With less than one week remain ing before the deadline for posting price ceilings and submitting re- ports on Cost of Living Commodi- ties, the Alaska Office of Price Administration, Mildred R. Her mann Director, is busily engaged checking off the many reports as they arrive at the Territorial Office
 We are not attempting to check on the accuracy of the reports or to look into the fairness of the prices at this time" MT. Hermann explained. That is the work for which our accountancy division has been created. Our present duty is simply to see that the reports are in the right form, and that they have coverage on the right poinGs as required by the regulations and are properly certified. It will be the task of the accountancy divi- sion to check the prices, tabulate results, secure the wholesale costs to check on all "out-of -line" prices. the direct cost is determined, and and transportation charges by which We expect to have the accountancy division ready to go to work i'm mediately after September first.

 NEWS
SEPTEMBER 8 DATE
 SCHOOL REOPENING

A meeting of the Douglas School Board was held last night to con- sider measures pertaining to begin- ming of school next month. As has been the custom for several years, the first Tuesday after the first Monday in September is to be the reopening day and schools will start the 1942-l943 terms on Sep tember 8.
 Still one teacher short, someone to handle science and mathematics, further contacts were decided on to secure a teacher for those subjects. Three men who were contacted for the job were already in some branch of government service for the duration. If favorable response is not soon forthcoming some of the teachers agencies will be ap- piled to in search of teacher. It was further decided that in the event no one suitable can be se- cured from outside one of the married women teachers on the channel will be sought for the position.
 Plans were made to continue again with the kindergarten and it was thought teacher for that will be available at an early date. Miss Warren, superintendent, will contact all parents in town who have children of kindergarten age for their cooperation.

the second phase of the work ot price administration-th of check ing the reports. In this work we shall have the assistance of an inspector at Seattle who will check the wholesale prices and transpor- tation charges at their point Of origin, transmitting the results to the accountancy division in Juneau.
 We do not expect Alaska merch- ants generally to attempt to get by with 'doctored' or carelessly made reports, but we are ready for the occasional person who may try it" she added. We have not inspected ceiling posting yet. Full instruc- tions regarding acceptable methods of posting have been given the merchants and the eye test care fully explained Tn Juneau, as else where in the Territory, the local rationing boards have contributed valuable assistance to this phase of the work.
 Finish This Week
 Locally, approximately third of the Cost of Living reports are already in," she added land the same percentage holds true of other towns, according to reports received from the local boards, which means, Of course" Miss Hermann pointed out, that for a sizable number of retail merchants, the task of pre- pairing the reports and posting ceilings must be accomplished with in the next week. We have all ready extended the time full month," she pointed out, since August first was the date origin ally set for the completion of this work. We have no authority to extend it further. September first is the positive deadline.'

able supplies and building up fuel
oil reserves.

Gratis. the Chief Executive discussed
steps which were being taken to
speed completion of a Florida pipe
line and the building of barees to
take fuel oil from Florida's East

mont, Robert o. Blood of New
Hampshire, j. Howard McGrath
OF Rhode Island. Robert A. Hurley
OF Connecticut and Leverett Salton-
stan OF Massachusetts,. Cows, Nc

the others Republicans.
Inc White House visit followed a
call on Secretary Ickes, who also
Is petroleum co-ordinator, and the
Governors said they would see the
secretary again this afternoon.
