YOUR CHRISTMAS GIFT 1
We usualy think of Christmas as a time for toys and joys, but it is also well to think of the days and years
that follow. With that in view we again wish to call attention to the value of a
saving book as a Christmas present.
For the old folks a savings book may spell greater contentment and more comfort than any other gift. For the bov and irirl a sav
ing book may be the foundation of future success, not on account of the intrinsic value of the gift, but on account
of the habit of thrift which it will devlop, a habit which will be of lasting benefit.

A cable received today from Cam
paign Manager Davies from Seattle
J says that indications are that Alaska
I will lead the NATION in the percent
age of membership per capita.
Another cable says that it Is the
membership they seek rather than
the amount of contribution from each
member.
Mr. R. W. Baxter of the Alaska
Steamship Co. has allotted $50 to
the Cordova chapter and the locali
committee are considering applying;
this toward securing membership for
Cordova children.
The committeemen have been in
structed to urge those they solicit to
take membership for children of each
home. The membership banner that
will be given each house where a
member exists, Is entitled to an extra
cross for each additional member. If
parents feel financially unable to take j
out a dollar membership for the child,
the committee will supply 50c of the
amount or if necessary, they will pay
the entire amount. What is wanted
is that every child be enrolled as
well as every adult, and' money shalT
not stand lii the wa^r
We who stay at homo will do little
enough if we fry to supply our fight
ers with the aids they need. Without
care our armies would be helpless and
you yourself would be hastened to fill
up the ranks.
A Cordova lady, who desires her
name withheld, has given the Cordova
It. C. Chapter a beautiful table spread
which represents weeks of intensive
work. It is the most valuable contri
bution of this kind which has been
made to this capter and it will be dis
posed of in the near future when a
way is selected by which it value may
be realized. AND STILL THE GOOD
WORK GOES ON.

Mr. Rrown who has the Wharf dis
trict and reported that out of a poss
ible 41 members there he had signed
up 40. says that he believes that his
percentage will be equaled or surpass
ed by every committeeman. He still
expects to get that last one if he can
see him.
The proprietors of Cordova hotels
are acting as committeemen to can
vas non-residents as they pass
through.
The most popular cmembership
seems t6 be the $5 one although there
are som eat less and some costing
more. The $2 membership includes
j the It. C. 1948 monthly magazine.
