 The local quota had been tenta- lively fixed at S1,O00. The quota for the entire Chapter was placed at Sz,O00, which, it is believed will be reached without difficulty
 The number of memberships has not been definitely calculated. MT Merritt believed that at least 25 per cent of Juneau's total popula- ton has been enrolled and the final figure may go even higher. After last years Roll Call. he said. the Alaska Red Cross was in third place among the States and Terri tories in ratio of membership to population. If other communities in the Territory respond as liber- ally as Juneau has done. he said it is not unlikely that Alaska will lead this year.
 Commenting on the local results, B. M. Behrends, President of the Juneau Chapter, said that they are the best since the period of the World War"

 Tt is conceivable that planes scouting in the spring for good hunting areas might cause some damage to flocks if they flew at too low altitude as the sheep would be easily alarmed. We called at tention of the airplane companies to this danger and asked them to cooperate with us in obviating it. The Commission has received splendid cooperation from these companies and it is confident that it will continue. It is not a part of our duty to regulate transporta- ton and the Commission does not desire to do so. Further, it will do anything that it can to promote the development of aerial transpor- tation in the Territory rather than seek to place any restrictions in it's way" he concluded.

The task of filling the ships bunkers was con- cleted early this afternoon and the job of cleaning the ship was well under way by the time the last ton of coal went down the bunker chutes.
 The Unalga is one of the few remaining vessels of the Coast Guard fleet burning coal.

Game Commission Denies Report 1t Considering
 Aerial Regulations

After it's attention had been called by telegrams to reports cur rent in other parts of the Terri tory that it was contemplating regulations restricting the use oi airplanes by hunting parties, the Alaska Game Commission today is- sued a statement formally denying there is any foundation for such reports
 Since 1t has been is session here the Commission has received sev- eral telegrams indicating that an impression existed in certain guar. ters that it was about to regulate against the use of airplanes ir hunting fields.
 In denying the correctness oi such impression, Dr. ". H. Chase President of the Board, said: "Ii is not the policy of the Cammis. sion to undertake to regulate trans. portation of hunting parties by air. plane or otherwise. The Commls. sion does not consider this to bs a part Of it's functions and has al no t.me had in mind any such ae. t'en. It is at a loss to account for reports indicating to the con. trary."
 Two years ago, Dr. Chase added reports were received by the Com. mission to the effect that injury to the breeding flocks of sheep haC been caused by airplanes flying low over lambing grounds.

A Resignation That Didn't Take.
(NeW York Times

Up around Plymouth Notch the elders will be inclined to say that the President was "purty cute the way he handled the resignation of Ambassador Houghton. But the general feeling there and elsewhere in America and Europe will be pleasure that MT. Houghton is going back to England
 It is new thing in resignatiens: the proffer- Ing of one, the published expression of regret by ones chief, at a time when the political effect might prove valuable and then the later refusal to accept it. But it was perfectly legiti- mate for the President to take advantage of Mr Houghton's letter to let the New York electorate Know what an excellent public servant the Am bassador is. And it is equally legitimate for the President, the New York voters having missed their opportunity to ask the Ambassador to serve out the remainder of his term.
 In such instances MT. Coolidge lives up to one view of him that is general throughout the country. This is, that he is good politician who knows his way about. To be a good pol- tician means simply to be a good student of human nature, and the Presidents successful career establishes the fact that he is one

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Thanksgiving Day. which will occur tomorrow
 is of the oldest American institutions, though it not recognized as a National annual event until 1864, when President Lincoln designated the fourth Thursday in November a day for thanksgiving on account of the certain signs of the failure of the rebellion of the Southern States. Since that time every President has proclaimed a Thanksgiving Day and the States with hardly an exception have continuously observed the occasion.
 The first American Thanksgiving Day was in 1921, the year after the landing of the Pilgrims It was observed immediately after their first har- vest Tile Plymouth Colony had Thanksgiving days from time to time thereafter The Massa- chusetts Bay Coony's first Thanksgiving Day was in 1630, and it was repeated now and then there after until 1880 when it became an annual custom. Connecticut observed her first Thanks giving Day in 1889 and annually after 1647 ex- cept in the year 1875 The Dutch of New Meth erlands appointed a Thanksgiving Day in 1644 and occasionally afterward. One has been pro- claimed by the Governor of New York State annually beginning with 1917.
 During the Revolutionary War the Continental Congress designated or more Thanksgiving Days each year except in 1777, each time recom- mendng that the Executives of the separate States provide for their observance
 President Washington proclaimed the first Ndllchal lhanskglVlng Day for November 26, 17S9 and another one in 1795. The next Ma tional Thanksgiving Day proclaimed by President Madison following the close of the War of 1912 We had no more National Thanksgiving Days until, as was stated, was proclaimed by President Lincoln in 1864. Other Presidents without exception single failure have fol lowed that precedent
 However, nearly all of the States were observ- ing Thanksgiving Day long before it became National custom While some of the Southern States were slow in adopting it, because they re- garded it as relic of Puritanical bigotry and superstition, in 1858 there were 25 States and two Territories to observe the event, none of which ever afterward failed to celebrated
 Probably in the history of the United States had the country for which to give | thanks to the Great Ruler of the Universe than in this year of our Lord, 1928. There are no people under the Stars and Stripes who have greater cause for thanksgiving than those who call Alaska home It is appropriate, therefore that all the people of this Territory should tomorrow offer prayers of profound thanksgiving to the Creator fer our manifold blessings
