Soldatna
Gives $278
To Cancer
Soldatna chalked up the best
report in the recent cancer drive
that has been made in any of the
five years that such a campaign
ha* been conducted in this area,
-Mrs. Edwin A. (Sally) Thomp
son, chairman, has been informed
in a letter received from A. H.
Schutte, executive director of the
Alaska Branch of the Cancer

local solicitors. It was all collect
ed within Ridgeway and the city

ception of one container at Moose
River Bai at Sterling. The small
bank left at the Sterling post
office was robbed of its contents,

in the local drive were Mrs. Bur
ton Carver, iMrs. Ted Grainge,
Mrs. Lois Mickelson, Mrs. Ra
mona Biennen, Mrs. Jack Farns
worth, Mrs. Stan McLane and
Mrs. Leo Obert.
Mrs. Thompson has been re

posed that a definite organiza
tion be established in Soldatna.
