MILITARY ASSISTING
IN CONSERVATION OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Tying-in with a program of the [
Anchorage Sportsmen Association j
—in which it was announced last j
week that more than 1,000,000
fish were planted in territory
streams—is a voluntary program j
by the military which comple- j
ments this effort to maintain Al
aska as a fishing paradise.
The Navy grows fish eggs the 1
Air Force flies them, and the
Army plants them in Alaska
streams.
In 1953, 1,787,400 trout fry were
placed in streams throughout the
territory by the military. Just re
cently, the Air Force flew 500,000
fish eggs to the Lake Louise area,
where 15 soldiers spent a day dig
ging trenches to the lake in order
to deposit the eggs. More than
300,000 eggs also were planted at
Cottonwood Creek in the Mai
anuska Valley, so that the total
since 1953 is 2,587,400.
It’s strictly an unofficial pro
gram; that is, it’s conducted on a
voluntary basis by the military.
But it is official in the sense that
commanding officers in Alaska
are actively cooperating in the
conservation activities.
The Kodiak Conservation Club,
which originated the move, in
cludes in its membership high
ranking Alaska officers. General
James A. Van Fleet, well-known
for his Korean service, is an hon- j
orary member. It began with the
Navy. Rear Admiral John Perry,
commandant of the 17th Naval
District at Kodiak, concerned over
the depletion of fish and wildlife
since his last tour of duty there,
organized the Kodiak Conserva
tion Club in December, 1952.
Composed of Naval and civilian
personnel at the station, it has
225 members, all of whom agreed
to contribute at least 100 hours i
of voluntary labor to help im- j
prove the wildlife situation.
Under supervision of experts
from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service they built their own fish j
hatchery in which fish are grown
—and by the other services (Air
and Army) are being flown and
planted.

Containing a number of chan
ges, the basic regulations by fly
ways which will be in effect dur
ing the 1954-55 season for the
shooting of doves, band-tailed

SCOUT OFFICIAL
VISITS KIWANIANS
Tod Purcell, Boy Scout filed
executive from Anchorage, spoke
to the Palmer Kiwanis Club dur
ing their July 26 meeting.
Purcell pointed out Scout ac
tivities in the Chugach Westward
division, of which Palmer is a
member, and praised the local
group of Scouts on tests and ach
ievements passed during their re
cent stay at King’s Lake Camp.
He paid special tribute to Harry
Wimmer, local scoutmaster, for
His work in this area.
In reporting on Scouting activ
ities, Purcell pointed out that a
Boy Scout fund drive will be
held in the near future and ask
ed the assistance of the local Ki
wanis in conducting the drive lo
cally. He distributed folders on
'How Much is a Boy Worth?”
which explains the functioning of
the Alaska Scout program.
Costs of supporting a boy in
