“I am convinced that a parent’s
gravest responsibility is to under
stand his children and win their
confidence. Many fine, law-abid
ing parents actually do not know
what their children are doing or
how they spend their leisure time.
When they find out, it is often too
late. Their remorse does not re
move the shame which their neg
ligence has caused.
“Boys and girls are not hard to
please. A littfe attention given to
their problems and pleasures can
mean so much. They violate the
9
; conventions of society because
i they are unhappy, because they,
j feel insecure, and because they
have not had the love and sym- ■
pathy due them.
"Hence, my message is for the
parents.
"Are you, the parents of our
young people, doing everything in
your power to develop your boys
and girls into good citzens? Do you
know your sons and daughters?
Do you have their confidence? Are
you acquainted with their friends !
and do you know how they spend
their leisure time?
“If you do not, I suggest that
you take inventory and do what is
necessary to make your home a
place of learning as well as a
place of living.
"A little more attention given
to your child today may save the
begining of a life of degradation
tomorrow.”

Scientists Tag ' i
20,000 Seal Pups
Scientists of the department of
interior, aboard the motorship
Black Douglas cruising in the
north Pacific have “tagged” near
ly 20,000 seal pups in their inves-j
tigation of the migration routes
and food habits of the Alaskan fur
seal herd, the Fish and Wildlife
Service announced. The pups
were marked with metal tags at- i
tached to their flippers.
Recoveries of the tagged seals at
sea during the coming months or
years will yield specific informa-1
tion on the migration habits of the
seals. In 1950, when this year’s
pups will be ready for killing, a
statistical study of the recoveries !
of marked 3-year-olds on the kill
ing grounds will make possible a
check on the accuracy of seal cen-!
sus taken by other methods.
The investigation was started in
1941 on recommendation of the
Department of State, after Japan
notified the U. S. Government that
on October 23, 1941, it would ab
rogate the Fur Seal Treaty of 1911
which prohibited the killing, cap
turing or pursuing the animals at
sea. The Japanese government
claimed that the fur seal herd, at
least in part, was damaging its
fishing industry. Early investiga
tions did not agree with this con
tention and the State Department
recommended that the fish and
wildlife service bring up-to-date
its scientific data on seals to de
termine the validity of Japan’s
claims. Great Britain, Russia,
Japan and the*United States were
signatories to the 1911 treaty.
The Black Douglas, a schooner
yacht, was purchased in 1941 by
the Service and was refitted at Sa
vannah. Ga., but before it reached
Seattle, war was declared and the
expedition was suspended. The
vessel was requisitioned by the
navy and during the war was in
the patrol service. It left Seattle to
resume the investigation last
spring.
Dr. Victor B. Scheffer, in charge
of the biologists on the Black
Douglas, now plans to chart the
passage of the seals from their ■
breeding grounds on the Pribilof '
Islands in the Bering Sea to ascer
i tain what they eat and to analyze
the hazards the herd encounters!
during the nine months they spend i
at sea.
i
On the first trip of the Black
Douglas, from May to August, the
scientists observed the seals trav
eling northward along the coast of
British Columbia and Alaska, but
only when they neared the Pribil
| ofs were any large groups of seals
, seen.
During the killing season from
June 10 to July 31, a total of
61,447 fur-seal skins were taken.
Included were nearly 10,000 from
the 4-year-old class, taken experi
mentally this year to determine
whether they are significantly
more valuable to the fur trade.
Ordinarily only 3-year-old bache
lor seals are killed. Not until these
4-year-olds have been processed
and sold will the results of this
experiment be known.
Since 1910 when the Govern
ment assumed direct control of the
fur seals 1,367,322 sealskins have
been cropped for market, worth
approximately $40,000,000.
In mid-November the vessel
will leave St. Paul Island to travel
westward in the wake of migrat
ing seals, as far as the Interna
tional Date Line, to observe par
ticularly how far they venture into
the waters of the western Pacific.
Toward the end of November the
expedition will turn southeast and
observe the seals on their south
bound journey.
When sealing operations on the
Pribilof Islands were concluded
on July 31, construction work was
resumed following the arrival of
the annual shipment of supplies in !
August from Seattle aboard a
navy supply vessel. The walls and ;
roof of the new recrational hall
on St. Paul Island, which will cost
$30,000, have now been complet-1
ed. New homes for two native
families and one service employee
have been started, and the exten
sion to the by-products plant will
soon be finished. Materials have,
been received for the addition’ to
the school building but work on
this structure must await the end
of the school term. On St. George
Island the foundation and walls
of a new blubbering house for the
processing of sealskins have been
completed.

a doubt.”
“Yeah? She’ll come doubtin’ my
sobriety, my veracity, and my fi
delity.”
