G. I. Joe is not only going to
continue blasting Japs and Nazis
at an ever increasing rate, but he
is going to do it to music - thanks
to a nationwide campaign to col
lect musical instruments fo- the
boys across the seas. This cam
paign, now going into its final
week, is being sponsored in Will
mington by the Wilmington Coca
Cola bottling Co. at the request of
the War department.
Small instruments such as har-
monicas, ocarinas, accordions, gui-
tars. banjos, etc, are particularly
needed. Those wishing to donate
are asked to take them to any
"Coca-Cola" dealer. 'Coca-Cola"
trucks will pick them up and for
ward them to the Army, which
will send them overseas at once.
In Wilmington there are hun
dreds of musical instruments that
would delight the hearts of lone.
some soldiers. Everyone is urged
to dig down in Easements, attics
and storage rooms for t h 6
musical instruments that aren't
being used and take them to the
nearest "Coca-Cola" dealer.

Miss Ann Lois Davis
 From Visits to Interior Rainbow Assemblies

Miss Ann Lois Davis, Grand Worthy Advisor of the Order of Rainbow for Girls for the States of Washington and Idaho and the Territory of Alaska, returned to Juneau Sunday from an extended trip to the westward where she made official visits to Rainbow Assemblies in Anchorage and Fair banks. Plans for visiting the Cor dova Assembly were dropped since that Assembly found it necessary to give up their charter due to lack of girls in the community.
 On arrival at Fairbanks Miss Davis was met by Rainbow dele gation which surpassed in enthusi- asm anything she had ever wit messed. There were many informal breakfasts, luncheons and dinners wonderful turnouts at the meet ings, and the entire community was very interested in the Rain bow work. Grand Cross was con- ferred on eight girls.
 Her official visit to Anchorage Assembly was made on her return from Fairbanks. Here too, great interest was shown in the local as sembly Miss Davis conferred the Grand Cross degree on seven girls and had an opportunity to speak at length regarding the work of the Order, and the great responsi- bility which rests not only on the members and officers of the As sembly and Advisory Board, but also on the sponsoring body. The continued interest in Rainbow work in Alaska is a credit to the untiring efforts of the Advisory Boards and the support of the sponsoring groups and the towns people who assist in the various activities, she said.
 Miss Davis leaves this week for a brief visit at Petersburg and an official visit at Ketchikan, after which she will return to Seattle and begin her tour of the State as- semblieS. She has been very happy
