and return to the mainland oi
more than 120,000 Army men anc
women in the three months’ pe
; riod ended January 7.
Every day he meets some for
mer pupil bound for the main
land. One soldier said: “If I hac
not been through your first schoo
on the way to Okinawa, I doubl
that I could have made this ont
—on my way home.”

won him the Legion of Merit.

Stabilization
Administrator
Advancement of OPA’s Chester
| Bowles to the post of Stabilization
Administrator under a broad and
|
direct executive order which gives
him the final word in all ques
tions affecting stabilization, and 1
appointment of Paul Porter,
j strong “hold-the-line" running
mate as Price Administrator, is
deemed a smashing victory for
national OPA. according to Mrs. I
Mildred R. Hermann. Alaska OPA
Director, who has just received
an official statement of the new
lineup by direct wire.
With this extension of Bowles’
previous authority as Price Ad
ministrator—where he held no
authority over wage increases, al
I locations of raw materials, prior
1 ities, subsidies and other vital ele
j ments in the stabilization picture
j —the new team will make a far
stronger combination than Bowles
could be alone, Mrs. Hermann ex

TOM STRAND TELLS
WOLF STORY
Tom Strand, fo Fairbanks, is
proudly telling his friends a real
, wolf story these days. His two
| daughters, aged 17 and 11 were
out on a trap line near Ferry
when they encountered four
wolves. Both girls had rifles and
had the presence of mind to shoot
all four wolves. The last was
killed within 15 feet of the young
i est girl. The girls then proceeded
j to skin the animals and bring
I them into town.
CEILING PRICES ON
NYLON HOSE POSTED
In anticipation of increasing
stocks of nylon hose, which al
ready have begun to trickle into
the Territory and which are ex
pected to appear on the market
in some quantity sometime in the
near future, the Alaska Office of
Price Administration announced
today retailers’ pricing order No.
1-4, to Alaska’s Revised Maxi
mum Pricing Regulation 194.
As in the case of rayon hose,
the regulation requires that the
ceiling price be plainly marked on
each pair of nylon hose, where it
can be checked readily by the
purchaser, OPA advised.
Some 250 pounds of roses are
' needed to make a single ounce of
attar of roses, according to Ency
i clopaedia Britannica. This means
that several acres of land yield
only that small quantity of the
perfume.
