LEGION AUXILIARY
Interested women of the Ma
tanuska Valley are reminded
that membership time in the Am
erican Legion Auxiliary is here
again. September ushers in a new
year for renewing the many
works of the Auxiliary. At the

was noted that more aid had
been given to Child Welfare and
Rehabilitation than ever before.
Most of this is done, it was point
ed out, by the continued mem
bership of the Unit members.
Department President Izola
Sims hopes for an early renewal
of all memberships and has of
fered several cash prizes to those
Units reaching quota before No
vember 10, 1955. This date is the
