FWS APPEALS TO
FISHERMEN TO
RETURN FISH TAGS
Fishermen of the valley area
need no reminder that May 28
opens the fishing season this
year. However, the Fish and
Wildlife Services asking the co
operation of all fishermen in re
turning tags that may be found
attached to rainbow trout or
steelheads.
The FWS is studying the con
ditions influencing the survival
of the rainbows and steelheads.
Under natural conditions the
average female rainbow trout
will lay down approximately
1,000 eggs, a typical steelhead
about 3,500; from each nest only
a fraction of a perecnt will sur
vive to maturity, according to
Robert W. Allin, FWS biologist.
It is the FWS’s aim to define pre
cisely the factors causing this
mortality and when these factors
are understood, to increase sur
vival through manipulation of the
environment, he said. If the Ser
vice can successfully accomplish
its program and increase survival
by even one percent, more fish
will be made available to the an
gler than could be produced un
der any other program or com
bination of programs, Allin point
ed out.
The FWS last year initiated
this project through a tagging
and migration study of rainbow
trout on Cottonwood Creek at the
outlet of Wasilla Lake. Work is
continuing this year and an addi
tional tagging station has been
set up at the inlet of Wasilla
Lake. Tagging stations on the An
chor River are to be established.
The success of the FWS’s pro
gram, and ultimately the quality
of fishing the public will receive,
will be governed by the quality
and quantity of information ob
tained from our research, Allin
said.
’"It therefore, is essential that
every tag obtained by fishermen
be returned or the data phoned
in to the FWS so that the infor
mation carried by that tag may
be secured/' the biologist stated.
Tags are located on the back, just
behind the dorsal fin, he added.
Information desired by the FWS
is specifically: (1) tag number
and color (green, pink or red),
(2) date of recovery, (3) length
of fish to the fork in the tail, (4)
specific location the fish was
caught, and (5) the name and ad
dess of the angler.
At the close of the summer a
drawing will be held for those
persons returning tag informa
tion. The winner of this drawing
will receive a complete spinning
outfit including a Mitchell reel,
donated by Van’s Sporting Goods:
glass rod from Northern Commer
cial Company; $20 worth of line,
lures, etc. from Monty’s Depart
ment Store; tackle box from An
chorage Hardware; and boots
from Kennedy’s Sport Shop.
“Your help is needed”, Allin
stated. “Please return your tags.”

By Wes Lancaster
It was on February 23, A. Dfc
155 that eleven brave witnesses
sealed their testimony for Christ
with their own blood. The fur3r
of the mob in the arena in the
ity of Smyrna rose to a high pitch
They cried out, “Bring Polycarp
here, their leader” Polycarp was
now an old man and had already
been hidden by his friends in a
farmhouse outside the city. He
might have remained there had
not a slave been tortured until he
told where Poly carp was. Poly
carp was asked to curse Christ.
The reply of the aged minister
was “Eighty and six years have
I served Him and He never did
me wrong; how can I speak evil
of my King who saved me?”
“Then I’ll throw you to the
beasts,” said the Governor.
“Bring on your beasts,” said
Polycarp.
“If you scorn the beasts, Til
have you burned.”
“You try to frighten me with',
the fire that bums only for an.
hour,” said Polycarp.
They burned him as they had
burned others, but they could not
destroy the truth.
Poly carp was but one of many.
History is saturated with the
blood of literally millions who
have given their lives for Christ.
They had a fellowship with God
that was more precious than phy
sical life.
A wise man would rather live,
and die, if necessary, for Christ
and His cause than to waste these
fleeting years of time on self and
die in sin. Wouldn’t you?
Pd. adv.
ses will be Doothy Carlson and
Marge Cook.
