Letter to Lite Editor
Dear Publishers:
I received your letter relative to
reporting the King Cove Times
some few weeks ago. Briefly, when
we left for the lower 48 last spring
we had thought the cannery store
keeper would take over, but she
went Outside shortly thereafter.
Then, Kathryn Larsen pinch hit,
but she is now in school at Mt.
Hair Seal Hunting
License Needed
The Department of Fish and
Game 'has issued a reminder to
hunters that a license is required
to take all species of game in
Alaska, l^aws and regulations pre
sently in effect include the re
quirement that a valid hunting
license be possessed by those who
take heir seal for bounty.
Following the end of the com
mercial salmon season, many hun
ters have turned to the hunting
of hair seals for bounty, accord
ing to Jack Rhien, Chief of the
Division of Protection. The volume
©£ seal scalps presented for boun
ty payment has increased material
ly in the last few weeks, Rhien
said, and it is expected that a
continuing large number of scalps
Will be submitted within the next
few months.
A condition upon which hair
seal scalps are presented for
bounty payment is that they be
taken in conformity with all ap
plicable laws. For this reason, the
honoring of bounty affidavits is
contingent upon possession of a
valid hunting license by the claim
ant.

Edgecumbe. When we returned to
King Cove, we were late, too late
to gather news for the September
issue.
When your ietler came we gave
it to Mr. and Mrs. Tomas Dobson
here and requested them to find
a news reporter. We hope they
have done just that, but possibly
you should contact them, also.
I am sory I can not continue
reporting for I did enjoy it last
year. But, really, I’d make a better
editor than I would a newshocmd.
The news has gotten old before
I dig it up. It will take more of a
rover than I to keep it sizzling.
I’m sure a local resident will do it
