OPS WAT;NS OF INCREASES
IN DRINK PRICES con'td. '
"Any arbitrary in
crease of 5 or 10 dents
a drink is likely to bo
in violation of ceiling
prices
Apostol pointed out,
however, that if bars
show an increase in ' .:
their liquor costs dur
ing any four-month per
iod, they may adjust
their prices to be with
in their liquor-cost
ratio at the end of
their period. There is
little likelihood, he
said, that the recent
tax increase of 26 to 30
cents a fifth could be
reflected in a 5 or 10
cent increase in drinks.

FORT YUKON--Hallowe'en

Fan-American Airways
delivered two dozen
yellow pumpkins in time
for the witches' niTht
festivities. Most of
the kids had never seen !
a. pumpkin boforo, and
wore really excited.
The whole idea was
started by B.A. Gillam,
who operates the Neva
da Kid Stores at Fair
banks, llpO milos south
of Fort Yukon. He wir
ei Pacific Fruit in
Seattle to ship the
pumpkins at his expense.
It seem some Fort Yukon
kids had written him a
touching letter about
getting hold of a few
pumpkins.
But the children re
ceived the jack-o-lant
ern material without
cost to Gillam. Pacif
ic Fruit donated them,
and Fan-Amorican Air
ways flew the pumpkins
to Fort Yukon without
charge••
Self Deduction.
A boss had to lay off
Fat. To avoid argument,
he put the discharge in
writing. A week later
he saw Pat back at his
job. Going to the
Irishman, he demanded
fiercely:
"Didn't you get my
letter?"
"Yis, sur. Oi did,"
said Pat.
"Didn't you read it?"
"Sure Oi read it in
side and outside. On
the inside ye said I
was fired and on the
outside ye said ’Re
turn to the Spoocly
Transfer Company in
five days."
