Court Delays Hearing
Juneau Hotel Tax Case
The Sales Tax case of the City
of Juneau against the Baranof
Hotel has been postponed until
the winter term of court. The case
involves the legality of taxing
liquor sales. The hotel has con
tended, under a law which bans
taxation of the liquor industry by
cities, that no tax is owed td the
city. The city has argued that the
sales tax is imposed on the cus
tomer and not on the liquor
industry.
Pioneer Convention
Souvenir Program Is
‘Hot Off The Press’
Souvenir programs for the first
State Pioneer Convention were
distributed today to the merchants
and business houses in Nome who
contributed so generously to make
the occasion a memorable one for
the many visitors who start arriv
ing today.
One advertiser, the very first
one to take a full page, will not
find his ad in the book, through
an error by the printers, who ex
press their apologies. This was
Les Keller, who has taken over
the juke boxes and merchandise
machines which were operated
under Arctic Sales by the late
“Juke Box Steve.” His support to
the Pioneers is indeed appreciated.
His ad appears in this issue of
The Nugget.

! Three Local CAP Cadets
Take Orientation Flights
Civil Air Patrol orientation
flights have been taken by Cadets
Grant Doyle, Thomas Boucher and
Douglas Lee.
The cadets earned these flights
by successfully completing pro
gressive levels of study and in
struction in Aviation Education.
The flights demonstrated func
tions of controls on aircraft; each
basic maneuver being explained
before execution.
When the cadets were momen
tarily uncertain whether they
weighed zero pounds or 300, and
not sure their stomachs were
properly located, they were ex
periencing mild negative and pos
j itive G factors involved in flight
and motion. They also found that
in aircraft making a 360 degree
turn would get into its own “prop
wash.”
Local teenagers, through parti
cipating in the COP cadet edu
| cational and training program are
i learning to be air-wise citizens
| for the dawning aero-space age.
