The Bottle Caps have finished
their schedule. II the B-29's win
both games they will take, the
second half title by half game
bot II they lose a game the best
they can do is tie the Bottlers for
first place.
Hunter said that the recent Sc

edge bat that il was played only
foF fun. Tie said that the Legion,
which won the series, had not APP

Hunters statement follows:
al a meeting of the Key West

teams ending in second place of
ihe first and second halves would
meet each other in three-out-of-
five series for fun. (The teams
we're Legion and B-29's). The
winners would play Bottle Cap
Inn an a four-out-of-seven series
foe fun.
The manager of the B-29's
conceded the second-half cham
pionship to the Bottle Cap Inn
with two scheduled league games
remaining. Bottle Cap Inn then
proceeded TO lose one game Civ
ma the B-2g's a chance to tie. In
the meantime, the series, between
the B-29s and the Legion was in
progress. AT the request of the

consented TO allow the B-29S to
play the remainder of the sched-
ule and IL the B-29'S were to win
both games they were to play a
two-out -of-three series to decide
the secOnd-half championship. If
tine B-2s's were TO win this Sc

CHAMBER MET AT NOON LUNCHEON

The VIVA Chamber of Com merce met at their regular noon luncheon yesterday and discussed the past session of the Alaska leg iSlature. The guest speakers were Senator Frank Whaley and Sena- tor Tolbert Scott who just recent ly returned from the session.
 Senator Whaley spoke briefly on the bills which were passed by both the Senate and the House and signed into law by the pen of Governor Ernest Gurening.
 In particular Senator Whaley explained the Health Bill and the Veterans Bill.
 The Health Bill, he said, was put through with very little oppo- sition and with few amendments, and the financial accompanying bills likewise.
 The Veterans Bill, which came out of committee as a substitute for Senate Bill No. 9. For an Act entitled: And Act to create Re- Volving Fund to be used for loans and bonuses to Alaska Veterans of World War II who have been honorably discharged or honor ably separated; levying a tax to create the fund; designating who shall be beneficiaries and how the fund will be administered; defin- ing violations and prescribing punishment therefore; making an appropriation; declaring an emer- gency" Veterans may receive loans up to 2,500 for domestic or edu- cational purposes, and up to $10,000 for business, farm or home, and the interest rate shall not exceed 40 per annum on un- paid balance of such loans.
 For the creation of the fund to carry out the purpose of the act there will be levied, commencing April 1, l946, payable on all rev enueS received on or after said date as a result of sales, services or exports. The schedule is pat termed as follows: l% of gross re- tail sales and/or gross revenue from services, providing that the amount is greater than S100 in

MIR. AND MRS. RON COONS ENROUTE TO WALES

any one quarter year; 12% of gross revenue wholesale sales in Alaska payable by the wholesaler and 12 = of the gross market value computed at time of export of all fish, gold, lumber and other commodities of the Territory pay able by the exporter.
 The tax will terminate when the amount of $3,225,OOO has been collected.
 The tax imposed under this sec ton of the bill is payable not later than 30 days after the end of each quarter-year, and penalties will be assessed and collected in the case of delinquency.
 The veteran may in lieu of loan seek a bonus which is equiv alent to S10 for each month served before November l, 1945, but may not receive both the bonus and a loan.
 Senator Scott stated that in his belief the special session accom- plished much in the line of emer- gency legislation and agreed fully with Senator Whaley on the Health and Veterans Bills.
 The community center project which is to replace the outgoing Red Cross Club operated in Nome for the servicemen was discussed and president Duke Mitrovitch appointed a committee to meet with representatives of other groups and organizations for the purpose of discussing and organ iZing such a project. Representa- lives of the several lodges, orders and groups of Nome citizens will meet in the City Hall Tuesday night at 500 pm.
 Senator Whaley also stated he had met with the Territorial Chamber of Commerce and that body discussed the matter of funds in order to keep itself alive: The treasury was down around $4.00 and none of the member chambers had paid dues for the past two years.
 President Mitrovitch (not pre- siding) moved that the VIVA Chamber forward it's dues to the Territorial Chamber as soon as possible. The motion was second ed and carried unanimously, and the treasurer requested to take the necessary action.

FAIR NOTES

Striving hard to make Friday, April 18th, red letter day and one to be long remembered in Nome, Carl Andy" Anderson has worked night and day in prepara- ton of what he believes to be the Show of Shows.
 The Follies
 Not just an expose of beautiful limbs, as he puts it, but dance routineS full of fun and assured laughs. There are numbers that will create doubt as to his ALL MALE" cast, for example:
 The slim, slivery, solicitious, supple anatomy of sweet Miss Aka Shelter in her effervescent vocalizing will vie with any of the opposing sex.
 The hulky bulk of charming Christina Johnson in her strip tease with the grace and artistry of Gypsy Rose Lee is truly invig- Orating and especially consoling to those whose avoirdupois is a bit completing.
 Honolulu Lou's swish and sway" brings the beach of Wai- kaki to Nome. The niftiest bit of human flesh ever surrounded by a grass skirt. Like a tidal wave she'll carry you away, but you'll love it!
 Miss Bunny's Bubble Dance" is a combination of sublime and ridiculous. Don't miss seeing a wild hare's interpretation and adaptation of sophisticated music. It's spectacle you can't afford to miss.
 The Persian Princess portrays positive proof of her claims of having performed before royalty. Tier exQulSlte eXOtlc maneuVerS make you call for more and she's got it!
 Miss Georgie Dell, the Can Can gal from Southern Cal. Not really gal, but a dish" You've never seen such dancing she's spe- cific, she's terrific.
 A fitting finale that embraces the combination of talent into a subtle ending befitting the entire cast will be something you'll talk about for months . it will give you a NEW LEASE ON LIFE!
 Remember, it's your Fair . It's our Fair . and Everybody
The Nome nugget., 1946-04-10

All parties planning to go into the dog races are requested to contact Luther Dunbar at the tel ephone office and make their en- try as soon as possible.
 All exhibitors are requested to have their exhibits at the school gymnasium Thursday morning.
 The weather seems to have de- cided to give us break so the outdoor events can be pulled off in good shape.
 Don't overlook the opportunity to get in on the car. It is a brand new Dodge. All dealers have been limited on the number they will get so take a chance on getting one. It may be YOUR LUCKY TIME.
 Superintendents of the various divisions of the Fair, report their departments shaping up very well. In particular Mrs. Ole Hay states that the proof of her House. hold Economics department, is in the pudding, and requests that all entries be at the Territorial School Thursday morning or early after noon.
 Bud Ricter, in charge of the amateur movie department, states that entries for his department should be left at the U. s. Mer- camille Go.
 The entertainment is shaping in fine style as can be noted in other items of this issue.

Director Region 2B, UAW-ClO

There has never been any question in
mind, although there seems to have been
doubts in the minds of others about my
position that of the majority of the m
bers of CIo respecting the payroll tax.
Why anyone should be confused about
attitude in the face of the opposition WI
CIO gave the payroll tax before 1t was pas
by City Council is beyond me.
l want to make my position very clear AL.
that even those whose minds were in doubt
will know exactly what my position is on the
tax
At the time the hearings were being held
before City Council, said that CIO was op-
posed to an income payroll tax in which every
citizen was taxed one per cent without any
exemptions or taking into account whether
they were married or single and without con-
sideration the number of their dependents and
the size of their income.
l assure everyone that my position remains
the same on this.
OPPOSED FIVE YEARS
1t is matter of record as reported in the
daily newspapers that the second point in my
opposition to the payroll tax was because the
ordinance was proposed for period of five
years during which time it would be frozen. /
asked City Council to make provisions for al
lowing the citizens of Toledo to vote on the
issue within the year and stated that unless
this were done l would try to see that the or
dinance was placed on the ballot for vote of
the people.
City Council passed the tax without any exz.
emptlons and without making provision for al
vote Of the citizens of Toledo on the tax
PAC circulated the petitions and secured
the required number of signatures to place the y
referendum on the ballot
Since the referendum has been assured
many charges have been hurled at CIO and my
self apparently by those who give lip service
to democracy and then attack those who at
tempt to make it work. can assure everyone
that there is no intention on my part to order
the citizens of this city. What was done by the
PAC was merely to provide the people with
the opportunity to express themselves for or
against the tax
If any words of mine relative to my oppo-
sltlon to the tax or the action of the PAC in
placing the issue on the ballot is undemocratic
then l must be misunderstanding the lessons
on democracy which was taught in school A
and in the union.
Being opposed to the tax we will naturally
voice our reasons for objecting to it as
now stands in order to convince as many
possible that the tax is an unjust and
equitable levy upon those who are least
TO bear it and an undemocratic action upon
part OF City Council which rejected the
of the plain people and workers of Toleo
am opposed to the tax and will wor-s W
its defeat
