Job Hunters
Warned
Fairbanks — Arthur Hedges,
Alaska War Manpower director,
arrived in Fairbanks on the PA A
plane from Juneau on an official
visit, leaving later in the week
by Alaska Airlines for Anchor
age.
“The thing we are mostly con
cerned with,” said Hedges ‘ is to
prevent job hunters coming to
Alaska from the States at this
time. We are trying to spread
the gospel in the States that we
are short of housing up here in
every town in Alaska.
“We are having an unemploy
ment problem in every town in
the Territory The train has
definitely gone past the siding
and has been derailed. Further
more, it is the wrong season of
the year for anyone to come here
looking for work.
“We si ill believe in the future
of Alaska but don’t believe it
will be contributed to at the
present time by mere job seek
ers. If one has enough money to
come up and start something of
his own, it is different, but even
newcomers with money face the
housing prob'em which is natur
ally worse in winter.”

Nenana
Fairbanks—A raging fire at
Nenana Dec. 7 burned the Nor

11 am by the N. C. Company
here. It was still burning at the
time of the call, with fire fighters
working in a 45 below tempera
ture. The Nenana N. C. agent
promised to call back with more
particulars as soon as he could
get a breathing spell.
No information was given as
to the cause of the fire, but
damage at the time was roughly
estimated at around $50,000.
OPA News
Pre-holiday turkey shoppers
will find the retail ceiling prices
od turkeys have been revised
over those in effect last year,
according to statement made to
day by Donald J. O’Connor,
Territorial Price Executive, for
the OPA.
Dressed young turkey will
tend to be slightly less and at
one price per pound whether
light, medium or heavy birds.
This simplifies pricing iequire
'mentsfor dealers too.
The ceiling prices on drawn
and quick frozen eviscerated tur
keys in light, medium or heavy
weights had to be adjusted up
ward to reflect increased whole
sale costs to dealers. This in.
crease however has been held to
a minimum in figuring the revis
ed ceilings, by taking advantage
of the decrease in surcharge and
other acquisition costs from
those prevailing last year, Mr.
O’Connor said.
Effective now, maximum
prices, uniform throughout the
territory, were established for all
retail sales of new standard radio
receiver tubes as announced by
Mildred R. Hermann. Alaska
Director of the OPA.
Prices thus set will include
standard guarantee extended by
manufacturer of tube, in no case
less than 60 days. Full credit or
refund must be given if a tube
proves defective and cannot be
replaced within a reasonable per
iod of time.
In addition to dollars and
a
cents ceilings thus set on a »ong
list of standard type tubes, this
new amendment to Alaska s
Price Regulation stipulates that
no charge may be madejfor test
ing tubes brought to sellers es
tablishment by a customer, Mrs.
Hermann said.
Detailed information on’ ceil
ing prices on radio tubes is avail
able at all War Priee and
Rationing Board Office.
