It is a fair topic for {conversation. | Why haven't we got ammunition? Surely the manufacturers of arms and ammunition did not make the stuff on a day-to-day basis. Bet your boots, they didn't! i A committee of conservation authorities named to try and work out a solution, dug up the fact that normally we produce about 800 million shotgun shells; 150 ‘million high-power rifle cartridges and approxi- | mately a billion and a half 22 cartridges. Estimates are that some 600 million shotgun shells, 40 million high-power and around a billion .22 cartridges are used for hunting, target practice and predator control. | Funds of the Pittman-Robertson game |tion program come from a 10 percent excise tax on sporting arms and ammunition Normally it runs |around $3,000,000 a year. Here’s the answer—during the two fiscal years preceding the shutdown on manufacture of sporting ammunition this tax exceeded $5,000,000 annually. Surveys conducted by state game executives and U. S. Fish and Wildlife | there was a great reserve supply of sporting ammuni- tion in the hands of civilians. There was this catch while the great majority of hunters had a fair to reasonable supply on hand, the small or one-gallus hunters had none. It developed that there who hogged the works when ammunition. A surplus of any game animal or bird is mot a| healthy condition, starvation or decimating diseases ¢ result. Millions of men engaged in war work find wholesome recreation in the field. State game| authorities, with lessened revenues, will be handi- capped. We are just as hopeful you are that the| War Production Board will permit some manufacture | of sporting ammunition. But, if that manufacture of sporting ammunijtion in any way delays licking the very devil out of the Axis, then we say, Forget it, Uncle Sam! What About Ammunition?

An auto- mebile trip of 90 miles over the Richardson Highway to McCarty was | scheduled with a return to Nenana by river boat from McCarty. A trip |the entire length of the highway and by Copper River and Northwestern Railway to Cordova was abandoned as being too strenuous and the party was to return to Seward by rail from Nenana. v Stanley Baldwin, Britain's new Prime Minister, had won the ad- miration and goodwill of all classes by his simple, unostentatious manner and human qualities. Splendid tributes to Col. Frederick Mears by President Harding and Secretary of the Interior Work marked the ceremony of driving the golden spike formally completing the Alaska Railroad at the north end of the great steel bridge across the Tanana River. The event took place in the afternoon and the President’s speech was brief. Secretary Work, head of the department under which the railroad was constructed, presided, and the spike, driven by the President, was a gift from the city of Anchorage. James McCloskey, local agent for the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company, had added his name to the list of bear killers in Juneau. Thc previous day he brought down a three-year-old black bear on Mt. | McGinnis, near Mendenhall Glacier. With McCloskey were Jack Bur- ford, James Foote, W. B. Crooks and J. Gnauck. Jack Burford, of the H. F. Dott Company, was to leave the following day on the Northwestern for a business trip to Cordova. Miss Augusta Stockton, of Portland, who was a visitor in Juneau, | was to leave on the Admiral Rogers for Skagway and Sitka and return |to Juneau.

MERRY-GO-ROUND Thanks to Admiral “Clothes Horse” King, a naval aviator now has to worry about five different kinds of uniforms. He must have white, blue, green, the new slate gray, and he already has the old khaki uniform. Mrs. Cordell Hull believes in going to bat for her home town. When she heard the Army was putting up a hos- pital in Staunton, Va., she insisted that it be built of brick, even though all bids were in on the usual frame hospital buildings. The Army yield- ed. . . . Later Mrs. Hull demanded that the brick buildings be orna- mented with white pillars and other colonial trimmings. Again the contract was changed. Mrs. Hull got her wish. . . . Other towns which got frame Army buildings are now wishing that the wife of the Secre- tary of State had spent her girl- hood with them. . . .
