Miss Hoi.and. Field Repre
sentative of the American Red
Cross, who is touring: Alaska,
paid an official visit to McCarthy
which is now the only chapter
in the Copper Rive valley, this
week. While here she drew
the attention of the chairman to
the distressing: conditio . of the
Copper River Indians, and sug
gested that this chipter send
them temporary lelief.
.
A meeting of the Executive
committee of the A R. 0. was
held at the Barrett resilience
last Wednesday evening
The chairman. .1 E Barrett.,
stared that the purpose of the
meeting was to provide funds
for the relief of the Copper riv
er Indians, who were in a desti
tute condition. On motion
made bv J. P Hu brick, second
ed bv Mrs. Barrett, the secre
tary was instructed to draw up
ou the treasurer the sum of $60
for present relief, said money to
be forwarded to Mr. Schwartz
Indian school teacher at Chitina,
motion carried and the meeting j
djourned.
As thpre is a large amount
still on hand in the treasury it(
is to be honed that further Mims
will be used along the same lines
as charity begins at home, espec- j
hilly when government appropi-J
ations are always lacking when
needed.
