SEATTLE SENDS TWO TONS OF XMAS GIFTS TO ALASKA GIS

More than two tons of Christ mas gifts were sent to servicemen stationed in Alaska by people of Seattle this year, it was revealed 1, as the last shipment of Christmas boxes collected by the Victory Canteen of the Seattle Civilian War Commission left this week via Pan American Clipper for the Far North.
 Approximately 1,500 boxes to- taling more than two tons in weight were shipped to Alaska during November and December by Pan American World Airways without charge, as their contribu- ton to the fifth annual Christmas Gift Drive, thus insuring the ar rival of all packages by Christmas time.
 The Christmas boxes, each of which contained worthwhile, sub stantial gifts for servicemen who would otherwise be forgotten this coming holiday season, were do- mated by residents of Seattle through the Victory Canteen group of volunteer women who have collected special presents for men in Alaska for the past five years.
 The gifts were delivered by Pan American Clipper to Ladd Field, Fairbanks, and will be distributed by army officials to the men who will receive no other remembrance at Christmas.
