VETERANS' BOARD 10 ASK "DEFROST" OF ALLOTED SUM Four members of the Alaska Vet- erans’ Board will meet with %.e Territory’s Board of Administra- tion this week to ask that funds allotted them for veterans’ loans be defrosted. The men, who arrived from throughout the Territory yesterday met in the offices of Veterans Commissioner Floyd T. Guertin to go over budget matters and policies for the coming year. With requests for loans far ex- ceeding funds available to the board, a loan of $1,500,000 was granted them by the last legisla- ture, but the money was frozen when Alaska went into the red shortly after the assembly dis bursed. With the recent easing of funds and small sums allotted to various departments as tax money has been erasing th¥ Venitory’'s debts, the commission has made efforts to get a percentage of the amount ap- propriated to it. The commission was set up by a temporary sales tax raising what was to be a revolving fund, with payments from loans, plus interest, to pay for operating expenses. Loan requests from World War II vet- erans have far exceeded expec- tations, however, and so a loan was arranged for. The money ap- propriated was not allocated to the commission, but was granted on a repayment basis. Those here for the meet are John Hellenthal, Anchorage, chairman; Robert Ellis, Ketchikan; Roland Brousseau, Nome; and Wallace Cathcart Jr., Fairbanks. Embert Demmert, member-at-large from Craig, was unable to attend.

Ber- j THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA |RESEARCHERS T0 T05S BACK SOME BIG KING SALMON A small percentage of the troll salmon catch in Southeast Alaska this season will be tossed back to the water, and trollers will co- operate in letting the fish go. This was announced today by C. |L. Anderson, director of the Ter- ritorial Department of Fisheries, who has been meeting with branch- es of the United Trollers of Al- aska in Southeast Alaska fishing communities getting background for a study of Alaska's “forgot- ten fish” which will be begun this year. % He has been accompanied at the meetings by Robert R. Parker, fish- eries biologist, who will carry out the research program. Parker will accompany trollers on their boats to the grounds this season and will tag fish caught. Those under minimum legal size will simply be tagged and released. But some of the kings above the legal minimum size of 26 inches will be weighed, tagged, and thrown back in. Fishermen will be paid maiket- price for the legal length | fish tagged and returned to the water by Parker. All silver salmon thrown back will be paid for, since there is no minimum legal size for the cohoes, “This method will be pensive than chartering a boat for the season,” Anderson said, “and the results should be just as good.” The troll salmon in Southeast \Ahskn along with black cod, are \ tagged and less ex- termed “forgotten fish” because so little has been done to learn of their habits, Although king salmon migrations of as much as 1,000 miles have been recorded, the life cycle of the big salmon is not pre- sely known, according to Ander= son. Large and small salmon must be tagged because those under legal size may be from entirely different “stocks” than the large ones, Rescarch into Alaska’s salmon has been limited to the species that go into cans, he said. Anderson and Parker will meet with trollers in Craig and Ketchi- kan early in April. The research rrogram will be mapped in its fin- al form following those meetings. Anderson said the cooperation he has received from the . fishermen has been gratifying. At Sitka, sev- eral fishermen turned over their loghooks to the Department of Fisheries yepresentatives to, aid in the research program. The logs, which record the place where fish were taken, the species taken and the time of the year they were taken, will give researchers an idea of the relative proportion of small and big red and white kings over a period of years, he said. Ultimate goal of the researchers‘ is knowledge of the habits of the fish to make possible regulations which will mean a perpetual har- vest of troll salmon from the waters of Southeast Alaska, Anderson said.

COMMUNITY CALENDAR OF KINY IS TO BE CUT Juneau’s Civic Events Calender on station KINY will be discon- tinued at the end of this montn, | says Bob Druxman, local public re- | lations man, who has been operating | this service since its - inauguration |almost a year ago. Several reasons were given for its discontinuance. Druxman said only a few organizations have used the calendar services for planning their events to avoid conflict with other local activities. He said he did not feel that enough persons were in- terested in using it to continue the service and further explained that some organizations also did not bother to notify him of changes from their regular schedules. The discontinuing of this central Civic Events Calendar will not, how- ever, eliminate the events calendar published daily by The Empire or the calendar broadcast each morn- ing on Druxman’s KINY radio pro- gram. The Empire calendar con- | tains orly information furnished daily by the organizations con- | cerned. The, radio calendar will do likewise in the future and will dis- continue its automatic information. | No charges are made for the use |of these calendars which was the | case with the central calendar. | | TOASTMASTERS CANCEL MEETING THIS WEEK Taku Toastmasters, who meet | every week to improve their pub- | lic-speaking ~ abilities, have can- | celled this Thursday’s dinner ses- | sion in the Baranof Gold Room, as ithat meeting place will be used for the Republican banquet. | | | ED LOCKEN HERE | Ed Locken, mayor of Petersburg,| is stopping at the Baranof Hotel. He | arrived on the Denali. "STAGE STRUCK' IS NIGHT LIFE STORY AT 20TH CENTURY Police records indicate that thou- | sands of girls run away from home each year, hoping to crash the bright lights. Only a few succeed, while there are many who. encoun- ter a bitter, tragic fate at the hands of unscrupulous characters. This is 1 vividly depicted in the Monogram | drama, “Stage Struck,” which opens tonight at the 20th Century The-| atre. Kane Richmond, Audrey Lonz, Conrad Nagel and Ralph Byrd arc the quartette of co-stars who give | the production its dramatic force. Richmond gives a convincing per- formance as a slick racketeer, while Audrey Long lends great charm t her role as the girl in search of he sister’s murderers. Conrad Nagel, popular film veteran, is excellent as a police lieutenant, while Raloh Byrd is likewise creditable as the law officer who falls in love with Miss Long. Murder, deception and highlight the screenplay by Geo: Wallace Sayre and Agnes Christine| Johnston, adapted from an m'u:m\x} story by Sayre. WELLMAN HOLBROOK | HOME ON DENALI Wellman Holbrook, former Assis- tant Region Forester with the U. S. Forest Service, who retired five| years ago, arrived in Juneau on the Denali.

From there they went to Detroit, pur- chased a car and then toured the| southern states, went over into| Mexico, and returned via southern | California to Alameda. Mr. and | Mrs. Holbrook expect to be at their | | Point Louisa home until next fall | and their many friends wil wel- come them home, COASTAL FLIGHTS BRING 18; TAKE 17 Alaska Coastal Airlines flights yesterday brought 18 persons to Juneau and carried 17 from here to points in Southeast Alaska, To Sitka: F.

All postage paid by Walter Field Co. No. 69 and | HEALTH QUESTIONS Dr. John M. Montgomery, D. C. Q—Is Chiropractic recognized by reg- wular Physicians? A—Many progressive Physicians rec- ognize the great merit in Chiropractic. This is evidenced by the statement of Dr. John A. Fisher, a well-known Phy- sician of Philadelphia, l:vlm says: "|The Chiropractors are working marvels so wondrrlul that even members of the Medical Fraternity are taking notice of their great work.” o0 Q—Is Chiropractic effective in Cbl'l_- dren's Diseases? A—I¢ is with children that the results ough Chiropractic are even more ’rt:naiable lhl‘:l with adults. This is because the average child has greater reserve vitality. Quicker results are also obtained because it is easier to correct abnormal conditions of the spine while they are still in the iorm!- tive stage. Modern parents see to it chat their children have periodical ex- aminations of their eyes and teeth. This is important and is to be com- mended. Yet more important than either of these is the periodical exam- ination of the child’s spine. Spinal curvatures and abnormalities deve_lop quickly during_ this growing 'pe(lml, and by correcting them at this time, we build bodies which are strong and healthy, capable of resisting, the many diseases which might lead in later life to years of suffering. (-3 ) —Why are some people susceptible and others immune to cantagious dis- eases? A—This is because some people pos- sess a natural physical resistance which enables them to throw off the effect of trying conditions. Such a physical state is certainly to be desired. If the budl!y eliminations are normal, the prQbabAl— ity of contracting contagious discases is remote. These eliminating organs cannot be normal unless they receive an adequate supply of nerve energy. The nerves must be kept free, and it is for this reason that Chiropractic ad- justments are so effective in maintain- ing bodily resistance at a high degree. | There is no question but that people who have had the advantage of Chiro-| practic service regularly are far more capable of offering the resistance which is so necessary in combating contagion. Dr. J. M. Montgomery, D. C. will be glad to answer your health questions by mail or in person. Main & Front Sts.—Phone 477 Juneau
