SEMI-ANNUAL
CPA AND PA EXAMS
GIVEN IN PALMER
Examinations for Certified
Public Accountant and Public
Accountant were given last week
and this week for the Anchorage
area at the Co-Op office under
supervision of Clayton Esslinger,
who is a member of the five-man
Territorial Board of Accountancy
charged with this semi-annual
function.
Two persons took the examin
ation for the coveted CPA cer- J
tification. They were Margaret ;
Fulton and Donald Philip, both
of Anchorage. These examina
tions were given last week Wed
nesday. Thursday, and Friday.
The American Institute of Ac
countants makes up the questions
for these exams and grades them.
The Public Account exams
given this week Monday and
Tuesday are made up by the Ter
ritorial board and are graded by
the five members. Supposedly,
they are not quite as “stiff” as
the CPA exams. Margaret Fuller,
Sgt. A. S. Foster, Deloris Dash,
C. G. Muradian, Thelma G
Schultz, and Robert F. Geyer—all
from Anchorage or Fort Richard
son—were slated to take these
exams.
The Territorial board will again
offer examinations for both ac
countancy categories next May.

NOTES FROM YOUR
EXTENSION SERVICE
By RICHARD BLUE
1952 ACP Program
The Extension Service an
nounces that it will accept ap
plications from farmers for the
1952 A.C.P. program. The neces
sary application forms are avail
able at the Extension office only.
They will be mailed if desired.
Write Box 1736, Palmer. Closing
dates for accepting applications
will probably be about February
or whatever date the farmer
planning committees decide. Ap
proval forms will then be in the
farmers hands before spring
cleaning gets underway.
Notice to MVBA Members
Mr. Sweetman of the Experi
ment Station has asked me to
notify members of the MVBA t:>
try to get calls for service into
the Extension office or telephone
office before noon. The Extension
Service has a small box with pa
per and pencil outside the door
for Sunday and holiday calls.
Farmer Planning Committee
To Organize
The Extension Service is spon
soring the formation of planning
committees of farmers elected by
farmers. The farmer committees
will advise and help the Exten
sion Service with its programs.
In the States, these committees
are very active and render a real
service to rural families.
Many government allottments
of machinery and materials as
well as the ACP programs are ad
ministered from farmer advise
ment. We sent ballots to everyone
on our mailing list which is prob
ably not complete. If any farmer
was missed, we will be glad :o
supply a ballot on request.
Agent Schedule
To avoid wasting the farmer’s
time who comes to the Exten
sion office and finds the agent
away, I will make it a point to oe
in the office all day Tuesday for
office calls.

OPS VIOLATORS WARNED
JUNEAU—Dealers who raise
the price of cigarettes more than
i one cent a package under the new
excise tax law are in violation of
Office of Price Stabilization regu
lations, George N. Apostol, en
forcement director for OPS said
this week.
The new excise tax added an
other penny to the retail price
of cigarettes. Commenting on the
tax, Apostol said:
“It has been brought to my at
tention that certain dealers have
raised the price of cigarettes more
than one cent a package.”
Apostol added that if the regu
lation with respect to the ciga
rette tax, or any other OPS regu
lation, is not clear to a business
man, he should contact the Of
fice of Price Stabilization imme
diately.
"It is, and will be the policy of
the enforcement office to bring
appropriate legal action against
all violators of price regulations,”
Apostol said.
There are no known violators
j in Palmer according to a recent
check.
