Phone Strike Over, Explanation of Pay Hike Granted City Sales Tax

The following article has been prepared by City Clerk Carrie Nc Lain to clarify how Sales Tax money will be spent.
 The City of Nome has now set aside 25,00O.0O derived from City Sales Tax, in the Nome Sea Wall Revolving Fund. It is fitting that Nome Sales Tax payers be in- formed as to what further use Sales Tax funds will be put to, and the reason for the very evi- dent need of its continuation.
 The first need is to meet the large 1950-1951 School budget, which could not have been ac- cepted last spring, without antici- pating some funds coming from the Sales Tax. A much needed school expansion is under way which is part of this budget. A second objective IS to purchase a City dozer for snow removal and so settle a contending situation arising every winter. A resurvey of the City that will be necessary before anticipating Publi c Works Program for Nome, is an- other contemplated objective of City Councilmen. Fire Code re- quirements of the Pacific Board of Fire Underwriters, problems of sanitation, garbage disposal, street drains, policing, etc., that are ex- pected to be maintained at mod ern standards, are not possible

Korean Situation At A Glance ---
Saturday. November le. 1850


 By The Associated Press)
 An armored column of the U. s. Seventh Division plowed through a snowstorm today to within two miles of Kapsan, 21 miles below the Red Manchurian border, as communist resistance faded on the northeastern Karea warfront.
 On the western end of the 25O- mile front, however, 100000 Ko- rean and Chinese communists were digging in on a mountain de- fense line south of the Yalu Riv- CTS power plants on the Manchur- ian frontier.
 U. s. Eighth army intelligence sources estimated about 28,000 Chinese and about 10000 North Koreans are on the Taechon-Tok- chon line, with other units in sup porting positions. There was no evidence the Reds intended to pull back to the Yalu in that area, 45 miles northwest of Taechon.
 The power site area apparently will be defended at all costs. Pres ident Truman's assurance that the power sites would not be molest- ed by U. N. forces was met with this answer of the Chinese com- munists, broadcast on Peiping ra- dio:: "The Chinese people are not deceived by what they see through this curtain of lies and bellicosity."
 Only scattered rifle fire from the hills opposed the tankled Sev- enth Division column in the rug ged northeast. The snowstorm and rocky roads weer the biggest obstacles. A field officer said the column expected to reach burn ing Kapsan tomorrow.
 Heavy Allied air strikes cov- cred the advancing column. The advance was delayed three hours yesterday to let Sherman tanks wheel off the road and clean out entrenched Reds waiting to am- bush the column. After a skirmish,

Pliers, Lost Ten
 Days, Found Safe

FAIRBANKS, (P) - After 10 days in the frozen Arctic wilder ness, where temperatures ranged as low as 50 degrees below zero, James Stevenson and Varion An drick weer rescued yesterday.
 Neither, apparently, suffered undue ill effects.
 Stevenson, manager of the Fort Yukon branch of the Northern Commercial Company, said run ming out of cigarettes on the sec ond day was the "worst" part of their experience.
 The two men, who disappeared Nov. g after taking off on a short 40-mile hop from Fort Yukon to Venetie, said strong winds blew their light Aeronca plane 100 miles off course.
 Stevenson said he flew until the engine stopped, then made a dead stick landing on a lake.
 'sAfter building a fire, we got the engine started again and flew another 30 miles before running out of gas," he continued.
 That time, they crash landed

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TERRITORY OF ALASKA OFFICE OF THE ACTING GOVERNOR OF THE
 TERRITORY PROCLAMATION

PROCLAMATION
 WHEREAS the President of the United States, Harry s. Truman, has issued a Proclamation in the following terms:
 "In keeping with the custom es- tablished by our forefathers and hallowed by faithful observance throughout the years, it is fitting that once again at this season we set aside day for giving thanks to God for the many blessings which He has bestowed upon us.
 "We are deeply grateful for the bounties of our soil, for the un- equalled production of our mines and factories, and for all the vast resources of our beloved country, which have enabled our citizens to built a great civilization. We are thankful for the enjoyment of our personal liberties and for the loyalty of our fellow Americans.
 eve offer fervent thanks that we are privileged to join with other countries in the work of the United Nations, which was found- ed to maintain peace in a troubled world and is now standing firm in upholding the principles of inter national justice.
 Contemplating these blessings with humility, we have a deep ened sense of our responsibility to serve unselfishly, and we pray to Almighty God for wisdom in our relations with our fellow men.
 "Now, therefore, I, HARRY s. TRUMAN, President of the United States of America, in conformance with the oint resolution of Con- gress approved December 26, 1941, designating the fourth Thurday of November in each year as Thanksgiving Day, do hereby proclaim Thursday, Mo- vember 23, 1850, as a day of na- tional thansgiving, and I call upon every citizen to offer thanks to God for His gracious guidance and help. Again I ask all my coun- trymen to appeal to the Most High, that the God of our Fathers who has blessed this land beyond all others will in His infinite mer- cy grant to all nations that peace which the world cannot give. I entreat them, in church, chapel and synagogue, in their homes and in the busy walks of life, ev- cry day and everywhere, to pray for peace"
 NOW, THEREFORE, L, LEW M. WILLIAMS, Acting Governor of Alaska, call the attention of the people of Alaska to this Procla- nation and urge compliance with the request of our President.
 (SEAG
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, | have hereunto subscribed my hand and caused the Seal of the Territory of Alaska to be affixed. Done at Juneau, the capital, this 10th day of November in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and fifty.

Aid to Houses
By Roger c. Whitman

Question: I'm burning the paint
off the outside of my, house with
a blowtorch, and other people
are telling me that the paint
won't stay on after I paint it. Is
that true, or is there anything
can use to mix in my paint?
Answer: Some painters say that
the heat of the blowtorch is apt
to damage wood shingles. If that
is what your house is built of,
advise you to discontinue the
burning. You can take off the
peeling sections with scrapers,
wirebrushing, etc.
Another good method is to use
small, portable electric sander,
which can be bought or rented in
the larger centers. When repaint-
ing, use printing coat of alu-
mlnum paint, which makes a good
bond with the surface. Do not
paint in cold or damp weather.
The surfaces and the atmosphere
should be warm and dry.
No special paint or admixture
of paint will be necessary for the
area where paint was burned off.
Sand off all scorched surfaces and
wipe off dust before painting.
