Price Regulations
 Are Issued by OPS

Copies of the amended ceiling price regulation g, Alaska's retail sales regulation, are now being mail- ed to business men, the Territorial Office of Price Stabilization said this week.
 Over 1,500 businesses are affected by the regulation, Fred G. Hanford, territorial director, said.
 Major changes in the price regu- lation will allow merchants to use percentages in determining their selling prices rather than the former dollar -and-cent method, if they choose.
 The law requires that retail mer- chants covered by CPR g mark or tag all items with the selling price, and also that such stores promin- ently display a sign reading: 'The prices of merchandise in this store are no higher than the OPS ceiling prices of the articles"
 Articles must be marked, and the sign displayed, by September 30, Hanford said.
 Along with the regulations them selves, the OPS is mailing a mimeo- graphed instruction sheet explain ing the requirements in simplified terms.

KeifFlahns Drive 2.724 Miles on
 Alaska-Y. I. Trip

After an Alaska and Yukon Ter ritory motor trip of 2,724 miles, MT. and Mrs. E. L. Keithahn re- turned to Juneau on the Territor- ial ferry Chilkoot Tuesday morn ing. Keithahn is curator of the Territorial Museum.
 Leaving here about three weeks ago, the Keithahns shipped their car to Haines and drove to White horse and up the Taylor Highway in Alaska to Dawson, Y. T. Keit- hahn expressed this trip as one of the most scenic he had ever seen.
 From Dawson they went to Fair banks where Keithahn had the opportunity of conferring with several archeologists at the Uni versity of Alaska before attending the second Annual Science Confer ence at Mckinley National Park.
 They shipped their car and travelled by railroad to the park. At the science meeting he gave a paper on Early Ancestors of the Totem Pole"
 After the conference they took the railroad to Anchorage and then visited Valdez later driving back over the Richardson and AL aska Highways to Haines.
 Tn Anchorage they were guests of Orah Dee Clark, pioneer Alaska school teacher and Fred and Sara Machetanz. Machetanz is famous Alaska artist who has a home in Palmer where the Keithahns were guests.
 As an interesting note Keithahn said the entire 2,724 miles they travelled cost them $72.6O. In the Interior of Alaska the lowest price paid for gasoline was 46 cents a gallon. In Dawson, for an Im- perial gallon which is slightly more than an American gallon. the price was 30 cents.
 Their roundtrip fare on the fer ry from Juneau to Haines and re- turn, for themselves and car was $106.29,

Other provisos Ike mentioned were the continuance of some economic aid to our European allies as well as efforts to sell America behind the Iron Curtain. While he didn't men, tion specifically propaganda ball. oons, he made it clear that we can- not afford to overlook any device to get the truth of our sincere peace efforts to Russian satellites.
 He also strongly endorsed a pro- posal by Rep. Harold Cooley Of North Carolina, chairman of the House Agriculture committee, that advanced American farming tech- niques be put to work in western Europe to conserve the soil and in- crease food production.
 Eisenhower said he wasn't too much concerned about Communist activity and anti-U.S. propaganda this side of the Iron Curtain. But he is seriously concerned about an- other Israeli-Arab outbreak, which Russia might parlay into third world war.
 None of Eisenhower's callers had the nerve to ask him about the top political question on this side of the whether he will run for president. One or two looked at each other hopefully, thinking the other would pop the question. But when they filed out, not one extra ray of light had been shed on this subject.

NOTES AND COMMENT

Three things kill human beings hurry worry and grease.
  Money talks and it usually is talking about taking care of itself.
  It is very difficult to persuade a smoker that smoking is bad for his health.
  It is surprising how much work our friends think we can, and should do. Democracy may be governed by those who believe what anybody tells them. genuine publicity hound cannot understand why some people cling the od-fashoned idea that .hey do not desire publicity. Vacations will not be enjoyed this summer by the men in the armed services, regardless of how necessary a rest may be to the people at home. To get rich, amuse the people; to stand alone, know something; to be feared, be above reproach Could it be that the failure of some officials to maintain high standard of ethics is due to an ignorance of ethics?

those involved in this affair, while openly admitting their violation of the cadet code of honor, are not fundamentally men of bad morals or character.
 Reasons for Leniency
 "They have, however fallen into evil ways. They have not, in the words of the cadet prayer, prefer red the harder right instead of the easier Wrong,' and in their failure have brought sorrow upon them selves and upon the military ac- ademy.
 Many of your group" General Collins continued, have made par tial amends for this past offense by the straightforward way in which you have assisted the authorities in Investigating this matter and in putting the situation to rights.
 T sincerely hope that you will all leave the academy determined to redeem this early fault by the character of the lives which you lead hereafter"
 Note: Though past violators of the honor code received dishonor- able discharges, Collins showed spe- cial leniency to the 88 He explained to them: T did not feel that the conduct of the cadets warranted the usual discharge presently given in honor cases; that is to say, one which indicated discharge under conditions other than honorable. However, in justice to cadets who have received this type of discharge for honor offenses in the past, one cannot justify an honorable dis charge in the present case. Instead, it has been decided to allow the cadets to resign and to receive a simple administrative discharge without specification as to circum- stances"
 Eisenhower Reports
 General Eisenhower IS well sat- isfied with the progress of western Europe's defense program, he told congressional group in Paris recent ly. Then he added: But the job I'd like to see accomplished isn't half done"
 Eisenhower figures it will take another year, probably by the end of 1852" to get our Atlantic pact allies in top shape, militarily and economically.
 lie explained that he was think ing in terms of total defense" against possible Soviet aggression anywhere. this side of the Iron Cur tain. This didn't mean, he said. that Atlantic pact armies under him aren't already prepared to give good account of themselves if call ed to action in the meantime.
 Ike added some pointed provisos to the Capitol Hill delegation, led by Republican Sen. Homer Fergu- son of Michigan, one of which was that the people of the United States and Congress must not let down" in their support of the Atlantic pact program.
 T know that most Americans re- alize that we cannot afford to let that happen, with the world in it's present state," Eisenhower empha- sized. Too much is at stake"

Senate Dialects

Everyone likes handsome Sen. Burnett Maybank of South Carolina, but his colleagues sometimes have difficulty understanding him. May bank comes from the Toy country" around Charleston. where both ne- groes and whites speak a dialect of their own.
 AS result, Senators sitting right next to Maybank sometimes have no idea what he is saying.
 At recent Senate Banking Con- mittee meeting, for instance, May bank rattled off an explanation of new bill. Senator Flanders, Yer mont Republican, listened careful ly. Then in his New England drawl he remarked: "To paraphrase Vol tiare, don't understand a word you say, but I'll defend your right to say it."

SNOW GEESE ARRIVE
AT PEA ISLAND REFUGE

Rodanthe.-Approximately 1000
snow geese have arrived at Pea
Island National Wildlife Refuge
and the population of these rare
wildfowl which have absolute pro-
lection from gunners along the
entire coast of North America is
scheduled to increase approximate
ly $4,000 by mid-December.
Snow geese are not the only
wildfowl which seek the protec-
ton and foods available at Pea
Island. Just about every species of
wild duck that inhabits the Attain
tic Flyway, Canada geese and a
few brant spend the winter season
there.
Since the establishment Of the
refuge several years ago several
species of duck have remained
there during the breeding season.
An example of this were some 700
gadwals which were hatched in a
wild state in the marshes of the
refuge during the 1851 season.
Beginning next week refuge Off
cials will start trapping the geese
for banding purposes. Last year
about 300 were trapped with nets,
banded and then released.
