Rivers, says he hopes the Republicans in the Territory can re up enough votes to stay in business He joined Ken C. Johnson, Presi- dent of the Anchorage Democratic Club, in the hope that the two- rarty system would be maintained. They expressed this after An- chorage Republicans said candi- dates are hard to find because of a paucity of Reputlican voters.

Junior members of the club’s board of di- rectors were nominated and elect- ed by a show of hands. They are: Jack O’'Connor, Dean \Vxllum\ Sfmpson MacKinnon, William I Chipperfield, Henry Harmen and M. L. MacSpadden. The six will elect a president and other officers from among themselves. Move Deer Season Most important suggestion the group put before the Game Com- mission was that the deer season stay open until November 15 next year, with the same opening date of September 1. This will allow hunters to get deer which do not| come out of the hills until late The question of illegal winter kill- ing and the falling of the deer population was discussed. It was believed a few “good winters” would repopulate the ranges. A doe sea- son came in for considerable talk,j with a decision to leave matter: “as they are,” a buck season only.; "It was moved to request research' into why deer are falling off inl the Southeast area. Assistance of groups and individ- | uals in outlying areas who feed deer during winter months was brought up, with the made that they be helped by food being sent to them. It was voted to plant goats on Admiralty Island, end to favor re- | gulation to keep deer hides from | being wasted. | ‘Suggestions were brought out that | the deer and duck season end (o-} gether, to allow hunters to use one | trip to bag both. Limit of ducks was asked to be raised, but decid- | ed against. | FISHING BOAT RELIEF | SIGHTED BY (G PLANE The fishing vessel Relief, object of a Coast Guard search yesterday in Pytus Bay, was sighted late yesterday afternoon by a Coast Guard aircraft off Midway Point near Glass Peninsula.

Best To North Hynes, with Ohmer in the “Charl- es T" and “Brooklyn” found shrimp at practically every haul, he recall- ed, at depths from 20 to 80 fath- oms. Among the best grounds they found were Port Houghton, Seymour Canal and upper Lynn Canal. The upper Lynn Canal showed such premise that Ohmer took a small floating plant there and operated it for a time near Sulli- van Island. Catches of pinks, side- stripes and coon shrimp—the com- mercial shrimp of Alaska—were better than fair but terrific winter winds of the area hampered opera- tion that Ohmer was forced to give Jack Thompson, Local 462's chi ef, | would not reveal the union’s argu- ments in the ute.
