AVA Information Folders Ready For Distribution

The Nome Visitors Assn, in an ticipation of the 1853 tourist sea- son and due to the demand of travel agencies for information about Nome, have just printed another 5000 information folders, making a total of 10000 for this year.
 Business houses have been con- tacted for their contributions which go toward making this pulp lication possible and the response has been most favorable as most merchants realize that everyone in the community benefits in one way or another by every tourist dollar which comes into the com munity.
 Tourist agencies all over the states make up the greater part of their reservations for the entire season during the months of Jan uary and February.

Thirty-four Junior Police Are Sworn Tn By City

Thirty-four Junior Policemen attended their first meeting and were sworn in by Magistrate Car rie McLain as Junior Police for the City of Nome and received their badges.
 Robert Summers is proudly wearing the'badge of junior chief; Bruce Russell, sergeant; Jim Roth, captain; Paul Glavinovich, lieu tenant; and Jack Muller, acting sergeant.
 Superintendent William Angell explained to the group the mean ing of the oath they had taken and what the law of the city and it's ordinances really mean, and said that the manner in which they conduct themselves will be judged by everyone in the com munity.
 In case of fire the members of this organization were instructed to stand back and keep other children away from hoses and fire fighting equipment.
 Police Chief Clyde Glass told the boys:
 Junior Officers, like other in dividuals, are judged by their personal conduct. The entire Jun for Patrol suffers when one of us is involved in any misconduct. Any officer who is disloyal to his oath of office becomes a disgrace to his fellow officers.
 "You have the tremendous re- sponsibility of serving as a sym ,bol of right and justice and of setting an example for all other children of Nome.
 'We are also judged by the ef- ficiency with which we perform our duties as guardians of com munity property. Remember that the breaking of one insulator on high tension line could cause the whole city of Nome to burn.
 'The members of the communi- ty will soon realize that the Jun for Patrol officers are striving to enforce the law and abide by the law to the best interests of all concerned"
 Gordon Osborne has invited all Junior Patrolmen to the show Fri day as his guests. They will be admitted free by showing their badges.

Give your paint job the brush
off with lack of know-how
about brushes and-well, you'll
wish you brushed up on this
subject.
You can dip the cats tail into
can of shellac, but undoubtedly
you'll be the one to get the shell
lacking-not the surface you're
working on.
The brush you use for each
paint job, and how you use it,
are as important as the quality
of paint-and sometimes more
so. You can get a can of paint
for small job for buck or two
and ruin a brush that costs three
or four times that much. Or you
can use a cheap brush and ruin
the job.
From experience, we can say
that the only sensible use for a
cheap little brush is to apply tree
paint to a bulldozer scar-and
for that a paddle is acceptable.
A good paint brush is one of
the finest of tools. At the same
time, it is one of the most COM
plicated to handle. To get the
best results, you can use brush
only for the jobs for which it is
made-a fiat brush for fiat sur
faces, a round or oval brush for
round surfaces, narrow brush
for small surfaces and tight
places. And it's UP to you to take
care of your brushes.
A good painter, one worthy OF
being called a decorator, one who
works in homes where woodwork
is treated like furniture, will use
an old brush for the first and
second coats and new brush
for the finish coat. But that
new brush will not be the way
it came out of the store. 1t will
be cured and possibly broken in.
All new brushes are bound to
have a few loose bristles. You
can bring these out in two ways.

 Control of Fisheries and
 Game and Other Legislation
 Transfer of the control of AL aska's fisheries and game to the Territory from the federal gov ernment is sought in bill intro duced this week by Delegate Bartlett.
 In addition five other bills were dropped in the House hopper by Delegate Bartlett, one to provide for a second federal judge for the Third Division; the second to allow the University of Alaska to lease land it owns for 50 instead of 10 years as now permitted; the third to provide for appointment of deputy United States Con- missioners; the fourth to increase the authorization for appropria- ton of funds for the Eklutna hy- droelectric project near Anchor age; and the fifth to permit under special circumstances the appoint ment of federal or territorial em- ployees as members of the Alaska Game Commission.
 The game and fishery transfer bill differs in two ways from the legislation sponsored by Delegate Bartlett in previous Congresses. Prior legislation was confined to the fishery resources and provid- ed that 50 percent of the net pro- ceeds from the sale of sealskins or: the Pribilof Islands would go to the Territory to aid in the cost of administration of the fisheries. The new bill extends control to tbe game resources of the Ter ritory and increases to 70 per cent the funds from the Pribilof Islands operation to help meet the costs of administering game controls plus those of the fishery.
 Delegate Bartlett's bill relative to the Eklutna project would raise the present authorization of $2o,- 565,400 to figure mot to exceed S35 million" Congress in 1850 authorized appropriation of funds for construction of the project but in the ensuing period construction costs have mounted, and the De-
