Tonight is the evening the Sew
ard Women’s Club is entertaining
the public with one of their too
rare affairs, a bridge and whist
party, and if indications are read
correctly the party tonight will be
another splendid success.
A fine social evening is assured
the public, for it is to the public
it is being given, and not to mem
bers of the organization, alone.
Refreshments will be served dur
ing the evening—home-made—
and this will undoubtedly
attract many. In order to defray
expenses the nominal sum of 50c
per person is being charged. Play
ing will start at 8 o’clock and
there will be ample tables.
The Odd Fellows hall is the setting.

ANN WOODS, FULL BLOODED
NATIVE GIRL, DIED TO
SAVE OTHERS
It is proposed that the friends
of the Kanakanak orphanage at
Dillingham, and lovers of courage
and heroism, to subscribe $1,000
to erect a little monument over
the grave of Ann Woods, the or
phanage girl, whose presence of
mind on December 22, 1928, saved
the building from destruction and
the possible deaths of scores of
the little inmates.
In a letter received in this mail
from Dillingham, the Gateway is
j urged to assist in this worthy am
bition, The letter from Horace
CalaTv'eii, of the institution, fol
lows :
For her presence of mind,
thoughtfulness for others and
great bravery under the most try
ing circumstances that could come
j to any person; with her own
clothes covered with gasoline and
flaming, she picked up the can of
burning gasoline, carried it from
the building and certainly saved
the building from destruction. A
large number of the children are
between the ages of four and eight
years; there is little doubt that
some of the children would have
been lost if the building burned.
For this act of saving life she
desetves a Carnegie Medal; she al
so should have a little monument
over her grave in memory of her
death and to serve as a lesson in
bravery to those who may visit
her grave.
Every school child in Alaska
ought to contribute a few cents
toward this monument fund, and
every person in the Territory
ought to feel patrio tic pride
enough to impell them to give a
little towards it. No man could
perform a greater patriotic ser
vice for his country or show great
er love for his fellow men than
this girl showed for the little
children in the orphanage, when
she was burned to death on the
morning of December 22, 1928. “I
know that the men, women and
children of Alaska feel a pride in
the whole of this Territory, and
any outstanding service by any
one of its people appeals to their
love and sense of citizenship.”
Ann Woods, a full blooded na
tive girl, was born May 23, 1908,
at Wood River, Alaska. Her fath
er and mother died of influenza
during the epidemic of 1918: she
was sent to the Kanakanak or
phanage and had been there
since. In all her relations with
teachers and children she was al
I ways thoroughly liked by every
one. She was one of the most re
liable girls in the institution. One
could always depend on her work
! being done thoroughly and well.
I She was one of the few girls that
| could be trusted with the charge
| of the children when the matron
! had to be absent for any reason.
