uNCF. Distributes
$450,000 ToCoIIeges

NEW YORK, Nov. 81 - The
United Negro College Fund is
currently distributing $45O,OOO to
its member colleges for operating
expenses, it was announced today
by w. j. Trent, jr., executive di-
rector. The fourth distribution
made by the Fund this year, it
brings the total allocated to date
for. this purpose to ST., O66, 348. 90,
Mr.. Trent said.
Now in the final period of it's
18th annual nation wide cam
paign in support of 81 private, &C
credited colleges and universities,
the United. Negro College Fund
is seeking to raise $1,750,OO0 thus
year. The goal represents approx
imately ten percent of the COL
lege's combined educational bud
gets, and is the amount needed
to bridge the gap between income
from .endowments, tuition and
church board grants, and the &C
tual cost of operation.
The money will be used by the
Funds beneficiary institutions
for such yearly expenses as facul-
ty salaries, student scholarship
aid, library books, classroom and
laboratory equipment and student
health programs. Located in IL
southern states where 70 per cent
of college-age Negroes live, they
have combined student body of
nearly $4,000, or 80 per cent of
all Negroes enrolled in private
colleges.
In an effort to improve the
higher educational opportunities
of Negro youth, the United Negro
College Fund was founded in
1914. The first organization has
raised $14, 1863, 1925 to. date for
operating purposes and $14,187,-
256 for capital improvements.

BIGELOWS HIGH BIDDERS
 ON MITKOF ISLAND TIMBER

At opening of sealed bids in Ju- neal last Tuesday, the logging firm oI Blgelow and Slough, of Wran- gell was found to be the high bid der for 3,500,000 board feet of na- tional forest timber located ap- -proximately three miles south Of Pt. Frederick on Mitkof Island.
 The successful bidder has been tentatively awarded the sale, which award will become final upon the furnishing of satisfactory per- formance bond in the amount of $2.0O0 and the execution and ap- proval of the timber sale contract.
 The bid prices were $5.60 per thousand feet board measure for spruce and $2.00 per thousand feet board measure for hemlock and other species. The bid price for piling that may be cut from the area was SC per linear foot.
 The firm, at present composed of Joe and Bolliver Bigelow, has been logging national forest timber in the Wrangell area for several years. This is expected to bring the loggers into Petersburg more often as the sale area is closer to that city than to Wrangell

BIDWELLS ARE KIDS
 OF FLORIDA CONVENTION

That the George Bfdwells are enjoying life and missing no turns since they retired from Wrangell to San Diego few years ago is indicated in a letter received bv Mrs. Olive B. Johnson from them recently. The Bidwells- are former pioneer residents of Wrangell.
 Mrs. Bidwell first expresses shock and regret over the death of Julius Mason, who passed away a month ago as result of injuries received who he fell from a city light pole on which he was working as line man.
 She tells of visits with her daughter and husband. Col and Mrs. William Snodgrass who are stationed at a California army post where they were entertained with a cocktail party dinner and dance at the Officers Club and then says:
 We were five days at the con- vention in St. Petersburg (Fla.) The convention was a big success. There were 2000 delegates from all over the country. We stayed at the Sorens Hotel, headquarters of the convention. A very large hotel a block from the water where many pleasure boats were anchored. In the evening there was music in the lobby of t Il hotel, Gypsy band with spoons, pots and pans, washbCards and horns. They made plenty of noise but not very musi- cal. Wednesday night they had a big banquet and dance. After din- ner they called for all couples mar ried 50 years or longer. When they reached 61 we stood up and caused some excitement. We danced and had lots of fun. After that they called us the kids.
 Mrs. Bidwell finishes her letter by saying she and MT. BidweIl wanted to come to Wrangell this summer but other plans interfered.

trip to the neighbor island-Kauai, in particular. It would be fun to meet up with any Wrangellites who might come this way. The lat CT news came that Neil had been ill in Seattle so their Hawaiian trip had been cancelled.
 We have just purchased a new home an attractive little place that we enjoy very much. We moved in just a month and a half ago, so have lot to do in the line of planting, etc. but will take it all in stride.
 For those who ''knew me when three of our sons are living in Honolulu. Raymond has four boys; Billy and Jimmy are both married but have no children. Billy is in the Army inn he served in Germany for six years and brought back a lovely German bride. Our other son, Howard, passed through Homo lulu couple of months ago on his way to California after six months service in the Orient He is a Lieu tenant in the Naval Reserve.
 Bringing up some ancient his tory - the 1901 picture that was published about a year and half ago. Someone identified one of the little girls as Amanda Horghetm and one as Annabelle Frobese. It's nice to be remembered but I wasn't i'll that picture. I was a little one year-old baby in Minnesota at that time. Our family did not move to Wrangell until 1903 - believe in May - they used to tell me l had a birthday while we were tray cling. l wonder about Annabelle, too. 1 remember when she came to Wrangell to visit the Cases, al- though, of course, she could have been there when she was a smaller youngster. 1 remember her beauti- full voice.
 Now that the children have all grown up, l am back at work - very happy in my position as Sec retary at the Lihue Plantation Co.,. Ltd. Previous to this job, I was at the Red Cross office here. I have been with the Plantation for four years and there is a great deal of satisfaction in being able to handle

Although the present publishers of the paper never have. had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Westlake per sonally, it seems we should be acquainted as we have been sending her her paper every week, to Hawaii, since taking over the paper in 1939 We are sure all of Mrs. Westlake's old friends here will enjoy reading her letter and hearing about herself and family.
