Wrangell Red Cross May Receive Cotton
 Cloth Allotment

Red Cross chapters throughout the Pacific area have been asked by A. L. Schafer, manager of the Pacific Branch Office at San Fran cisco, to make a survey and deter mine the needs of each community in providing cotton cloth and wear ing apparel for people in distress.
 The action followed official word that President Hoover had signed the bill authorizing the transfer of 500,000 bales of government owned cotton to the American Red Cross and that plans for it's distribution were now being considered. 2 In addition to ascertaining the supplies that may be necessary for six months period, the survey will determine the number of vol unteers that may be mobiliZed to produce garments and what machin- cry is available. MT. Schafer says:
 Every Red Cross chapter during the World War had its Production Committee in sewing and knitting thousands of garments for the sol diers. Many of them have continued with the prodution of garments, baby layettes or surgical bandages for hospitals.
 "In many cases the wartime groups have remained intact. In all cases the Red Cross chapters have the nucleus for starting work on clothing, especially for women and children, and in a very short time these organizations can be ex- banded as far as the need of each community may require.
 Some 300 chapters in Alaska, Arizona. California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington are participating in family relief by distributing Red Cross flour milled from government whaet. Prelimi- nary reports from field representa- tives indicates there is a need in some localities for bedding.
 ''The chapter survey will give authentic information to guide distribution of clothing in ad- dition to four
 A committee consisting of Mrs. H. D. Campbell. Mrs. Josephine Mason and Mrs. J. A Acton was appointed at the August meeting of the Wrangell chapter to consider the need of a supply of cotton goods for local use

Quarter Million Men
 Work On Highways

A quarter of million men work ing 30 hours a week for II months that will be the result, a nation wide survey indicates, of the s120- G00,O00 Federal appropriation to aid states in highway construction. In virtually every state, the con- struction program. designed to make the jobless self-sustaining, was hailed as a vigorous step in the right direction.
 Relief workers generally were en- thusiastic over the provision for a S0-hour week, thus providing jobs for more workers over a longer period.
 Highway construction will be doubled or tripled in many states by the Federal government, which must be matched dollar for dollar by the states themselves. Governors of several states indicated as many as 10000 men would be employed at road work.
 In addition to the thousands working directly at road construc- tion, others will be employed at manufacturing materials and ma- chinery. Work for the unemployed also was expected to better bus mess conditions in countless com munities throughout the nation.
 Highway officials In IS states gave definite estimates of the ad- ditional number of men employed in their territory and the total was 118,740. Practically every other state reported substantial employ ment increase would result, but estimates were unavailable pending a check on the amounts to be ex pended for materials and for labor.
 California reported 16,000 men would be put to work extending the states improved road system; Kansas estimated 10000 and Mis- sissippi 5000.
 Contracting companies every where were jubilant over expec- tations of new jobs. Employees who have been laid off for months were told to come back in a week or so and we'll probably have something.

CLUB NEEDS
 MAGAZINE
 DONATIONS

The Civic Club held it's regular monthly meeting at the library on Saturday afternoon, August 6. The principal business transacted con cerned the library which Is the chief activity of the club at the present time.
 In order to reduce the cost of maintenance. it was decided to cut down the list of magazine subscrip- tions to the few that cannot be readily obtained from readers as donations and to use any available money for books, instead. One of the biggest problems that the club has to contend against is the utter disregard for the privileges of the reading room on the part of Certain patrons. Late magazines are being carried off continually when one of the necessary rules of the library is that no magazine may be taken from the room without the permis- sion of the librarian.
 It is through the work of less than half dozen women, with the assistance of the city in the mat ter of housing, heat and light and service, that the library is main tained, and if the work is to go on, say these women, some regard for the rules, few as they are, must be shown.
 In order to keep the reading ta- ble supplied with periodicals, an appeal is being made to subscribers of magazines and papers of interest to the general public, to donate these after they are read. The li- brarian will be glad to receive them during the regular library hours or they may be left on the table at any time. If too many of one kind are brought, extras will be given where they will do the most good.
 Four new Carnegie books were received last week. They are beau tiful books with a retail value of
  S14.50 and are part of the Inter national Mind Alcoye, of which Al books are now at hand. The books received this month are: Across The Gobi Desert by Sven Hedin; This Is Russia by G. E. Raiguel and w. K. Huff; Progress In International Organization by Manley o. Hudson, and Young Europe by Valentine Thomson.
 The library board of the club Is making a selection of late fiction and when these books are received, the titles will be made public. The next meeting of the club will be held September g.
