WRANGELL RED CROSS
 SENDS DONATION FOR
 FLORIDA DISASTER RELIEF
LoeaI Chapter Also Wires Proffer Of Rake Assistance To
 Juneau Chapter

A special meeting of the executive committee of the local chapter of the American Red Gross was called on Tuesday evening by the chair man, J. U. Grant. to consider the following cable under date Of Sept. 20, from Wm. Carl Hunt, in charge ol the Pacific Division of the Ma tional Red Cross with headquarters at san Francisco:
 National Headquarters wires.
 s"The southern Florida hurri-
 cane disaster was of such magni-
 1ude as to require assistance of
 all Red Cross chapters. On re-
 quest of the Governor Of Florida.
 the National American Red Cross
 is extending relief to the entire
 devastated area. Your chapter
 is authorized to receive and for
 ward to the San Francisco office
 all contributions for relief. Ad-
 equate publicity should imme-
 diately be given the fact that tho
 citizens of your community cal
 contribute to the disaster fund
 through your local chapter Of
 the Red Cross.
 After discussion the committee decided that due to the fact that the Indian village of Rake, which was almost wiped out by fire last week, would need help, Wrangen could not make it's contribution to the Florida disaster relief so gener- ous as usual A motion prevailed therefore, that twenty-five dollars be sent at this time, with perhaps another contribution later on.
 The secretary was instructed to wire a proffer of aid to the Juneau Red Cross chapter which has juris- diction over the chapter at Rake.
