VICTORY CLOTHING COLLECTION

The collection of Victory Cloth ing is this week from January 7th to January 18th inclusive, in Nome, and it is hoped that every one in this vicinity will respond wholeheartedly and show real CO., operation in bringing in garments suitable for sending to our needy allies.
 A little digging into your attic or back cache should prove fruit full. You may come across many garments of no value to yourself, but an article of clothing which would be of real worth to some man, woman or child.
 To add a personal touch and maybe give boost to morale, you may enclose simple friendly note expressing good wishes and sympathy.
 People always need encourage ment and sincere interest in their plans. This note may bring just small but sorely needed "hello neighbor" to someone.
 You may, if you choose, include your name and address, and in re- turn may hear of the cheery good your efforts have brought.

Japanese Burn Books, Too

MANILA - P) Japanese de- struction of Philippine schools has handicapped their re-establish- ment, President Sergio Osmena says. Not only desks and chairs, but books were used as firewood by the Japanese soldiers.
 While fighting continued, the work of gathering books for the schools was started. Desks and chairs could come later, Osmena said.
 The major job in rehabilitation will be elimination of Japanese customs forced upon Filipinos, the president says. Schools, he be- ieves, are vital in this program. He hopes also to establish a new library of ''only American books. |"
