New Land Laws Are
Explained by Chipperfield
The 1955 session of the Alaska
Legislature amended the Alaska
Registration law of 1953. Import
ant amendments to the law are:
1. Property owners are exempt
filing ownership statements if
their property is located within
incorporated cities, public utility
or school districts where record
of ownership of real property is
maintained.
2. All liens on property which
may have accrued for failure to
file ownership statements-or pay
the penalty for late filing are
released and no action to enforce
such lien shall be sustained.
3. Property owners who paid
the penalty for late filing are
entitled to claim refund of the
payment and such refund is au
thorized.
4. Ownership statements for
property outside incorporated
cities, public utility districts, and
school districts must be filed on
or before Dec. 31, 1955. If such
statement has been filed under
the original act another filing is
not necessary.
5. Funds were appropriated for
the administration of the act. The
amendment is made effective on
the date of its passage.
Territorial Land Commissioner
W.A. Chipeprfield states that all
U.S. recorders are being advised

standardized forms and filing in
structions will be prepared and
distributed throughout all of Al
aska. Standard forms for use in

and final instructions for their
use will be announced within a
short time.

Legislator’s Motion
Intended to Block
Any Statehood Bill
WASHINGTON, UP)—The Miss
issippi Democrat who made the
motion Tuesday through which
the House Rules Committee ap
proved allowing the House to
consider, but not amend, an Ha
waii-Alaska statehood bill, ex
plained his reasons afterwards.
He was Rep. William M. Col
mer. The House Interior Com
mittee had approved the bill by
a 19-6 vote.
“I am still unalterably opposed
to the bill,” Colmer said. “Re
publicans want statehood for Ha
waii; Democrats want it for Al
aska. I want it for neither.
“But I believe it should be both
or neither. And I think this is
the best way to kill the bill.”

years ago, was flown here Mon

plane.
Doctors were forced to ampu
tate his right arm and right leg

while in surgery.
CULLINERY QUEEN
By Harold Salisbury
As a snortin’ cook I’m versatile,
- In kitchen chores I’m valid,
I throw good grub .together fast
And sometimes toss a salad,
I stir a Mix until it clicks
An' shuffle all the dope in ’er
For I’m the Cullinery Queen,
- Me an’ my ole can-opener!
But Mr. Campbell makes me soup
An’ Albers makes me hot-cake,
Proctor an’ Gamble makes me
suds
An’ vodka makes me head ache!
It’s Mr. Armour makes me beef
An’ Planters makes me nuts
While Mr. Quaker makes me oats
An’ me pie is by None Such,
Oh, Mr. Swift me gravy makes,
Log Cabin makes me syrup,
Mr. Darigold makes me milk
An’ pickles make me burrup!
Swansdown makes me angel food
An’ Crisco makes me lard
While Mr. Borden,- he makes me
cheese
But cooking makes me tired!
“The best things in life are
free”—and isn’t it a great pity
that most of the next best things
are so expensive?

Joyriding RAF
Corporal Crashes,
Kills 4 Frenchmen
VALENCIENNES, France, UP>—
A nearsighted young British Air
Force corporal, climaxing a wild
aerial joyride, crashed a stolen
RAF training plane through a
French home at the village of
Vicq Monday night, killing him
self and four villagers.
The corporal, a ground crew
man with only a student pilot’s
license, was found dead in the
charred Wreckage of the $700,000
plane, a twin - engine Vickers
Varsity with a 95-foot wingspan
and a weight of more than 15
tons.
Identified as Nick Agnani, 20,
a • British subject who was born
in the area which is now Paki
stan, he took the plane Monday
night from the Torney Island
Navigation School in Hampshire,
England.
He nearly stalled and crashed
at the takeoff, a witness said, but
kept the plane aloft. Then he
circled the field and set off for
London, 60 miles southwest. He
cruised dizzily over London for
I nearly three hours, roaring back
and forth at heights ranging from
20 to 1,000 feet, and then van
ished.
Evidently he headed immedi
ately for the continent. His end
came in this French coal mining
region near the Belgian border
about 175 miles southeast of Lon
don. Vicq lies not far from Val
enciennes.
The British Air Ministry said
there was a requirement on
Agnani’s student pilot’s license
that, because of his nearsighted
ness, he wear glasses while fly
ing.
