Psyche, white Alaska husky,
has produced eight husky pups for
the University officials to choose
from.
Failing to find a suitable husky
mascot in the past, the University
decided to transport a female dog
over 1600 miles from Fairbanks
to be mated with world-famed
husky dog, Ricky, in Seattle. That
was two months ago. Ricky and
Psyche are now proud parents of
a litter of eight husky pups, six
male and two female.
Now the problem is to choose
which pup wil be the mascot. Ted
Isaacson, president of the Wash
ington Quarterbacks of the Uni
versity of Washinntog will act as
chairman of the event when the
mascot is selected, but has not de
cided as yet when the selection
will be made.
Psyche and five of the pups will
be flown back to their owner,
Frank Lawson of Fairbanks, as
soon as the pups can be weened.
They will then be trained to fol
low 'their mother's footsteps and
Merchants May
Adjust Prices On
Air-Shipped Goods
The Alaska OPA took official
action this week to relief of the1
squeeze on those of the Territory’s
merchants who are caught be
tween higher-than-customary
shipping costs and OPA ceiling
prices on goods that they are hav
ing flown in during the present
shipping crisis.
Until the first boat following
the strike settlement, this emer
gency price adjustment provision
will remain in effect, stated OPA,
in announcing their approval of
adding to selling prices the addi- j
tional cost of getting goods into
Alaska in spite of our strike
bound situation.
Merchants are being instructed
as to records they should keep on
merchandise received by air or
other non-customary means. Also
required is appropriate marking
on price tags or sales slips to in
form purchasers as to the amount
i added to regular ceiling prices un
der this provision.
Alaska merchants have done a
remarkable job of supplying their
customers’ needs with the Terri
tory almost compeltely cut off
from outside markets since Sept,
i 5, OPA pointed out, and should
have every possible consideration,
price-wise, in their efforts to
maintain a flow of supplies to
Alaska regardless.
Price officials explain that this!
emergency provision for adjust-!
ment of prices to Include addi
tional shipping costs will provide
the customary margin of profit to
retailers and facilitate the prob-1
lem of getting meat, flour, short
ening and other perishable and
basic foods into Alaska towns
where critical shortages on some
of these items were developing
due to the prolonged transporta
tion shut-off from supply sources.
become racing team dogs. Two of
the pups will stay with Lt. Comdr.
F. G. Dustin, owner of the male
dog. Ricky.
Latest event on the social calen
dar for Psyche and family was at
