GI’s STATIONED IN
ALASKA WILL GET
XMAS GIFTS BY PLANE
There will be no empty stock
ings this Christmas for GIs sta
tioned in Alaska. A careful check
of mail call this year disclosed a
list of 200 names of American sol
diers stationed in Alaska who will
receive no other remembrance at
Christmas. To these men will go
15,000 pounds of Christmas gifts J
by Clipper Express.
The Seattle Civilian War Com
mission’s Victory Canteen has
launched it’s fifth annual Christ
mas drive to secure enough pres
ents to fill the 2000 stockings. The
2000 individually wrapped gifts
containing shoe kits and toilet
kits, books, games, canned foods,
cakes and a host of other items
collected from Seattle donors will
be valued at over $2.00 each.
To insure safe arrival in time
for distribution before the end of
the holiday season, Pan American
World Airways has offered to fly
all gifts collected by the Canteen
to Alaska free of charge. The
packages will be flown from Seat
tle to Ladd Field in Fairbanks,
Alaska, where they will be turned
over to the Army for individual
distribution.
Seattle Mayor William F. Devin,
chairman of the Civilian War
Commission, is directing the 5th
Annual drive toward the goal of
a happier Christmas for our sol
diers stationed in the far north by
insuring that each one is remem
bered by a gift.
The thigh bone is the longest
and strongest in the body.
