"~ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA PUBLIC FORUM RECOMMENDS FOR GAME COMMISSION Some forty p to whom Alaska game provides material for their profession or hobby accepted the invitation to speak their is freely for the benefit of the a Game Commisison before its next week athered last evening in y Council Chambers for the “p meeting arranged by the Fish and Wildlife Service make gestions or recommendations ding FW.S. ame regulations the coming n Jack O'Connor, forcement agent district, presided. rtsmen, registered guides and trappers made up the audience. They went down the list of regu- lations regarding season and bag for each category of game, argued each one, then made recommen- dations for consideration Game Commission. While it was obvious that each hunter and trapper was citing his own experience and desires, in most instances, the meeting was noteble in the emphasis, by a non-organized group, on a long-range program of conservation and restocking meeting n" U to rega for se FWS. law en- for the Juneau In Attendance Among these participating act- ively were Oscar Oberg, Red Will- iams, Ed Sweeney, Henry Harmon, Kinky Beyers, Bill Byington, Jack Manery, Ed Ziegler, Leonard Ber- lin, Lewis McDonald, Joe Trocana, Trevor Davis, John Harris, Lyman Reynoldson, Vic Power, Joe Reidi, Alva Blackerby, Ray Westfall, Hal Sheldon, A.W. Boddy, S. P. White- ley and Bernia Hulk. Two F.W.S. officials, Dan Ral- ston, law enforcement superv.sor, and acting director in the absence of Clarence J. Rhode, and Urban (Pete) Nelson, biclogist, attended and answered questions. Carleton Smith, F.W.S,, also was there. Amcng the motions by which the group went on record were these recommendations: To leave “as is” for the 1949 season, the deer, moose, goat, large brown, grizzly and black bear sea- sons, with the recommendation that the Tracy Arm and Endicott Arm areas (closed during the war) be reopened for goat. Trapping As to trapping, the group went on record as wishing to leave the mnk, otter, weasel, fox and lynx season to the Game Commission, but on beaver the vote favored keeping Taku Valley open each year until the beaver population there has been cut to a point where further regulation is needed. In the matter of game birds, the recommendation was to change the grouse opening from August 20 to September 1, the season to end February 28. It also was voted to recommend there be no open spring season on hooters (blue grouse), an action opposed to one taken at Petersburg. The pres- ent daily bag on grouse and ptar- migan was satisfactory to the ma- jority present. After a great deal of discussion, the gathering recommended in- creasing the limit on game fish irom 20 to 25 a day, with two days’ bag as possession limit. Restocking It was veted to restock Admiralty Island with mountain goat, a pro- jeet which, O'Connor reminded the game en(husiasts, would come un- der the Wildlife Management pro- gram but is not within the pro- vince of the Game Commission. It also was voted to recommend the stocking of streams contiguous to Juneau with trout and /or grayling, and feed. Asked about the F.W.S. program, Urban (Pete) Nelson mentioned the plan to (1) restock animals to their native areas and (2) stock areas similar to native ones, such as the plan to restock mountain goat this year. The annual meeting of the of the | | Alaska Game Commission will open | next Monday and continue through i the week. | Earl N. Ohmer of Petersburg is | chairman. Other members are Gar- net W. Martin of Nome; Andrew | A. Simons, Lakeview; Forbes L. Baker, Fairbanks, and Clarence | JJv Rhode, who, as F.W.S. regional | director, is secretary LEGION SPONSORED ' BOY SCOUT TROOP EXHIBITS CRAFTS 'Legion, Auxiliary Turnout! | Taxes Seating Capacity | of Local Dugout Boy Scout Troop 613, sponsored |by Juneau Post No. 4, The Ameri- can Legion, put on an exhibition last night in the Dugout that en- tertained and informed the mem- bers of the local legion post and its | | auxiliary. Following the opening of | the meeting in regular form, with| First Vice Commander Robert N. | Druxman presiding and with Past | Department Commander Waino Hendrickson acting in the capacity ! |of Chaplain, the gavel was turned r to the Americanism commit- of the post under whose direct'on | {the program had been arranged. of the Commission. ove, the Scout oath, and a rifle was pre- sented to Dick Pegues for his ef- forts in behalf of his Scout troop. DOUBLE FEATURE PICTURES First of two motion pictures in sound and color were then shown. The initial showing consisted of an official portrayal of the whole scaut‘ program, including advancement| meni by members. After the showing of this pic-]| ture the meeting was adjourned in the regular served to the members of the Scuul! Troop which was then dismissed. | The second picture feature was that brought to the post by Glen B. Walker, Alaska district manager for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. | “A Letter from America” is the portrayal of the experiences of a| num.er of foreign-born employees of that firm, and their Americani- zation. The theme develops the story | of what happens to an immigrant who finds himself in the employ of | American industry, and is permitted | under the American system of free enterprise, to the degree that his ability and energy permits, to pros- per and advance. | It compares life in free America | with that in totalitarian states. The | perfection of products by human| initiative and personal ingenuity give the lie to the agitator who seeks to | disrupt and destroy the system of | society which has brought greater omforts to man than has been en- joyed by any people at any time in the history of the human race. ’ The chairman of this committee presented the Americanism commit- tee members who are: C.J. Ehren- | dreich, John Tan (also Second Vice Commander of the post), and Maurice Powers. Edward L. Keithahn and Charles Evitts, also members of this committee were unable to at- tend the meeting. Mrs. Edith Shrenk, Pres'dent ol the Auxiliary was also presented, as was Mrs. Waino Hendrickson, chairman of the Americanism Com- mittee of the Auxiliary, who intro- duced the Auxiliary's refreshment committee composed of: Edna Pol- ley, Elsie Sofoul's, Dorothy Man- they, Esther Gullufsen, Silva Zenger and Sandra Zenger. Following these preliminaries, Americanism committee chairman, Walter W. Smith, introduced Mau- rice Powers, Alaska Executive, Boy Scouts of America, who delivered a trief address outlining the program of the Scout movement, and tracing the close association which joins that organization with The Ameri- can Legion. In his message to the group, Pow- ers introduced the members of the Boy Scout committee of the post, chairman of which is Joe Th'bodeau, assisted by John Tanaka, Gus Giss- berg and Joseph Shofner. Scout Master Donald Moles then took over, and presented a program in which members of the troop dem- onstrated the various knots that are part of the Scout training, and ex- amples of first aid work. The group of Tenderfoot Scouts which had been received into the troop at the Sunday evening Ves- per Services and Court of Honor, were then called forward to repeat ; GOLD and SILVER SWITCHto HARRY GOLD, of 529 Scott Ave., Jean- nette, Penna., has switched to Calvert Re: because*‘in a cocktail or ‘loug one’ it certainly does taste better!” CALVERT | The purpose of the film is to ad- vance Americanism, declares Walk- | er, who has in the past been a| member of the American Legion Post at Mooseheart, Illinois. bt Following the showing of the sec- | ond picture, jce cream, coffee, and | cake was served by the refreshmem; comm ttee.
