A recent bake sale held by
members of the Kotzebue Alaska
Crippled Children Association,
was a sell-out in less than an
hour after the doors were opened.
Since the organization of this
j chapter in mid-June, Kotzebue
residents have shown amazing
support to this first local civic
i enterprise. The only handicap in
the activities of the group is in
adequate space in which to have
entertainment or hold sales. It is
hoped this problem may be solved
some time during the coming win
I ter by the acquisition of a build
ing which will be large enough to
| accommodate large local gather
ings.
Alimony: giving comfort to the
enemy.

Korean Silualion
U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD
QUARTERS, Korea, (JP)—A North
Korean battalion was slashed by
Allied artillery late Monday after
failing to gain in a series of wild
counteratttacks on the east-central
front.
The Allies have dubbed the lo
cation north of Yanggu “heart
break ridge” because of the many
attacks and counterattacks there.
As the Reds fell back down a
trail toward the southwest, they
came under heavy artillery fire.
An Allied officer said results were
“excellent.” It was not known
how many, if any, of the enemy
escaped.
Cold rains sweeping across the
peninsula brought Allied air at
tacks to a virtual standstill.
The Red counterattacks in the
east began in the light of a nearly
full moon.
None but the brave desert the
fair.
