 been asked to raise a large sum of money to meet this situation which affects el- even states. Admiral Cary Grayson is in direct charge of the relief work and al- ready has one hundred trained disaster workers in the field. Alaska is called upon to help in the work of raising funds for the flood sufferers. The Red Cross is already organizing in each chapter to raise mon- ey. Contributions to this fund through the Red Cross should be general. It should not be confined to Red Cross members. AL aSka's quota has been fixed by the Red Cross at the sum of S1, 800. It would be greatly to Alaska's credit if she would go over the top and contribute more than is asked for. I urge the people of the Territory to give generously to this fund to aid sufferers and to remember that he who giv- es quickly, gives doubly. l urge everyone in Alaska to get in touch with the Red Cross workers and give as much as he can afford to this humanitarian cause.
