Now Kitchen Matches Are All Set
To March Into Your Living Room
There is nothing like the good
old-fashioned kitchen match for
lighting the fire in the fireplace
or outdoors grill, and many pipe
smokers have always preferred
these sturdy wooden matches
above all others. Wives, and hus
bands too, are going to wel
come the news that now kitchen
matches can be bought, at no
increase in price, in colorful pic
ture boxes that make them
appropriate for use anywhere in
the home.
The picture boxes come in
three different, full-color designs
—Ranch Scene, Early American
Fireplace, Country Kitchen. All
were painted by Virginia Plum
mer, a young Southern Califor
nia artist, and all were carefully
planned to harmonize with fur
nishings of living room, dining
room or game room. In fact, they
ar» guaranteed to attract admir
ing attention wherever they are
seen. As conversation pieces they
are hard to equal.
They are brand-new, but al
ready they are on sale in grocery
stores and supermarkets from
coast to coast.
Book Will Give
- N.C. Co. History
And Alaska Lore
Announcement has been made
by the Superior Publishing Co.,
Seattle, that “Flag Over the
North,” the history of the North
ern Commercial Comapny, will be
published later this year.
“The book is not only an im
portant historical volume, but is
a fascinating biography of an Am
erican business,” the publishers
state.
“It will be of unusual interest
to present and former employees
of the Northern Commercial Co.,
to the legion of friends and cus
tomers who know only a little of
the company’s colorful back
ground and to all students of the
origins and trends of development
in Alaska and the Yukon Terri
tory.”
The book contains many “firsts,”
according to' the publishers, and
“abounds in heretofore unpub
lished Alaskan material and illus
trations, of particular interest to
those who have themselves lived
or worked in the North. There ap
pears for the first time anywhere
the biography of a man who has
done much to build Alaska’s per
manent footing as a piece of Am
erica, Volney Richmond, Sr. For
the first time also, here is a com
plete history of the Alaska Com
merical Company and its succes
sor, the Northern Commercial
Company.”

NOTICE TO
TUNE BRIDES
James G. Brown, manager of
the Juneau Social Social Security
field office, requests all June
brides to have their new names
registered in the social security
records.
A social security account is
something like a bank account,
says Browne. “If it was assigned
to Miss Jones, we cannot post
credits to it for Mrs. Smith. Un
less we have been notified offi
cially, we have no way of know
ing that Miss Jones and Mrs.
Smith are the same person. Mrs.
Smith may work and pay social
security tax, but we cannot credit
her account as it was issued to
Miss Jones.”
“June brides of former years
who have not corrected their rec
ords should also do so at once,”
states Browne.
“It is very easy to change your
name in the records,” Browne
says. “A simple form which takes
a couple of minutes to complete is
all that is required.”
These forms can be obtained at
any Social Security Administra
tion field office. Those who can
not come into' the Juneau office
can write to the Social Security
Administration, Box 1331, Ju
neau, Alaska.
Regular physical examinations
are one of the best safeguards
against dying of cancer, the Amer
ican Cancer Society warns.

Natural Gas for
Pacific Northwest
Soon and Cheap
SEATTLE, Iff)—■Government ap
proval of a 1,446-mile natural gas
pipeline from Colorado-New Mex
ico fields to the Pacific Northwest
was hailed by the region’s gas
distributors Saturday as opening
a new era of rapid industrial
expansion.
But of closer interest to the
housewife were these questions:
How soon will natural gas be
available? First deliveries, says
C. R. Williams of Houston, Tex.,
are expected about Dec. 1955.
Williams is president of the Pac
ific Northwest Pipeline Corp.,
which was granted Federal Power
Commission authority Friday to
deliver natural gas to a six-state
Northwest area.
How much will it cost. Within
three years of the time gas reach
es the region, says N. Henry Gell
ert of Seattle, it will be cheaper
than either electricity or oil. Gell
ert is president of the Seattle Gas
Co. which supported Pacific’s bid
for the Federal Power Commis
sion franchise.
While gas interests associated
with Pacific’s application were
obviously jublilant, thesFPC deci
sion stunned officials of the com
peting Westcoast Transmission
Co., a Canadian firm, and sent gas
stock prices skidding in one of the
sharpest breaks in years on the
Vancouver stock exchange.
British Columbia Premier Ben
nett reserved comment on the
Federal Power Commission action
but a cabinet minister called it
“incredible” and “disastrous.”
The hopes of British Columbia
cities of getting natural gas were
pinned on Westcoast’s plan to
build a 130 million dollar pipeline
from the Peace River field of
northern British Columbia and
Alberta to Washington, Oregon
and Idaho. Without a U.S. market
the pipeline would not be econ
omically feasible.
