three -fifths of the whole world

the same as at this point last year
Before the devaluations. gold
had been pouring In from foreign
countries without interruption, ex-
|cept In wartime, since the United
States devalued the dollar on a
gold basis in January, 1884.
The official price for gold has
held aJ $35 an ounce since 1884,
but prices in the free market at
Paris have been up as high as $50.

low $42.
Refugees Offer Gold.
No direct connection is seen
here, however, between the United
States gold outflow and the gold
price decline in the Paris mar
ket. The price decline has been
held connected more directly with
such things as:
Gold offerings by refugees from
Communist -overrun China and
from gold-mining South Africa

Government gold holdings have
declined more than 1910 million
in the six months since the for
eign currency devaluations last
September.
Officials here expressed belief
today that the chief cause for the
withdrawals has been improve
ment in the balance Of interna-
tional accounts. This, they said,
is taking the pressure of foreign
countries to send gold here to pay
for goods and enabling them to
rebuild reserves with gold from
this country.
A small percentage Of the metal
went into jewelry, dental appli-
ances and so on.
Peak Was in September.

it reached the peak of $24 $780,

 The Seward schools require deposit of $1.50 for books and materials furnished pupils by the school. This may be paid at enrolment or may be sent with the child when he reports for school on September 5lh.
 Pupils in grades 2 to 8, in. elusive, and high school stu dents will enroll with their classroom teachers at 1000 am on Tuesday, September 5th Pupils and students entering the Seward schools by transfer (who were not in the Seward schools last semester) are re quired by law to have physical examinations on entrance.

Condemnation.
 Suit Filed By City Council

The condemnation suit of the City of Seward vs. Seward Water Supply was filed Monday in the office of the Clerk of the Court at Anchorage. The water company was requested by the City Council in April of this year to show proof of intention to rehabilitate the system or en- large the supply. When proof was not submitted the company was served notice that the coun- cil would proceed under the pro- visions of Ordinance 36, which provided for a board of apprais- CTS to be appointed to set a fair price for purchase of the system. Failure of the water company to comply with the provisions of Ordinance 36 made necessary the instruction of the city at- torney to proceed with condem- nation proceedings.
 The law firm of Hummer, Ar nell and Mclaughlin of Anchor age is handling the suit in behalf of the City of Seward.
 In the event the claims of the city are sustained a price will be set to be paid the water com pany for the system. The city has already been informed by a bonding company that money will be available to affect the purchase.
 No information has been re- ceived here as to the date of hearing in the case but it is cer- tain that the information will be passed on to the public as it becomes available.

Duck Season To Open
 September 7

Duck and goose hunters in the Third Division can blast away at their favorite targets from Sept. ? to Oct. 31, it was announced today by the Fish and Wildlife Service, following signing of the 1850 wildfowl hunting regulations by Presi- dent Truman.
 First details reaching here did little more than confirm the opening and closing dates.
 Detailed information on daily and possession bag limits and shooting hours is expected in a few days, FWS officials re- ported.
 The 1850 hunting rules leng- then the duck hunting season from Alaska to California by five days and allow an increased daily bag limit. A smaller supply of birds in the Mississippi fly way resulted in a shortened sea- son in that area.
 Albert M. Day, director of the FWS, called the Pacific fly way changes "an experiment in an area that can stand it because there are more birds per hunter than in any other"
 The seasons, in summary, in- clude:
 Alaska-In the Second and Fourth Judicial Divisions, Sept. to Oct. 25. In the Third Judi- cial Division except Kodiak Afognak Island group, Sept. 2 to Oct. 31. In the First Judicial Division and the Kodiak-Afog- nak Island group, Oct. 1 to Nov "A, provided that scoter and cider ducks also may be taken in the Second and Fourth Judi cial Divisions from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31 and in the Third Judi cial Division west of 152 de- grees west longitude from Sept. 2 to Dec. 21.
 The bag limit for scoters and elders is 10 day singly or in the aggregate of all kinds, and not more than 20 singly or in the aggregate in possession.
 Wood ducks in Alaska-Limit is one wood duck in bag or possession.
 The 1850 season in this sec tion will extend 55 days in con- trast to 50 days last year, and the season here will open a week earlier than in 1949.
 With heavy percentage of the ducks travelling the Pacific flyway originating in Alaska, local nimrods predict that the FWS action in lengthening the season and bag limit for the west coast indicates good shoot ing for Alaskans. The earlier opening will offer better chances at teal, first of the ducks to head south.
 FWS officials reminded local duck hunters this week that in addition to an Alaskan small game license, waterfowl gunners must purchase a duck stamp.

Tabor came close to scoring
again as the second period open
ed but a tumble by Bill Rogers
on an attempted use of the
spread-formation with the ball
resting on the Pack 6 put a
temporary halt to this. However,
after Whiteville had taken over
at this point, Rudy Williams
dropped back into the end zone
to boot out and fumbled the pass
from center. He was stopped by
Ends Cox and Make Watts for
safety and two points for Tab
or. an exchange of punts saw one
by Whiteville's Dave Walters roll
dead on the TIC IL. Then Glen
Stevens, who does the kicking
for Coach Sill Caruso's Tabor
City crew, had one to roll dead
on the Whiteville 80. Theltor
Ludlum bobbled the oval anc
Make Watts scooped it up and
raced all the way for the second
Devil six.pointer. This made the
score $50 in favor of the Reds,
the way it stood at the halftime
intermission.
Captain Bill Rogers began fir
ing passes right and left in the
final quarter and they led direct
ly to both of the remaining
Tabor tbs. Mixing passes tc
Charles Cox, Make Watts, and
Ebert Long in with short, daz-
cling canters by Dalton Ander-
son, the setup on the third touch
down was on the 2-yard mark.
Anderson scooted off-tackle for
the score. Glen Stevens passed
to Gene Burroughs for the PAT.
The defending Az champions
of Coach Caruso barreled right
back to put a clincher on the
board in the closing moments at
ter Jimmy Carroll and Glen
Stevens had slapped Bobby Stan

he was attempting to pass. Da-
vid Walters kicked badly, the
ball going out of bounds on the
Pack 33. Fullback Ford Fowler
plunged to the IS. Anderson rae

to Burroughs that was no good,
He then tossed to Ebert Long
in the flat on the 10 and the big
halfback moved to the 6 before
he was pulled down. Rogers then
hit lanky Gene Burroughs in the
