The United Fund plan has been used successfully in

enthusiastic organization to conduct it. Under the United
Fund plan all will be considered the basis of need
all will have the organization behind them.
There are however dangers in the concerted drive
Will the individual give to the extent in single drive
as he will when called upon at different times? Will there
be tendency to give less because will feel the total

THE CROW

MANY things can be said about
crows, and most of them have
been said with considerable emphasis.
When a man goes out and sees his
patch of starting sweet corn torn
up for the sprouted kernels, it does
rot promote peace of mind. Some
times Corus brachyrhynchos watches
from the woodland and almost as
soon as one has planted his corn,
the big black fellows fly down and
dig up the seeds. Forbush says, "The
crow knows a good thing when he
sees it. He seeks and finds for his
home land of plenty, where the
fruits of the earth are spread before
him. He seeks the bounty of the
fields
Contrary to popular opinion, he
is not black. Viewed i'm bright
sunlight the feathers have steel
blue, almost violet tinge. He is a
big fellow, often 20 inches long
with a wing spread up to 80
inches. The nest is a rough, bulky
affair, with six or eight blush
green eggs. Both male and fe-
males are attentive parents and
feed the young for a considerable
period after they seem fully
developed.
The chief trouble with crows is tina
they do considerable damage. The.
rob song birds nests of eggs ant
young and they wreak havoc in gar

Hopson Wins
 House Support for Village Armories

JUNEAU, LR - The command ing officer of Company D of the First Scout Battalion, Alaska Ma tional Guard, made his first speech in the Alaska House yes terday.
 It was a plea for passage of a memorial seeking construction of prefabricated armories for 51 viii lage units of the far north mili- tary units.
 The speech by the Barrow Dem ocrat, Rep. Eben Hopson, de scribed the scout battalions as "the eyes and ears of Alaska along the defense lines facing Soviet Russia"
 The scout batta1ions are com posed largely of Eskimo and h. dian natives. Hopson said units of his outfit are spread over 750 miles. They are very happy to perform their duties as Alaskan citizens of the far north
 Hopson said the scout battalion units in the villages need "a warm place to drill and train, and a safe place to keep their weapons. The memorial, speed fly approvd after HopSon's speech, requests the federal government to supply the armories at govern ment expense.
