Mrs. G. W. Skinner, of Seattle,
who has charge of the Penny Drive
for the State of Washington and
Alaska for the second consecutive
year, discussed the drive with Mrs. |
Mullen while she was in Juneau1
aboard the North Sea last week.
•Last year is the first time we ex
perimented in carrying the drive to
Alaska and we were delighted with
the results, which were above the
expectations. From Juneau, Ket
chikan and Cordova, a total of
$301 JO was collected for the Or
thopedic. It was tremendously ap- '
predated and, as a large number j
of the patients for the hospital
come from the Territory, we feel
that Alaskans are deeply intereit
ed in carrying out the fine work
and wish to take part in this Drive.
"In the early part of 1932, when
a Fenny Drive was first suggest
ed, little did we think that in a
few years time it would be so
whole-heartedly accepted by the j
people of Seattle, the State of,
Washington and Alaska. Today we
truly believe that Penny Drive
means the Children's Orthopedic
Hospital to everyone we approach.
Small Donations Welcome
“It is a means of giving support
to the hospital by many people
who are sincerely eager to help our
organization, but feel that their
few cents would be too meagre an
amount to contribute outright, but
by leaving a Penny Bank with
them, their donations, no matter
how small, are collected in the en
velope,” Mrs. Skinner said.
