NOW IS TIME FOR
PLANTING BULBS,
SAYS GARDEN CLUB
Now is the time to start gladio- -
lus and dahlia bulbs for early blos
soms, according to the Timelj
Garden Hint of the month given by
Mrs, Harry Stonehouse at the
meeting of the Juneau Garden Club
Wednesday afternoon. She sugges
ted using tin cans with the tops
and bottoms removed for the in
dividual gladiolus corms, so that
they may be transplanted to thf
outdoor garden with less root dis
turbance than when the bulbs art
started in flats.
Gardeners we. e urged to keep
records of the dates of seeding anc
flowering of the various plant;
and shrubs in their gardens thi;
year. The data secured will be com
piled into a Juneau Garden Calen
dar to be used in the book project
that the Club has undertaken.
Plans were started for the salt
of garden plants in the latter pari
of May. It was suggested that mem
bers state at the next meeting
what kinds they are interested in
buying so ‘ that donors of plant.'
may know what kinds will be in
demand. Mesdames Renshaw, Day
Carroll, Green, Hixson and Stone
house will serve on this committee
It was voted to send a letter to
the City Council urging that the
Library be kept open in some suit
able place until the Library build
ing is available.
The talk to be given by E. L
Keithahn on the natural foods in
Alaska that will aid in survival
in case of emergency was postponed
until the May meeting at the re
quest of the Club since it was felt
that a larger number of members
would be able to be present at that
time. A general discussion of vege

RED CROSS DRIVE
FOR FUNDS FALLS
SHORT OF GOAL
The 1951 Red Cross Fund to dale
stands far under the amount need
ed for the current years’ operating
budget as adopted by the Juneau
Chapter. Until now $4075.51 has
been collected by all the solicitors.
The minimum operating budget for
the year had been set at $9871.00.
This was the amount needed to
carry on the program for Red Cross
activities in Juneau. Over $7,000
was to be left in Juneau and the
balance was to go into the National
Headquarters for emergency work
on r. National level.
Rjv. Fred McGinnis, the 1951
Chairman stated: “Nearly every
thing the Red Cross is doing falls
into three major categories: Ser
vices to the Armed Forces. Civil
Defense training, and blood for
both the Armed Forces an.i Civil
Defense. It was on the basis of
those services, as well as the Home
Services rendered locally, that the
figure of $9871 was arrived at for
this year’s operation.
The amount collected to date
represents much hard work on the
part of many captains and solici
tors. The Juneau office of the Red
Cross wishes to express its grati
tude for the interest shown and
the many hours spent by these vol
unteer workers.
Several factors have entered into
the situation contributing to the
failure to make this year’s quota.
The local Red Cross office feels
that the following factors have
been influential:
1. Severe weather the first two
weeks of March making it diffi
cult for the captains and solicitors
to start on schedule thereby making
it the middle of March before the
drive actually got well underway.
2. The possibility of new and
higher taxes as a shadow over the
public; this was true for the Terri
torial legislative sessions as well
as the national.
3. The multiplicity of appeals for
funds through many organizations.
4. Higher cost of living over last
year generally.
5. The possibility of some pos
sible contributors being missed be
cause of much activity in the Ju
neau area.
This appeal comes from the Red
Cross Headquarters in Juneau: if
you dill not have an opportunity to
contribute to this necessary and
worthy organization, you may do
so by enclosing your check in an,
envelope and mailing to American
Red Cross, Box 231. Juneau, Alaska.
You will help immeasurably by so
doing. Each gift will be receipted
and acknowledged.
"4 FACES WEST"
FEATURE TONIGHT
AT 20THJENTURY
An exciting film, "Four Faces
West,” bowed in at the 20J.h Cen
tury Theatre last night and gave a
thrilled audience a glimpse of New
Mexico in the 1880s, when men of
daring played dangerously with law
and order. The film co-stars Joel
McCrea. Frances Dee and Charles
Bickford. It is a United Artists
release.
The action of the story is fast
paced, with plenty of hard riding
through some of the most dn^ger
our natural country ever filmed,
and the scenes in which McCrea
lassos and breaks a steer, then rides
off on It into the desert to elude a
posse hot on his trail, Is one of the
most amazing bits of dramas ever \
caught in a Western.
The climax, as unexpected as it
is heart-catching, is one not easily
forgotten. The capable direction was
in the hands of Alfred E. Green, |
best remembered for l^s "The Jol- j
son Story.”
