Land Recorder
Authorized to
Collect Penalty
Based upon the experience
gained in making the collection
of the $5,00 penalty for late filing
of property owners’ Statements
of Ownership under the Alaska
Registration law of 1953, W. A.
Chipperfield, Land Commission
er said this week he believes that
property owners will be better
served if they pay the $5.00 pen
alty to the Recorder at the time,
they submit their statement for
filing. Under the present system
the property owner generally has
to await the receipt from the of
fice of the Territorial Depart
ment of Lands of the notice of
$5.00 penalty for late filing and
does not understand why it was
not collected at the time of filing
at the Recorder’s office, Chipper
field said.
The Recorders have been very
cooperative with the Department
of Lands, he stated, in connection
with their part of the filing State
ments of Ownership and forward
ing the originals. Chipperfield
asked further cooperation with
the collection of the penalty and
authorized Recorders to act as
collecting agents of the Depart
ment for the purpose of collect
ing the penalty. The authoriza
tion is effective at once.
Property owners who submit
statements for late filing and will
not pay the late filing penalty
will be informed that they will
receive a formal notice of penal
ty from the Lands office. If the
penalty is not paid within the
period specified by the Act, it.
will constitute a lien against the
property and subject to foreclos
ure as provided for by the Act.
Many Recorders have been con
fronted with the question as to
who should make the filing of
property, Chipperfield said. Pro
perty that is in probate should
be filed by the administrator of
the estate, he said. Property iQ
escrow or under contract of sale
should be filed by the owner to
whom the last deed for it was
issued. When the transaction is
completed the purchaser should
file another statement as owner
and it should be considered a
transation of the current year
and not subject to the penalty for
late filing. Persons who acquire
title to property during the cur
rent year should file ownership
statement on or before Decem
ber 31, 1954.

By Marylou Rideout
It is rhubarb time again, bu
do you have the Extension bulle
tin “Rhubarb, cultivation, fooc
value and preservation?” Thirty
two recipes! Requirement for ah
tasty foods—don’t overcook. This
applies to rhubarb. Just untiJ
tender, pieces should hold theii
shape, not like mush. For rhu
barb sauce, 1 quart cut-up rhu
barb, cook until tender, remove
from heat add 1 cup sugar, V&
cup red hots (cinnamon candies),
Red hots add a different flavor
an red color. To your favorite
rhubarb pie recipe, add % tea
spoons nutmeg. Delicious! Ex
tension Service also has a good
‘rhubarb conserve” recipe. A fine
way to use rhubarb in combina
tion with dried peaches or apri
cots and crushed pineapple. Stop
in and get your copy. And if you
haven’t seen the Extension Ser
vice new quarters, it’s about time
you did. Now we have room for
everything, but as yet, every
thing isn't quite in its right
place.
Children (or even adults) and
ice cream cores or ice cream on
a stick, are all happy combina
tions in the good old summer
time! But once in awhile the ice
cream gets out of control and
slides down a freshly laundered
dress or drops on a little boy’s
Sunday suit. In such an unfortun
ate event, it is well to heed the
textile chemist’s advice on treat
ing the stain. Ice cream stain
contains milk or cream, sugar,
sometimes egg and sometimes
coloring. To remove a fresh stain
from washable material, sponge
the garment with cold or luke
warm water and then wash in
warm soapsuds. This works if the
ice cream contains no highly col
ored fruit or chocolate.
On material that is^not wash
able, sponge with a commercial
cleaning fluid to remove the
greasy part of the stain. Follow
directions on the bottle. Use it
out of doors or in a well-ventil
ated room for the fumes may be
toxic. Let the fabric dry, "then
sponge with cold water to re
move any stains from the egg and
sugar in the ice cream.
If the stain is not removed com
pletely, follow with a pepsin
treatent. You can buy pepsin at
the drug store. First sponge the
stain with cold water, the sprink
le pepsin on the dampened stain
and let it stand for half an hour.
Brush it off and rinse the spot
veil. For best results, be sure
the material is free from soap
and other alkali before applying
he pepsin.
