Alaskans have decided to care for her own Cerebral Palsy
Cases rather then to be dependent on some one of the United
States to burden themselves with a problem that in the strict
est sense of the word, is ^art of our duty.
Consequently some of the Legislators at Juneau conceived
the idea the first step in that direction would be the erection
of a Cerebral Palsy Hospital in Anchorage.
The Benevelent and Protective Order of Elks heard of this
legislative move and immediately undertook the campaign as
a most worthy project and the Territorial Elks assumed the
'Obligation uf the raising of the funds for this benevolant move
Each Lodge in the Territory pledged to raise a portion of
the amount needed to match a like Federal amount to build
the hospital.
KODIAKS OBLIGATION. AS SET FORTH BY THE EX
ALTED RULER AT THE CONVENTION, was $4000.00.
At a recent meeting of the committee assigned to the raising
c*f this four thousand dollars, the estimated amount raised to
date amounted approximately $3000,00.There is three weeks
of the alloted time left for Kouiak to meet its quota.
WHERE CAN WE RAISE THE $1,000.00
In th S3 remaining three weeks the Elks of Kodiak have a
trauged a number of programs to help raise this deficit. On
Sunday Oct her 17th there will be shown a most interesting
movie taken and edited by Verne and Verna St Louis, relating
their unusal experiences when they lived in the far north.
People who have seen these films have this to say. The close
up shots of some of the Kodiak Bear pictures are shots, the
tikes of which, have never before been taken. Beautiful scenes
all on colored film of the great interior, fishing, panning for
gold and outdoor Alaska, depicted in all her glory. The admis
sion to this movie is a Cerebral Palsy ticket which costs one
dollar. As an added attraction on next Sundays program there
will be an auction, at which many useful art.cles will be auc
tioned off to the highest bidder. This auction is not alone
legitmate but at times takes on a hilarious aspect. For instance
what would Tim Gilmore do with some old discarded feminine
hats, or Ole Johnson with a pair of real showshoes?
I Saturday, October 23rd the Elks are spons oring a public
jdance, the proceeds from which will all apply oh thecampaign
-This will be a gala affair, resplendent with a huge floor show
!at eleven o’clock. .
The Elks are not asking for a down-right donation, but they
are trying to give you somthing for your dollar.
A_Who knows. Maybe the dollar you spend today will come
back m the form of health and happiness to you or some mem
ber of your immediate family.
