Good Business Is
Foreeast For 1949
(By Harry T. Montgomery)
NEW YORK. </P)—'The average
American is told that 1949 will be
another good year, and the fore
cast seems sound.
The American consumer — and
that describes most of us—may
find 1949 more comfortable than
the record boom year of 1948 clos
ing Friday night.
The business man is likely to
have a few more worries in the
new year, but the men and women
who have been struggling with
the high cost of living probably
will find it easier to make their
budgets work.
Underlying all this is the pros
pect that 1949 wdl see the return
of the buyer ’ rrarkei tn most
lines. The man with a dollar will
decide in a leisurely way where
he will spend it, after shopping
around for a price tag he likes.
The new year is likely to bring
he end of all shortages of con
sumers’ goods, including most au
tomobiles. Low-cost housing,
either to buy or rent, probably
will remain in the hard-to-get
class.
Incomes are likely to remain
relatively high as prices dip. Mer
chants will have to work harder
to get their share of the shoppers’
money. “Normal” times, with a
prosperous flavor, seem finally to
be at hand.
This is the meaning of the sta
tistics which the economists gath
er for us at the year-end. These
figures show that 1948 was a rec
ord year by nearly every index of
economic activity. The value of
the goods we produced, the money
we earned, the money we spent—
all were grater than ever before.

Wildlife Service
Plans Curtailment
(If Salmon Fishing
WASHINGTON, (/P# — Alaska’s
fishing industry will be asked by
the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Serv
ice to choose either:
1. A shortened salmon seas >n in
1949, or
2. Closure of 83 salmon traps in
Southeastern Alaska and creation
of several “preserve” areas where
commercial fishing would be ban
ned.
The proposals made by Set on II.
Thompson. Alaska fisheries divi
sion chief, were the subject of a
hearing here today.
Thompson said some modifica
tion may be made in his plan, de
pending on the industry’s reaction.
The preserves he contemplates
would be comparatively large
areas that need rehabilitation.
I They w'ould be subject to tempo
rary opening if salmon runs are
heavy.
The trap closures he proposes
include 15 in Icy Strait, 13 in ‘he
western district, all of the 32 in
the eastern district, nine in the
Wrangell district and 16 in the
Ketchikan district.
He said the earliest opening
date for the fishing season would
be August 8—uniform throughout
all of Southeastern Alask i. Clos
ing on September 3 woyld be sub
ject to extensions.
Similar meetings are scheduled
at Sitka, Wrangell and Seattle.
A session at Juneau Friday, 20
fishing industry representatives
raised no objections to the pro
posed area and trap curtailments.
I’ve got a job at the Cafe la Pou
Morte as a feature entertainer.
Do you go on vvi'h a band?
No, the police insist I wear
' more than that.
