MEETS WITH
BUSINESSMEN
Mrs. Mildred R. Hermann,
Alaska OPA director, who has
been a Nome visitor for the past
week, met Monday night with a
group of Nome business men and
women who are engaged in vari
ous services. The meeting was
called for the purpose of outlin
ing the requirements of the new
service regulation which was
made applicable to Alaska, effect
ive September 1st.
Mrs. Hermann explained the
regulation to those attending the
meeting and pointed out the nec
essity for service sellers to file
lists of base period prices by Oc
tober 1st. Copies of the manual
prepared in the Territorial OPA
office for the guidance of service
sellers were distributed to those
present.
Generally, the regulation estab
lishes the highest price charged
by the seller of the service during
March, 1942, as the ceiling price
for that particular business. There
are however, alternative methods
set up in the manual, for estab

services in connection with a
commodity'. The most common
service sellers are laundries, dry
cleaners, auto or electric repair
men, opticians, garbage collectors
etc. All persons engaged in these
and similar lines of business who
could not attend las-t night's meet

GARDEN GROWS
AT ALEUTIAN
ISLAND BASE
AN ALEUTIAN ISLAND —
Out behind the postoffice hut on
this far northern post is some
! thing that may never be hailed as
the eighth wonder of the world,
but it has the vote of the men
stationed on his Island until
1 something better comes along.
For here can be found a vege
: table garden planted by Cpl.
Harold Livingston of Peoria, 111.,
a clerk in the postoffic.e
According to the Last Outpost,
the weekly post newspaper, Cor
poral Livingston received some
garden seed from home about
May 15 and planted his “crop”
shortly thereafter.
“Fifty sizeable radishes have
' been his reward,” said the Last
'Outno t,.in t ,\u " * ('■ u ■■
! “and more are coming up. me
J largest of the crop was two in
ches in diameter. Buddies in Liv
' ingston's detachment have been
munching radishes with their
chow for a week now.”
The postoifiee corporal said he
tried the radishes as his first ex
periment because he had heard
they would grow anywhere. Since
then he has planted carrot and
lettuce seed. For this reason you
can find a crowd examining this
i “truck garden” almost every eve
ning to see if any new green
sprouts have blossomed.
