On Sales Tax
ANCHORAGE, (/P) — The city
council has okayed a proposal to

NOME HIGH BESTS
STATESIDE COMMANDOS
Saturday evening the Nome
High School played an army team
who called themselves the State
side Commandos with the audi
torium packed with spectators.
Even the stage was filled with
basketball fans.
The army team surprised ev
eryone by turning up in costume
and fancy make-up, some even
coming on the floor with long old
fashioned underwear.
Part of the game was played
with all seriousness but at times
the visiting team did a bit of bur
lesquing to the enjoyment of the
audience.
The final score was in favor of
the High School 58-34.
Playing on the Nome team were
Hudert, Hall, Felder, Willoya and
Akalik. Subs were Sahlin, Bowan;
Okpealuk and Kost.
The visiting team called them
selves Dean, Ben, Davidson, Abe
and Joe. Even the umpire took
turns with one of the players and
ten minutes extra was played be
fore time was called.
Potters of ancient times always
secured the best possible designs
for their tiles, since once in posi
tion the tiles could not be hidden
or easily removed but served as
an enduring record of the crafts
man’s skill.

Hiring Halls
SEATTLE, (vP) — A steamship
company executive said last week
the union hiring hall is the most
efficient method of obtaining
workmen.
The statement was made by J.
F. Zumdieck, operating manager
of the Alaska Steamship com
pany, at a national labor relations
board hearing. Charges of unfair
labor practices against the con
cern, two other companies and
the National Union of Marine
Cooks & Stewards (CIO) were be
ing aired.
Zumdieck said the union hiring
hall was especially effective for
last minute replacements of crew
members. He said it did not make
for efficient operation to have
members of two unions employed
in the same department aboard
ship.
The complaints charge the un
ion and the companies discrimin
ated against members of the rival
Pacific Marine Stewards Union
(AFL). The board said the hear
ing would be moved to San Fran
cisco this week for additional tes
timony. The American Mail Line.
Ltd., and Pope & Talbot, Inc., also
were named in the complaints.
Sunspots are rarely seen near
the poles of the sun.
