The if i
By Mildred Kirkpatrick
One of the reasons I love this
town is because if the people re
ally become interested in any
project they really go to town
on it in a bit? way. It is not al
ways easy to work up interest in
some individual’s idea, but when
it does catch on, it certainly
whizzes.
If you don't believe it. just
step into the old USO and catch
your breath. I heard about the
clean-up in progress there, and
went in this afternoon. At least j
a dozen men about town were i
busy as a dot? with fleas, but j
everv one of them was working 1
and ACCOMPLISHING a job. i
They are donating all their time. \
Painting, scrubbing floors, mov-1
ing scaffolds, all happy and en-j
joying themselves. It was a very i
real treat, and that old building]
will be a credit to the city.
It just goes to show what a!
concerted effort can do to make |
a project roll. Go to it. fellows,
we are proud of you!

will teach his Sunday School

Letters to the Editor: i
Editor:
We will now lay the bare facts
of Fish Trap abuses before you. j
Number 1. They are a privi-]
lege for a very few people and
corporations to enjoy. The argu
ment that they are curtailed for
conservation measures is mis
leading and untrue, because
there is no law preventing a
man or a corporation from build
ing 100 or 5,000 seine boats,
manning them with crews and
fishing in Alaskan waters. There-'
by over-fishing the industry;
with disastrous results, but noj
one may put in a fish trap.
This is un-American and'
against the Bill of Rights, which
is intended to mean equal rights
to all.
The argument that all the trap
sites are taken is completely
without foundation, as I know
in the southern district alone j
there are vast stretches of coast I
line without a trap for distances)
of 30 miles or more. Then you I
will come to a stretch of coast j
where they are barely one mile
apart. Going by at night it looks |
like a street, the lights are so
regular. j
There Is a reason for this |
which I will attempt to explain. |
The operators of Fish Traps who (
maintain strong lobbies both in
Washington, D C., and in Ju-i
neau, at the time of the great
trap puree in 1927. were able to
dictate what traps and where to
a large extent would be elimin
ated.
Large operators like to tell
you of the traps they lost in the
purge of 1927. What they don’t
tell you is, they didn’t pay fori
putting in. but the operators!
were afraid that if they didn't
put them in somebody else'
would, and then with a chance
in tidal current they would fish. ;
But by losing their power and :
influence, and who knows may
be a little money, they were I
able to have the Fish Commis-1
sion close the area, thereby |
saving money and insuring that'
no one else could put a trap \
there. j
There will be more of this;
phase on traps in the next.
installment.
Yours truly,
Edmund Bob Lane I
There is one thing which will
make our country sure of its fu
