Canadian Manufacturers
Boost Price Newsprint
By $10 to $126 Per Ton
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Price Sta
bilizer Ellis Arnall said Friday the
Canadian government has indi
cated it will approve a $10 per
ton increase in the price of news
print. The boost was requested by
Canadian manufacturers.
Arnall said the increase would
go into effect June 15, boosting
the price of newsprit from Can
ada, delivered in New York, to
$126 a ton, and is the second in
crease by Canadian manufactur
ers within a year. About 90 per
cent of the £aper used by Am
• erican publishers is imported
from Canada.
In Ottawa, Canadian exporters
complained to the government
that the rise of the Canadian dol
lar from a discount of almost 10
per cent to almost two per cent
above par, has reduced their re
turns in Canadian funds by about
$10 a ton. The price was boosted
$10 a ton last July.
The last boost caused so much
controversy between the two
countries that Canada finally ag
reed to consult with the United
States before any further in
creases were granted.

Two Judges Cast
Only Votes In 2nd
Division Precinct
JUNEAU, May 12—If there is
a territorial law applicable to an
election situation which has arisen
in the Second Division, Attorney
General J. Gerald Williams had
been unable to find it this morn
ing.
But Williams said he would
need more information before he
could satisfy an inquiry contained
in a letter from Norrvin W. Lewis,
clerk of the court in the Second
Division.
Lewis reported that in Utica
Voting Precinct only two votes
were cast in the primary election.
They were east “by the election
board of two who represented the
same party.” Lewis wanted to
know whether the election was
legal, whether the votes should
be counted and whether the judg
es should be paid for their work.
In considering the question Wil
liams said he could see no reason
offhand • why the judges should
not be paid. But he said a legal
election board has three mem
bers, only two of which may be
members of the same party.
The decision may hinge on
whether the two judges were
members of a panel of three, one
of whom, for some reason, was
unable to serve.
Territorial law provides for es
tablishment of precincts when 30
or more voters are included, Wil
liams said, but makes no specific
provision for abolishing precincts
when the count falls below that
figure.

Mountjoy and Uncle Sam
Partners in Nenana Pool
**Lady Luck sure laughed out
loud this time !”
This was Charles R. Mountjoy’s
light-hearted response when he
was asked how it feels to be the
only person to guess correctly the
break-up time of the Tanana.
River ice.
*
When the ice went out in the riv
er Monday, 5:04 p.m., both Mount
joy and Uncle Sam became happy
—mighty happy.
Last year 17 persons guessed
the time of the breakup. But
Mountjcry’s only partner will be
Uncle Sam.
Still somewhat dazed by his
• |
stroke of fortune, Mountjoy said
he picked May 12 because it is
his sister’s birthday, but he does
n’t know why he picked the time
of 5:04.
In four years in Alaska, Mount
joy has made three guesses on the
spring breakup times of the Tan
ana River ice.

“Am I
supposed to be
glad you’re big?”
Many people write us such comments as
this: "Fue heard people talk against big
companies like you. Lately Vve been read
ing your statements about bigness. Am I
supposed to be glad you're big?'9
The answer to this question depends on
your answer to certain others. Some people
have come to feel that bigness itself may
be bad. Consider the good that comes from
this same bigness.
Do you like a bargain? You’re getting one in
gasoline. Except for taxes, gasoline today costs
just about what it did in 1925. (And it’s better
gas; 2 gallons now do work that then took 3.)
Why? Largely because of competition among big
oil companies.
Do you like new and better things? Standard
has spent over $35,000,000 on research and tech
nical service in the last 5 years, developing new
or improved products, and new raw materials
for other companies. Yet only when allowed to
grow big, by serving you better, can we take on
the work and risk involved.
Do you want to keep your country strong?
It takes big companies to back our fighting men
and keep defense goods in full supply. Standard
is at work for our government on aviation gaso
lines, atomic research, synthetic rubber, and
other vital projects.
Are you glad you have the conveniences of
this “machine age?” They depend heavily on oiL
You’re assured an ample supply of oil by the en
terprise of big companies like Standard. We seek
out new crude reserves, in this country and
abroad, with exploration that may coet million
before the first gallon is found.
V , * -"i** * •
Obviously, there are countless ways to express the benefits you gain by our bigness...
countless questions we could ask, to which you’d probably answer “yes” just as readily.
And if you like the things that bigness brings, then you can be glad we’re big.
