49,797 Checks Mailed
In Puzzle Contest

The financial clerk at District
Court has just completed a more
than-two-year task of sending out
49,797 checks for a grand total
of S51 .240 to persons who entered
a puzzle contest conducted In l945
by the magazine Facts. The checks
range from Is cents to So.
The entire sum had been i'm
pounded by District Court. pend
ing final outcome of litigation re-
garding the puzzle contest, known
as the Hall of Fame"
Postal authorities had issued a
fraud order which had the effect
of preventing sponsors of the con-
test, all located in New York, from
receiving mail.
District Court, however, in Mo-
vember. l945. issued an injunc-
ton to prevent the Postmaster
General from enforcing the fraud
order. The lower court was af-
flrmed in December. 1916, by the
United States Court of Appeals.
In March, 1948, however. Su-
preme Court reversed the lower
courts decisions. AS a result Of
the Supreme Courts action funds
received after October, 1945. by
those conducting the contest, had
to be returned to participants.
The participants had been re-
quired by the magazine to send
IN Is cents with each series of
puzzle solutions to qualify in the
contest.
Marion E. Lewis. the courts
financial clerk, said the first Of
the checks for return of funds to
participants were sent out in No
vember, l948, and the last this
month. The checks were drawn
up by deputy clerks at the court.
Mr.. Lewis estimated that ap-
proXimately a fourth of the
checks mailed out have been re-
turned because of the persons to
whom they were sent having
changed addresses. The checks
which failed to reach the puzzle
contest participants are being
4 turned over to the General
Accounting Office.

Tourist Assoc. To Form In territory

Charter meetings to organize an Alaska tourist association are to be held by businessmen of the Territory at Juneau Satur- day, November 4, and at An chorage Monday, November 6, it was announced by the Alaska Development Board.
 At this pair of meetings a name w i'll be selected for the citizens group, plan of organ ization adopted and temporary officers chosen.
 All communities in Southeast Alaska have been invited to send representatives to the Ju- neau meeting which will be held in the Wickersham Room of the Alaska Historical Library at 10 o'clock the morning of Mo- vember 4. Other places in Alaska have ben invited to send repre- sentatives to the Anchorage meeting which will open at 10 o'clock the morning of Novem- Der in the studio of radio station KENI there. Delegates from the Juneau meeting will attend the one at Anchorage.
 Organization of the tourist association is the result of efforts by the Alaska Development Board assisted by Chambers of Commerce and transportation companies. In August George Sundborg, consultant to the Board, accompanied George Ar mitage, secretary of the Hawaii Tourist Bureau, on a trip to 35 different communities in Alaska to explain the objectives of the proposed organization.
 The tourist association, which will be entirely Independent of the Alaska Development Board, will coordinate travel programs, advertise Alaska's tourist attrac- tions and make the many ar engagements necessary to build this industry up to a major one in the Territorial economy.

Coast Guard Ship To Supervise Dischorqe Of Explosives

Mayor Eugene Lanier was ad- vised today that the Coast Guard ship Bittersweet will make port Thursday and remain over Sat urday, or until the explosives aboard the SS Nadina are com- pletely discharged.
 The Bittersweet will furnish fire protection and personnel to supervise unloading of much needed class-A explosives. This is in line with the recent ruling of Coast Guard controlling the discharge of explosives in civil ian ports.
 Highway construction projects reports of an alarmingly low supply of blasting powder influ- enced the Coast Guard headquar- ters to make an exception of the port of Seward, but require that the unloading must be super vised by Coast Guard personnel.

SCHOOL LUNCH PAYING ITS WAY

Mrs. Harold Davis reports that the school lunch program inaugurated this year is paying expenses. It is hoped that by next year it will afford paid services and relieve the volun- teers who are now assisting with the cooking, preparation and cleanup every day.
 Six additional volunteers are needed in the program to re- place several mothers who have left town recently. The volun- teers give four hours each month to the project. *
 An average of 15O meals per day are being served at school. Two days of nice weather will cut down the demand, but a few days of rain and cold builds it up again to nearly 200. To date the cafeteria has served 4432 meals.
