Overtime Pay Policy
For Holiday Weeks
SAN FRANCISCO—J o h n R.
Dille, regional director of the
Labor Departmen’s Wage-Hour &
iPublic Contract Divisions, gives
us a reminder that the special
overtime pay policy for long holi
day weekends applying to last
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New
Year’s Day was revoked on Jan
uary 14, 1957. The revocation spe
cifically provided that the policy
would not apply to future holi
days.
The Federal Wage-Hour Law
requires the payment of at least
one and a half times the employ
ee’s regular rate of pay for each
hour after the 40th of a work
week. The Public Contracts Act
requires that overtime be paid
after eight hours in any one day
or 40 hours in any one week,
whichever is the greater number
of overtime hours.
About 15 Alaska flags, used to
decorate graves of pioneers on
■Memorial Day, were taken from
the cemetery. The Pioneers re
quest the return of the flags and
no questions asked. Leave them
at the Nome Liquor Store, please.
GOLDEN
MEMORIES
By G. R. GOSHAW
From the log of Robert Cook in
1878 the following is found:
On the 9th of August he “tacked
and stood away from the north- ,
west part of the mainland which '
he named Cape Prince of Wales.” j
He described it as encumbered I
with ice.
Confronted with need of wood j
and water and seeing on August j
27th flocks of ducks flying south- j
ward, he sighted an extreme end j
of the coast which he named Cape j
Lisbourne.
With snow squalls and ap- j
proaching ice, he realized that it j
was wise and expedient to get out i
of the arctic, so he headed south j
■ and dropped anchor in a big bay '
I or sound. He sent his executive
officer ashore for wood and water. |
He named the body of water
Norton’s Sound, in honor of Sir
! Fletcher Norton, speaker of the j
House of Commons and related to !
1 the first officer, whose name was |
' King. i

Bartlett Protests
Aerial Inspection
Plan for Alaska
Bv Mary Lee Council
Secretary to E. L. Bartlett.
Delegate to Congress from Alaska
Delegate E. L. Bartlett ex
pressed concern in writing last
week to Secretary of State Dulles
over the announcement recently
made that aircraft of the Soviet
Union might be permitted to
make aerial inspections of Alaska
.'n return for similar inspection
of Siberia on the part of the U.S.
“Whether these accounts,” Del
egate Bartlett wrote, “reflect an
accurate representation of your
views is, of course, outside the
scope of my knowledge. But I am
gravely concerned that a proposal
has been made in any form which
would permit Russian aerial in
spection of Alaska without prior
consultation with Alaskans or
their representatives in govern
ment.
“After all, Alaska is part of the
United States and we Alaskans
have a tremendous stake in the
situation which exists today.
“Our proximity to that section
of the Soviet Union facing us an
Bering Strait makes Alaska more
vulnerable than any other part of
the United States to swift attack
from the Asiatic mainland.”
‘Walking Blood Bank’
Of Soldiers Donates
75 Pints Monthly
A “Walking Blood Bank” of
soldiers from the 23rd Infantry
at Fort Richardson, Alaska, do
nates an average of 75 pints of
blood a month to the Alaska Na
tive Hospital in Anchorage.
The entire regiment takes part
in the program.
The service began last October
as an emergency measure for the
victim of an auto accident, whose
life was thereby saved.
The 23rd has since adopted the
blood bank as a service project,
and more than 400 pints of blood
have been donated by members
of the unit.
Ghiglione Named Chief
Of Foreign Programs
A. F. Ghiglione, former head of
the Alaska Road Commission, has
been named chief of the foreign
programs division of the Bureau
of Public Roads. The appointment
is effective June 2', according to
the Associated Press.
