A RAPID END TO THE KENAI
PENINSULA moose herd is pre
dicted by hunters and sports
men if Ed Chatelain's proposal
is accepted by the Fish & Wild
life Service at Juneau next
month.
Chatelain proposes an open
season on moose cows and calves
as well as bulls. His argument is
that feed for moose on the pe
ninsula is becoming scarce and
that overcrowding will kill off
the big game animals.
Bitter opposition to the pro
posal is growing in Seward and
among resident peninsula hunt
ers. An open season on cows
would leave calves unable to
care for themselves over the
winter and cause a greater loss
than lack of feed, it is claimed.
Several petitions in protest of

the move are in circulation on
the peninsula and the Seward
Chamber of Commerce has reg
istered a protest. With the in
crease in the number of hunters
every year on the peninsula, it
is feared that open season on
cows and calves would soon
decimate the moose population
to the extent that it would be
come practically nonexistent.
The Kenai moose is the largest
big game animal in Alaska. This
knowledge and publicity con
cerning its numbers and easy
access to hunting grounds by
airplane and automobile have
brought hunters from the Out
side and from other Alaskan
areas to the peninsula during
the hunting season.
Reports of the local Fish &
Wildlife Service game wardens
show that 372 legal kills were
made on the peninsula last sea
son. Of those killed by non resi
dent peninsula hunters there is
no local record. Checking sta
tions set up on the highway at
Portage last September recorded
as many as 1100 cars in a single
night going northward after the
hunt. These would account for
an estimated 100 mocse not re
corded in this district.
In addition to those killed in
hunting season, the number of
illegal kills of moose runs to the
astounding figure of 100 to 150
each year. This does not include
moose killed on the railroad or
by cars on the highway. Heavy
trucking is reported to be tak
ing a heavy toll this winter. In
the past two weeks. C. M. Car
son reports seven moose killed
between Seward and Anchorage,
the meat left to waste on the
side of the road. This waste is
bound to reduce the Kenai moose
herd without deliberately kill
ing them off, the hunters say.
Ed Chaterain will be in Sew
ard next Thursday, February 4.
to discuss the proposition in a
public meeting in the city coun
cil room on the second floor of
the city hall. The meeting is set
for 8:00 p.m. Every hunter, sup
plier, farmer and resident who
is interested in saving the Kenai
moose should be present and pre
pared to state an opinion.

PORTRAIT OF A HOME
These pictures that I here have
hung,
These statues on this little shelf,
These records of a song low
sung,
Are but an echo of myself.
The very rugs upon the floor,
That muted paper on the wall.
These dishes in the cupboard
door,
Are mine because I chose them
all.
I chose them all, and placed
them so
Because some inner, unthought
me
Knew just the way that they
should go
And knew just what they each
should be.
And that is why, beyond a doubt,
As time goes by, I feel unrest
And shift each thing, and change
about
To find the place that seems the
best. .
No soul that grows can be un
changed
No heart in living stays its
stride. .
So it will never be arranged:
This home where Life and I
abide.

Jesse Lee News
By Tommy Dillard
With the coming of the most
welcome sunshine much time is
being spent out-of-doors these
days. Skating, sledding and Just
plain snowballing are prominent
daily activities. The roads
around Jesse Lee furnish a “pri
vate" skating “rink" since the
suddenly changing temperatures
froze them over so slickly. In
fact, much involuntary “skating”
is done, as both children and
housemothers will testify!
The A boys and girls attended
the showing of the Seward, Ne
braska, films at the Methodist
Church Tuesday night. The long,
grueling bus trip which the team
made only lasted an hour on the
screen, and thus served as bait
for the kids in attempting a sim
ilar trip Outside. Mr. Lee sug
gested that such a venture was
not impossible, but highly im
probable; however, if they went
ed to save their nickels for the
next ten years, perhaps some
thing could be arranged at that
time! Spirits were slightly de
flated!
Several members of the staff
attended the carry-in dinner of
the Young Adults at the Metho
dist Church Monday night. Mr.
Lee retired the co-chairman’s
gavel he has been wielding for
two years during the business
meeting which followed.
Pride in our Home basketball
team ran high Friday night
when they defeated the Fresh
man team 16-17, and stayed in
the race for the “Little League"
title. This was done despite the
absence of one of our regular
starting-line up players.
