Plainfield, Ind., Messenger: “If
reports of the government’s indebt
edness make you sicknn the pit of
your stomach, just stop and think
what causes much of it. We’re not
beyond the readh of the doctor.
We’ve been asking for too much
from the government—a habit ac
quired by 20 years of a ‘do every
thing’ regime i» Washington. Just
ask'fSr'leSs—it.’fe that easy.”
San Marino, Calif., Tribune:
“Democracy, freedom, equality of
opportunity, justice, enlighten
ment, are precious gifts that must
be wanted so badly that life itself
is not too high 1 .price to pay for
their defense. We must be ever
alert to the threat posed by those
among us who would barter these
gifts away for the security they
think will be found under a des
potism they hope will be benevo
lent.^

conservation. Thi* program is be
ing instituted this year for the first
time. Officials are cognisant of the
fact that bugs must be taken out
of a new regulation, and they will
seek to work as little hardship on
the fishermen as possible, they
state.
Excerpts from the amended Fish
eries Act are as follows: “Each
year, 30 days prior to the opening
of any fishing season in any regu
latory area as defined herein, the
units of gear of all boats intended
to be used for fishing in such area
shall be registered for the regula
tory area of proposed operation
and for no other.No person
shall be permitted to register any
gear or boat so as to permit his
ashing for salmon, except by troll
ing, in more than one regulatory
area during the calendar year.
Such registration shall include the
furnishing of information on the
size, type, crew, gear, and identity
of boats, the name qnd address ol
any and all fishermen who will
fish with such gear or boat, and
the fishery (salmon, crab, etc.) in
which such gear, boat or fisherman
intends to operate .... Registra
tion plates shall be displayed on
the port side of boats .... No
gear or boats which has not been
registered as required shall be per
mitted to engage in any fishery.'’
“Salmon trolling and boats and
all other gear and boats used in
fishing for species other than sal
mon may change their operations
from one regulatory area to an
other and from such other fishery
to salmon fishing, but only after
such proposed change has been re
ported to a local representative of
the FWS in advance of such
change.Registration of
boats and gear shall not be requir
ed of any boat engaging solely in
the halibut fishery."

ALONQ T8E WATERFRONT
Continued from Page 1)
Jack Johnson, dock manager, is _
looking to the usual busy summer
when the dock will be loaded with
clam and salmon cases.
Tbe boys at Alvine and Gibsons
took time out last Tuesday to help
Clyde Hatfield celebrate fifteen
years in Kodiak. The boat builders
around there are all cake eaters
judging by the man-sized pieces
that were devoured. The coffee
break elicited many witty re
marks, mostly directed at Clyde,
who always had an answer.
Del Valley launched his boat the
Lois V and will soon be hauling
lumber for the Mr. Fix-its about
town. Stan’s wife is still in Cali
forna, but if he can celebrate a
few more anniversaries like Clydes
she won't have to worry about him
wasting away. Cake must have
some nourishment.
A well-known man in these parts.
Gene Harding, will take command
of the M|V Cordova Salvor, now
owned by the J.A. Jones Construc
tion Company. He will shuttle be
tween Sitkinak and Kodiak.
ALOHA NIGHT LUAUA
DRAWS HUGE CROWD
Sarongs and mumuus were much
in evidence at the Aloha Night
Luaua held in the Elks Hall Sat
urday, April 29 by the Emblem
Club. More than three hundred
members and guests heartily ap
plauded Judy Regalado and Eva
Johnson as they did the graceful
dances of the Islands.
Mrs. Edith Waialeale, who flew
from Koloa, Kauai, T. H. especial
ly for the gala affair, drew thun
derous applause, and was called
back for more than one encore fol
lowing her rendition of the “Tutu"
(Grandmother’s Dance).
Shortly after midnight the
throng was served the unusual (to
most of us) Hawaiian food pre
pared under the supervision of
Mrs. Waialeale and her daughter,
Helen McDonald.
In addition to the excellent floor
show and dancing to the music of
Helen McDonald and her band,
there were several impromptu
acts that not only drew applause,
but laughter.
