The Nome nugget., 1942-10-16

\ recent visitor to Nome is pr. Henry R. Joesting of the Territorial Department of Mines. The purpose of Dr. Joestings s visit Is to determine if cOndi- ions warrant the establishment Of Strategic Minerals Depot, such as was recently established in Fairbanks. In connection with thls the Territorial Assay Office would be reopened, to take care ef sampling and assaying ore re oetVed by the depot.
 The purpose of the plan for purchasing strategic minerals is explained in the following re- lease of the Minerals Reserve Company, which also gives full information concerning condi- tons under which purchases are made.
 Attention is called to the fact that a minimum of 10 tons of anti mony or tungsten ore, one short ton of tungsten concentrates, and one long ton of tin concentrates will be purchased. It would be feasible, however, for producers with smaller lots to combine their material to make up the re- quired amount. Separate assays of each sub-lot would of course be necessary.

RATI0NING
FOR SUGAR
OUT HERE
0PA Informs Acting Gov
ernOr Plan Doesn't
Hit Alaska

There will be no rationing of
sugar in Alaska for the time be-
ing Acting Governor E. L. Bart
lett received notification of this
yesterday in a radiogram from the
Office of Price Administration. The
OPA did not give any reason for
the move in the announcement.
On February 6, the OPA an
nounced in its weekly official bull
letin that rationing of sugar would
be started in the States within a
few weeks"
The plan called for the registra-
ton OF all consumers through
teachers in the public schools.
Books were to be given out to each
person and would contain %
stamps, numbered, each one to en-
title the purchaser to three-quar-
tiers of pound of sugar.
AS each consumer applied for
War Ration Book No l, he would
be required to make certified
statement as to the amount of
sugar per person IN his family I'M
it. If there was found to be more
than two pounds of sugar per per-
son in the possession of the FAM
lily, the balance would be consid-
cred as boarded sugar and the APP
propriate number of stamps torn
from the book right at the start.
Penalties for Justification of this
report run as high as $4,000 fine
or 10 years imprisonment.
In selling the sugar, storekeepers
would tear stamp out of the pur-
chaser's book for each transaction.
This stamp would be pasted on a
storekeeper's card which he would
use in obtaining fresh supplies
from the wholesalers.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, March

Lieut.. Gen. John l.. Dewitt, COM
manding officer of the Western De-
Tense Command, announced after
two weeks of careful study he is
about ready to disclose the Army's

1t will make no difference wheth-
er the civilian population in nom
strategic areas wants to get rid
of alien colonies or whether other
localities object to resettlement of
aliens in their midst. The Army
will decide. Dewitt said.

that of any other winery in the
country has just been achieved by
the Cresta Blanca plant here, with

According to Max Bartholomew,
local plant manager, the expansion
included purchase of oak casks and

cooperage is now on $3.50 ratio,
he said.

FACTS. NOT NEWS.
CAUSE TROUBLE

(\rthur Robh, in Editor X Publisher
We have no sympathy whatever
with the theory that Europe, Austria
liza, and South America should get
specially edited accounts of what goes
on in this country, nor that we should
be given nicely sugared stories of
events in other lands. If our labor sit
uation Is bad, that fact helps our
enemies. The news of it does not. If
we fall down in production of tanks,
planes, or ships, the lack of those
weapons will very soon be evident both
TO our enemies and to our own men
who are dying vainly because of that
lack. The news Of the falldown is not
a fatal factor; but the failure itself
might be.
The way to correct failures is 10
drag them out into the light, humiliat-
ing as that might be, assess the re.
sponsibilty, and adopt Il different
course The news that we have done
so Is both heartening to ourselves and
discouraging to the foe--but the news
itself will neither win nor lose a
battle.
