Two Benefit Basketball
Games Slated For Friday
At The School Gym
The two Explorer Scout crews
have been blazing new trails on
the basketball court in scrim
mages so they may live up to
their motto of preparedness for
the big game this Friday night at
7:30. The Scouts play the first
game of the evening’s twin bill.
The B.T.’s have been forming
plans and perfecting a new of
fensive pattern of basketball play
which they are positive will leave
the Liniment Squad completely
bewildered. The rumor is that the
Liniment Squad also has some
thing new in a miraculous oint
ment that rubs off 20 to 30 years
of age when applied to a “basket
ball player.” This contest might
well be a preview game between
future man and modern man.
This game starts at 8:45.
Remember — these games are
a benefit for • the School Band
Festival Fund and the Explorer
Scouts.
The time: Friday night at 7:15.
The place: Nome School Gym.

Christine To Be Married !
NEW YORK, UP! — Christine
Jorgenson’s efforts 1o obtain a
marriage license have been de
layed by a technicality, not con
nected with the fact that she
changed her sex.
The delay came Monday when
the would-bc bridegroom. Howard
J. Knox, 33, a Waukegan. 111., sta
tistician, couldn’t produce a copy
of an Illinois divorce decree that
ended a previous marriage.
As for Miss Jorgensen’s sex.
which was changed from male to
female by surgery in Denmark in
1950, a blood test certificate on
which a physician certifies that
she is a woman should be suffi
cient, said City Clerk Herman
Katz.
Miss Jorgensen, a former sol
dier, gave her age as 33 and listed
her occupation as an entertainer.
A steel boat-building company
has developed a wav of using
platinum anodes to prevent cor

An anode containing 1 a ounce of

free of corrosion indefinitely. The

small.

Fish and Game Regulations
Being Ironed Out In House
JUNEAU, (* — The House dis
pensed with a lraft of business yes
terday, one of the most important
items being the establishment of
fish and game regulations.
Much of the day was spent
ironing out details of a bill which
outlines activities of the new Fish
and Game Department.
The House approved license fees
which would cost non-resident
fishermen approximately three j
times as much as Alaskans will j
pay.
The bill was amended to give
the proposed Fish and Game
Board more power. The amend
ment provides for members to
serve a specific term and removal;
only for cause. Earlier, the board
was designed to serve terms at the
pleasure of the Governor.
In other action, House members
turned down a resolution by mi
nority leader Bruce Kendall of
Valdez that called for immediate
appointment of Alaska’s first reg
ular U. S. District Court.
Objection to the resolution was
'based on a contention a new fed
eral court system would upset
Alaska’s present transitional court
system.
Representatives Helen Fischer
and Robert Giersdorf told the!
House they were withdrawing a
proposal for a 30-year, 50 million
dollar bonding program to finance
! public improvements they had
[ submitted Monday.
A substitute proposal calling
i for 3 study of the state’s needs
will be offered, they said. They
■ said they will propose the results
j of the study be presented to the
next session of the Legislature,
which would then decide whether
j to submit the bonding program to
i the voters.
