HALF WAY MARK
 PASSED BY NWF
 DRIVE IN WRANGELL

Up to last night, a total of $755 has been contributed to the Nation al War Fund drive, which puts the campaign past the half way mark for the quota of $14OO. The Alaska Native Sisterhood had the distinc- ton of being the first local organi- zation to contribute to the drive with a donation of $1O, and the Women's Civic club early voted to give $25. and the Emblem club SlO. The Elks dance resulted in the sum of $50 being donated by that or ganization. The students of Wran- eell Institute, at an assembly called by Mr. Barrett, pledged $50, which they desired to have allocat- ed. appropriately enough, to the children of Europe.
 This makes fine start for Wrangell and it is hoped that be fore the drive ends on November Il. the quota will be reached. Twenty-two organizations, all de- voted to the alleyiation of suffer ing caused by world at war, will benefit from the current campaign.
