Community Chest Mails Checks; Campaign Way Short

During the recent Community Chest board meeting it was de- cided to call a public meeting early in January for the purpose of a general discussion of each participating agency taking over their own fund raising activities.
 During the 1853 campaign. only S2.200 was raised in this area. This amount was Sl.800 short of the goal and consequently. al- locations to the participating agencies had to be cut.
 A percentage of the amount raised was allocated to the agen- cies in the following amounts: Palmer Library, S230; Girl Scouts S230; Alaska Crippled Children Association, S230 and Matanuska Valley Health Center, $1,510. Ed Smith, president of the Commun- ity Chest said checks in these amounts were mailed to the ag- encies this week.
 Representatives of Valley or ganizations and agencies are in- vited to plan to attend the pub lie meeting. The exact date will be announced soon.

SEARCH FOR HIDDEN TREASURE IN SPRING

Digging for buried treasure in the Big Lake area will be continued this Spring when the ground is softer than now.

A map, indicating hiding place was drawn on the skin and the following wording: Who ever finds this map has the key to my wealth.. The dis covery was reported to U. S. Commissioner May Carter at Wasilla and in the event that at sometime in the past Grun- waldt had buried something of value possibly will, search party was organized but an attempt to dig in the indicated area proved impossible be- cause of frost penetration.
 The map is being held by Commissioner Carter and an- other attempt to determine it's authenticity will be made in the Spring.

a sordid, civil strife, augmented
by human beings suffering bond
age, and the secession of states,
with unwavering belief that
Slavery was unconstitutional. He
was elected again; an assassin's

of our greatest Americans, he
claimed before death, "YOU CAN
FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE
SOME OF THE TIME, BUT YOU
CAN'T FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE

Last of our February-born
gre e a t Americans, Frederick
Douglass, Abolitionist, also born
in bondage, a giant in stature
and manhood. In youth, he never
backtracked on the inhumanity
Of slavery. The masters lash
was incessantly pounded on his
black back because he decried
serfdom of himself and his peo-
pie. The underground Railroad
opened for his escape to freedom.
Bloodhounds searched in vain for
the path that Douglass trod' from
that notorious Maryland slave
stockade. He started his glorious
abolitionist career in New Bed
ford, Mass. He made a circuit
of all the free states. Abraham
Lincoln was his mentor and he
was Abe's. After peace was de-
clared at Appomattox Court
House, which ended the Civil
War, Douglass had attained a
leadership of respect from all the
American people. He afterwards
became a diplomat and high
positioned public servant of the
nation He travelled the world
on well financed lecture tours.
He raised a large family from
his first marriage. "He welded
from choice" he stated, "and not
from race" in his second mar
riage. This incident (his second
marriage), of his great career
was the only diScordant note and
not enough to blemish any part
of life devoted absolutely
against bondage of dark Ameri-
cans.
