Red Cross Working
On Civil Defense
Program Expansion
Under the impact of war in Kor
ea and the mushrooming civil de
fense at home, the American Red
Cross today is embarked on what
may be the greatest work in its
69-year-old history.
Three months after tne outbreak
of the Korean fighting, the Red
Cross already had three major
programs for civilian defense well
under way. And plans call for
further fast expansion. Acting on
special requests from the Depart
ment of Defense and the National
Security Resources Board, the Red
Cross is giving top priority to:
1. Taking a leading part in train
ing 20,000,000 persons in first aid,
including treatment of atom bomb
attack injuries.
2. Training 250,000 nurse's aides
and hundreds of thousands of
housewives in home nursing to help
meet the critical shortage of pro
fessional nurses which would prob
ably occur in event of a national
emergency.
3. Developing plans to assist civil
defense authorities in the provision
of lood, clothing and shelter dur
ing an emergency period.
On August 30, W. Stuart Syming
ton, chairman of the National Sec
urity Resources Board, wrote to
Gen. George C. Marshall, Red Cross
president, asking the Red Cross to
“accept the responsibility of co
ordinating a nation-wide civil de
fense blood program for recruit
ment of donors and collecting, stor
ing, processing and preparing for
shipment of blood and blood de
rivatives.” Seven days later Gen.
Marshall, on behalf of the Red
Cross, accepted the task.
The method of financing this
gigantic program, the amount of
blood to be collected monthly for
civil defense needs, and the ulti
mate civil defense stockpile re
quirements are now being thrashed
out by Red Cross and NSRB offic
ials in Washington, D. C.
Hurry.up Training
The hurry-up training millions of
Americans in first aid is one of the
most staggering jobs faced by the
Red Cross in its current expansion
to meet civil defense and military
needs.
At government request the Red
Cross has undertaken the task of
providing the nation with a trained
lirst aid force of 20.000.000. That’s
almost one out of every seven
people in the country.
Meantime, the Red Cross is push
ing expansion of its first aid pro
grams as fast as passible. Nearly
completed is a supplement to the
organization’s first aid training
textbook. The additional material
deals with treatment of atomic
bomb injuries and is expected to
be issued in the near future.
All Red Cross chapters have been
notified to step up first aid trainee
recruitment and classwork activities
to the limit.
1 b. Red Cross has another tower
ing target in the nursing field. At
least 100,000 women are to be
trained from scratch as nurse’s
aides in the coming year. Another
150,00, previously trained, will be
given refresher courses. The full
course for beginners is 80 hours.
The refresher courses will last
from 4 to 27 or more hours, de
pending upon the nature of pre
vious experience and the length of
time that has elapsed since the
last assignment.
Atomic llomb Attack
If this country were subjected to
atomic bomb attack, one of the
immediate major problems would
be the care of those whose homes
were destroyed. The disaster serv
ices of the Red Cross are ready to
assist local civil detense authorities
in preparing to feed, clothe and
shelter the homeless and other
evacuees.
In addition to advising the Na
tional Security Resources Board on
this subject for planning purposes,
the Red Cross has already con
ducted shelter and feeding surveys
in and around several principal
cities and further such surveys are
scheduled for other parts of the
country.
In addition, the Red Cross has
conducted or helped conduct more
than a score of mock disasters
throughout the country in the last
six months.

'MRS. MIKE/ DRAMA
OF CANADIAN WILDS
AT CAPITOL TONIGHT
Out of the memorable novel,
Benedict and Nancy Freedman’s
“Mrs. Mike,” comes a memorable
IIll’lllJU DCiUUlg blt«
title, the picture opens tonight at
the Capitol Theatre with Dick Pow
i ell playing the stalwart Sergeant
Mike Flannigan, and Evelyn Keyes
| portraying the part of Mrs. Mike,
: United Artists is releasing the pic
I ture, which was directed by Louis
King with a sensitive and knowing
touch which will doubtless please
the more than five million readers
of the book.
Alfred Lewis Levitt and DeWitt
Bodeen wrote the screen script of
■ Mrs. Mike,” which is based on the
real life adventures of Sergeant
Mike of the Canadian Northwest
Mounted Police, around 1907. When
Sergeant Mike meets Kathy O’Fal
lon from Boston, he warns her that
life in the vast Canadian wilderness
is tough for a woman of gentle birth
and breeding. But *Cathy is too
much in love with him to realize
the depth and sincerity of his argu
ments, and so they get married and
trek north by dogsled to Hendrick's
Hope, their first home.
The film, which will not let avid
readers of the book down at any
point, portrays w'ith taste and fidel
ity the exciting, colorful adventures
, of this‘Couple.
Filmed for the greater part in
the Canadian wilds, the snow scenes
| are startling in their beauty. As
! for the story, it is not all drama.
There are plenty of humorous in
terludes that arc heartwarming in
their simplicity. Besides its co
stars, who turn in superb perform
ances, the large cast includes J. M.
Kerrigan and John Miljan.
ADJUSTED TARIFF
SCHEDULE OF ACS
IN EFFECT JAN. I
Adjusted telegraph message tar
iffs have been announced by the
Alaska Communication System to
become effective as of January 1,
1951.
“The primary aim of the Alaska
Communication System is to pro
vide commercial communications
service at the lowest cost possible
to Alaskan customers,” states C ;1.
Fred P. Andrews, Commanding Of
ficer of the system in Seattle.
"However’ to provide service to
the greatest number of people pos
sible, it has been necessary to con
nect to and through commercially
owned facilities and to compensate
operators of these facilities for ser
vice rendered.
“As a consequence thereof, cer
tain classifications of messages and
routings have failed to produce suf
ficient revenue to meet fixed cojts.
“Adjusted tariff schedules were
engineered to increase present low
rates for deferred message classifi
cation where total tolls do not meet
fixed payouts and at the same time
to decrease rates for full rate mes
sage classifications resulting in a
relatively unchanged overall cost
to the public.
“These adjustments will alleviate
at this time the necessity for a gen
eral rate increase on all services to
meet increased layouts.
“After January 1, Alaskans will
find basically the following changes
in message rates:
“A decrease in extra word rates
for day messages and dayletters.
“An increase in initial nightletter
rates with a decrease in rates for
extra words above the initial min
imum.
"Decreases in rates for messages
filed to other line stations in Alaska
and between Alaska Communication
System points less than 100 miles
distance.
“Addition of night press rate and
elimination of the existing com
bination press rates.”

5AIVATI0N ARMY XMAS
DRIVE BEGINS MONDAY
AIDED BY FOUR GROUPS
Four Juneau organizations are
giving aid to the annual Salvation
Army Christmas Fund Drive. The
fund not only supports the Christ
mas activities but carries on winter
relief for needy persons. "We feel
that the need is greater than eve*
this year," Lt. Norman Steinig said
today.
The organizations whose members
have agreed to give time to "keep
ing the kettle boiling" are the
Lions, Rotarlans, Kiwanians, and
the American Legion. The kettle
will be located at Seward and Front
streets beginning at 10 a.m. next
Monday and will continue through
out the week, 10 to 5 daily.
The funds will be used for the
children's Christmas tree party at
the Salvation Army Hall, December
20: meals for transient men; sun
shine baskets for the hospitals; toys
for children; and family baskets,
in addition to regular winter relief.
Lt. and Mrs. Steinig are in charge
of the drive. Contributions can be
dropped in the kettle or mailed to
Box 2931. Lt. Steinig said. Or if
anyone wishes to give special art
icles, toys, clothing, candy, fruit,
or anything to make someone's
Christmas happier, a call to phone
254 between 8 and 9 o’clock any
morning will bring a representative
to call for it.
