the county was about 20 bushels

Bank Adds Two New Directors

The Alaska State Bank, which operates a branch bank in kenai with J. R. Lietzke as manager, elected two new directors to the reelected 15-man board at a spec ial meeting of stockholders at Anchorage last week.
 The newly elected directors are Lowell Thomas, Jr, and Carl Brady, both of Anchorage.
 Thomas, widely known as a world traveller, author and recent Republican candidate for the U. s. Congress, has compiled a new film on Alaska which has been sent to National Broadcasting Go. at the request of NEG vice presi- dent William McAndrew.
 The films showing is being sought in an effort to offset some of the damage done to the State of Alaska by the adverse publicity in the David Brinkley television program broadcast over NEG net work on Jan. '.
 Thomas film report on the ec- onomic development of Alaska was project begun year ago with part of the cost of the pro- ject being assumed by the Alas ka Bankers Association and the State Chamber of Commerce.
 Brady, the other newly elected director of the Alaska State Bank. is board member of the Anchor age Chamber of Commerce, is president of Era Helicopters, and a permanent member of the board of directors of the Helicop- ter Assoc. of America.
 The board reelected all officers in their present positions with R. A. Kennard as president and Mrs. Brideen Crawford as board chairman.

 The National Association of Conservation Districts is a highly respected organization which is dedicated to the promotion of "good land use"
 NACD members participate in formulation of programs affect ing all aspects of soil and water conservation. Of particular inter est to Alaskans is the work of the NACD public lands committee.
 The decision to join the nation al organization was taken at-the regular January subdistrict meet ing held on Jan. 10 at Niniichik.
 The present board of supervis- ors of the Ninilchik Soil ConEer- vation Subdistrict includes Rudy Ogren, Floyd Blossom, Ed Rofkar, Danny Garroute and Gene Smith.

Social Security
 Taxes Increased

Workers and their employees will now pay higher social securi-f ty taxes, dating back to Jan. 1, 1863. By law, the tax rate on wages increased on that date from the past years 37sH each on workers and employers to 35sfe each. The Unemployment tax rate goes from 47Hl to 5.4G for 1863 earnings.
 Social security taxes are collect ed on only the first $48O0 of wag- es or self-employment income. A worker who has wages of $4800 and also has income from a bus mess pays only on his wages.
 Self-employed people pay their social security taxes once a year when they make their Federal in- come tax returns. When making returns on 1862 income, self-em- ployed businessmen will pay the 1862 tax rate of 4.7H.. The new rate applies only to 1863 income, which, in most cases, won't be re- ported until 1864.
 The new. rates will, under pre- sent law, be in effect through 1865. Another increase is sched-. uled in 1866. The top rate sched- uled to go into effect in 1868 is 4Aee each for workers and their employers and 6.9ee for the self employed.
 According to Lee R. Christen- sen, district manager for social security, these increases are to keep the system self-supporting and soundly financed.

FILA Making Many Loans For Homes on Peninsula

Farmers Housing Administra- tIon has approved l3 new housing loans for the first half of the 1863 fiscal year on the Kenai Peninsu- Ia amounting to S206,S50. There are also two subsequent housing loans amounting to $7,500, one new operating loan of 5000 and two subsequent operating loans amounting to S10,000, bringing the total loan volume to $229,- 35O.
 Of this total amount. eight new homes were financed in the amount of $170,350 averaging S21 ,293.75 per home; five new loans were made for completion or remodelling of d w e lings amounting to $36,500 for an av- craze of S7,300, and sum of S15,000 was used among three farm families for farm operating purposes.
 The use of these loan funds in this area is quite significant in relation to Rural Area Develop ment, stated John P. Bugli, Alas

that in the final analysis trad ing stamps act as a discount, or price reduction, and hence, probably acting on the old com mon law precept that a plain- tiff should come to court with clean hands, made this unu- suai decision.
 This decision is an important one in the legal cloth on the subject of trading stamps be- ing woven by many court yer diets in many courts in many scattered areas.
 It would seem eventually that the Federal Trade Com mission, which has off and on tOyed around on the trading stamp matter, will be forced to take nOn-weasel-wOrded position on the subject.
 * * *
 More and more regulations are being formulated and en- forced that have the intent of advising the nstallment buyer what the cash price of the merchandise is, and what the price is when bought on the in- stallment plan.
 Thus, is seems perfectly log icaf that consumer should be given two prices on merchan- disc they buy with trading stamps. One would be the price without stamps, the other the price if they take stamps.
 Obviously, if the consumer wants to pay extra to get the trading stamps, the consumer should have that privilege.
 But the consumer should not be permitted to suffer under the delusion that with trading stamps, something for nothing is being gained.

Ninilchik Farmers First in State To Join National Conservation Group

Ninilchik area farmers chalked up another first last week not only for the Kenai Peninsula but for the state of Alaska as we'll.
 Ninilchik Soil Cons ervation Subdistrict became the first dis trict in Alaska to join the Nation al Association of Conservation Districts. This action, reported by Rudy Ogren, chairman, heralds the first attempt by local sub- district to bring Alaskan needs before this national farm group.

 Tn terms of employment, one could estimate five jobs directly to each housing loan employing tradesmen such as carpenters, plumbers, electricians. excavation crews, concrete crews, painters, plasterers and other construction services Bugli said
 In addition to direct results of rural housing construction, vari- ous other items of development are stimulated in the area, such as freight, retail and wholesale mer- chandise stores, grocery stores, service stations, banking, insur- ance and several other business es, the supervisor added.
 The Farmers Home Admins tration provides credit in rural communities to eligible applicants who are unable to finance their needs with their own resources and from private credit sources.
 The loan authorities of the Farmers Home Administration are now broadened to include housing credit to senior aged citizens, loans to associations for shifts in land use, and loans to family farmers for recreational enterprises, Bugli said.

'. w. haroer
 In Pennsylvania, a discount operation started using cut prices on Gillette products as bait to induce store traffic. Gillette took court action.
 Judge Smith apparently took cOgnizance of the merit of the Gillette pleading. But he also took cOgnizance of the fact that in many stores where Gill lette products are sold at the established price, these stores also give trading stamps on the items they sell, including Gillette products.
 On this basis. the judge hand ed down a decision giving GI- lette 90 days in which to advis ? all retailers they must stop giv . ing trading stamps with Gil lette products. If Gillette fails to follow ruling. then Gillette must stop objections to discount pricing on their products.
