Amended Ceiling Price
Regulations Being Mailed
JUNEAU, OPA— Copies o£ the
amended Ceiling Price Regulation
9, Alaska’s retail sales regulation,
are now being mailed to husiness
m e n, the Territorial Office of
Price Stabilization said this week.
Over 1,500 businesses are affec
ted by the regulation, Fred G.
Hanford, Territorial Director, said.
Major changes in the price con
trol regulation will allow mer
chants to use percentages in deter
mining their prices rather than
the former dollar-and-eent meth
od if they choose.
The law now requires that re
tail merchants covered by CPR 9
mark or tag all items with the sell
ing price, and also that such stores
prominently display a sign read
ing “The prices of merchandise in
this store are no higher than the
O.P.S. ceiling prices of the arti
cles.” The sign must be posted,
and all articles tagged or marked,
by September 30.
Along with the regulations them-!
selves, the O.P.S. is mailing a
mimeographed sheet explaining
the requirements in simplified
terms, Hanford said. !
Navy Scientific Expedition
Finds Mile-High Mountain
In Gulf of Alaska
SAN DIEGO, (JP)—The research
vessel Horizon returned here yes
terday from a two-month scien
tific expedition, during which a
mile-high mountain was discov
ered in the Gulf of Alaska.
Equipped with the latest oceano
graphic equipment, the party sur
veyed the virtually uncharted
area of the North Pacific between
the Aleutian Islands and the San
Francisco-Hawaii steamer lanes.
The University of California’s
Scripps Institution of Oceano
graphy cooperated with the Navy
Electronics Laboratory here. The
office of Naval research sponsored
the expedition.
John D. Isaacs, scientific leader
of the 7,000-mile expedition, said
the previously unreported moun
tain is approximately one mile
beneath the surface of the sea. It
is approximately three miles wide.
The Horizon’s voyage was an
extension of expeditions which
last year discovered and surveyed
the submerged Mid-Pacific Moun
tain Range, west of Hawaii.

SCHOOL NEWS
By OLAF HALVERSON
The first meeting of the student
body of the Nome High School was
held in the assembly hall on Fri
day, Sept. 21 at 3 p.m. The new
president, Clarence Willoya, pre
sided at the meeting. In the ab
sence of a secretary, the minutes
of the last meeting were read by
the treasurer, Lawrence Okpealuk.
The minutes of the previous meet
ing were interesting because they
related the closing events of grad
uation and the annual picnic.
%
The constitution of the student
body was read for the freshmen
students and others who are newly
enrolled. One of the objectives of
the organization, according to the
constitution, is to promote student
activities; to encourage coopera
tion and good fellowship among
students; to learn the fundamental
principles of parliamentary law;
and to develop leadership.
A new secretary had to be voted
upon in that Clara Brown, who
was elected last year, is now at
tending school at Kodiak, Alaska.
Students voted by secret ballot
after nominations for three possi
ble candidates. Lolita Havercamp
was elected secretary. It was de
cided to postpone the voting on
semester dues to the next regular
meeting.
Students in English II have
completed a unit study on prose
narratives. One of these narra
tives was “The Pit and the Pendu
lum,” written by Edgar Allan Poe.
They are now starting a study of
short poems.
The United States history class
has been studying about the early
colonies and the French and In
dian Wars. They are now begin
ning the study of the American
Revolution. On Friday, they give
oral reports on current events.
