Sending Goods Abroad.
The United States is at present

by sending abroad much more OF

and factories than other nations

of their own goods and services.
This extraordinary assistance is

Our basic purpose has been, and
must continue to be, to help build
a structure Of international eco

permit sound economic growth
without the necessity for special
financial aid.
We must be certain that we are
taking every possible step to attain
this objective. We have a vital
economic interest in its achieve

situation places a heavy burden
upon our national budget. We are
now a creditor nation, and this
fact has an important bearing on
both our domestic and foreign pol
icies. We cannot continue to sell

After we pull out, the coun-

Also, some countries are in sur

 Two couples each from the Sour docey-do Club and the Promenaders expertly carried out the calls ot Will Reedy, with Mrs. Reedy at the piano. Other floor show entertain ment featured novely singing and the music of Lii Uggen's orchestra which also played for dancing.

ONLY S14,o00 LEFT
 TO RAISE FOR LIBRARY

Library Board chairman Frank Heintzleman, in charge of raising funds for Juneaus new library, to- day announced the latest develop ments in the drive which has been carried on for some time.
 "Only $14,000 now stands between us and a fine library building" he said. He pointed out the rare op- portunity now being given Juneau to obtain long wanted new library building and urged Juneau's citizens to give generously, either in cash or in two-year pledges, during the coming week.
 Public subscriptions, coming in large part from local firms, indi- viduals and organizations. have provided the money for the pur- chase of a site for $10000 and S56,OOO toward the cost of the pro- posed building, estimated at $40. 900. Federal match money to the extent of S7O.OOO is available for the pro- feet on a 50-50 basis under the Alaska Public Works Program. We thus have a balance of S14,000 to raise by popular subscription. The building is to be constructed this summer if the $14,000 can be raised in the next month or two," he con- cluded.

CABLE "B00STER" GOES OUT ON MIDWAY ISLAND;
 S3-F00TER E ON ITS WAY

The Juneau based Coast Guard s3-foot patrol boat set off this morning for Midway Island, . 10 miles south of Port Snettisham, to land Matt Gormley, radio engineer for the Alaska Communications System, for repair of a repeater station which has gone out on the Juneau-Ketchikan cable.
 The repeater-or "booster"-is one of two on the island, which in turn is one of six such stations from here to the first city. Capt. Svend Hansen of ACS said the repeater went dead several days ago, but severe weather held up any attempt to try for landing.
 Two repeaters are at each sta- tion so that in case one goes dead, the other may be switched on from headquarters so that the cable will not go into disuse while the dead mechanism is awaiting re- pair.

OPEN HOUSE OF JWC SUNDAY IS SOCIAL EVENT FOR MEMBERS

The "Open House" held Sunday afternoon at the Main Street pro- rerty of the Juneau Woman's Club gave old and new members an op- portunity to assemble there socially for the first and possibly the last time. The location was once dream ed of for a club home but a war and other considerations delayed it's building and the dream is now envisioning a larger scope of com munity service. The hours were from from 4 to 6 and the hostesses were Mrs. William L. Paul, Club President, and Mesdames Mildred R. Hermann, D. w. Heron and c. E. Warfield and Miss Anne Cole man, present members of the Building Board, who received the guests
 The oval table in the dining room was set by the double side windows and centered against the lacey background with a beautiful ar rangement of spring flowers in front of which were arranged the attractive sandwiches of tiny cakes. Asked to pour during the receiving hours were past and present mem bers of the Building Board, Mrs. Crystal Jenne, Mrs. Ray G. Day, Mrs. Hermann, Mrs. Warfield and Mrs. Heron.
 The clever invitations which were issued to the affair bore drawing of the house at the top and des- cribed three acts in connection with the property. The acquisition of the location in 1888 through the vision, faith and business shrewdnesS of the members of the JWC constitut- ed the first act. The symbolic burn ing of the mortgage in 194l ended the second act, it was stated, and the merging of the club house dream into greater project for the community of Juneau is about to complete the third act with two more acts to follow.
 The "Open House" yesterday was described as a Farewell to the Old, Hail to the New" and will be long remembered by the many club women who were able to be present.
