CANADIANS MAKE EPIC
 SEA VOYAGE
Sail from West 10 East Over Top of World for
 First Time

SYDNEY, Nova Scotia, Oct. g. A new chapter was added in Arctic history yesterday as eight hardy Royal Canadian Mounted Policemen completed the first West-East voyage across the top of America.
 Just 28 months after the 30-ton auxiliary vessel St. Koch set out from Vancouver, the bearded adven- turers sailed quietly into port.
 Details of the trip were cloaked in official secrecy. Only once in his tory has the passage been sailed before = by Roald Amundsen and five others who crossed the North Atlantic in 1903 and emerged into the Pacific three years later.
 one member of the crew of the St. Koch died and was replaced by another picked up at a lonely out post. Sgt. Henry Larsen, Danish seaman, active in the northern trad ing business before joining the po- lice, commanded the crew.

CONSUMERS ARE URGED TO HELP
 CURB PRICES

Responsibility of the consumer in the enforcement of price control was stressed by Mrs. Mildred Her mann, Director of OPA in Alaska. who has called upon all consumers of commodities and services to be vigilant in checking prices.
 Tn the first place." she said, 'be price, conscious, study your prices from month to month. Our prices should now be fairly well stabilized. They should not rise higher save on certain excepted items, and when Congress finishes it's task of passing the Anti-Infla- tion Bill there should be no ex- cepted items. Consumers must ex-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-10-09

pect prices to be higher than they were during the weeks before Pearl Harbor, but they should not go ap- preciably higher than they are now In fact, they should go down. If consumers throughout the Terri tory would form the habit of list ing the price of merchandise they buy each month and comparing these prices with subsequent pur- chases, they would have an easy check on whether or not their mer- chants are raising prices.
 Watch for Ceiling Prices
 If ceiling prices have not been posted eonspicuously in the store, v Mrs. Hermann continued, the GUS toner should ask the merchant why they are not posted. Every inquiry made will serve warning on the merchant that his operations are being watched. If, after one in- quiry, the customer does not find the ceilings posted, he should write to his nearest OPA office or Local Rationing Board and give full par ticulars.
 Penalties Provided m
 Serious penalties are provided for the violation of any part of the Office of Price Administration regulations Mrs. Hermann stat ed. "The merchant may be fined in an amount up to $5,000, or .senr fenced to as much as year m prison. He may have his license re- voked for a period of months, and civil redress is provided whereby every customer may recover three times the amount of each over charge, or $50, which ever is the larger amount" o.o
 Consumer Services
 Mrs. Hermann also pointed out that the price of consumer services is regulated by the General Maxi mum Price Regulation, which pro vides that the highest price that may be charged for consumer ser- vices is the price charged during the month of March, 1942.
 We do not eat or wear con- sumer services" Mrs. Hermann said, but We do pay an enormous amount of money for them n d they constitute an important part of our cost of living
 Remember Mrs. Hermann con- cluded, price control has been es- tablished as weapon against in- flation. Imitation is the great men, ace to our national economy, and as dangerous weapon as any used on the real battle fields of the war. The fight against imitation is just as much a part of the war effort as the building of planes ano ships," she said.

Fighting officers" he observed,

Creation of the station began May
%, but not until July did operations
shift into high gear.
$500 Men on Job.
Since that time an army of 1880
laborers, involving weekly $780,
600 payroll, has worked day and
night in answer to the Nays de-
mand for speed.
On ground used heretofore only
for farming, great drill halls, bar
racks and more than $50 subsidiary
buildings now look down on Seneca
Lake-deepest and longest of New
York's finger lakes.
The six drill halls-each SOB feet
long and 120 feet wide-emphasize
Simpsons purpose in training men

Every day 1000 men will be dis
charged for new duties and an
