IMPROVEMENTS
III WHITE PASS
CLUB
Many changes have taken place
at the White Pass athletic club
during the past days. A new
washing machine has been estab
lished that is a big saving in time
and money. An Eden Electric
Washing and Wringing machine has
been fitted permanently into o
small wash room, with drain pipes
leading directly away from the wash*
er, and with stationery tubs at
tached close by. Mr. Cartwright
says towels can be washed by this
machine without touching them by
bAnd, that t'uey are washed clean,
and that there is a saving in rnon
1 ey as well as in wear and tear on
the towels. In fact he says five
towels out of a hundred that used
to be destroyed in the washing pro
cess are now saved .
Officials of the club are con
templating putting a circular stair
way leading from the popular read
ing room on the second floor di
rectly down to the bath room, thus
enabling members to use those two
rooms without having to go thru
tho cold gymnasium, or to disturb
any games or dances In the gym.
The bath roonj is being painted
in white, and new wall fixtures are
being put in .
The small room at the north of
tho building 011 the main floor is
t< bo carpeted and fitted with
stoves, to be used as a sort of
alcove and dress room when dances
E are held in gymnasium.
3 Steam pipes ftre to be put along
s cne side of the gymnasium thus
I giving a little heat which is so
I badly needed now when the gym is

WE CAN RELEASE
SPEAKER
"Alaska, like our export neigh
bors, is far from the base of sup
plies, granaries and packing houses,
and hence uses a large percentage
of exportable supplies a8 compared
to other commodities. Bo Alaska by
substituting other foods as far as
possible for wheat, flour, refined
sugar, smoked meats, canned milk,
etc., can release for export and ar
my use more per capita than other
parts of the country."
Thus spoke Paul McClellaud in
the Popular Picture Palace last
night to a large audience of en
thusiastic people. Mr. McClelland
is the first Skagway citizen to ad
dress a gathering iu the interests
of the government and acting un
der the auspices of »he Four Min
ute Men, who are volunteer speak
ers in motion picture theatres.
"How can I be assured that what
I save will not simply leave more
to be used by the less conscientious
people in the South," continued Mr.
McClelland. "The administration
practically guarantees that by tak
ing care of food speculators," he
said.
The United States and Canada
raised 917,000,000 bushels of wheat
this year. Ordinarily they would
use 655,000,000 bushels. This would
leave 262,000,000 bushels for ex
port purposes. Put the Allies
must have more than twiee that
amount. So we have got to give
them 300,000,000 bushels of our
own besides our surplus which
means that we have simply got to
eat less wheat."
