Home Arts Club
Handling Drive
For Scrap Rubber
As part of a Territorial wide
campaign club wcmen of Nome,
like those of other Alaskan towns
are putting on a drive this week
to collect every possible scrap
of rubber that can be used in
war work. Gasoline stations have
been designated as repositories.
The rubber dump in Nome is on
the lot just west of the Nome
Motprs building.
Last Saturday a telegram from
Gov. Gruening to the Home Arts
Club asking for full cooperation
and the securing of the widest
possible community support in
the collection of rubber sent
members of the club scurrying
about making plans and doing all
in their power to see that all old
rubber in Nome is on the dump
. on Front Street by Saturday
night.
Lehmann’s, Polet’s, the U. S.
Mercantile Co. and the Bon
Marche are helping by asking
i their drivers to pick up contain
ers of rubber that may be ready
when they deliver groceries and
' take them to the rubber dump.
Children under the direction of
Miss Hilda Gustafson are also
looking for, and bringing in all
the rubber they can.
It is hoped that every one with
rubber to contribute will see that
it is delivered, but if that is im
possible, call Mrs. Art Martin,
j who will arrange to have it pick
ed up.

! Plane Reported
Missing Two
Times One Night
Anchorage, July 8 (APt
— Ed Bowman, pilot, and
Shorty Dillard, mechanic,
were reported missing to
night for the second time,
on a flight from Cordova to
Anchorage. Their plane
was reported last night, by
radio, due to motor trouble
to have made a forced land
j ing on a sandbar with two
i passengers aboard.
Pilot Art Glass went to
i the scene and picked up
I the passengers, but left
Dillard to assist in repairs.
Bowman again reported by
i radio this morning, saying
he was taking off Anchor
. ageward. He later gave a
weak radio signal saying
; he was making another
forced landing. Listeners
said they thought he said
near an island but search
ers. flying over, were un-;
able to locate the plane.
Bowman and Dillard Are
Located. Safe but Chilly
Anchorage. July 8 (AP)
— Aerial searchers located
Bowman and Dillard, safe
but chilly after a second
forced landing, part way
i over the treacherous Cor
dova - Anchorage flight.
The searcher* dropped
sleeping bags and food to
the pair, who were appar
ently in no danger.
Boat Owners
Must Purchase
Fed. Use Tax
TACOMA. Wash. (Special) —
Owners of boats subect to the
special Federal Use Tax must
purchase a stamp before July 1,
if they inten dto operate their
craft on or after that date, ac- i
cording to Clark Squire, Collect
or of Internal Revenue. Applies
tions for stamps are now being
ma:led taxpayers on the Collect
or’s list.
Like the motorist who faces a
gas shortage if he does not have
the auto use stamp on his car,
the yachtsman appears to have a
chaice of buying a stamp for the
new fiscal year or unshipping
his oars for a nice long row if he
insists on boating. Uncle Sam
says no gasoline will be avail
able to boats that do not bear
use stamps after the proposed
rationing program is established.
Tax is due for the full fiscal
year. July 1 to June 30, 1943 if
the boat is used July 1 or any
time thereafter during that
month. If the boat is first placed
in operation in a later month it
' is subject to a reduced tax ac
| cording to the number of months
remaining in the year. Stamps
must be paid for with cash, post
| office money order or certified
' check. The Collector will accept
| no other form of remittance.
Tax follows the boat and, there
fore, only one stamp should be
; purchased for a boat even tho
j ownership changes during the
year. The rate is $5 for boats 16
j 28 feet in length, and graduates
! to as high as $200 for those over
i 200 feet. Stamp must be purchas
! ed before the boat is put in use.
There are 9 exemptions from
I the tax including boats: Not pro
j pelled by machinery or sails;
measuring less than 16 feet in
j length; not used during the tax
I able year; used chiefly for trade;
| chiefly for commercial fishing;
| used without profit by any bene
volent, charitable, or religious
organization exclusively for fur
nishing aid, comfort, or relief to
seamen; used by sea scouts chief
ly for training scouts in seaman
! ship; owned by non-resident
[ aliens; used by the United Stat
: es, a state, territory, District of
i Columbia, or any political sub
J division.
