 The Alaska Federation was or ganized in 1916 with a nucleous of five clubs. It was largely through the efforts of a Douglas woman that the organization was possible.
 Proceeds from a rummage sale Thursday will go into the building fund. The rummage sale will be in the parlors of the Methodist Church @
