New Tax In Effect Today
The new City Sales Tax goes
into effect today, so if the clerks
are a little slow in giving change,
they are to be excused, until they
can be accustomed to the new rate,
which is somewhat more difficult
to figure than the old rate of 2
per cent. Charts have been pre
pared by the City for the business
houses with the tax figured up to
$20.00. These will be of some help.
All those who find it hard to
take the new tax in their stride
should keep in mind that Front
Street will be paved in a few
weeks, and that is where a lot of
those sales tax pennies are going
this year.

Ten-Day Excursion
Takes Explorers
Canoeing to Teller
More than 700 feet of film re
cords the trip just completed by
the Explorer Scouts from Nome
to Teller on a ten-day outing.
The first night of the trip, the
group of 14 Explorers and three
adult leaders camped out at Cot
tonwood, where they found the j
greyling plentiful. The next day i
and a half was spent at Pilgrim j
Springs, where they not only en-1
joyed hours of swimming in the
hot water, but did several hours
of work for their conservation j
badges. The next phase of the trip j
took them on an eight-hour canoe |
trip and in to Igloo. When they j
entered the Imuruk Basin they 1
enjoyed the novelty of catching
pike. Camped along the beautiful
Tuksuk Basin, they saw about
2,000 deer of the Kakarak herd,
crossed into Grantley Harbor, and
were given a hearty welcome at
Teller, where everyone was out to
meet them.
The Explorers report that the
people of Teller went all out to
make their stay interesting. A
special move was shown, and a
dance was held for the young
people.
Sam Ailak, who was raised in
the Igloo and Teller country,
knows the river route well, and
was not only a good guide, but
made the trip interesting with
his stories and legends of the
people of that area. Without his
guidance, the trip might have tak
en much, longer, as there are many
blind sloughs along the Kuzatrin
and Kruzamapa Rivers through
which the party passed.
In the party were Ray Arnold
and Rod Boucher, Life Scouts;
Taylor Moto Jr. and David Craft,
Star Scouts, and the following
First Class Scouts: Eddie John
sen, Johnnie Herman, Freddie j
Kungesuk, Bob Oman, Curtis
Chunn, Danny Rockne, Billy Mul
ler, Ernie Ailak, Charlie Nershak
and Wayne Wittie.
They were accompanied by their
advisor, Ash Craft, under whose
guidance the canoes of fiberglass
were made by the Explorers them
selves. Rev. Edgar Bibb was cam
eraman for the trip.
They returned home by plane,

Adams and Bill Munz.
