Grady Carothers and G Allen
who were there to buy 14 bead of
reindeer for Christmas exhibition
in Goldthwaite, Texas, were also
driven from their beds vby the wa
ter. The ice prevented the use of
the corral and because of this, the*
herd could not be counted and
marked. An estimate was made of
the herd.
I
Wolves killed seven or eight
head of reindeer in this herd on
the south side of Selawik Lake
near Kotzebue Sound as it was
moved from fall to winter range.
Four out of five wolves were kill
ed from a plane in November toy a
Fish and Wildlife Service preda
tory control man. Thirty-five wolf
traps were sent to the herders so
they could try and trap the wolves
bothering the herd.
Information has been received
by Belcher from »the Nome ANS
office that repayment of 500 head
of reindeer has ‘been made on the
herd at Golovin on the north side
of Norton Sound. This herd was
borrowed in 1946 to start a new
herd.
In turn, the 500 head have been
loaned to another Eskimo to start
a herd at Igloo. Reindeer are loan
ed toy the ANS to start a herd with
repayment to be made with ani
mals of the same age and sex as
those received on the original
loan.

staff and former secretary of state,!
was the first witness at what
chairman Lyndon Johnson (D.
Tex). of the sub-committee said
would be an overall hearing on
manpower problems.
Under the present draft law,1
boys of 18 are required to register j
but they cannot be drafted until
they reach age 19. Their service
after induction is limited to 21
months.
The present draft law expires
next July 9. The Senate sub-com
mittee hearings are amied at de
veloping such questions as how
long the law should be extended
and with what changes.
Marshall said he felt 18 year
olds should be called for actual
service and combat.
“The program proposes that
young men reaching the age of 18
fulfill their obligation for the na
tion’s defense by entering the
rrmed forces for 27 months of
service and training,” Marshall
9aid. “Immediately thereafter
they would enroll for a specified
term in a reserve component.”
In his State of the Union mes
sage on Monday, President Tru
man called for extension and re-!
vision of the draft law but did
not say what changes he wanted.

Post. They weer James Walsh and
Mark Anderson. The regular order

ing out with a Bring-A-New
Member meeting on January 23rd.
countings of the $80,000,000 estate
was filed this week. The fifth and
last is expected in the spring.
So smoothly has gone the huge
task of distributing the holdings
of the world-famed motor mag
nate that it received the plaudits
of the probate court. Judge James
H. Sexton indicated it was extra
ordinary for an estate of such size.
Only a few brief court sessions
have been needed to settle the af
fairs of the man who helped to
put America on wheels.
And, due to arrangements made
long before his death in 1947, A
break-up of the far-flung Ford
holdings—-to pay taxes—has been
avoided.
The federal government already
has received $32,758,930 in estate
taxes and the State of Miohigan
$8,057,059.
Other expenditures have been
$2,000,000, paid to the widow, the
late Mrs. Clara Bryant Ford, as
executrix, and $920,814 for the es
tate administrators.
Akron is one of the highest
spots in Ohio. It is about 1,000 feet
above sea-level.
