Abbott also cautioned that it
would be “inadvisable” for the
public to “form conclusions as to
what action would be taken until
an o f f i cial announcement is
made.” •
He gave no indication when
that might be expected.
Putting the Canadian dollar
back to virtual or full parity with
its U. S. cousin might mean a drop
in living costs for Canadian con
sumers because imports from
America would be cheaper. Also,
some Dominion commodities now
sold to America because of the
greater value of the U. S. dollar
may be made available to Cana
dians at lower prices.

west side of Nome Harbor jetty
goes to Lt. Roy Adams and his
crew from the Heavy Equipment
Department of the Air Installation
Department, which included Sgts.
Andrews, Lynch and Wooford,

Facts About YOLK
National Guard
(Continued from Page One)
Ohio River Valley in 1754.
During the Revolutionary War,
the Charles City-Henrico Coun
ties Regiment was commanded by
Colonel Patrick Henry, and later
its Commander was Lieutenant
Colonel John Marshall.
These few examples of the vol
untary local organizations which
were forerunners of today’s Na
tional Guard illustrate the princi
ple of civilian service, recognized
by George Washington when he
told the first Congress:
“ . . . every citizen who enjoys
the protection of a free gov
ernment owes not only a par
tion of his property but even
of his personal services to the
defense of it.”
Your local unit of the National
Guard is the 1st Scout Battalion
of the Alaska National Guard,
with headquarters located oppo
site the Federal Building in Nome.
Yo uare cordially invited to drop
in and discuss the part that you
can play in YOUR local unit.
OLE HAY FAMILY TO DEPART
SOON FOR THE STATES
Mr. and Mrs. Ole Hay, pioneer
residents of Nome and past presi
dents of the Pioneers of Alaska
and Women's Auxiliary, are plan
ning to depart this week for the
States.
Mr. Hay, who has been here
with the U. S. Smelting Co., since
about 1924, is retiring. He came to
Alaska during the gold rush days
and spent some time in the Ruby
district as ‘well as around Fair
banks before coming to Nome
when the Pioneer Co., interests
were taken over by the U. S.
Smelting Co.
It is understood that the Hays
will take a real vacation before
settling down someplace in the
Pacific Northwest. They will visit
with their daughter Olga who is a
freshman at the Washington State
College in Pullman, Washington,
and might even drive to Wash
ington, D. C.
Their son Eric Hay and wife are
remaining to make their home in
Nome and with the U. S. Smelting
Co. !

Upped Income
Taxes Start Today
WASHINGTON, {/P)—'The gov
ernment is taking a deeper bite
out of all paychecks from now on.
New federal income tax with
holding rates went into effect yes-/
terday. That means more than 25,
000,000 American workers will
find the with-holding taxes taken
out of their next paychecks about
a fifth greater.
The bigger “take” from pay
checks is needed to keep taxpay
ers on a pay-as-you-go basis un
der the tax boosts voted by Con
gress to provide money for the
country’s big defense build-up.
Individual income taxes were
raised by an estimated $2,700,000,
000 a year. Taxes on corporations
were also hiked.
