If all other communities in Alas ka and the U. s. A. respond as we'll as Nome did last week in giving used clothing for the Ma tional clothing drive, the quota set at 1OO,OOO,O00 garments, will be more than reached.
 The Home Arts Club, local member of the Alaska Women'S Federation, sponsored the drive under the chairmanship of Mrs. Carl Glavinovich, who states that approximately 1900 good wearable garments, amounting to about 750 pounds, were contributed to this most worthy cause. The office force of the U. S. Smelling Go. gave several evenings of their time in packing and wrapping the many boxes, which will leave for Anchorage through the courtesy of the Alaska Airlines, and be taken to the States by boat. The committee of the Home Arts Club was aided by Mrs. John Whisen- hunt and group of young people who went. from house to house and collected the parcels.

The versatility of the new ocean treasures spray pin is dramatized by its use on a classic stardust blouse, as worn by Eleanor Cahill, selected as Miss Stardust of 1945." The pin is delicately de- signed by Battani, for the House of Treasures, to be adaptable as an accessory for spectator or formal wear. The tonal quality of this genuine mother of pearl, found in the East Indies waters, makes it highly effective on all costume colors.

Red Cross Personifies
Welfare Work Faults,
Mrs. Meyer Charges
Publishers Wife Again
Attacks Agency for
'PIoyine Lone Hand

The Red Cross was described
today as "the personification of
all the shortcomings of volun-
tary welfare work" by Mrs. En-
gene Meyer. wife of the publisher
Of the Washington Post.
IF the Red Cross persists in play
ing a lone hand, as it always has
heretofore. all social progress
through closer indignation of local
services will be difficult" Mrs. Meyer
told House Subcommittee on Aid
to Physically Handicapped.
She stated that the Red Cross and
local Community Chests collect more
than S500,000,00O annually in Ma
tion-wi drives, although nobody
is in a position to criticize these
organizations for the manner in
which that huge sum is spent"
Duplication of Efforts.
"In consequence, the results
achieved are wholly out of proper
ton to the money spent" she said.
I'VE have duplication of programs
with completion and jealousy ram
pant while few of the agencies
weigh their work in regard to the
total community problem.
Last November. Mrs. Meyer told
regional Red Cross conference in
New York that 'reactionary" ele-
ment in the Red Cross had as its
objective bureaucratic power
rather than service to mankind"
Unless you see to it that your
progressive leadership is upheld"
Mrs. Meyer told the conference, 1.-The
Red Cross can easily become a men
ace to the progress of democratic
ideas and their effective implement
tation"
Have Too Much Money.
Before the House subcommittee
today, Mrs. Meyer said the infantile
paralysis fund collects over SIC ,0OO,-
600 annually and enters every new
campaign with more money already
in the bank than it can possibly
spend on $4,000 cases." The tuber-
culosis fund, she added, lis equally
topheavy with money that it piles up
year after year"
In order to eliminate duplication
and care for neglected fields of seri-
Gus illnesses, she urged establish
