Tm woman who likes the simplicity Of
her gown served without severity will
welcome the frock sketched above.
Here the smart jabot drapery, hanging
from the left shoulder, champions the
cause Of femininity, while the twin jabot
cascading from the left hip furnishes that
soft and uneven hemline that fashion has
found so alluring this season. The cuffs,
neck and draperies are bound with self
material, which might well be satin crepe,
crepe de Chine or satin-back MORE.
With the omission of sleeves and with a
slight deepening Of the neckline, this
model is extremely good for evening wear

A WORTHY CAUSE

The citizens of Seward will have the opportunity, on Sundayto demonstrate their appreciatveness to the Wo mans Home Missionary Society for establishing the Jesse Lee Home here. For on Sunday Easter Pageant will be presented at the Liberty theatre in which pupils from the Home and members of the staff will participate
 The main purpose in making this presentation is to raise sufficient amount of money with which to pur chase round-trp ticket to Seward from Pacenta, Cali fornia for Mrs. Annie Dobbs Woodcock who is directly responsible for raising $50000, the cost of the Jewel Guard Ha the boys building of the local Jesse Lee Home group of buildings
 It might be added that this large amount was con- tbuted in nckels and dimes by children under 12 years of age from all parts of the United States in order that other boys and girls in Alaska might have fitting home
 Mrs Woodcock is not rich woman in fact she could ill afford the expense of making the trip to Seward next June at which time dedication services will be held at the Home and is only fitting and proper that Sewards contribution to this service of appreciation should be be- slowed with lavish hand.
 Your offering Sunday afternoon large small will be your contribution to the Woodcock Travel Fund and will be your badge of admission to the June celebration

APPROXIMATION 4

In accordance with the established custom, the President of the United States has by proclamation dcsignat- cd the week beginning April A, 1927, as AMERICAN FOREST WEEK so that the attention of all the people may be directed to the necessity of united effort in formulating plans for the preservation and po-CetuatiOn of our forests + the importance of our forests as a factor in our nation grave danger of their destruction can be presented 10 all of the people, the efforts to protect them will be suc- cessful. The greatest obstacle to be overcome is the indifference of pub lie opinion toward the conservation of one of the greatest Of our national resources
 The purpose of American Forest Week is to afford an opportunity for a concentrated effort directed toward the disseminate of information con- corning the extent of the forests, their importance to the nation, their efficient utilization, methods for the prevention of their destruction by fire, plans for reforestation, and to- ward the stimulation of nationwide interest in the problem of forest re- habilitation
 Alaska is interested particularly in all of these problems because we have large areas of virgin forests and must look to them as one of our greatest assets, hence We should make every effort to encourage an efficient utilization of their products at the same time having in mind that they must be safeguarded and perpetuated.
 Therefore. I, George A. Parks, Gov ernor Of Alaska, in conformity with the Proclamation Of the President of the United States, do hereby desig- nate the week beginning April 24, 1927, as American Forest Week and urge that during this time all flask ans give heed to the necessity of preventing forest fires and to meas ures necessary for the preservation and perpetuation of our forests. earnestly urge that special excercis- es be held in all the schools and that the press, and public generally give consideration to the forest needs in their respective communities.
