Alaska's Minimum Wage
In Effect Since May 14
There has been some question
here as to when the 1959 Wage
and Hour Act became effective.
State Sen. Lester Bronson made
inquiry and he received word
from Gov. Egan that the law
went into effect on May 14.
Thus the minimum wage in Al
aska has been $1.50 per hour since
May 14.

Laura Mae Beltz Is
Cover Girl For The *
August Issue of ‘Holiday’
The August issue of Holiday
magazine will be especially note
worthy to the people of north
western Alaska because a Kotze
bue girl graces the cover. She is
the former Laura Mae Beltz, now
Mrs. Neil Bergt.
A 5000-word article, the maga
zine’s cover, and many colorful
full-page pictures are devoted to
presenting a sweeping picture of
the Nation’s northernmost, west
ernmost, biggest and ruggedest
state.
Alaska is a “solidly, stubbornly,
prideful American land,” says the
well-known historian James War
ner Bellah, in the magazine.
Says Bellah:
“Newcomers have difficulty ad
justing to the high costs of food,
clothing and rent: but wages are
high, too, and it isn’t long before
a balance is struck. Then life set
tles into a routine much like that
in any small town Stateside . . .
“The first winter can be a
morale hazard if you make it one.
Children go to school in darkness
and return in darkness. But again,
in compensation, the sun is still
shining in summer when you
come out of the night picture
show.
“Alaskans work hard, on a sea
sonal schedule; they are imbued
consciously or unconsciously with
the challenge of their vast land.
They marry young, raise large
families and their children for
the most part remain in Alaska.”
Front St. Gets New Look
Work on the city streets pre
paratory to paving has now ex
tended up Front Street and is
continuing up B Street. Water
lines have been placed tempor
arily on the sidewalk and fire
mains are exposed as the digging
out of the old roadbed continues.
The dirt removed is being used
to repair other streets and to
start new ones.
Specially prepared crushed rock
from an area east of the BPR
headquarters, from tailings of No.
5 dredge will ibe used for the new
roadbed.
DON KITCHIN RETURNS
Don and Dee Kitchii^. of the
Don-Dee Market returned from
Anchorage yesterday. Friends of

that he is much improved from
his sudden illness in Anchorage.
