Reindeer Herd Started On St. Paul Island

A nucleus of reindeer herd was successfully transported recently by boat to St. Paul Island in the Prib- ilofs from Nunivak Island. Dale Belcher, assistant director of the Alaska Native Service native re- sources division, said today.
 The reindeer numbering 31 were transferred from the government owned herd under the jurisdiction of the native service on Nunivak to the Fish and Wildlife Service for the purpose of giving the na- ties on St. Paul another source of food supply.
 It was necessary to "hog-tie" each of the animals in transporting them in smaller boats to the FWS vessel Penguin II, for shipment to St. Paul, Belcher said The Pen- guin had to anchor off the island. Nunivak Island is just north of the mouth of the Kuskokwim River in the Bering Sea.

Garden Club Talk Tells Care Of Dah|ias, GIads

When do you dig dahlias and glads asked member of the Ju- neau Garden Club? And Mrs. Henry Green had the answer in her infor- native talk on the care and storage of dahlia tubers and glad corms given at the club meeting, Wednes- day, October 10. Mrs. Green also told little about planting and what fertilizers to use and insect pests and what to do for them.
 A bit of information Mrs. Green received from the Orin Hale's, of Seattle, publishers of Northwest Gardens, who recently visited Ju- eau, may prove a big help to all who own rhododendrons. The said that when the ground is frozen in early spring and the sun comes out and pulls the moisture out of the rhododendron leaves, leaving the plant no way to replenish this moisture, go out and water the leaves of the plant! So don't think Garden Club members crazy next March if you see them out watering the rhododendron leaves!
 Grass Planting
 The library committee brought up the question of planting the grounds with grass this late in the year and the club decided it would be money thrown away as the grass would not have a chance to become established before winter set in.
 This brought up the problem of keeping the traffic on the sidewalks and not all over the lot, so that when a lawn is planted it will have chance to grow. It was also point ed out that traffic over the bare ground should be discouraged as it would pack the soil and make it more difficult to work. Several sug- gestions were offered and work will proceed along those lines.
 The club wants to put in a lawn and landscape the grounds so that all may be proud of this community project. But it will take the cooper ation of all the town to make it a success, it is said.
 To Remove Annuals
 Mrs. William Hixson's Girl Scout Troop No. 12 offered to help remove the annuals from the Triangle Plot on 18th Street and their offer was gratefully accepted.
 Six beautiful dish garden arrange ments were shown featuring mosses, rocks, driftwood, native and figur- ines. Mrs. Ray Renshaw, Mrs. Will jam Hixson and Mrs. William Paul, Sr, were the artists.
 Before the meeting, held in the home of Mrs. E. E. Engstrom, a dessert luncheon was served with CO., hostesses Mrs. Earle Hunter and Mrs. Wm. Paul assisting.

GLASS IS SLATED TO REPLACE MANY METALS

TOLEDO, Ohio = R - Glass may be used to replace many metals which are being restricted for the current mobilization program, says Dr. George B. Watkins, director of research for Libbey- -Owens-Ford Glass Go.
 In World War II, glass was used successfully as substitute for aluminium. For example, the Fed eral Communications Commission used it as backing for records for it's recordings file. Glass evaporator plates in air conditioning equip ment replaced steel plates. One kind of glass today eliminates the need for. almost all metal framing and cross-pieces on store doors.

Charter Members Are Honored by Soropiimists

Founders Day at the Soroptimists luncheon Friday brought to the meeting a nearly full membership turnout and several former members of the club. Guests were Nancy Cameron. Bernice Morgan and Lil- lian Uggen, former members, Nor ma Weeks. Marjorie Morris, depart ment of public welfare and Mildred Sparks, grand president, Alaska Na- tive Sisterhood.
 Nine charter members of the Ju- neau Soroptimists, for their five years of continuous service to the club, were presented awards of meri- Norma Johnson, Jessie Stevens, Jessie McCrary, Edna Heaton Lo- men, Mildred Hermann, Mamie Jen- sen, Mernice Murphy, Laura Mac Milan and Dorothy Whitney were recipients of merit scrolls presented by President Gertrude Wetzel.
 Speaker of the day, Mrs. Helen Shenitz, assistant curator and lib- rarian at the Territorial Museum, was introduced by Ann DeLong, program chairman.
 A resident of Japan for seyer- al years following World War II, Mrs. Shenitz topic before the club of women was Women of Japan
 And women in Japan, the Sor- optimists learned are of Hess value than cattle" To treat women as equals, to invite them to be present at a banquet with men, is insulting to men, and this attitude is the same among all classes" Mrs. Shen- itz explained. ITO extend courtesy to women is degrading to a man"
 She doubted that Japanese women were as gentle, sweet or graceful as tradition has led the world to be- lieve. They are graceful in their native kimonas, but awkward in foreign garments and shoes. Since they have had to use cunning and shrewdness to fight the Japanese male, they are shrewd, cunning and smart, rather than sweet and gentle,' she remarked.
 Since the occupation of Japan by the United States Army, "the Ameri- cans have given the Japanese wo- men their freedom so subtly that it was accomplished before the men of the country realized it" the speaker declared. This freedom started by the organization of wo- mems clubs, asking Japanese women to attend meetings. Inside of a couple of years, the Japanese wo- men were forming clubs of their own"
 As an afterthought, Mrs. Shenitz mentioned the number of marriages between Japanese women and Am ericans. The men were not all GI's either. Officers, too. married Jap anese women. And the reason, I was told by men who had married Jap anese women is that mo women in the world treat man as well as do the women of Japan"
 Participation in the drive of joint service clubs to collect clothing for Korea was announced Warm, clean clothing will be collected to send to Korea by Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis and Soroptimist Clubs. The drive will continue for the next week.

If you must hang a wooden gar
ment up to dry, first pin it or
haste it to a turkish towel, and
hang the towel and all over the
line. Or, dry it indoors by spread
ing the towel on a clean window
screen and resting the screen be-
tween two chairs so that the air
can get at both top and bottom.

One of the best ways to keep a
clothesline clean is to take it in
doors when it's not being used,
and that's simple job if you
screw eyes into the posts and
fasten hooks on the ends of the
line. Mighty handy when a sudden
summer shower pops up and you
want to get the line indoors in a
hurry.

When your clothesline needs
washing, coil it around a wash
board or a piece of wood about
that size; stand it in a tub of hot
soapy water, and scrub it thor
oughly with a brush. To avoid
twisting and tangling, let it dry
right on the board, and put it up
again when it's completely dry.
