Red Cross
 Needs Help

The need for a number of yolun- teer women workers was stressed at the October meeting of the Wran- gell Chapter of the American Red Cross. The meeting, held in the Firemen's Hall, was attended by twenty members and officers of the local chapter Chairman D. R. Sharnbroieh expressed the hope that more Wrangell citizens will become actively interested in Red Cross work as the chapter launches it's winter program. Anyone interested is welcome to attend the meetings which are to be held in the Fire mems Hall in the future, unless mo- tice is given of a change.
 Sewing and knitting are the two major activities in which local workers are especially needed. Since Wrangell is so far removed from actual war time activities, many of the branches of Red Cross service are closed to local people, but there is urgent need for knitted wear for soldiers and warm garments for needy children. Yarn and ready to sew materials are available at the Red Cross supply room in the Civic Center These materials may be taken from the supply room if the person taking them wishes. For those who prefer to sew ill the Red Cross headquarters, the room is op- en every Tuesday afternoon.
 First Aid classes are again plan ned for this winter, as are also Home Nursing classes. A Mothers Club has already been organized and ac- tivities well under way. The produc- tion chairman announced that a number of ditty bags for the navy and utility bags for army men still are needed to fill the quota for the Wrangel lchapter. These bags, con stituting a no. of items not listed as absolute essentials make the one item allowed soldiers that constitute a near luxury" They are also giv-

Hello Folks. Roll Call night was a successful affair. every officer was at his station, nearly every chair in the room was filled by Brothers, a new member Jim Kerstetter was initiated, District Deputy Past Ex- alted Ruler Hanford just return ed from his visit to Juneau and Sit ka lodges, the trustees again did themselves proud by another swell feed and the officers knew their parts Such a fine crowr and fine eats make a swell evening"
 Some of tie brothers wives have asked, why can't we put beds down at the club? Some of the brothers must not go home after lodge. assure you brothers that you're sure to get caught if you don't pull down the shades and we never can find out why 3:30 is the time for bro ther to cat foot it up the stairs
 The Ladies Night committee from the institute showed 10 tables of whist and the pinochle players how to spend on enjoyable evening. The lunch was SO good that one brother. ate his partners lunch and with a couple of other brothers including yours truly made a great big pig of themselves by asking for more Mrs. Case showed us all how to play cards with a score of GA, while Miss McNeil received low. Brother Bradley was also a high player with 5. Mr. Taylor fought for low and took the honors.
 Mrs Sumption had three good looking gentlemen fight over the privilege of serving for next week One felt so sorry that he had to de- cline because he was leaving, but you had better come and see who the other gentlemen are and if Mrs Sumption can get any work out of them.

 After that, the LRS really gets down to cases. It documents its claims about budget requests and bigger appropriations for the Army and Navy. It itemizes it's $1,625 O00,- GOO slash in non-defense expendi- lures, principally through the ef- forts of the joint House and Sen- ate committee headed by Sen. Harry Flood Byrd, of Virginia.
 It bends a knee to Chairman Andrew J. Mays House Military Affairs Committee; to Chairman Carl Vinson's House Naval Affairs Investigation Committee (which un- covered the excess profits in naval contracts and caused many .om- panies to kick back millions and others to offer to renegotiate con- tracts); and to Rep. Ross Collins, the longtime champion of a mech anied army, Flying Fortresses, and a powerful air force.
 It lists the accomplishments of the Truman Committee in uncov- ering many flaws and frauds in war production; and Of the Tolan Committee, which made a study of interstate migration O. war work CTS and of the evacuation of enemy aliens from strategic areas.
 In heavily documented para graphs, it clears the skirts of Con- gress of any mud flung up along the Alaskan highway. It shows how Congress had NO part or responsi- bility in the lack of Qualifications at Guam; in the failure to get oil pipelines to the eastern 5eaboard; in the rubber shortage: or i'll the troubles that now beset small busi- ness.
 It is truly a remarkable docu- ment-one tha. every student and participant in democratic govern- ment should have close at hand.

 While we're on the subject of LaGuardia it might be well to point out the similarity in appear ance between the Mayor and Com edian Lou Costello. They do say there's only one real way to tell them apart-and that is to intro duce yourself as reporter. If he ignores you-it's LaGuardia.

The Lieutenant explained, I'm not under my father juris- diction or command here.

tacuiarly Steamy 1dSt pail IN one OF
his rare starting assignments. Zuber
struck out six Yankees, including
the dangerous Joe Gordon on three
successive occasions.
First Game Merely Appetizer
Hauled out of the bull pen because
Of the Mats shortage Of pitchers,
Zuber registered the second shutout
by a Washington pitcher in the
Mats last three games. On the
other occasion, little Ray Scar
borough blanked the White Sox
on five hits in his first starting job.
That first game was a peculiar
affair. Dutch Leonard permitted
the Yankees five hits and four runs
in the first inning, then for the next
seven innings hurled hitless, runless
ball. In the ninth, after Leonard
had been lifted for a pinch hitter,
the Yankees clipped Bill Trotter
for two more runs.
The first game, though, merely an
appetizer for the night battle that
followed more than an hour and
half after the opener was over. Zu-
ber was supported by some spiffy
fielding by outfielders Stan Spence
and Bobby Estalella, but Bills pitch
ing was the main attraction.
In the fifth zuber walked Gerald
Priddy and Breuer moved the run
ner along with a sacrifice. RiZZuto
then popped out and Hassett flied
to Left Fielder George Case to check
that scoring gesture. Again in the
seventh a Yankee reached second
with two out as Priddy singled and
Breuer sacrificed, but Rizzuto
grounded out.
When Zuber wasn't striking out
the Yankees he was making them
lift meek pop f1ys. Eight times
Washington inielders gathered in
soft f1oaters.
Mats Bag Tilt in Third.
Washington produced what de-
veloped as the winning run in the
third inning. Marvin Breuer, who
had been in trouble the first two
innings, bumped into distress with
two out in the third.

Georgetown Has Speed,

Rr the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Sept. 5.-Coach
Jack Hagerty of Georgetown brought
"a fast, heavy team of Hoyas here
today for two hours OF intensive
scrimmage against a fighting Navy
squad that got into full gear for the
first time after some 10 days of prac-
ticing in shorts.
The Georgetown outfit, with speed
and weight on it's side, had a good
edge throughout the affair. Only
Midshipmen were admitted to the
friendly scuf1e on Farragut Field.
{ About so of Navy's hopefuls-lack-
ing their opponents bulk and swift
ness, and noticeabIy sans veterans
nevertheless put up a stiff battle
and got down to real business. There
were six or seven plebes with the
Navy squad.
Asked whether the workout was
tough, Comdr. John E. Whelchel,
new Sailor coach, said it was plenty
stiff, and that the daily rehearsals
would be stepped up from now on.
1t was the first contact work for
the Tars, who have engaged in more
or less light work so far this season.
Georgetown has been practicing for
about three weeks.
Up until today, the Middies had
been working out in shorts, but now
they are starting the tougher daily
stints that will get them ready for
an imposing 9-game schedule that
opens September 26 against William
and Mary College.
The Hoyas commence play the
night before, meeting Temple Uni
versity at Philadelphia.
Another practice scrimmage will
be held between the teams on Mon
