Cases of 1951 Salmon Pack
SEATTLE, UP) — Military re
•quirements will take about 360,000
cases of the 1951 salmon pack
from Alaska and Puget Sound,
the Defense Fisheries Administra
tion here has been advised.
The total will include red and
cohoe salmon, according to Maj.
It. L. Hoff of the Army Quarter
master Depot, Oakland, Calif.
The estimate was presented dur
ing a joint meeting of Defense
Fisheries Administration and Of
fice of Stablization officials.
Industry spokesmen said they
believe the military quota can be
supplied without resort to a “set
aside” program such as was in
effect in World War II. Officials
feel the volume can be procured
on a voluntary basis, through ne
gotiated contracts and otherwise. I

SMUGGLER WINS
CONTRABAND
SINGAPORE, (/P)—A 30-year
old Chinese bumboat man com
missioned to smuggle $61,000
worth of gold bars into Singapore
stands to get the fortune for him
self if the owner does not‘claim it.
A British court ordered the gold
given to Lim Chye Seng when the
prosecution case collapsed and
Lim was acquitted on a charge of
importing the bullion without a
permit.
The court ruled he was a public
$
carrier who had picked up the
shipment in the harbor in good
faith. He had not broken the law
and remained in possession of the
gold when no one called for it.
said canned salmon should not be
a specific OPS regulation due to
the wide range of prices for the
various salmon varieties.

Nome Area Gets
1000-watt Air Force
Radio Station
(Fairbanks News Miner)
The air force is building a new
radio station at Nome, that should
offer some opposition to the pro
paganda blasts beamed daily at
Alaska by Russia’s “Moscow
Rose.”
An air force spokesman said
the 1000-watt transmitter, part of
the armed forces radio service
network, will be completed with
in 60 days. Under ideal condi
tions it will have a range of 1000
miles, he said.
Chief purpose of the station is
to provide news, music and com
edy programs to GI’s stationed at
lonely Alaskan outposts. The only
entertainment now broadcast in
the Arctic and Bering Sea regions
is in the Nome area, from a tiny
50-watt station at Marks air force
base.
For the past several months a
transmitter in Siberia has been
beaming broadcasts toward Alas
ka by an English-speaking wom
an and several men proclaiming
the good life to be had in Russia
a n d assailing non - Communist
countries as imperialist and war
mongering.
Other Russian programs include
the latest American popular music
and a question and answer pro
gram where the announcer gives
names and address of Americans,
who he says write letters asking
about Russia.
The new AFRS station will give
isolated Eskimos, trappers, miners
school teachers, and townspeople
an opportunity to tune in some
thing besides Radio Moscow.
Lt. Col. M. R. Marston of the
Alaska national guard said recent
ly that .the Russian propaganda
was a menace to the impression
able Eskimos. Although he ex
pressed his belief that “Moscow
Rose” had failed to win any con
verts.
The enlarged station will be
heard well inito Siberia, but no
attempt will be made to direct
programs to Russia, a spokesman
said.
“The station will not carry
propaganda directed at either
Russians or Americans,” the
spokesman added.
Jupiter’s diameter is estimated
at 11 times that of the earth.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
In the mellow light of high
tapered candles the memorable
Junior-Senior Banquet was held
in the Pioneer Hall on Wednesday
evening, May 16. The hall was
beautifully decorated in aqua blue
and white with candles of har
monizing color. The canopy of
interwoven blue and white stream
ers above and a restricting wall
of streamers on the north side re
sulted in a very pleasing and ap
propriate area for the banquet.
By virtue of the fact that the
event was held in a building dedi
cated to noble pioneers of the re
gion, gave an additional tone of
solemnity. *
It was a festive occasion com
memorating the parting of two
classes. It is hoped that the knowl
edge accumulated by these stu
dents will help them in their
journey through life. Teachers in
the years of long ago and present
have given of their talents and
special abilities in the interest of
these students. It is hoped (that the
desire to learn will inspire many
of them to greater intellectual
achievements.

Last Friday the students held
their annual election for the Stu
dent Body Association. Clarence
Willoya was elected president;
Katherine Bjomstad, vice presi
dent; Clara Brown, secretary;
Lawrence Okpealuk, treasurer;
and Geraldine Fagerstrom, ser- #
geant at arms.
The gymnasium has been beau
tifully decorated for the annual
Prom which will be held tonight.
Baccalaureate services will be
held at 8 o’clock Sunday evening,

Graduation exercises will take
place Thursday evening in the

The solar day on the planet
Venus, which is still visible in
the western sky, is infinite in dur
ation. Because 'the planet rotates
only once during its revolution,
one side of Venus is in perpetual
sunlight.
Conditions are favorable for an
earthquake some place in the
world within the next five days.
This is based on astronomical ob
servations.
Once upon a time there was a
boy penguin and a girl penguin
who met at the Equator. After a
charming interlude the boy pen- ^
guin went to the North Pole and
the girl penguin went to the South
Pole. Later on, a telegram arrived
at the North Pole stating simply:
“Come quick. I am with Byrd.”
