R0TARY(LUB BRANCH FOR
 BRITISH AID
Bundles for Britain Organ izdtion Sci Up for
 Juneau

To serve as the nucleus of an organization which will enlist local aid for England, the Juneau Rotary Club today constituted itself a branch of Bundles for Britain
 The Club will accept contributions of Juneauites wishing to assist the English people in standing off and defeating the German assault. AL though all details of the local ef- fort have not been worked out, it is planned that subscriptions for regular monthly contributions to- ward the purchase of hospital equip ment and other materials needed by England will be taken by the Ro- tary Club.
 H. L. Faulkner, the Rev. John L. Cauble and George Sundborg were appointed committee to or ganize the Bundles for Britain campaign here. Cauble will serve as Treasurer.
 Registered with State Dept.
 Bundles for Britain is the larg- est organization of its kind in Am- erica. It is registered with the U. S. State Department and authorized under the Neutrality Act to solicit and accept donations for England Such donations qualify for income tax exemption.
 The organization started as one which gathered clothing for Brit ain thence the name) but more re- gently has been sending surgical instruments and whatever else Eng fish leaders send word the nation needs urgently.
 More than $50 Rotary Clubs in the United States have become branches of Bundles for Britain.
 No Sacrifice Yet
 Speaking in favor of today's ac- tion, Faulkner said we in America all feel the danger of Nazi domina- tion but very few of us have made any sacrifices to head it off. It is not only our duty to aid Britain, he declared, but our duty to de- fend ourselves by so doing.
 Contributions from the entire community are invited by Bundles for Britain. The Rotary Club is serving as the local branch and will transmit Juneau contribu- tions to New York and thence to England in the form of urgently needed supplies.
