] War Fund Chairman Dick sharn- broieh announced this afternoon that with over half Of the residents of the town contacted. less than one fourth of the $500 quota has been raised l number of people contae- ted have doubled their giving and even more and almost everyone has made a contribution when they have been approached.
 In the period from July l. l941 to June 30. 1922. Wrangell raised S1.560S0 for the Red Cross. This gave WrangelI a per-eapita giving rate of S1.14 while the per-capita rate for the entire Territory of AI- aska was only 97. In our 1941 roll call. Wrangell enrolled 30.5 percent of its population while the average percentage enrolled for the Terri tory was only 19.7. These figures show clearly that Wrangell has aI- ways come through with Red Cross giving and is working with the object in view Of raising it's quota again this year
 The American Red Cross. says Chairman Sharnbroich. "is the Am eriean people and unless We give generously this year. the Red Cross vii lnot be able to meet it's obli- gations to our armed forces or aid those in distress in this country and other lands"
 Several benefits are in the planning stage and will be amour ced later in the month. Organiza- tions wishing 10 make a contribu- tion to the Red Cross or wishing to organize a benefit of some sort to raise funds are asked to contact Chairman Sharnbroich
 There are still two small districts in town which have not been GOV cred for lack of volunteer workers. Anyone wishing to give a hand in this work is osked to contact Dick Sharnbroich

Ski Jumping is Minus Its Ace

NEW YORK, Jan. 9 - Ski
jumpers again are soaring down
icy chutes and leaping good dis

Toxic NEVER OUTJUMPED
Actually Toxic was never
beaten. Six times he was out
pointed on form, but never did
competitor outjump him. And
since coming TO this country
from Norway in January, 1899,
he has competed in so tourna-
n ents. In four winters of jump
ing. he made more than 500
leaps, fell only five times. He
defied laws of gravitation, never
suffered an injury.
What Sonia Henie did for ice
skating, Toxic did for ski jump
ing. He popularized and revolu-
tionized the art.
Toxic is one in connection
with whose feats you may pro-
parly use the word sensational.
His exploits lift ski jumping
to the status of major winter
sport.
Hill records that stood for
years yielded to him. He broke
