To Swim To
Great Britain

KINGSTON, Jamaica - (ANP) -
A popular saying here in Jamaica
seems to be, IF you want to go to
Britain it looks like you'll have to
swim"
This attitude seems to prevail
here because of a recent Finance

may not sell tickets to Great Brit
ain from Jamaica because of Jamai-

People claim that ships already

Thanks Bishop
 Rowe Hospital

Paying tribute to the Bishop Rowe Hospital and it's staff, o. F. Beneeke, general office manager for Alaska Coastal Air Lines, last week expressed his appreciation for the hospitals aid during ACA's recent plane crash,
 Benecke's letter to the hospital follows:
 Bishop Rowe Memorial Hospital Wrangell Alaska,
 Alaska Coastal Airiines wishes to thank the staff of the Bishop Rowe Memorial Hospital for the kindness and consideration extended the passengers from the plane which crashed at Knig Slough, December I2, 1949. The writer also wishes to express his appreciation for the conrtesies extended him during his brief stay in Wrangell.
 When Alaska Coastal Airlines contributed $10O toward the main- tenanee of the Wrangell hospital some months ago. it certainly did not anticipate it would ever have occasion to use it. However, we can say with all truthfulness and sim cerity that we were extremely glad that such splendid hospital faeili- ties are available in Wrangell and that the hospital so so competently staffed.
 We regret that we contributed, in part at least, to the delaying the replacement of full times nurs- es to your staff
 We would like to thank you for your grateful assistance.
 Yours very truly,
 o. F. Benecke, General Office Manager.

07 Christmas
 Baskets Prepared

Ninety-seven Christmas baskets were delivered to 56 families by the Stocking Fillers last weekend. Filled with foodstuffs, clothing and toys, the baskets were made pos sible by funds collected from or ganizations. churches, business men and a few individuals the past two weeks. A total of just over $550 was collected and cost of the bas- kets was $33S.18. A few minor ex- penses will probably add another s2O to the total bill
 Surplus funds will be carried over and 1t is planned to have meeting of committee members shortly after the first of the year to decide what type of permanent organization should be set up to administer the fund.
 The Stocking Fillers is a group cocposed of representatives of all fraternal and other organizations, churches, business men, etc. The idea is to consolidate contributions into one fund and take care of the needy from this fund rather than to have each organization act in- dependently. This eliminates dupli- cation of effort and solves the prob lem of too many different collec- tions at this time of year.
 The Stocking Fillers wish to thank the Civic Club for the use of club facilities in preparing the baskets and also appreciates the help of Miss Arne Bulkeley, Phil Williams Jr., Leonard Bullis, Bob Semours and John Porter in deliv- ering the baskets
