CAININES ROMP
OVER GROUNDS
OF RICHARDSON
FORT RICHARDSON, Alaska
Like many another Army post in
Alaska, Fort Richardson has lit
erally gone to the dogs, and the
authorities have decided to do
something about it.
The post is overrun with can
ines of all sizes and shapes, from
small domestic types to large
beasts with a definite strain of
wolf blood. Many organiza‘ions
can now boast a full squad of
dogs, the birth rate is high, and
the situation is becoming more
serious with every litter of oups
Soldiers here can s*ill have
their pets, but are now required
to register them, have them inoc
ulated for rabies and obtain dog
tags for them Pvt Vann Quiroga
of Pensacola. Fla., has been ap
pointed dog catcher to enforce
the measure
A dog pound with individual
dog houses and runways has been
built in, of all places, a nearby
prisoner of war interment camp
which is not in use. One of the
first five tagless dogs to land in
the bastille was a brown Springer
Spaniel, property of Lt. Gen. Si
mon Bolivar Buckner, Jr., Alas
kan Department commander, who
is himself a dog lover. It was
quickly claimed by the general.
Quiroga is making regular pa
trols through the post and can
ines that can't prove by their
dog tags that they have been reg
istered and vaccinated are thrown
in the clink. A descrip'ion of
the “inmates” is published for
three days in the post’s daily
bulletin, so that owners may
claim them.
Captain F. L Meyer, veterina
rian, estimates there are at least
200 dogs on the post. Approxi
mately half of them have already
been vaccinated.
It is hoped some of the un
claimed dogs can be placed
with responsible owners. Captain
Meyer said his office received
frequent requests for pet dogs,
the only hitch being that they
Usually desire a specific type and
some of the vagrant canines have
few redeeming features.
The dog pound will also be
available for “boarding out" pets
while their soldier masters are on
leaves or furloughs. The charge
for this service will be 50 cents
a day, to cover food and other
expenses.
Most of the pos* dogs are faith
ful to only one organization, and
come to be identified with that
Unit. Certain celebrities among
the canine colony are known by
name to nearly every soldier on
this large post.
One good example of this is
Jeff, a Husky sled dog long since
retired, who is a regular blood
donor at the veterinarian’s clinic,
when a sick or injured dog is in
need of a transfusion. Big and
healthy, Jeff doesn't seem to mind
it much, and he is usually re
warded with a good dinner.

Important Changes Are Made In
Alaska Price Regulations By OP A
_
A number of important changes
n Max mum Price Regulation No
194, under which commodities
sh pped into Alaska for resale arc
priced,- are covered in Amendment
No. 12 to MPR 194, Mildred R.
Hermann, Territorial Director,
announced recently.
The most significant change is
the incorporation of an alterna
tive method of price determina
tion in cases where the seller is
unable to determine h s maximum
price by the direct cost plus
mark-up formula In such a sit
uation, the amendment specifies
that the seller's ceiling price shall
be the same as the ceiling price
of his closest competitor for the
same or similar commodi'y as de
termined by h s competitor by the
application of such formula
Heretofore the selled was required
to apply to the Territorial Direc
tor in Juneau for authorization oi
a maximum price. The alterna
tive method of pricing will permit
a seller to arrive at his own ceil
ing prices expeditiously, and with
out the inconvenience or delay
necessarily encountered in estab
lishment of prices by administra
tive action, Mrs. Hermann stated.
BIDS CALLED
FOR IN NAMING
OF PERSONNEL
Monday evening. May 8‘h. the
Nome City Council met in the of
fice of the city clerk with Coun
cilman Charles D. Jones, absent.
The report of the fire chief was
react, and it was noted that John
Olson resigned April 30. and Andy
Ottorson resigned May 2nd.
During the month of April,
$655 in fines was collected from
48 arrests.
In the report of the present fire
and police chief was included a
statement to the effect that he
would not sfay in office after noon
of May 10th, unless his salary was
increased to $325 per month.
The council agreed to sell sev
eral lots in the east end of town
to Mrs. Helen Bockman
The budget for the fiscal year
for the Nome Territorial School,
presented by the school board,
was approved in the amount of
$7,401.40.
Salaries for the coming year
were set by the council at $300
for the chief and $250 lor other
fire and police employees of the
city.
B'ds were set for the office of,
fire and police chief and other
fire and police employees, to be
re'urned by 5:00 p. m. May 22nd.
To be certain that Nome would
not be wi+hout a chief of police
and a fire chief, the council then
appointed Arthur Fields to take
over the duties as acting chief of
police, wi‘h Eph Wheeler as his1
assistant until midnight of May
22nd, and V. G. <Binks> Seiffert
accepted the duties of fire chief
until May 22nd, the next council
meeting night.
Mayor Anderson appointed Pete1
Reader as chairman of the streets
and alleys committee, to replace
V. G. Seiffert, who resigned the j
chairmanship because of other du
ties.
The council discussed the in-1
She emphasized, however, tha*
the general level of prices under
the regulat on will be maintained.
The definition of ‘‘the direct
cost to the seller’' has been re
vised to provide that the diree*
cost shall be based on the seller’s
purchase from a customary sup
plier, at no higher than the sup
plier's ceiling price, and the cus
tomary means of transportation.
This ac'ion was taken, OPA said,
because instances of retailers
buy ng from other retailers, of
sellers receiving shipments by
plane, and re-routing goods
through Canadian ports, have
been numerous. The revised defi
nition will prevent use of infla
tionary elements in the calcula
tion of landed costs. Remo'e and
inaccessible areas which were
customarily supplied by plane will
not be affected by this ac'ion,
OPA emphasized.
Further to curb inflationary
practices, the amendment also in
corporates a provision prohibiting
pyramiding of markups in ‘rans
actions between retailers and be
tween wholesalers If during the
base period, November 7 to De
cember 6. 1941, a wholesaler sold
only to retailers, or a retailer

deciding that it should be increas
ed, but the Issue was tabled until
next meeting
Councilman Seiffert presented
a request in behalf of the North
ern Light & Power Co., for the
ci'y clerk to send a letter of rec
ommendation to the WPB, so that

power units, which the company
have received priority to pur-j

sold only to consumers the whole
salers, or retailer, must apply to
the Terri'orlal Director in Juneau
for a markup. It is expressly pro
vided that a wholesaler who sells
to another wholesaler may not
use the markup he took on his
sales to retailers, and a retailer
who sells to another retailer may
no‘ use the markup he took on
his sales to consumers.
A new section is added which
incorporates an administrative
ruling that a person who buys a
business is bound by the ceiling
prices of the seller of the busi
ness. The seller must either pre
serve and make available, or turn
over, to the buyer all records o!

which are necessary to enable
the transferee to comply with
the record and filing provisions
of the regulation.

of MPR 194 to include all amend
ments will shortly be released
