Canadian Govt.
Will Continue Aid
To Gold Miners
OTTAWA. </P)—Resources min
ister Colin Gibson announced to
day the government will continue
its subsidy assistance to gold mines
until the end of 1949 despite de
valuation of the Canadian dollar.
In 1950, he told the House of
Commons, the aid will be reduced
by $3.50 -an ounce, the amount of
the increase in price caused by de
valuation.
Gibson said the government has
decided against the argument that
the gold mining assistance act’s
aid to mines, pased on produc
tion, should be eliminated now
that devaluation has raised the
price from $35 to $38.50 an ounce.
The average bonus was around
$3.50 an ounce, with some mines
getting only 50 cents and some the
maximum of $16 an ounce in sub
sidy.
The act had originally been put
into effect for three years, he said,
and some mines had based pro
duction on this policy and it would
be "unfair” to them to discontinue
it.
The subsidy scheme runs out at
the end of 1950.
Sweden prides itself on being
the oldest regularly constituted
state in Europe.
NOME LITTLE THEATER
GROUP TO ORGANIZE
The Nome Little Theater group
j is scheduled to meet Tuesday eve
ning for an organizational meeting
' to start a local group interested in
j dramatics. The group is fortunate
i in having Virginia Busko to start
it off as she has had experience in
| the organizing of the Anchorage
Little Theater which has proved
so successful.
The group is planned to include
talent from both civilian- and
army personnel and has the full
endorsement and backing of the
officials at Marks Field.
Anyone interested in being a
charter member whether as an ac
tor or in other capacities neces
sary for the organization are cor
dially invited to be at the Service
Club tomorrow evening at eight
thirty.
Some estimates place losses
from worthless checks in the U. S.
as high as $300,000,000 a year.
Palmer Considers
Mixing Native And
W liite Scholars
'Continued from Page One*
rolled in the Palmer school.
A.N.S. has insisted it must have
assurance of no racial discrimina
tion and of added vocational train
ing in school. Expressions of opin
ion have been solicited from all
local organizations. The issue also
will be discussed at a general pub
lic meeting Oct. 4.
There is considerable opposition
to taking the children into the
Palmer school. The Valley Cham
ber of Commerce, while lacking a
quorum, approved the resolution
of endorsement Wednesday by
only a one-vote margin. The
Grange and P-T.A. tabled the mat
ter without voting on it.
