SONS OF NORWAY
 TO AID FUND Al
 1.-THE NORWAY
Local Group to Give Series ofcard Parties to Raise
 Money for Planes

As a part of their contribution to the Wings for Norway" fund' which has been instituted at Little Norway. the training center for the Norwegian Air Force in Toranto' the local organization of the Sons of Norway is planning a series oi card parties starting tonight.
 The local group will give five of the parties, one every week Tn the odd Fellows Hall. Admission charged is $50, plus tax, and pro- ceeds will be sent to the Toronto headquarters to be added to the steadily growing fund aimed at buying more planes for the defense of Norway
 This evening the first of the parties will start at o'clock, and prior to it will be a short business meeting of the Sons of Norway at 7:30 o'clock
 How Fund Started
 The fund was started last May in Little Norway by boys who had es- caped the Nazi dominated country and come to Toronto to train in the Air Force. Every man in the group has promised to donate part of his salary every month for the pur- chase of new planes for the duration of the war. and most of the Nor wegians who have gathered around the center are also contributing substantially.
 In letter from Miss Ellen Repp. contralto artist who gave three concerts in Juneau last summer, some of the spirit of the center is shown. Miss Repp says, T have just sung for the boys in Little Nor way. I was so thrilled by these real Vikings. Never have I seen such a demonstration of courage, strength and bravery. It is grat- flying to realize that there are those who have yet the conviction that they will not compromise their democratic idelas"
 Safe Way To Aid
 Miss Repp further states that the project for raising funds for planes lis the most direct and safest way of giving assistance. Money is the most urgent need, but stockings, sweaters and Norwegian books are also necessary
 Believing that many NorWegians in Alaska wish to aid, Miss Repp says that helpirig the fund at Little Norway is the most direct and forceful way for them to do so.
 Miss Repp is personally arrang- ing a number of benefit concerts for the camp, which is composed of Norwegians training for actual Ser vice and others serving in other capacities.
 The camp in Toronto is open to visitors whc came in to inspect the city, with its offices, school rooms, depots. hospital, barracks, mess

CAA TRAlNEES x. NOW FIGHTING
 IN S0UADR0NS
Pilots Given Instructions in U. 5. Hitting Jer-
 ries Hard"

WASHINGTON, Nov 8 Two thirds of the American Eagle Squadron in England learned to fly in the Civil Aeronautics Adminis- tration's pilot training program, ac- cording to word received by the CAA from Pilot Officer Harold Strickland, a Chicagoan now sta toned at London as a member of the American Eagle Squadron, R. AZ.
 Strickland says he finds it am 3zing' that many of the boys who are now hitting the Jerries hard |. hopped off on their first solo flight in a CAA Cub about 12 months ago-and today they fly a tight formation, in Hurricanes in the clouds
 Emphasizing the important les sons to the American military forces of mass wartime aviation. Strick- land stated that its a good thing lCoNlNOll llht NlAt &f1l LN set up for them to draw from as a starter
 The CAA training program begun in 1889, has fed more than 10000 of it's students to the Army and Navy air forces and, in aH, has created more than 55,000 new pilots. AL most 15,000 students are currently enrolled at more than 500 colleges and other centers.
 Asserting that T have seen noth- ing that reflects on the CAA courses,' Strickland cites this ex- ample of performance by CAA graduates with the Americ can Eagles:
 Yesterday we were on a Squad ron search at attitudes. At 25,0OO feet we went into tight formation and flew through the clouds, then let down. When we made contact we were all in correct positions. '

ESKIM0S In ALASKA
IMPORT LARGE HERDS
OF SANTA'S REINDEER

When San Niklaas inmigrated to
America and became naturalized
into Santa Claus, he used little
wagon drawn by fat pony for his
visits. This was all changed in 1922
by Clement Clark Moore who wrote
the immortal poem, ''The Night Be-
fore Christmas" In this poem San
ta's equipage was the miniature
sleigh and eight tiny reindeer" It
has remained sleigh and reindeer
ever since.
Just as Santa Claus was imported
from abroad, his reindeer were also
imported to America for the Christ
mas celebration. Santa Claus, how
ever, was merely imported figura-
lively; his reindeer were actually
brought over here.
AS result of government efforts
to start reindeer herds in Alaska
there are now more than 200 of
these animals grazing on the frozen
tundra of the north. They not only
furnish the animals for Christmas
displays and parades throughout the
United States, but they provide an
important source of food and in
come to the Alaskan Eskimos.
Reindeer were introduced in Alas
ka in 1891. Several years later
Lapp herders were hired to instruct
the Eskimos how to care for the
animals which are very prolific, dou-
bling their numbers every three
years.
Reindeer are caribou which have
been domesticated through many
centuries. Its flesh has lost the
game flavor until now it resembles
a cross between duck and mutton.
