BAD WEATHER HINDERS IFC HALIBUT 7AGGING Recent high winds and rough weather have not been helpful to‘ the International Fisheries Com- mission halibut tagging program. IFC biologists Dick Myhre and- Euell Hodge succeeded in tagging about 4,000 pounds on the second trip to Icy Straits and brought in about 3,500 pounds that were unfit for tagging. They were unloaded today at the Juneau Cold Storage plant. Most of the halibut caught for tagging were taken off Porpoise Island in Icy Straits, although lines were put out in other areas. The biologists were aboard the halibuter Janette skippered by Capt./ Merle Rhodes. Myhre and Hodge are leaving Friday for Seattle and will be re- placed for the remainder of the ex-| pedition by biologists William Hardman and Kenneth Exelby.

SCHOOL TEACHERS CONTINUE T0 SHOW INTEREST IN ALASKA That the present international situation and Alaska’s geographic position in possible events to come has not deterred the school teach- ers’ interest in the territory and the desire to teach in its schools is indicated in the large number of applications for teaching positions already received this year for the 1951-52 semesters, it was revealed today in the office of the Terri- torial Department of Education. Applications so far equal those of previous years and are greater than in some years. They come from all parts of the United States and two are from teachers in Ha- wail who desire to come to Alaska next year on an exchange transfer. —EMPIKE %M1 ADS PAY— | JUNEAU LISTED 0:CENTURY THEATRE + WHERE HITS ARE A HABIT!
