Of BUSY TIMES
IN Sill CITY
Nenanaites On Their Way to Join
Uncle Sam's Army Foregather
In Seattle.
Writing to friends in N'enana,
Walter Hollerbach (Drag.1 .as the
following to say regarding conditions
in the States and the boys of N'e
nana, whom he met in Seattle:
Seattle Wash, July 22, 1:113
“Bishop & Hoey Corporation,
“Nenana, Alaska.
“My Dear Friends:—After me
week's return to the States -.d : ct
ting reacquainted wuh the town , rd
its suroundings, I am very glad to
be Outside, and I believe a v
one else would be too.
“The people and government are I
realizing the big mistake made by
underestimating the strength of the
enemy and things are going to be:
carried on from now on with the1
full realization that to win we mu?* i
do our very best all the time ar.d '
furthermore, the present administra
tion has the full confidence of t'.ei
working man, and the unions arc
progressing and are building stronger '
every day. One cannot even apply
for a job at the shipyards, every-!
thing is handled through the union ^
and its business agent, even to tne ‘
placing of the foreman.
I tried to enlist m tho aviation I
and the heavy artillery, but hi ve,
been rejected for the same -ason as
before. Have had vral cnances!
to go to work for $7.20 per day,!
and expect to start to orK some-1
time next week.
"Saw Earl Welliver Camp
Lewis; his father is captain in 1 _*
instruction department. Earl left :
for Hamiliton to go into some mili-!
tary school and later try for a com
mission.
“Eddie Mc’Innes is with his mother
it the new Richmond hotel, trying
to locate Frank Rotch. Eddie is
(porting a new Dodge car and looks
prosperous and is making the same'
lit as he did in *Nenana.
Fritz Gamble is stopping at the;
Butler with me and we are doing
he cabarets every night .after we
tet home from other engagements,
vhich usually start about one o’clock
ind last—well I do not want to put
Jamble in wrong. Had Jack Me-'
Jovern out with us the other night i
>nd he with Howard Curtis are regu- i
ar fellows when they get started, |
nueh to mj^surprise and according
0 all the rules I did not think
uch conduct possible on their part,
ind I do not like to talk about,’
mybody. !
Mack M. Smith surprised me
"th a friendly jolt ( he meant to j
ie friendly I think) (?) 0n the1
houlder; he leaves for the Sunny j
South in a few days. He also is i
poking fine, and no doubt will make 1
he examination, which is much
arder than I ever expected, yet the
ien are plentiful and the boys are J
rested wonderfully by everyone.
lt every party one goes to there’
; always a bunch of soldiers and!
ailors and they are given the pref
rence. I am going to get me a
ildier suit if I expect to ever make
ny impression in the society game.
“With my very best regards to alii
i.v friends and best wishes for your i
Jntinued success and health, I am,
“Yours very truly,
“WALTER M. HOLLERBACH.”

CALL IS ISSUED

Young Women Are Requested to i
Enroll In the United State*
Student Nur*e Reserve.
On the last mail the Xenana News
received a communication from the
headquarters of the Council of Na-1
tional Defense regarding the enrol- j
ment of the young women of Ameri- j
ca in the United States Student
Nurse Reserve. The enrolment be
gan in the United States on July
29th.
The letter in part, says: “Be
cause the nation’s reserve has been
depleted by the calling of literally i
thousands of graduate nurses for I
service in military and naval hospi
tals, it is absolutely necessary im
mediately to call 25 000 student
nurses for training in American .
hospitals.
Information regarding the service I
may be obtained at the News office
The call issued now is for 25,000
women between the ages of nine
teen and thirty-five.
Mrs. M. J. Cooney, who is at the
head of the Nenana branch of the
women’s committee. Council of Na
tional Defense, has not received any
instructions yet regarding the en
rolment of young women in Alaska,
but is willing to take the names of ■
those desiring to join the service
for future action.
It is possible that the first call for
25,000 student nurses will be easily j
filled in the States, and that the
young women of the Northland will
be given an opportunity to answer
the Government’s call in the near
future.
Joe Green, formerly of Ruby,has!^
