Bands On Wild Fowl
To Be Returned to FWS
If Alaskan hunters will cooper
ate with the Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice in returning bands from any of
the 2,629 ducks and geese banded
this summer and shot down in
hunting seasons, the FWS expects
to be able to make important an
nouncements about the migratory
habits of the waterfowl.
Clarence J. Rhode, regional dir
ector of the FWS, said work done
on pintail ducks in the Innoko-Idit
arod nesting areas this summer
should provide enough information
to tell where the birds go following
the nesting season, if bands are re
turned.
“Too many of us in Alaska for
get that most ducks and geese
spend only four or five months
here, and the rest of the year in
Canada, the States and Mexico.”
Mr. Rhode said.

Who Wants Milk On
A Door-Step, Anyway?
Milkman, stay 'way from my
door.
That's the theme of Palmer
household heads, Everett Yohn
of the Valley Grocery discov
ered, last week. Mr. Yohn had
announced tentative plans for a
morning milk route in the
down-town area, if enough in
terest were shown by potential
subscribers.
The grocer worked out a ques
tionnaire, printed in a recent
edition of the Frontiersman,
which he asked interested folks
to fill out and return. Last
weekend, Mr. Yohn rolled up
his sleeves and prepared for a
lengthy count-bout with the
questionnaires.
At the end of considerably less
time than it takes to write it,
the would-be milkman found
that there were only 38 homes
in Palmer which had expressed
interest in door-step delivery.
Since Mr. Yohn's plan requires
at least 100 subscribers before
it's launched, the whole idea's
been filed away for future ref
erence—the more future the
better, is the way Mr. Yohn felt
about it at press time.
GO TO-YUMA
Mrs. Leonard Moffitt, accom
panied by her mother and her
children, left the Valley for the
states several days ago. They were
en route to Yuma, Arizona, where
they plan to make their home.
