To Welcome Visitors
June 1 was the kick-off for the
big 1956 Alaska Visitors hospi
tality program. On that date dis
tribution began on attractive pins
for visitors, bumper strips for
visitors’ cars and a visitor survey
will be started..
A welcoming letter from Gov.
B. Frar^k Heintzleman will be
given to each arriving visitor to
gether with the pin and a post
card survey blank. Arrivals by
air will be given the material by
the stewardesses on the various
airlines serving Alaska. Motorists
will be contacted at points of en
try at Haines and Tok Junction
where they will check through
U. S. Customs. Boat passengers
will get their cards and pins from
the boat stewards or at the first
port of entry when they come
ashore in Alaska.
The Governor s letter extends
a cordial welcome to the visitor,
explains that the visitor identi
fication is a gesture of welcome
and expresses the wish that the
visitor will take out time to vis
it the “Sourdoughs” while in Al
aska.
The survey card will yield
much valuable information to
the Alaska Visitor Association
when the results are compiled at
the end of the season, In adni
tion to a count on the number of
visitors a fairly accurate approx
imation of the value of the 1956
tourist season can be made.

and have always been in top
condition at round-up time in

better than the last one to “make
the best Better”. Larry Trow
bridge was in charge of the
games; and Muriel Hanks sug
gested a game. A1 Kirsch led the
“old time dancing”-—the steps
proved to be quite new' to many.

FISH CATCHES
REPORTEDLY BETTER
Fishing reports this week are
much better than opening week.
A number of local fishermen
have reported limit catches and
the youngsters seem to be doing
as well as their elders.
Juveniles fishing in Echo Lake
have taken out some fine look
ing fish—’most of them in the
15-22 inch class. This lake is open
for juvenile fishing only. It was
erroneously stated in last week’s
paper that Keppler lake was
closed to all but juveniles.
Several lucky fishermen have
reported good catches at Keppler
Bradley, Meadow, and twin lakes
this past week.
The continent of Antarctica is
the last unexplored frontier. Al
though discovered in 1820, no
country has successfully attempt
ed to colonize it.
