CO-OP NOTES
Employment
Several of the employees of the various
activities in the Civic Center have
inquired regarding their jobs after the
Cooperating Association assumes control.
To make this clear, I wish to say that
it is the intention of the Board of
Directors and myself to make no changes
in personnel as long as the job is
justified and the one holding the job is
making an honest effort to put in a day's
work.
We do not intend, at any time, to toler
ate shirking of responsibility regardless
of what the job might be. However,
every effort will be made to cooperate
with the employees.

Christmas Decorations
Those in the Civic Center have been
mailed letters asking them to cooperate
in decorating the Civic Center for Xmas.
The Corporation is granting a reduction
on the light bills of all those who enter
the contest for the best decorated house
or yard.
Get your outside decorations up early
and let’s make the Civic Center the
prettiest spot in Alaska.

Days
We have had so many Board meetings
lately and so much has taken place, I
guess we will have to wait until the
Membership Meeting to report in full.
We have been working every night for
the past ten days and there is more
coming. It is quite an effort for
your Directors to do their farm work and
still devote so much time to the business
of the Association and I am sure you
Members appreciate what they are doing.
Last night we had a meeting after the
show that lasted until midnight.

CHRISTMAS SEALS
■C.
Artist and Design
Rockwell Kent, American artist, writer
and lecturer, is the designer of the
Christmas Seal which is now on sale here
as part of the thirty-third annual drive
against tuberculosis.
| Palmer's consignment of seals has already
arrived and an army of volunteer workers
has sorted out sheets which have been
mailed to local residents, according to
Mrs. Sheely, chairman of the committee
in charge,
"'Protect Your Home From Tuberculosis'
is the theme of this year's campaign,"
said Mrs. Sheely. "As a symbol of that
protection, Mr. Kent has used an angel
with outstretched arm. Against a
brilliant blue background, the double
barred cross, international symbol of
the fight against tuberculosis, is
prominently displayed."
Rockwell Kent was born in Tarrytown
Heights, N.Y., in 1888, and has lived
in Newfoundland, in Greenland and in
Alaska, Many of his pictures portray
aspects of life among the Eskimos and
the northern Indians, As a side-line
he raises purebred Jersey cattle and
Great Dane dogs at his farm in upper
New York State,
