OPA NOTIFIES
LANDLORDS
ON RENTING
‘‘Whenever ‘here shall be r
change of tenancy, the landlord
or his agent is required to give
notice to the OPA on a special
form which is furnished,” thf
War Price and Rat oning Board
today reminded Nome landlords.
The landlord was also display
his copy of the registration form
to the incoming tenant’and obtain
his signature on the reverse side
in addition to filing the report on
change of tenancy.
The board po nted out that
there were exceptions to the law.
Changes of tenancy need not be
reported by hotels, rooming house
operators, or landlords who rent
out rooms within their residences
to more than two paying tenan‘s
A last call was also issued by
the War Price and Rationing
Board to landlords for registering
their rented units—‘'those who
are renting out rooms or offering
‘hem for rent now and who have
not registered, stand in violation
of the rent law,” said the board
clerk. Landlords cannot evade
the effects of the rent regulation
merely by failing to record their
ren'als with the OPA office; that
would be taking unfair competi
tive advantage with their neigh
bors who have registered and are
complying with the rent law.
Late registrations will be ac
cepted by the War Price and Ra
tioning Board until May 5, 1944.
After that any person who at
tempts an untimely filing must
accompany the registration with
an affidavit justifying the delay
O'her cases that come to the at
tention of the Board will be for
warded to the OPA Enforcement
Division in Juneau for the appli
cation of appropriate enforcemen1
sanctions.

How To Remove Shine
From “Sat-Out” Suits
By VIVIAN BROW N
AP Features Writer
Your worn-pre-war clothing
is likely to be of better quality
than 'currently purchaseable gar
ment. Don't discard them just
because they are shiny from wear.
Tha* shine can now be removed
with a colorless odorless, non
inflammable liquid that can be
found at notion and houseware
counters.
If used properly, it should re
move the shine from women’s
and children’s clothes as well as
men’s shiny pants seats. Not only
will the shine be removed, bu'
the original nap can be brouglv.
up again on rough textured fab
rics, the color revived and the
whole garment made wearable
and new looking again.
It should also remove shine
from rayons, silks, cottons and
upholstery without affecting its
fiber strength or changing its
shade if it has been dyed with a
color fast to plain water.
The method of application is
simple. Take the garment you
want to de-shine and lay the shiny
portion on your ironing board.
Wet a sponge or soft cloth thor
oughly with the liquid and stroke
it well into the fabric. Wait a full
minute to give the liquid a chance
to work. Then, if the fabric is
heavy textured or woolen, use the
special renapping cloth supplied
in the kit.
Use a s*iff nail brush, or any
small stiff brush, for rayons and
lighter fabrics. Stroke against
the nap, brushing briskly for a
moment or two. Certain types of
crepes need a second application:
you can gauge this as you work.
The renapper is made of rough
towelling treated wi*h plastic and
should be used only on heavy
napped fabrics. It should not be
used on seams as it weakens the
stitches.
A garment should take any
where from twenty minutes *o an
hour to dry. depending on the
-

You Can Do It At Home
size of the area you are working
with. It leaves no ring. You can j
iron garments as soon as you’ve
finished using the liquid, but use
a pressing cloth to avoid iron
shine.
Garments *reated with this li
quid should revert to “new stat
us’’ as far as shine is concerned.
Shine will reappear from constant
wear, however, just as in a new
garment.
Mothers who are having trou
ble with Junior over wearing
older brother’s hand-me-downs
can now make them look like
new; business gals can give las*
year’s "sat-out’’ suit a treatment
that will insure a lack-lustre
smartness, and housewives can de
shine upholstered furniture so
that it looks fresh and revived.

SENATOR HILL
RENOMINATED
IN ALABAMA
UNDATED — Senator Hill was
renominated in Alabama yester
day, while Senator Pepper ran up
a substantial lead in a five-way
contest in Florida
Both administration stalwarts
were vigorously opposed by critics
of the Roosevelt nomination, as
they were good election support
for the President, but figures as
a side issue, the senatorial pri
mary in South Rakota, where Re
publican Senator Gurney was re
nominated, despite claims he had
absorbed much New Deal philos
ophy.
