Prtee Control
Bemoved on Many
Sales and Services
JUNEAU—Price controls were
removed Thursday from Alaska
restaurants, the Office of Price
Stabilization announced. The ac
tion closely followed decontrol of
restaurant prices in the States.
Fred G. Handford, Territorial
O. P. S. director, said the move
was in accord with President
Eisenhower’s directive that con
trols be removed in an orderly
manner.
Gasoline and other related pro
ducts were removed from con
trols the week before! An excep
tion in this line, however, was
No. two heating oil. Ceiling price
remain in effect on this last-nam
ed item.
Retail services formerly subject
to Ceiling Price Regulation 34
are now decontrolled with the ex
ception of laundry, dry cleaning
and diaper and linen supply ser
vices.
Price controls still are in effect
on dairy products, Hanford said.
Consumer soft goods, such as
clothing, are still under control
but consumer durable goods are
largely decontrolled with the fol
lowing exceptions: Refrigerators,
home and farm freezers, dish
washers, ranges, washers, driers,1
ironers and water heaters.

SCIENTISTS FIND
NEW RINGWORM
CURE FOR CATTLE
According to Arthur L. Brun
dage, dairy husbandman at the
tlaska Agricultural Experiment
Station, the usual iodine and am
; noniated mercury treatments
ordinarily recommended for ring
vorm in cattle proved inadequate
during a recent outbreak. Amon
iated mercury was completely in
effectual on this particular spec
ies of ringworm. Five percent tin
cture of iodine required many
painful, time-consuming applica
tions and caused considerable tis
sue destruction which slowed
down recovery, Burndage report
ed.
Several newer compound^ in
cluding “Phemerol” were tested
by the livestock scientists of the
Experiment Station and it was
found that treatment with Pher
merol was not painful nor did it
destroy skin tissue. Few applica
tions were needed for cure. It
was possible, Brundage said, to
cover large areas efficiently and
effectively; also hairing-out was
not delayed by formation of scar
tissue.
Treatment with this compound
is relatively simple, he stated.
Ringworm lesions should be
saturated with the solution twice
a week using a small paint brush.
Encrusted material should be re
moved as soon as possible, often
by the second application, to facil- ‘
itate penetration. If the animals
have not been treated previously,
a definite improvement should be
noted by the third or fourth ap
plication, Brundage reported.
However, he concluded, animals
which have been treated with
other remedies previously may be
difficult to cure.
