 at such an hour that I could not
 reach any one by phone.
 In the States, 1 was the guest
 of several Alaska members who
 now live there, including Past
 National Chaplain, Ethyl West
 and Past Department President,
 Laura Johnson, both in Seattle.
 Two of the National Convention
 Delegates for Alaska, who live
 in Los Angeles and San Berna-
 dino, Winnie Daniels, Ketchikan
 member and Elizabeth Hamilton
 of the Fairbanks Unit, entertain
 ed me at the close of the Con-
 vention. And when 1 returned from the Conference, Amy Swan
 son and Agnes Beck, two Past
 Unit Presidents of my own Unit,
 accompanied me on visit to
 the Auxiliary Gift Shop at the Portlan d Veterans Hospital, when they were completing pre- parations for the Christmas shopping for the veterans hospitalized there. We were wei comed most cordially and this free gift service explained by the women of the Portland Units who gave their time for that cause. As we left, we were in vited to their Open House" to be held the following Sunday, which I was not able to attend to my regret, for l had to re- turn to Alaska in time for Christmas.
 While waiting between the National Convention and the Presidents and Secretaries Con- ference, I was guest at the Unit at Everett, Washington, where my late mother and I had been Charter members. 1 also had the privilege of attending a large County meeting in Pocahontas, Iowa, near where my brothers wife and three nieces belong to a Unit. These meetings are for the instruction of Unit officers and chairmen, so learned much of value and heard a good re- port of the National Convention from their District President, and was invited to talk on Aux Hilary work in Alaska.
 I visited the City of Washing ton D. C. long enough to spend considerable time at some Of it's shrines, the Capitol, and Stu preme Court Building Thanks giving Day was observed at Church Services and historic spots near by, including the Great Falls of the Potomac. For eign Relations being stressed in our program, 1 looked up the Washington D. C. branch offices of the United Nations in order to secure official information and literature for Unit Study and to complete the present De- partment files on the subject, The Secretary or Information was interested and helpful, giV- ing considerable time to pick a wide selection of material f0r me to take to Alaska, anu con tributing a quantity Of booklets that were scarce and which there is a charge for normally. At later date our Department was remembered and honored with a few complimentary copies of one booklet that was out of stock, then. This Secretary also made long distance calls to find out if the Lake Success meet ings would be held Thanksgiv- ing week end, and tried to se- cure reservations for me for the hearing when the Chinese Reds were in Conference, for only a few hundred phones are available and thousands would wish to attend the sessions. But a great storm disrupted all traf- fife and business in New York area, so the meetings were post poned, so 1 was not able to at

 as Suggesed by he Naional Mem

 A monthly column was writ
 ten for the Alaska Legionnaire,
 the activity of the month used as the main theme. The National Convention and Presidents and Secretaries Conference were al so reported; as were the high
 lights of the visit to HaineS, Hoonah, and Auke Bay, where Legion Posts are sponsoring Units.
 When it was evident that the Posts that were organizing Units were meeting delays that were holding up completion of their earlier plans, 1 set out to visit those in southeastern Alaska to offer assistance. At Haines, l found MT Ross l. Hevel, the Ad- jutant of Lynn Canal Post No. 12 most cooperative and meet ing was called at which their temporary Unit was established, with Mary Hevel as President. Their Charter applications were accepted and their Charter has been received from National and Department Headquarters, dated August 3, which enables them to elect delegates and partlcl- pate in this years Convention.
 My call at Hoonah found a temporary Unit organized, with Edith Bean, their President. However they will be unable to proceed, until Fall, s-nce the Commander and Adjutant are away on the 4.Shil5 gIud1ds, and their signatures are need ed on the applications. Their Commander, Mir Sarabia, re quested assistance and materials for organizing of the Depart ment Adjutant then in o1iica ln midJanuary, but word did not reach Auxiliary Headquarters until mid-March, and by the time materials were sent their men had gone fishing. The act ing Prs sident expressed doubts tat al Of the women would still be interested after the long delay.
 Commander Cantillon and his wife, of Auke Bay, invited me to their Post picnic, where a meeting was held to decide whether a Unit was desirsd and all voted in favor of organizing. Later a temporary Unit was or ganized, which is meeting regu- larly, out it is not known yet whether there are enough NEW to make up the or ganiZing ten, necessary to form a permanent Unit by signing the Charter Application. MT. Can tillon, the Commander, has giv- en much time and effort to the work of organizing this Unit and it is hoped that his efforts bear fruit at an early date.
 While north, 1 took time to drop in on the two year old Unit of SkagWay, ten minutes away by air. There I was graciously received by the Unit President, Helen Clark, and other Unit Of ficers. And was driven on a sightseeing tour, while Unit problems were discussed.
 Stopping at Juneau, between other points, had the privilege Ot being present when the love ly Memorial Wreaths and sprays were made out of leftover pop pies by the Unit members, and of attending the beautifully i'm DrpSSiyP Memorial Day coropcp-

COnSlder3Dle lIllc, to DISCUSS
 pro olems and show me the guar
 t;rs. (At Haines, Mrs. Hevel took
 me through Haines House, a
 denominations institution that
 cares for many children, under excellent conditions, also) At
 both institutions staff members
 were cordial and, during the in- tervieW, pointed out projects that
 could be undertaken by such groups as ours, that would do the most good on behalf of these children.
 Unit Presidents and other of ficerS of nearby Units, have graciously invited me to visit their communities, but I refrain ed from doing so except in the instances cited, since 1 could not visit at all, being obliged to meet expenses personally; for I did not wish to show partiality. 1 sincerely appreciate their kind invitations and hope to be able to visit these places and revisit the others, to renew friendships, when my time is my own.
 It would be a pleasure to tell of the splendid achievements of the Committees and Units in the past year; but that is the privi- lege of the Department Chair men who have work so faith fully to accomplish the results in membership and service which you shall hear reported.
 At the beginning of the year we lost the Unit at Adak, one of the smallest but most active, because changes in personnel caused these women to move elsewhere They are to be prais- ed for the service they rendered during the short time they were organized. We may be sure they are active in other Units in their new homes.
 However, as the Auxiliary year ends, we gained Unit, when Lynn Canal Unit No. 12, at Haines, with its twelve mem b1rs, received it's Charter. Their numbers and desire to associate -...tn us will give us added strength to contribute to the Work Of the Legion and for serV- ice. I sincerely welcome them into the Department of Alaska.
 This brings our membership percentage to over 97, with more to be added You will hear the exact figures from the Secretary and Membership Chairman. At the Conference in Indianapolis, l was challenged by Hawaii and Delaware for the highest per centage in the National Head quarters by March 15 and June 1, respectively. We won over Hawaii, but lost to Delaware, the latest reports show that we now have topped thlm. Nearly half of the Units have reached 100 per cent O. their quota; several have gone higher, Palmer, which took the Membership Award from National. Congratulations to their Matanuska Valley Unit No. Is! And also to Jack Henry No. 1, Anchorage; Seward No. 5; Cordova's John w. Jones No. 8; Kodiak No. IT; and Petersburg, No. fl! I was informed that Ju- neau No. 4, was 100 per cent, but my records do not give it. Congratulations to the Depart ment and Unit Membership Chairmen for your fine record achieved in difficult year!
 It is with sorrow that I record the death of one of our Unit Presidents, Thelma Smih, of Val dez. My sincere sympathy to her family and Unit members on .heir sudden loss.
 And now, as we near our years end, wish to express my sincere appreciation to the De

IF you're wondering lust how

walk through it-and every so Of

can go without running into some

full-length without hitting thistles
or some other undesirable plant"
The test is good, said Young.

to have to eat those weeds. Weeds
are money-losers in pastures as
