DRAMATIC ENTRY
BY “MISS NOME”
Timed to satisfy the dramatic
yearnings of the most exacting
Hollywood script writer was the
arrival of ''Miss Nome" for the
“Miss Alaska” coronation cere
monies Sunday.
Five minutes before the crown
was to be placed upon the head
of Miss Minnie Motschman a red
Cessna swooped over the Fair
banks playfield. The queen and
her attendants were hustled to
the airport and there they wel
comed “Miss Nome”—Miss Mar
garet Mae Scott.
Fairbanks carnivalites had giv
en up hope of seeing the win
some ruddy-cheeked brunette J
who was to represent Nome in |
the “Miss Alaska” contest.
Seven attempts to break thru j
thick weather a four-day stretch
of anxiety failed to permit Pilot
Frank Whaley to streak through
to Fairbanws from Nome.
On the flight which ultimately
brought the Nome queen here in
time to take her place at the
coronation the pilot was obliged
to fly 110 miles off his course
through skies which constantly
threatened to “ice up” on the
ship’s wings.
Accompanying “Miss Nome” to
Fairbanks was -Miss Constance
Mazen runner-up in the the
Nome queen selection.
Miss Mazens trip to Fairbanks
came as result of a virtual wind
fall. She was given the round
trip ticket to the carnival won
by Otto Worm of Kougarok, in a
special contest.
The Seward Peninsula miner,
j who was offered his choice of a j
I round-trip ticket Fairbanks or j
| $100 cash, acepted the ticket and
| asked that it be given to Miss
1 Mazen.
Now drilling at his Kougarok
j location after wintering in Nome!
; Worm said “I’ve had my share
! of fun this season. Now let some!
body else have a good time.”
Miss Mazen and the miner
have never met.
The Nome girls will remain in
the city several days.

Employees Get Receipts For
Fed. Insurance Tax Deductions
" I
Employers are now required
by law to give their employees
receipts for the money taken out
of their wages for old-age and
survivors insurance taxes accord
ing to Hugh J Wade, Director of
the Social Security Board office
at Juneau. This new requirement
of the Social Security Act he ex
plained went into effect the first
of this year.
Mr. Wade pointed out that
formerly the employer was only
required to furnish the employee
with a notation which would per
mit him to check the accuracy of
the deduction. “This,” he said
“could even ibe included on a pay
check which would of course ev
entually be returned to the em
ployer. But now the law specific
ally stipulates that the employer
must furnish a statement ‘suit
able for retention by the em
ployee.’ ” He added that the law
provides a $5 penalty for each
willful violation of this provi
sion.
Certain specified information
must be included on the receipt
but the wording is left to the em
ployer. In addition to the amount
of tax deducted, the receipt must
show the name of the employer,
the name of the employee, the
period of time covered by the re
ceipt and the total amount of
wages paid to the mpeloyee dur
ing this period.
Employers are required to
furnish such receipts at least
once a year and may furnish
them oftener—every quarter or
every month or every pay day as
they see fit. The receipt must be
given to the employee within two
months after the end of the pay
period which it covers and in any
case when the employee leaves
the job.
NOW THEY KISS AT HOME
«NKsr:' • issawasw•* natim H * T >
An understanding judge dismissed a charge of disorderly conduct
against John Donnan of Chicago after advising the young man to
kiss his wife at home in the future. Donnan chose the driveway of a
police garage to kiss his wife—a patrol wagon found its passage
blocked by the couple, words led to deeds and Donnan spent the
night in jail. Here Donnan is shown following the judge’s advice.
