RABBITS BOUND TO TOP |
DOWN UNDER
CANBERRA— (/P) —War has
glorified Australia’s national pest!
—the rabbit.
Early settlers brought rabbits
from England. Australia spent
millions of dollars trying to get
rid of them. They have been hunt
ed with guns, traps, poison bait,
ferrets and gas. A transcontinent
al, supposedly rabbit-proof fence
was built from north to south in
western Australia years ago. But
the rabbit increased.
Today Australia is almost re
conciled to the pest. The animals
are entirely free of disease. Rab
bit meat is coupon free and even
the more select restaurants are
now serving rabbit. Export of;
pelts to the United States is in
creasing.
The croaking of frogs is almost i
as varied as the songs of birds.

Alaska's Fishing
Season May Be
Lengthened
SEATTLE, Aug. 1— (>P) —The
lengthening of the Alaska salmon
fishing season would be a boon
to the Territory, Vernon Mund
said, adding that the fishermen
; of Alaska also desire better hous
ing facilities and higher prices for
catches and increased hourly
wages for cannery workers.
Mund, a University of Wash
ington professor visited the Ter
ritory for the War Labor Board,
said the seasonality of work is
Alaska’s main labor problem. He
said he believed fishing could be
placed on a “perpetual” basis.
