Installation of the new weirs is considered by FWS officials to be a great step forward. The en- gineering staff in Seattle is de- signing a weir that promises to be cheaper than previous one, and more easily dismantled before the rivers freeze over. Mounted on steel piling, the A- shaped weirs will be metal-hinged s0 that the sides of the “A" can fold, and lie flat all winter under the ice. @ Installation of weirs enables the FWS to learn exacly the amount of fish taken. The FWS will embark on another special project after the spring ice breakup, or possibly as early as March. The Stream Improvement Program, for which funds have been allocated and plans drawn up, will affect eight A streams, some of them in Southeast Alaska.

At Annette, he will pick up his own plane and fly to Taxco, Mexico. | Spratling, internationally known designer and craftsman, will launch a new program for the native arts and crafts in the Territory. Several workshops will be establlshed; throughout Alaska and a native master craftsman will direct the| center. | To train the master craftsmen, | it was planned to have a workshop | established at Mt. Edgecumbe Vo- cational School. Teaching the Al- askans were to be Mexican master craftsmen from Taxco. Due to immigration difficulties, it was| | impossible to have the Mexican | | men travel to the Territory. | As an alternative plan, five Eski-| mo veterans have been chosen to| | work in Spratling’s center at Tax- | | co. If financial arrangements can | be made, the Eskimos will leave | soon. | | During the winter, Spratling will | | supervise his Alaskan students in| | the making of 200 models, utilizing | native designs and Alaskan mater- | |ials. These models will be used | as guides in the workshop centers | in the Territory. { It is planned to have a show- | ng of the Alaska art chjects in| | all the major citles of the Terri-| tory next spring. Arrangements | have also been completec 1or a | showing at the Museum of Modern | | Art in New York City. | Spratling will establish a per- | manent headquarters here in May. | FOOT TRAILIS CONSTRUCTED TO SECOND MEADOW A foot trail from the ski jump on| the Douglas Ski Trail to the second | ‘\meadow has recently been complet- | | ed by the Admiralty Division of the | | Forest Service.
