RED GROSS AIDS DEFENSE WORK
 IN MANY WAYS
Vast Volunteer Group Now Gathering Forces for
 Needed Services

The Red Cross is now engaged in
 a vast program to aid in the national
 defense of the country according to
 John NeWmarker, local Chairman,
 who states that it's activities should
 be of interest to every man, woman and child in the country.
 "In the tremendous job of pre- pairing our national defense in a period. the most dangerous in the history of mankind, the American Red Cross has an indispensable place. he says.
 T say indispensable because the Red Cross is the efficient means by which the voluntary spirit of serv- ice of our country can be organized and put to work where it will do the most good by countless services which cannot be taken care of in any other way.
 One Red Cross service, intimate ly concerned with national defense, has, no doubt. the greatest interest for everybody at the moment.
 This nationwide activity known as the Military and Naval Welfare service, is an assurance to every en- listed man in the Army, Navy, Ma rine Corps and Coast Guard, and to his family, that real friend is at hand, in camp and at home, ready to help when troublesome personal ! problems arise which fall outside the scope of military responsibility.
 Let me give you a typical ex- [ ample: Through Selective Service boy enters the Army and is sent for training to post hundreds of miles from home. He has been in only short time, and is doing very well, when word comes that his mother is seriously i'll at home, requiring expert medical care. The father and relatives all seem helpless for one reason or another, and the boy is so notified by the family.
 Tn this distressing circumstance, the young soldier is worried to dis traction. The worry affects the per-

AS
 INTRODUCED BY
 ALASKA DELEGATE

Alaska Delegate Anthony J., Di- mond has lately introduced the fol- lowing bills in Congress:
 H. R. 2256 was introduced in the House on January 16 for the purpose of increasing the pay of clerical employees of the Post Office Depart ment in the Territory. It proposes a 25 percent increase over the scale of pay for similar classifications in the States based on the higher cost of living in the Territory.
 H. R. 2257. to authorize the loca- tion, construction and equipment of naval station in the Territory of Alaska capable of supporting an adequate number of surface vessels in Alaskan waters, and authorizing an. appropriation of not over S1OO.- 100000.
 H. R. 2258 bill to transfer iur- isdiction over the fisheries of Alaska from the Department of the Interior to the Territory of Alaska.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-02-17

formance of his duties Then sud denly he discovers that he has a friend.
 The boy goes to the Red Cross Field Director and unburdens his story He finds the Field Director understanding. and wise, and will ing to do everything possible to be of assistance. Through Red Cross National Headquarters, and the Red Cross Chapter in the home town, the Field Director ,verifies the facts of the case, as related, and puts the wheels in motion which result in proper medical care being provided for the mother on favorable and possible terms.
 The result, obviously, is the sav- ing. of the health, and perhaps the life, of the mother, and the end of the young soldiers oppressive worry
 This is just one instance of a rather simple problem which comes up in hundreds and hundreds of cases at Army posts and Naval sta tions throughout the country. The Red Cross through its Field Direc- tor at the camp National Head quarters, and the home town chapter quietly solves these problems with friendliness and despatch. 
 But that is only one phase of
 Sd Cross Military and Naval Vel fare Service. Another activity of equal, or greater. importance, is the hospital medical social service and recreation program. A soldier. sailor or marine may fall ill and be taken to military hospital And it may be discoveerd that something is re- tarding his recovery something that is personal, that has nothing to do with the ailment.
 Cooperating closely With the doc tors, the Red Cross Medical Social Service Workers talks to the boy, gains his confidence, and, if neces- sary, puts the machinery in motion, just as described in the other case in order to help to solve the diff culty.
 "Functioning likewise in the mii- tary hospitals, are the Red Cross re- creational volunteers, popularly known as Gray Ladies, who are trained in the delicate art of help Ing the men toward faster recovery through games and other forms of wholesome recreation through writ ing letters and in many other ways.
 And let this be understood also: The. Army or Navy nurse attending i the boy is more than likely Red Cross nurse, selected by the military ! authorities from the Red Cross Nursing Reserve. And the technician in the laboratory, who analyses sam ples of his blood and performs other extremely valuable laboratory jobs, was probably obtained by the Army or Navy from the Red Cross Reserve of Medical Technologists."

Froggers Grab Big
Ones for Courmets
Louisiana Yields Million
Pounds Yearly

NEW ORLEANS. - Leather
skinned fishermen nightly are pol
ing their pirogues along the banks
of Louisianas sluggish bayous In
search Of the gourmet's delight
giant green bullfrogs.
They are only part Of the army
of fishermen from Florida, Tennes-
see and Missouri and other states
that make their living catching the
giant frogs from fresh water
marshes and shipping them to big
cities.
Louisiana boasts, however, that
the largest and best eating frogs
come from the southwestern section
of the state. Rayne lays claim to
the capital city, but Morgan City
and other towns in the area also are
heavy producers.
The state department of conser-
walton. in figures released recently,
said that 1,286.000 pounds of frogs
were caught in 1910.
The United States bureau of fish
cries says that no complete status
tics of the domestic catch of frogs
are available for Louisiana. How
ever. the bureau said Louisiana aun-
questionably is one of the most inn
portant of producing states for
frogs.
Methods for catching the big,
green fellows differ in the many
states, but in Louisiana such i'm
plements as the spear and gig have
been prohibited by law.
II wasn't humanity, but economic
reasoning that prompted adoption OF
the Louisiana frog catcher, a tong
like instrument with wooden ham
dies and claw-like jaws.
Conservationists discovered that
too many frogs were being gigged
or speared and then released when
the frogger found they were too
small for the market. Most OF these
frogs died.

Blind Trainer of Seeing
Eve Dog Is Real Adept

LOS ANGELES of the most
skilled trainers of "seeing-eye' dogs
for the blind is Otis Gathright, who
is blind himself
Gathright uses special technique
and trains a dog in about four
months. He has trained 10, and now
is at work on Prince, tawny Ger
man shepherd that he rescued from
the pound as pup.
Prince first had to learn that |
was blind said the trainer. i
would step on him purposely and
then have someone else avoid him
as he lay down. Thus he soon caught
on to my condition.
Il use a close chain, with which
to teach Prince to stay on my left
side. Thus | can carry my white
cane in my right hand and hold the
dog with my left"
Pride spurs the dog to learn his
job. SThe dog learned that his life
work is to look after the blind mas
ter. Only about in SO German
shepherds is fitted for the task,
Gathright said.
