Health Council
Hold No Regular
Meetings Summer
A regular meeting of the Nome
Health Council was called to or
der by Chairman Henry G. Mil
ler. The minutes of the last spec
ial meeting w'ere read and ap
proved. Mrs. Sprengar, Nome
Public Health Nurse, gave her
report for the month of April
on her nursing activities. A copy
ihas been placed on file.
After some discussion it was
decided to postpone our regular
meetings during the summer al
though at any time any one con
snected with the Health Program
'comes to Nome, we will call a
special meeting for the occasion.
Mrs. N. Strand was called on
to give her talk on Home Haz
ards. She brought out the fact
that so many, deaths and per
manent disabilities occur in the
home and all through careless
ness on our part. It is up to each
one to keep the house tidy. Mis
placed furniture in a bedroom or
shoes that are scattered over the
floor may cause a death in the
night. Slippery floors, w'hether
•greasy linolium, scatter rugs on
■highly polished floors are all a
Source of trouble. Children
should be taught to pick up their
toys and especially to not leave
them around on stairways and
other not-so-well lighted places.
Medicine chests should be put
away from the reach of tiny
hands and a light should be plac
ed near at hand because all la
bels look alike in the dark.
Matches, knives, tools, etc. should
also be kept away from child
ren not yet old enough to know'
the proper use of each. Handles
of kettles sticking over the edge
of the stoves, are the cause of
many bad burns and also deaths
of those younger children that
are curious and want to help mo
ther in the kitchen. It must be
always remembered that one
should not handle electric switch
es and lights when in the bath
tub or when the hands are wet.
It is always a cause of misery.
Smoking in bed is a very bad
habit and often causes a loss of
home. Kerosene lamps, stoves,
etc. should be used with caution.
The housewife should always
use a common-sense step ladder
instead of loose chairs, rocking
chairs, or rickety boxes. We must
remember that accident do not
happen .they are caused, and
mostly by our own carelessness.
Mrs. Frawley was called upon
to give a report on the sale of
the Tuberculosis Seals at Christ
mas time she reported that a
draft for $121.00 was sent to the
office at Juneau which certainly
shows that Nome was doing its
part.
Meeting adjourned.
CAUTION—
With the coming of the late
breakup of Snake River this
spring, the local Coast Guard
personnel wish to remind all the
young people to please keep
ewaiy from Snake River, also to
Use caution if they have occasion
to walk over to Belmont Point.
The Coast Guard, as is usual
at this time of the year, will keep
a watch at the river, and all
small children, unless accompan
led by their parents will be re
quested to find other places of
amusement. PARENTS are re
quested to PLEASE COOPER
ATE.

COCKTAIL BAR LICENSE
LAW IS EXPLAINED
—
(From Fairbanks News-Miner)
Inquiries at the office of the
1 c’erk of the U. S. district court
regarding the licenses for “cock
' tail bars,” authorized by the last
legislature, continues to be per
sistent. John B. Hall, the clerk,
said.
“The b 11 goes into effect June
9,” Mr. Hall declared. ‘‘If an. ap
plicant applies for a cocktail bar
license between June 9 and June
30 in Fairbanks, he will be re
quired to pay the full $1000 lic
ense fee, but if he waits and ap
plies for his license to take ef
fect July 1, he will pay only for
a half-year license, from July 1
to December 31.
“Territorial liquor .licenses are
issued for the calendar year, not
! the fiscal year.
j “For a cocktail bar outside of
any incorporated town under
1,500 population, the same rule
as the foregoing applies, only the
fee for the license is one-half, or
$500, for the license. Any licensee
holding a beverage dispensary li
cense at the present time in Fair
banks and desiring to change to
, a cocktail bar license, effective
July 1, must submit a regular
^application for the cocktail bar
license, which will be presented
! to the city council, and, if ap
proved by the council, a cocktail
bar license will be issued by or
der of District Judge Harry
Pratt. The additional payment of
$361 is required, the licensee al
ready having received the bene
fit of onehialf of his Beverage Dis
pensary License that was issued
i to him January 1, 1939, leaving
him a balance of $150 that is ap
p’icable on his new cocktail bar
license.
“This $150 deducted from the
$500 for the half year license
leaves a balance of $350 to pay,
'and the additional $11 is for tjje
filing and the order granting or
denying, with a refund of $3 to
the licensee if no protest is filed.
“Outside of Fairbanks, which
is the only town in this Divi
sion with more than 1,500 pop
ulation, where the license for an
entire year is $500 a licensee de
siring to change to a cocktain bar
license the first of July, will be
required to submit ia regular ap
plication and pay $111 for the
half year license. In all cases
where a cocktail bar license is
applied for, for cash or surety
bond in the amount of $2,500
must accompany the application.
“The Beverage Dispensary Li
' censes already issued are good
until December 31, 1939, but at
the end of this calendar year the
old Beverage Dispensary License
is superseded by the new cocktail
bar license end no liquor license
will be in effect for the sale of
only beer and wine by the
drink.”

Full Text of
i Alaska’s New
Staking Law
Numerous inquiries have been
made of late respecting the exact
provisions of the new law, en
acted by the recent sesson of the
i Territorial Legislature, govern
: ing the size of association claims
and use of the power of attorney
in locating placer claims. The
new act, known as chapter 77 in
the session laws, becomes effect
ive June 9, or 90 days after it
was approved by the governor.
Any stagings before that date are
governed by the old law.
The new law, to apply on and
after June 9, is brief. The full
text of the act follows:
CHAPTER 77
AN ACT

aska, 1935, relating to placer min
ing claims.

Section 2. Section 5 of Chapter

1935 is hereby amended to read

cate any placer mining claim in
Alaska as agent or attorney for
another unless he is duly author
ized thereto by a power of attor
ney in writing, duly acknowledg
ed and executed within four

tion, and recorded in the office of

cated. No person shall act as at

month in the same recording dis
trict.”
Approved March 9, 1939.
Staking of Claims
