The Ancnor Point Snow Fes
tival, complete with dog races
and weight pulling contests,
snow-shoe races, skating con
tests, Snow Queen beauty pag
eant and Coronation Ball guar
antees Alaskan and visitor
alike, a lively and memorable
week-end.
Main point of interest at the
festival is probably the dog
races, which bring competing
mushers from various Alaskan
cities and native villages. Ad
ditional highlights include
weight pulling contests on ice
and ski joring. The latter event,
being pulled on skis by racing i
dog or horse teams, is open to
any visitor who brings his skis i

Other Alaskan celebrations

cense dealers send completed
application forms to t h e De
partment’s Juneau Office
shortly after the first of the
year.
The completed cards will be
used to help determine the 1961
harvest of both big game and
small game in Alaska. Prev
ious annual estimates h a v e
been based on personal inter
views, checking station reports
and game biologists’ knowledge
of the areas they work in. Due
to recent increases in license
sales and a need for more ac
curate and detailed knowledge
of the harvest, the Division of
Game has decided to use a
postal survey commencing this
year.
Division of Game Director
James W. Brooks, appealed to
all persons receiving the ques
tionnaires to fill out and re
turn them immediately. The in
formation which will be ex
tracted from the returned
forms is vital to good game
management in the future, he
said, and the accuracy of the
data directly proportional to
the per cent of returns obtain

CHANGES MADE IN SALMON NET
FISHING REGULATIONS IN COMING YEAR
The Alaska Board of Fish
and Game during the Decem
ber meeting at Anchorage
changed the provisions under
which late registration or trans
fer to another registration area
may be granted, Walter Kirk
ness, Commissioner of the Al
aska Department of Fish and
Game has announced.
The regulation now reads:
“Late registration or transfer
of registered nets or vessels to
another registration area may
be permitted by the Commis
sioner only in the case of ser
ious injury, sickness or death.”
Previously, the Commissioner
could grant late licensing or
transfer to another registra
tion area upon a determination
that conservation of the salmon
runs would not be adversely af
fected.
Formerly, a salmon net fish
ing gear license could be for
feited by a person not wishing
to use it and a license issued
in its place to another fisher
man after April 15. This prac
tice is no longer permitted.
Kirkness pointed out that for
this reason, it is essential that
all salmon net fishermen who
intend to fish during 1962 ob- j
tain their vessel and gear licen- j
ses prior to April 15.
Skating School

Persons interested in learn
ing to roiier skate, or those
