnificent part women had played in the winning of the war and the vital contribution she was making to the solving of after war problems. the period of recon struction. and. particularly so. the fine part she was playing in the Americanization effort. He feat ured his talk with several incidents of a character to greater impress his central thought.
 II have great faith in women and I realize that they can accomplish much more than men. when it comes to things of a community or patriot ic order" he told his audience. They tell us that we are organized to death. I agree withthem. But, there is a very imperative need, in every community of America, today, of central organization, representative of all interests, that is ready and willing. at all times, without passing the buck to someone else, to under take those things of patriotic char itable or community character. You have a splendid Commercial Club in Wrangell. That is the organization through which the business men of Wrangell make their contribution. You have several women's organiza- tions in town. Each one serves certain field. You have no central pivot. This Central Committee will give you that centralized. coopera- tive effort, and give the women of Wrangell a more effective way of laboring in concert, with the Con- mercial Club for the promotion of Wrangell's interests"
 Captain Dancey told of the work that had been done in other commu- mites and his talk was followed by an informal discussion in which sey- |erai of the ladies voiced an enthu- siastic approval of the plan.
 Mrs. s. D. Grant moved and Mrs. JIG. Grant seconded, that a commit tee be named to approach the differ ent local units and arrange for the naming of delegates. The motion carried unanimiusly. Mrs. O. c. Pal mer, Mrs. NJ. O. Johnson, and Mrs. E. NJ. Campbell were selected as the committee
 The organizing convention will be called within the next two weeks and it is the plan of theCommercial Club. once the organization is con- pleted, to entertain the members of the Central Committee at joint luncheon and, thus. create a basis of cooperation.
