DAVID MERCERS RETURN
FROM STATES' TRIP
Mr. and Mrs. David Mercer of
the C.A.A., have returned from a
vacation trip to the States, during
which time they logged 9,500
miles on their new car.
They went down the California
coast and then crossed over the
country to Iowa and returned to
the west.
While looking at an Indian ex
hibit from Casa Grande in Ari
zona, Mrs. Mercer talked to an
other bystander, only to find out
that she was talking to a former
Nomeite, Mrs. Lalley, who had re
married enroute out from Nome,
to a lawyer and is now Mrs. Co
valt. She was very interested in
Nome and her« former friends.
The Mercer’s, whose hobby is
taking colored slides, have many
new pictures to add to their col
lection, which is one of the finest
in town.
Maxine Evans, nurse for the
ANS at White Mountain, who has
been attending the Nurse Institute
at Anchorage is visiting in town
for a few days for dental work be
for returning to White Mountain.

New Air Agreement
WASHINGTON (Ah—A new air
agreement with Canada gives the
United States commercial connec
tions on the routes over Canada
to Europe and the Orient.
Signed over the week-end with

gives Canada a direct route be

service operated up to now only
by Colonial.
Sigmund Janas, Colonial’s pres
ident, said the agreement is a fi
nancial blow to his company. He
indicated an appeal to Congress.
The agreement gives this coun- j

Gander, Newfoundland, a jump- i

Alaska and the Orient. Continua-'

damage suffered in the pre-dawn
crash in a fog off the Delaware
coast yesterday. Two members of
the crew were injured.
Meanwhile the Hellenic Beach

Rescind Armed
Forces “Gag” Rule
WASHINGTON, (Ah—The mili
ary establishment has rescinded
its controversial “Directive No. 1“
which reminded all armed forces
officials of security regulations in
connection with public speeches
or interviews.
The order had been interpreted
in some quarters as a “gag” rule
to prevent officials of the armed
forces from freely expressing
their individual views.
William Frye, public relations
director for defense secretary
Johnson, issued the cancelling or
der. Frye said that because the in
formation divisions and the secur
ity review branches of the armed
forces now are being consolidated
the directive is no longer required.
Barber Jailed
For New Haircut
PASADENA, Calif. </P) — Jim
Butler is wearing his hat at work
today and his barber is in jail
charged with drunkenness.
Police gave this account:
Frank Cotton cut Butler’s hair
between hiccups and it turned out
to be one of the wierdest haircuts
yet.
Next Cotton picked up a straight
razor and wanted to shave Butler.
“That.” screamed Butler, “is
enough for me.”
He leaped from the chair, towel
and all, and hailed a nearby cop.
