New Electric Supply For Farms
SIOUX CITY, IA .— A new four-bladed, wind-driven generator for
^2-volt farm lighting systems that will charge batteries in winds as
low as five miles per hour makes possible a new electric supply for the
one million farms beyond reach of power lines. Blades are air foils
that are pulled around by the wind instead of being pushed as with
the conventional pressure type used on standard wind mills. This
Wincharger is equipped with an automatic governor which feathers
two blades to prevent excessive charging rate during high winds. The
unit when used with proper type of storage battery will provide 100
kilowatt hours of dependable power per month This is enough to
operate an electric refrigerator, a water system, radio, vacuum cleaner,
washing machine ar iron, and provide power for cream separator,
milking machine, illuminated chicken house and light-type pig brooder.
The average electric consumption of electrified farm's in the United
States is i 1 kilowatt hours month

Seattle To Help
• Santa To Bring
Alaskan
Children
SEATTLE — Santa will come
from Seattle instead of the North
Pole this year for thousands of
Alaska children who are faced
with a bleak Christmas due to the
maritime tie-up. Seattle civic or
ganizations have laid plans to fly
four tons of Christmas presents to
Alaska children who otherwise
would receive few gifts this year.
Heading the movement is L. J.
Dowell, public relations counselor
for Pan American World Airways,
who is working with the Seattle
Nile Temple and Shrine clubs in
Alaska, and Seattle business men
interested in Alaska welfare.
Close to 5000 Christmas pack
ages containing balloons, candy,
nuts, cookies, oranges and apples
will be distributed to Alaska chil
dren from Ketchikan to Nome.
Dowell said Pan American
World Airways received permis
sion today from the civil aeronau
tics board in Washington, D. C., to
carry the four planeloads of gifts
free of charge.
Shriners in each of the Alaska
cities have volunteered to assist in
distribution and parties are being
planned by them or jointly \tith
other local organizations for the
children in their community.
Shriners will also play Santa to
outlying districts.
The Nome Shrine club is making
arrangements to handle the local
distribution in connection with
the Community Christmas Tree
committee, and getting the pack
ages to outlying communities via
the Munz Air Service, Wien Alas-'
ka Airlines and the Alaska Air
lines.
O. S. Weaver, potentate repre
sentative of Nile Temple for the
Nome Shrine club said “The ^lorne
Shrine Club is making the neces
sary arangements to have the
Christmas packages distributed to
Alaskan children and will share
in the expense of the project.”
He stated, “Some of the ‘prior
ity’ packages are scheduled to ar
rive on the plane tonight.”
, Gifts will be flown by PAA to
the main cities of Ketchikan, Jun
I eau, Whitehorse, Fairbanks and
I Nome. Pacific Northern Airlines
will fly the Anchorage allotment
| from Juneau.
Many of the children in Alaska
would have a bleak Christmas this
year if Seattle had not volunteered
to play Santa. Dowell said, “Christ-1
mas relief supplies may not reach
many of the cities until after the
holidays.”
The Christmas packages were;
; made possible through the support
I of Glenn Carrington Company,
’ Northern Commercial Company,
1 Rogge Commission Company,
: Standard Oil and Shrine clubs,
i Women volunteers from the Seat
j tie Daughters of Niie or Order of
Eastern Star are arranging for
stuffing of the packages.
Guns Fired Food
It’s hard to stump soldiers of the
U. S. Regular Army. When a group
' of the 141st Infantry was cut off at
\ La Houssiere, France, with food
[! exhausted and “ceiling zero”

' needs and D-rations were put in
[ empty propaganda pamphlet shells
* and fired accurately from 105 and

PAA EMPLOYEES
TO DONATE BLOOD
Alaska children brought to Seat
tle for medical treatment will re
ceive blood donated by Pan Amer
ican World Airways employees,
Regina Mendel, medical social
consultant for the Territorial
Health department, said today.
A campaign was begun this
week for groups to donate blood
Monday and Thursday evenings
at the King County Blood Bank
at Terry and Madison, for the
Alaska Health department’s crip
pled children being treated at
Swedish hospital in Seattle.
“As many as twenty pints of
blood have been borrowed from
the central bank for one Juneau
boy, now undergoing surgery,”
Miss Mendel said. “Pan American
i employees will help ns refill the
bank.”
The Alaska Clippers of Pan
American average six mercy
flights a month, carrying emer

tients to medical care in Seattle.
Approximately 111 children in
Alaska are waiting hospital space
at Swedish, Miss Mendel said.

the crippled children from Alaska

ones, up to 14 years of age, wait
ing admission at the Seattle Chil
dren’s Orthopedic hospital.
