 Mrs. Alyce F. Anderson, the teach CT at Naknek, in Bristol Bay has sent subscription to the Junior Red Cross News. Her letter was brought by dog team to Kanatak in November; be cause of the storms when the La touche was there, no mail left Kanat- ak from November to February
 Sand Point has the smallest popu1a- ton in any of the Branches of the Seward Chapter, but does not prevent most amazing Roll Call MT. An drew Grosvold, known to the west ward as ''The King of Sand Point" was the leader, all the rest followed his suggestions. There were few dol lar memberships-most Of them were five dollar ones-and there were some ten dollar subscriptions. The Roll Call was held a litte later than usual but it was a wonderful success. One hundred and fourteen dollars was sent the Division with a beautiful tri- bute to the nursing service.

 A new book, The American Nation al Red Cross" by Elizabeth Picket has just been published by the Gen. tury company, New York City It is small, POO pages beautifully illustrat- ed. The pictures as we'll as the text cover the origin, the purpose and the service of the Red Cross in a most in- teresting way. It is no effort to read it and it costs ony fifty cents. The seventy illustrations are worth this small sum. We are looking for a wide distribution of this book throughout the jurisdiction of our Chapter Or ders may be left with Miss Fuller. A copy of the book may be examined at the drug store.
 On Thursday afternoon, in connec- tion with the George Washington pro- gram given at the Seward school, the girls who recently completed the class work in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick received their Red Cross cer- sent from the Division office in San Francisco. Classes of this kind have been held in Unalaska, Unga, and one will be organized in Seldovia in the near future
 A meeting of the members of the Seward Chapter will be called some time next week to discuss several mat ters of importance. A large attend ance is desired. Some people seem to think these meetings are for the of ficers and the executive committee only. They are Chapter meetings and should be attended by all who have given dollar to the Red Cross.
