THANKS. THANKS, THANKS

The Douglas Eagles No. IF, as well as the entire Douglas com- munity are in very high spirits, over the success of the Roberta Jackson benefit dance given by the Eagles Saturday night. A capacity crowd attended the dance and no one asked for change on entering the door to the hall More than double the expectations of the Eagles Committee members was the results of the financial success of the evening. Following a cash up, the sizeable amount of S458 was turned over to the Jackson fam fly to be put in the Roberta Jack son Fund, which has been opened at the B. M. Behrends Bank in Jureau. The orchestra, consisting of Jim Gregg of Juneau on the piano, Charles Werner, bass fiddle, and John and Tauno Niemi doubl- ing on the guitar. cornet, and sax, provided excellent and live ly music for the huge crowd, play ing until l:30, then continuing to a local night spot where the management there rounded up an- other S100 to be added to the fund.
 The Eagles extend their most gracious thanks to everyone who helped make the event worthy one, thanks to the Channel busi- ness men who gave their radio time and paper ads, thanks to the mary Juneau-Douglas residents who were So big-hearted.
 Several other organizations are taxing up the project of raising funds to be used for the severely burned, but high-spirited little g. year old Jackson girl, who is now awaiting transportation to hospit- ,i ln the states.
 The Douglas Island Womans Club had a cookie sale last Sat- urday at Feusi-Jensen store; the Mariner Scouts of Juneau are hav- ing a candy sale next Saturday.
