POOL AGREEMENT;
WILL ME HALF
Ice pool . pposition, wnich threat
ened for a time to disrupt the plans
of the local Board of Charities, has
been satisfactorily disposed of, the
board having: made arrangements
which insure the retention of half
the receipts of all pools for use in
local charity and relief work. The
board has taken over the Macauley
pool, which was to have been start
ed yesterday, and local businessmen
have agreed that any pools started
by them will be divided equally be
tween the winners and the Board
of Charities.
The following statement, issued
by the Board of Charities, covers
the situation fully:
The Board of Associated Charities
wishes to announce that they have
agreed upon the plan of the equal
division of the moneys from all ice
pools collected in the stores and
pool rooms of Nenana, the winners
taking half and the board half of
all pools. The leading pool rooms
in Xenana have agreed to this ar
rangement, and while the stores,
pool ooms and others so inclined
may arrange for any kind of pool
or number guessing contests for the
time of the ice going out. the
beard will issue the tickets for the
big ice pool.
These tickets will be provide 1 by
the secretary-treasurer of the board,
R. I. Waechter, to anybody willing
to dispose of them. He can oe
reached by phone and will distribufe
tickets wherever desired.
In addition to this, the boa'd will
issue annual sustaining membership
cards at one dollar each, which in
novation will give everybody so in
clined or interested an opportunity
to assist in an organized and sys
tematic control of all relief and
charity work rendered necessary ;n
the di-trict.
In ,c: d.r further to explain the
object and attitude of this board
to the public at large and to those
who, in the past, so generously gave
coniriputed to all relief work, we
take this opportunity briefly to out
line the object and plan of our
v.crk.
The board was created about a
year ago, by all the organized
bodies in Xenana electing or ap
pointing one representative each, in
order to insure the public against
all unworthy and indiscriminate
solicitation of funds, which in mam'
instances during the year previous
to the creation of this board, was
imposed upon the businessmen and
public at large. Hence the object
of the board is
To create and maintain a general
relief fund.
To investigate all eases caused by
sickness and financial distress, when
relief is asked and, if justified, to
render relief to such extent as the
board deems necessary, and in pro
portion to the funds available.
And further to investigate all
cases where calls on the public are
issued outside of the board, in the
form of subscriptions, raffles, etc.,
and if considered necessary and jus
tified, affix their approval of such
calls, signed by the president and
secretary-treasurer; provided, how
ever, that this board reserves the
right to collect and distribute all
funds so contributed. It is under
stood, however, that this board does
not propose to interfere with any
; relief work carried on within and
among the members of any organ
ized body in Xenana, nor any pri
vate effort among personal friends
to render relief to those who may
j not wish to become dependent upon
jthe public at large.
Respectfully,
| Board of Associated Charities,
RALPH I. WAECHTER,
Secretary-Treasurer.
J. A. SLIPPERX,
Chairman.

Tight skirts worn by women pass
engers have upset schedules on the
railroads, says a report from Phila
delphia.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, with
scientific accuracy, has found that
since women have begun wearing
tight skirts the average stopping
time of a train at a station is now’
seventeen seconds longer than it was
when the skirts were short and
roomy around the bottom.
In reply to a complaint of the
South Jersey Commuters Associa
tion that trains were not run on
time the management gave this in
formation and stated that unless
styles in skirts change very soon
the running time of local trains
must be lengthened.
Karstens’ auto left Fairbanks this
morning with some first class mail
and Harley Rutherford and P. S.
Daniels as passengers for Nenana.
The auto arrived this afternoon.
