Tobacco Price Ceilings

The government has fixed the flue-cured
tobacco ceiling price for this years crop at

leaf, such as is produced in the Carolinas and
Virginia and $40 per 100 pounds on the loose
leaf produced in Georgia, Alabama, and

weight is fixed as the ceiling price for the en-
tire southern area, a premium of $3.50 per
hundred weight is provided for tobacco tied in

LAMBERT VOSS, PASSES AWAY

Lambert Voss passed away at the Maynard Columbus Hospital last Saturday. Everyone in the community is familiar with the courteous old gentleman who has assisted in the U. s. Post Office since 1880, when William Arthurs was postmaster. MT. Voss, who was born in Holland, came to Alaska about thirty years ago, did longShoring, and was caretaker of the cemetery for many years.
 MT. Voss was a kindly old man, who was always doing little deeds of thoughtfulness for those around him, and will be missed by the community. He had considerable property, which is believed to have been willed to the Catholic Church, although no will has been found to date.
 Funeral services will be held from the Catholic Church at nine o'clock on Wednesday morning.

 The nations newspaper editors, voting in poll conducted by (P) Newfeatures, appraised this rec ord and gave President Truman the title of "man of the year" and an accolade as outstanding poli- tical figure of the year" as well.
 Editors also were asked to se- lect the woman of the year" and leading personalities in military affairs, industry, labor, science, literature and sports.
 Lise Neither Top Woman
 Top choice as the No. 1 news maker among women was Lise Neither, physicist, whose calcula- tions played an important part in the development of the atom bomb. Dr. Neither worked at the Kaiser Wilhelm Academy of Sci ence in Berlin but was driven from Germany. Tn Denmark she broke a deadlock in atom bomb experiments by participating in preparation of a formula suggest ing that many puzzling questions could be answered by splitting uranium atom in two approxi- mately equal parts. This formula was of prime help to the scientists who developed the first atomic bomb this year.
 Among editors other choices of the outstanding women were Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt; Rep. Clare Boothe Luce; and Eva Braun, Adolf Hitler's girl friend.
 Eisenhower Leads Military
 Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower was acclaimed the outstanding mili- tary personality for the second consecutive year. The architect of the Anglo-American victories in Europe was followed in the voting by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, su- preme commander in the Pacific; Gen. George C. Marshall, Army chief of staff; and Adm. Chester w. Nimitz, commander of the Pa cific fleet.
