fSPEcIAL TO THE NUGGET

fSPFcIAL TO THE NUGGEr -Moviegoers who have often asked that a picture be made on the activities of the Coast Guard will at lasr have their requests fulfilled. Hollywood studies are busy with two films based on this service.

CEILING PRICE IS SET ON HOSIERY

Specific ceiling prices have been set for retail sales of wom- ems rayon hosiery, to become ef- fective October 25th, in all towns and communities in Alaska, it was announced recently by Mil dred R. Hermann, Alaska direc- tor of the Office of Price Admin 'stration.
 All retail outlets have been mo- tified and given full particulars of this amendment to the regula- tion governing retail selling prices of commodities imported into the Territory for resale to consumers. The maximum prices thus established are based upon the price retailers pay to their supplies, plus a controlled mark up which includes ample allow ance for transportation costs, Mrs. Hermann stated.
 This is the first item of ap- parel to be placed under speci- fife ceiling prices, and savings to consumers are expected to be considerable. Beginning October 25th, consumers, when shopping, should look for a label or ticket on each pair of women's hosiery to be marked Alaska Ceiling Price S......." or "Our Ceil- ing Price $........"

 If you are planning to buy fur coat this year be sure the garment is your size, the fur pelts are we'll matched and that there are no thin spots apparent.
 Examine the lining, too, mak- ing sure that the under arms are reinforced and that the lining will reasonably resist friction wear.

How to Avoid the Fur Tax!
By VIVIAN DROWN AP Newsfsatures Writor

Your old fur coat, with proper handling, can be made to look like new again.
 Because of the 20 per cent lux ury tax, some furriers say that sales have dropped. Hence, many furriers who formerly depended on new sales for business have found it more profitable to use their limited labor supply in re- modelling, repairing and servic- ing old coats. Says furrier Harry J. Treu:
 "offhand. cannot think of anything . woman wears that has the longevity of . fur coat. Often those remodelled are fen 10 twelve years old and recent lY an Alaskan seal that was over 7s years old had its skins successfully blended in a make over job"
 A remodeling plan usually in cludes taking the coat entirely apart, replacing worn and rub bed parts, restyling, cleaning, glazing and reinforcing the seams. A new silk lining interlining, loops and buttons are the finish ing touches.
 Recently there has been a large demand for the blending of inex- pensive furs to resemble expen- sive ones. And much en- phasis is on the reblending of faded muskrat coats with the process that is used in the re- blending of old mink coats.
 Of course, any article of wear ing apparel subject to constant use depends for it's life on the care it is given, and even the most durable of furs may be ruined through improper care.
 Friction is perhaps of more danger 10 fur than any other single factor. Hat brims that rub or cut hairs and bags and packages that rub under fhe
