Late Bulletins By Associated Press

Juneau-Attorney General J. Gerald Williams said Thursday he intends to hold Land Commissioner w. s. Chipperfeld to the letter of the law in imposing penalties and foreclosures of non-regis- tered property owners in the territory.
 Earlier, in Anchorage, Chip perfeld had expressed doubts the penalty ($5.00) and fore closure provisions of the act could be enforced due to lack of Territorial funds.
 Williams got into the act by declaring that if Chipperfield doesn't enforce the act he will be guilty of nonfeasance of office.
 Chipperfield has six months to prepare the list of non registered property owners who must pay the five dollar penalty for failure to register before January l, 1854.
 Panmunjon-Cpl. Claude J. Batchelor of Kermit, Texas has been named by the LIN Command as another Ameri- can prisoner of war who has asked repatriation. He is 24 years of age and has been a Communist prisoner since May of 1851.
 He spent part of his inn prisonment with Frank "Pap- py" Noel, Associated Press photographer, in the same prisoner of war camp. Noel said they both plotted escape together.

Last Minute Filings On Property Made

filing came to a close. ! Under the terms of the
 Land Registration Act passed lduring the last session of the Territorial Legislature, aIt property not registered by next July l can be sold by the territory.
 Whether the act will actu- { Ially be enforced remains to be lseen. w. A. Chipperfield, ter lritorlal land commissioner charged with the administra- ,tion of the act said it would not.
 ] However, attorney-generaf Gerald Williams was one of lthe first to comply with the
 law in the Anchorage district, He also took issue with Chip Iperfeld's prediction. |! According to the Anchorage Times a five dollar penalty Twill be assessed on property lowners filing after December l31, 1853.
 A. M. Vokacek, Kodiak com- missioner, had mimeograph registration forms prepared for local property owners wishing to register. In -An- |chorage confusion reigned in the filing office because no forms were available.
 When Williams registered his property early in Decem- !, Der he took the covers off the tunnoticed law and started g. mad scramble of property lowners.
 On 'pperfield said nothing
 had been done to publicize the
 law because his office did not
 have sufficient funds to fur
 nish forms or compile the in- formation received. Following an editorial in the MIRROR on December l2, which criticized the Territoria officials for not giving more notice and publicity to the flaw, a letter and news release dated August 4, 1853 was re- 'ceived from R. N. Bob" De- Armond, special assistant to Governor Heintzleman.
 DeArmond stated that a copy of the enclosed news rel- lease was mailed to news papers and radio stations on August 4, 1853.
 However, members of the MIRROR staff all said they have no recollection of re- ceiving such a news release.
 The Anchorage Times was the first newspaper in the ter ritory to give publicity to the Land Registration Act.
 According to a wire receiv- ed by the commissioner per sons holding or claiming pro- perty under restricted or na- tive deeds are also required to register their property.

GIFT BONUS TO GARDENERS
from the makers of RX-I5

mand for this remarkable plant
food has been so overwhelming
it has been impossible for us to
meet all orders. Last year few
gardeners managed to get more

one point demand became so
great we actually had to stop
advertising. But this year,
thanks to improved mass pro-
duction methods, we already
have enough RX-15 on hand to
fill every single order, no mat
ter how large, as soon as we get
it. So to get you to try RX-15
in your own garden we make
you this special gift offer. With
every can of RX-15 you order
you receive a coupon which en-
titles you to a Painted Desert
Rose bush. Use RX-15 in your
garden, and if you are not 1000
satisfied that it will do for you
everything We promise on this
page-then return the unused
portion of RX-15 and we will
refund every penny you paid
for it. But keep your Painted
Desert Rose" as your gift bonus
for just SOC.
And remember! This is abso-
lutely the very first time the
Painted Desert Rose" is being
introduced anywhere. You can

Sprinkle With RX-15
Save Hours OF
Extra Digging!

But now that miserable drudg-
cry Of digging in manures that
used to go with gardening is
over. For many years scientists
at one of Americas leading
plant experiment stations have
been testing new types of con-
centrated plant foods that
could be dissolved in ordinary
tap water, and when sprinkled
on lawns or plants could 90 to
work in minutes.
Finally, in the spring of 1851
these scientists tested these new
types of water soluble plant
foods to see how fast they could
reach into every root, every leaf,
every stem, every tissue. A
Sprinkling was applied to the
roots of ordinary plants. Exact
ly 60 minutes later the leaves
were cut off and pressed against
special extra sensitive film. The
results show that this type of
water soluble plant food is so
fast-acting that it is absorbed
by roots and reaches growing
tips of leaves in 60 minutes.

vital minerals a plant needs to
bloom and flourish. And if you
starve a plant of even one Of
the life-giving soil minerals it

Southern Speaks
BY DOUGLAS SMITH

A new teacher has recently been
added to the Southern faculty
Mr. Bernard V. High, Of Ridgeley,
w. Va. Mr.. High attended Potomac
State for two years and went from
there to West Virginia University.
Following a two year stay in the
Air Force, he did his practice teach
ing at West Virginia L. Mr.. High
is now teaching two newly de-
veloped eighth grade core classes.
Various home room classes have
begun to make plans for their
Christmas parties. Each home room
is allowed to have two parties
yearly and the biggest one is
usually the Christmas party. The
last two periods of the day on De-
cember % will be given to the
home rooms. Soft drinks will be
bought through the student coun-
ell at the price of five cents bot
tie. No Christmas trees are allowed
in the rooms, but the student coun-
Gil is making arrangements to deco
rate one in the lobby.
The basketball game which was
played at our gym Friday, Deem
Der 10, was one of the best | have
ever seen at Southern. The sports
manship shown by both teams, AL
legany and Southern, was the very
best. Our Southern sharpshooters
compiled an almost unbelievable
record in sinking % out of % foul
shots for a percentage of 1856.
Despite bad weather a very good
crowd turned out for the game.
Members of the Junior-Senior
bands gave a concert matinee per-
Torrance to the school body Mon
day, December 10. The morning
concert took up the better part Of
the first two periods. Students
were admitted for 20 cents or upon
the display of budget tickets.
