! Emily Bourdon Drowns
Despite Rescue Efforts
Despite all efforts to
save the life of Emily Bour
don last evening she did
not revive after drowning.
The young 13-year-old
fgirl, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Bourdon of
Nome, was walking on the
oil dock when a board
went out from under her
and she fell through to the
water. Her cries for help
were heard by Milton
O'Farrell and Robert Scott
who went to her aid.
Though the former young
i man dived into the water
and managed to get hold of
her, the waves pounded to
ward the shore with such
force and the undertow
was so great that his grasp
was broken. Two by-stand
ers were able however, to)
wade out into the surf and
get her ashore.
While word was sent to
the Fire Dept, to bring the1
IH & H Inhalator, artific
ial respiration was applied.
The pulmotor arrived in
good time and every effort'
was made to revive the
girl who was later remov
ed to the hospital when1
further attempts were
made but to no avail.

New $5 Use Tax Required
By Motorists after June 30
In Order To Buy Gas
TACOMA, Wash. (Special) —
j Every motorisrt who plans to
! drive his car after June 30 faces j
probable necessity of buying a ;
new $5 Federal automobile use |
tax stamp by that date or else
create his own private gas short
age. From information released
I by Clark Squire. Collector of In- |
ternal Revenue, it appears that
! Uncle Sam has found a way to
make every car owner, without
I a single exception, buy a stamp.
Any motorist who doesn’t want
to purchase a stamp may as well
! jack up his car for the duration
' because he on’t get any gas. The i
Office of Price Administration
, has advised Commissioner of In- !
ternal Revenue Guy T. Helver- i
j ing that possession of a stamp!
! bill will be necessary to procure i
! gasoline after the proposed ra- 1
i tioning has gone into effect.
The new stamp was placed on j
i sale June 10 at all post offices \
I and the office of the Collector1
I of Internal Revenue in the dis
i trict of Washington and Alaska.
I Lt is serially numbered and
should be placed on the wind
| shield of the car alongside the
I state vehicle inspection sticker.
To keep the stamp affixed to the
windshield, it is suggested that
the vehicle owner dampen the1
windshield rather than ithe ad-'
hesive side of the stamp.
As a precaution against loss or
theft, it is suggested the motor
i ist make a record of the serial
number on his stamp in order!
that there may be some means!
of identifioa/tion to enable him to j
purchase gasoline.
Only cash will purchase
stamps at the post office while
Collectors will accept cash, Post !
Office Money Orders, or certified j
1 checks.
