New Tax In Effect Today

The new City Sales Tax goes into effect today, so if the clerks are little slow in giving change, they are to be excused, until they can be accustomed to the new rate, which is somewhat more difficult to figure than the old rate of 2 per cent. Charts have been pre- pared by the City for the business houses with the tax figured up to S2O.OO. These will be of some help.
 All those who find it hard to take the new tax in their stride should keep in mind that Front Street will be paved in a few weeks, and that is where lot of those sales tax pennies are going this year.

Ten-Day Excursion Takes Explorers
 Canoeing to Teller

More than 700 feet of film re- cords the trip just completed by the Explorer Scouts from Nome to Teller on a ten-day outing.
 The first night of the trip, the group of A Explorers and three adult leaders camped out at Cot tonwood, where they found the greyling plentiful. The next day and half was spent at Pilgrim Springs, where they not only en- joyed hours of swimming in the hot water, but did several hours of work for their conservation badges. The next phase of the trip took them on an eight-hour canoe trip and in to Igloo. When they entered the Imuruk Basin they enjoyed the novelty of catching pike. Camped along the beautiful Tuksuk Basin, they saw about 1000 deer of the Kakarak herd, crossed into Grantley Harbor, and were given hearty welcome at Teller, where everyone was out to meet them.
 The Explorers report that the people of Teller went all out to make their stay interesting. A special move was shown, and dance was held for the young people.
 Sam Ailak, who was raised in the Igloo and Teller country, knows the river route well, and was not only a good guide, but made the trip interesting with his stories and legends of the people of that area. Without his guidance, the trip might have talk en much longer, as there are many blind sloughs along the Kuzatrin and Kruzamapa Rivers through which the party passed.
 In the party were Ray Arnold and Rod Boucher, Life Scouts; Taylor MOtO Jr. and DaVld CratC, Star Scouts, and the following First Class Scouts: Eddie John sen, Johnnie Herman, Freddie Kungesuk, Bob Oman, Curtis Chunn, Danny Rockne, Billy Mul- Ter, Ernie Ailak, Charlie Nershak and Wayne Wittie.
 They were accompanied by their advisor, Ash Craft, under whose guidance the canoes of fiberglass were made by the Explorers them selves. Rev. Edgar Bibb was cam eraman for the trip.
 They returned home by plane, courtesy of Dusty Rhodes, Lee Adams and Bill Munz.

Not only has Drysdale's work
