m, d fait I'd
make a pMtty gifjt
Pretty but not very practical . . . and who wants
a peacock anyway?
The best kind of gift is one that is practical
—one that keeps on giving all year long—an
electric gift. The selection is endless whether
you’re planning to spend a little or a lot.
Electric skillet for Mother—power tools for Dad
-bottle warmer for the baby-corn popper for
the teen-agers — elec
tric blanket for the
grand-parents. And,
there are many more.
Whatever small electric wonder you give—you
can be sure it will be used.
Mom likes electric housewares because they’re
so pretty, besides being serviceable. Holiday en
tertaining is easier with electric housewares —
they’re attractive enough to go on the table.
See your electric appliance dealer today and
give better electrically this year. Remember,
electricity does every
job—large or small—
more efficiently and
economically.

TRUCK, TRAILER RATE REDUCED
ON ALASKA MARINE HIGHWAY SYSTEM
a new reduced truck a n a
truck trailer rate went into ef
fect on the Alaska marine
highway system today, the di
vision of marine transportation
has announced.
While lower tariffs are pro
vided throughout the system,
the newr rates give recognition
to the long-haul concept and
provide greater reductions for
the longer hauls.
Additionally, the new truck
and trailer tariffs, which in
clude the fare of a driver, set
out rates based on vehicular
.engths in five-foot increments
as contrasted with the 10-foot
increments used in the former
schedule.
Reductions under the new
rates range from lO1^ per cent
on trips between Prince Rup
ert and Skagway to approxi
mately 114 per cent on the
short haul between Prince Ru
pert and Ketchikan.
For example, under the new
tariffs a 21-foot truck and
trailer departing from Prince
Rupert w'ould save $6.fi5 if go
ing to tvetcruKan, 3>l4.so to
WrangelJ, $19.40 to Petersburg,
$31.45 to Juneau or Sitka,
$44.40 to Harries and $46.75 to
Skagway Reductions would be
somewhat smaller for trucks
and trailers falling within the
upper half of the former 10
foot increments but all veh
icles would receive reductions
under the new tariffs.
