Taylor Moto, of Deering, killed :
a polar bear about twenty miles;
south of Deering recently. The
water was too shallow for the
b?ar to dive err escape by swim
ming, and there was no ice over
which he could get away. There
is considerable speculation on
how a polar bear happened to be
in the vicinity so early in the sea
son. It is assumed it must have
been stranded last spring with
the breakup of the ice.

Consumer Due for
New Liquor Tax
JUNEAU— The new federal
tax an liquor, as well as many
other luxury items, may be passed
on to the consumer, the Terri
torial Office of Price Stabilization
said this week. The taxes are due
to go into effect November 1.
The liquor tax was included
among several other revenue
raising measures passed by Con
gress in the closing days of the
session last week.
The OPS said dealers may pass
along the tax according to their
own pricing method. If they are
still using the dollar-and-cent
markup system first required by
OPS Regulation 9, they may pass
on to the customer the actual
amount of the tax. If they use
a percentage system of pricing
merchandise, they may apply
their percentage to the increased
landed cast of the liquor, inclu
ding the tax.
OPS reminded, however, that
all liquor dealers who wish to
change from the dollar-and-cent
to the percentage method must
first notify the OPS that they
have elected to use the percentage
system.
Enforcemenl Director Named —
JUNEAU— George N. Apostol,
who has been assistant attorney
general of Alaska since April, has
been appointed enforcement dir
ector for the Office of Price Sta
bilization. The announcement was
made last week by Fred G. Han
ford, Territorial OPS Director.
Apostol will head investigation
and enforcement activities for
OPS for the entire Territory. He
expects to build a staff of eight
or ten special agents.
“Our plan for the time being
is to work with and assist the
merchants in complying with reg
ulations,” Apostol said. “In due
time, of course, it may be nec
essary to bring action against
willful violators.”
Apostal received his B.A. de
gree from Gonzaga University in
Spokane. He was in private prac
tice in Omak, Wash., and Seattle
until he came to Alaska in April
to work with Territorial Attor
ney General J. Gerald Williams.
He is married and has three chil
dren.
‘‘I have enjoyed working with
the attorney general’s office and
was reluctant to make the
change,” Apostol said. He added
that federal civil service advan
tages prompted his decision.
