2AGE TWO THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE— JUNEAU ALASKA IF THE LABEL IS THE HAT IS RIGHT Smartaess that's different “FIFTH AVENUE® SPECIAL” Even an authentic Fifth Avenue* style must be spe- | cialized for men of special tastes. That's why we "offer this new "Hat of the Avenue” special with its "turned-under edge, its younger look. In felt and workmanship it measures up to the high Knox stand- l‘ards that admit no compromise, even today. B.MBEARENBS,; G HOUSE ADDS ~ MONEY BILL | Ways and Means Measure Is Over Last Lower | Assembly Hurdle After giving its record-breaking | General Appropriations measure a |last loving paternal caress, with a $225,000 boost to Public. Welfare Director Russell Maynard’s office, the House of Representatives today finished with the bill and left it at the sum of $6,522,172, an increase of $348,104 over the bill's original total. Biggest share of the boosts went to Public Welfare, Director May- nard - getting an increase in three departments of finance over what the Board of Budget had originally recommended: from $100,000 to $264,500 for administration; from $250,000 to $450,000 for relief, and from $50,000 to $76,000 for the Juvenile Code. Minor cuts of bill figures were: $30,000 from the Alaska Territorial Guard fund; $3;360 from the salary of Commissioner of Labor Walter Sharpe, and $4,240 from assayer salaries in the Commissioner of Mines monies. Glad to be done with the bill, House members let it go its normal route to third reading and final vote. A eulogy was delivered by Rep- resentative A. B. Cain lauding the Ways and Means Committee for its “dilligence,”. declaring that dis- regarding a “scathing minority re- iport” and “also an editorial,” the committee had “proved it was being |careful with the taxpayers’ money.” Cain pointed tQ-the fact that the bill's recommendations had not | | Mlgr Sarongs; (Idlhes Leave Lamour Cold SARONG—In 11 films it never came down.
