^or wmDlover~ delayed
Mailing, Sivs ESC
The Alaska Employment Secur
ity Commission will be delayed
in mailing employers their tax
reporting forms for the quarter
ending March 31, 1957, according
to Merrill E. Weir, director. Re- j
porting forms are usually mailed
bv the agency approximately 15
days before the end of the quar
ter to be reported.
Some changes in the existing
tax structure of the Alaska Em
ployment Security Act appear im
minent. It is for this reason that
tax forms cannot be printed in
rdvance. Employers will recall
a similar situation two years ago
when contribution reports were
not mailed to employers until ap
proximately April 15th.
Employers are assured, how
ever, that a full 30 day grace
j period for filing will be allowed
| them. The blank reporting forms,
: when mailed, will ,be accompan
I ied by printed instructions which
: will serve to point out changes
in tax provisions, if any, and will
j specify the due date of the re
ports.
S’funny, y’hnow; half the people
married last year were women!

News of Alaskans
By LULU M. FAIRBANKS
While a visitor in Seattle, for
the first time in 59 years, Mr. and
Mrs. Pete Curran were driven to
East Bonneville, Wash., to see
their old friend, Andy Nylen, who
lived in Solomon and at one time
represented the Second Division
at the Legislature in Juneau. Both
oldtime friends are past 90.
Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Rynning, old
time Nomeites, can furnish Alas
kans living in Tacoma with the
finest of flowers for parties, wed
dings and funerals at their Smith
Floral Store.
The man who named the town
of Deering, Slim Rydeen, lives at
7104 E. Mercer Way, Mercer Is
land, Wash. In 1901 he and his
two partners, Scott Swigart and
Anton Eglite, both now dead,
staked three lots on the highest
spot- off shore. That year a schoon
er appeared owned by Chas. Van
kert and Harry Olrnetz, who had
been in the Aleutian chain buy
ing sealskins.
It was the first schooner ever
to appear in Kotzebue Sound.
“Give me the highest lot, and
we’ll start a trading post,” said
the man. Rydeen called the new
town “Deering,” which was the
name of the boat. That summer,
the three partners went to Candle
and were the first persons to rock
there. In five days they took out
$3,000. Rydeen, now retired, is be
coming a garden expert.
