Don’t Raise Rates |
- : i
FAIRBANKS, (/P)—The princi-j
pal hotel owners in this over- j
crowded city agreed today not to
raise rates for either permanent,
guests or transients, despite the
easing of rent restrictions in the
States and jumps in rates there.
The numerous new arrivals,:
however, who number from 20 to
50 daily, have complained that
owners of private homes and op
erators of transient dormitories
were “cashing in,” even before the
restrictions were lifted.
Many of the new arrivals apply
for work after a few days with
civilian contractors at Ladd Field
and Twenty-Six Mile, admitting
openly that was the only way
they could find places to sleep.
1 The contractors have their own
barracks type quarters on and
near military reservations.
The quarries at Carrara, Italy,
are as old as Christianity.

Miller to Nome. We hope that
they enjoy their stay. T/Sgt.
“Trigger” Sta rzy k and Sgt.
“Chinch” Divers have returned
from a well earned leave and are
once more busy at their important
duties. To the b«ys who knew
S/Sgt. and Mrs. Ware, we would
like for them to know that they
are both doing nicely at Langley
Field, Virginia, Sgt. Ware’s new
assignment.
Sgt. Till finally succeeded in
getting the big fish, that always
got away, in the frying pan at
last. Tales vary as to its size, but
anyway it made several MP fish
ermen a good feast. Mixed with
fried mosquitoes it was really a
delicacy. Tiny certainly seems to
be a real handy man around the
Service Club. During some of nis
weaker moments he has contrib
uted his spare time in helping
Miss Carroll re-finish the interior
of the Service Club.
Soon to leave the loving care of
Hq. Det. is T/5 Juan “Poncho”
Saldivar—Snack Bar doughnut
and hamburger king. Good luck
with that big fence you intend to
build ’round Texas, Poncho. Re
cently, several Hq. Pfc’s made a
frantic effort to locate black
thread and Corporal stripes. With
everything lined up and ready to
use, they are still waiting to
i thread their needles dnd get to
work.
The QM Det. seems to be pick
ing up in the sports department,
due to the defeat of the Headquar
ters team last Sunday afternoon.
It was an extremely windy, dustv
afternoon as everyone came back
black and in need of plenty of
soap and water. All we need now
is to beat the Engineers and we’ll
be right up there near the top, for
the team looks pretty good for
the amount of practice it gets.
Monday morning the Signal Det
got up feeling very gay because it
was pay day. That feeling was
soon changed to sorrow, because
we soon learned that we were not
getting paid. Though it was
j through no fault of our’s we had
signed the carbon copy of the pay
roll and it was not accepted at An
chorage, so this week we are
spending, not money mind you,
but the usual time.
We are still awaiting the out
come of the trip into the country
side by Sgts. Whitehead and
i Harshberger, who have been gone
| from our humble AACS abode
about six days now. We hope the
! notorious Alaskan mosqui toes
have not carried them back to the
States. We have quite a few of the
lads taking up the USAFI courses
j in quest of that wondrous thing
j called knowledge that so few peo
ple seem to possess fully these

spent most of their nights, a while

The court deferred sentence un-!

ARCHIE FERGUSAN SIGHTS
AIRPLANE WRECKAGE
Archie Ferguson, while flying
about fifteen miles north of Kotze
bue sighted plane wreckage which
i is believed to be part of the Alas
ka Airlines plane which was lost
last fall with Pilot Norman Wea
ver. A mail sack and bits of the
leading edge of one wing have
also been found on the beach near
there, apparently brought to the
surface with the movement of the
ice during the spring break-up.
Archie notified the C.A.A. who
went to the spot and although they
spotted the sunken wreckage from
the air, were unable to locate it
by boat. They will continue
searching, leaving floating mark
ers in hope of finding the body of
Norman Weaver.
Pilot Don Travis of the Alaska
Airlines is assisting in the salvage
which is being handled by the
Kotzebue Sound Lighterage Co.
Mrs. Jessie Paterson, a teacher
at Kotzebue, aunt of the missing
man, has requested that the body,
if found, be brought to Nome.
Investigation brought out the
information that Norman Weaver
fell from a truck the same day of
the accident last fall and was
momentarily knocked uncon
scious, This might have led to a
head injury which caused his
death, it is believed.
