WINNIPEG TANNED
BY FLOOD VICTIMS:
CITY ENDANGERED

WINNIPEG, Man, May ill.,
Most of the $4,000 persons left
homeless by Southern Manitoba
flood waters we're crowding today
into stricken Winnipeg, itself VIC
tim of the rampaging Red River.
The exodus posed more problems
for harried officials in the Prairie
City. They have already appealed
for the evacuation of the city's 2OO,-
900 women and children.
A track washout eight miles south
OF here stalled a Canadian Ma
tional Railways train carrying $50
flood evacuees from the flooded Red
River valley, but a Navy ferry
service began the task of carrying
the passengers across a water gap
to safety. They will be taken into
Winnipeg. The refugees-including
las children and as infants-were
stranded at st. Norbert Station.
The waters rose steadily in the
Greater Winnipeg area, whose pop
ulation is 100000.

GA5TINEAU AREA
ORDERED BY ELK5

The Elks ambulance for the Cas-
tineau area was ordered last night
from Connors Motor Company, Wal
lis George, Exalted Ruler of the
Juneau Elks organization, amour
ced today.
The ambulance will be delivered

Connors Motor Company waived
its commission on the car, Pom
tiac Eight, and the Alaska Steam
ship Company will not charge
freight rates for transporting the

The Gastineau Channels neeo
for an ambulance was recognized
by the Elks Lodge here and steps
to take care of the need was taken
several months ago when the or
ganization decided to buy the en-
Urgency vehicle.
A committee representing the
fraternal organization approached
the city with a list of conditions
to be accepted by the city before
the ambulance could be ordered.
The Council accepted the condi-
tions, which provided that the city
make available garage space and
a driver for the ambulance, and re-
pair and maintain the vehicle.
A committee to administer Che
operation of the ambulance will
be set up with one member a,p-
pointed by the Elks Lodge, one
appointed by the city Council, and
the third member chosen by the
two original members. The COM
mittee as a whole will set up the
rates to be charged for use of the
ambulance.
All revenue received from its use
will be put into special fund to
be used only to replace the amS1-
lance when that becomes necessary
Use of the ambulance will not
be limited to the city. 1t will be
available for use throughout the
Gastineau Channel area, George
declared
1t will bear the Elks insignia on
its door.

Smelling, Refining and Mining Co,
The strike is threatened by Local
1850 of the International Brother
hood of Electrictl Workers (AFL).
Frank Angerman, territorial legis-
lator and union business agent
served the notice today in letter
to Roy B. Earling, vice president
and general manager of the Fair
banks exploration department o.
the company.
Angerman wrote the strike wa:
to be called because of an ''abso-
Lutte deadlock in working agree
ments" between the company anc
the union.
City officials expressed them
selves as alarmed over possible eff
ects of a strike on the city.
The company normally supplies
municipal electrical demands over
the 1000 kilowatt capacity of the
Northern Commercial Co. powe
plant. A shut down of the COM
pany powerhouse operations would
mean curtailment of electrical
power to an extent whereby only
the downtown section would receive
power.
A further complication is thai

Earring said the deadlock came
last month when officials began

gotiate further, when the company
refused to grant union shop

Senator Brewster of Maine.
The dinner was held not in the

Brewster had worked together on

Chief result of the Carlton dinner

Brewster agreed.
Though they didn't actually plan

WARNING

A warning has been issued re-
garding the use of carbon tetra-
chloride in cleaning. Potential dam
age may result in excessive or even
moderate use, it is said. There is
now one case in Juneau, it is said,
that may prove fatal. One teaspoon
full in a closed room may be dis
astrous and users are warned to
be careful in using the cleaning
fluid.
