Details of First
Liquor Bill Put
By Rivers
> J i
This session's first liquor bill
made its appearance before the
13th Legislature, being introduc
ed in the Senate by Senator Vic
tor C. Rivers, of the Fourth Di
vision.
The measure provides for stat-'
utory control of liquor in the Ter
ritory based on the present regu
lations of the Liquor Board, and
amends the 1935 statute which
left the handling of liquor entire
ly up to the Board.
Under the Rivers bill the Liq
uor Board would be limited to
three members—the Treasurer,
Auditor and Attorney General—
the Governor and Highway Engi
neer being left off. It provides
! for the issuance of licenses as at
present under the same designa
tions and provides for a strip tax
on all liquors at the following
rates: Five cents per gallon on
malted brews; 15 cents a gallon
on liquor up to 19 per cent alco
hol and one dollar a gallon on all
liquors over 19 per cent.
Senator Rivers said he estimat
ed the tax under his proposed
rates would virtually double the
revenue to the Territory on hard
liquors.
Local option is provided for on
a 50 per cent basis of the resi
dents of a community demanding.
Enforcement is more general. In
stead of four enforcement officers
as provided for under the present
system, all Marshals, deputies &
! other law enforcement bodies
. would be entrusted with enforc
: ing the statute. As at present, no
sale of hard liquor by the glass
would be permitted.
Advertising in the Nome Nug
, get can be a paying investment.

Week ending Jan. 29th.
Student Body Party
Friday evening the second
student body party of the year
got under way with music and
merrymaking. Games were play
ed until about 9:30 when the or
chestra which had kindly donated
its services for the evening, arriv
ed and dancing began.
Delicious ice cream and cake
prepared by the Homemaking i
Class was served in the assembly
room. The climax of the evening
was the arrival of Mr. and Mrs.
Jerry Lomen and their bridal
party. Bride and groom were
greeted with applause and con
gratulations on all sides. A large
wedding cake was cut by Mrs.
Lomen and served to the guests,
many of whom carefully carried
a piece home to try the time-hon
ored Superstitution of sleeping
with a piece of wedding cake
under the pillow.
Committees responsible for the
affair were as follows:
Entertainment: Harold Berg
Harry Lewis, Ann Walsh.
Refreshment: Tom Martin, Char
les Lewis, Lincoln Ost.
Ice Cream: Stan Amarok, Bud
Cunningham, Fred Waid, Lee
Reat, Ernest Burgh, Martin Will,
oya, Norvin Lewis.
Baseball Game
In their first public game the
High School Girls proved that
they were no mean hands at
handling a baseball. Last Wed
nesday night’s game with the
Married Women resulted in a
sweeping victory for the High
School. The Martin-Nelson batt
ery combination was clicking
smoothly and with the rest of
the team backing them up with
swift efficiency, the Married Wo.
men were only able to get around
five times while the hard-hitt
ing Huskiettes knocked out a
score of 19.
Physical Examinations
Many of the children of the
school took advantage of the free
dental examination given by Dr.
H. G. Hughes. Such an examina
tion is indeed excellent, for min.
or tooth troubles which, when dis
covered early, are easily rem
edied, may become serious if ne
glected.
Dr. Morcom, with Miss Nel.
son’s assistance, is giving a thor
ough physcial examination to all
pupils in the school.
Work In Gym
The work of putting battens
on the celotex joints of the gym
ceiling is proceeding rapidCy.
When these battens are put on it
is expected that the building will
be more easily and economically
heated. The work in the class
rooms was expected to be com
pleted Saturday night so as not
to interfere with school routine.
When the ceiling of the gym is
finished the other basketball
backstop will be put up and bask,
etball practice will begin in ear
nest.
Mid-year exams have come and
gone, and students may be heard
offering prayers of thanksgiving
that semester tests come only
once a year, also a few very fer
vent ones that they passed in
Geometry, Physics, or what have
you.
Catcher Af.lan Lee of hte Husk,
ies and Dick Lee Huskie Second
Baseman, were called to Solo
mon and expect to return only
a day or two before the approach
ing Huskie-Hammon game. Mean
time Stan Amarok is working
hard in anticipation of a possible
busy evening behind the plate.
Basketball practice has start,
ed, the N. A. C. using the gym
from seven to eight Thursday ev
enings. It is probable that when
the baseball series is over, a bask
etball league wlil be organized.
The Homemaking Class spon
sored an ice cream sale at the
baseball game last Wednesday,
serving vanilla, chocolate and
strawberry cones, and took in a
| goodly sum of money which wlil
be spent for supptties. The girls
| have started blouses this week
I
as a major sewing project.
The High School Manual Train,
ing Class is hard at work on the
individual projects. Dick Mar
graf has started an end table.
Stan Amarok’s writing desk is
completed and is an excellent

Scout News
With the approach of the Fair
many of the Boy Scouts are think
ing up things to make for it. So
far nothing has been determined.
The boys have been looking ov
er the First and Second Class
badges and waiting impatiently
for the time when they can wear
them. It may not be so long at
that, since there will soon be an
other Court of Honor. A number
of them hope to receive their
Second Class badges then.
