1S Changes Made In
Sport Fish Regulations
Eighteen changes in the sport
t'isl'i regulations for 1963 were
adopted by the Alaska Board of
K h and Game at their recent fall
meeting in Cordova. Alex McRea,
Director, Sport Fish Division of
'' < Fis and Game Dept, has an
nounced.
Only four of these regulations
■'.'ill affect those hardy anglers
who pursue their sport during the
winter.
The use of fixed hooks or weight
'd lure is prohibited in fresh water,
except for those of standard manu
facture. Steelhead anglers in south
astern and ice fishermen through
out the state should keep this in
mind wh.cn going after that big
one.
A statewide adoption was made
by the board on smelt which may
now he taken by means other than
T )k and line and dip net in fresh
waters of the state except the
Turnagain Arm drainages.
The 1963 Sport Fish Seasons and
Bag Limit pamphlet incorporating
all the new changes in the regula
tions will be available March 1 at
the Fish and Game Office in Ju
neau and field offices. The 1962
pamphlet will still apply for win
cr anglers except for the changes
listed above which will become ef
fective Feb. 1, 1963.

March of Dimes Helps Save Boy
__ m
Here's Johnny at age one after first operation . . . and today, leading a normal life at age four.
At his fourth birthday
party, Johnny Wilson’s big
blue eyes sparkled as his
mother carried in the most
magnificent cake he had
ever seen.
It was shaped like a huge
boat plowing its way through
mountainous waves of whipped
cream and icing. Johnny’s win
some smile beamed at friends
and he gave out kisses all
around.
It was a happy affair. Yet at
one time, Johnny’s parents had
little hope he would live to
celebrate even his first birth
day For he was born with the
often fatal birth defect of wa
ter on the brain, or hydro
cephalus.
Surgical treatment saved
Johnny’s life when he was
three months old. At that time,
doctors performed what is
known as a shunt operation.
They inserted in Johnny’s head
a plastic tube which allowed
excess fluid from the brain to
be harmlessly absorbed by the
youngster’s body.
Without the operation, fluid
within the brain is prevented
from taking its normal course,
and causes the head to swell
enormously. This is what had
happened to Johnny. (If shunt
surgery is not performed in
time, mental retardation and
blindness may ensue, even
death, in certain cases.)
Since 1958, doctors have per
formed two other shunt opera
tions and have treated Johnny
for gastroenteritis and septice
mia.
Today, Johnny leads a rela
tively healthy, happy and care
free life. Like any other little
boy who lives on a farm, he
loves to hug iambs, chase cows
and tease chicks on the family’s
100 acres near Columbus, Ohio.
He is a good example of
thousands of afflicted children
being helped to live nearly
normal lives through a unique
medical care program financed
by The National Foundation
March of Dimes.
Babies with birth defects are
born every other minute in the
United States, 250,000 of them
each year, almost 700 each day.
Johnny goes regularly to a
special Birth Defects Clinical
Study Center at Children’s
H«vpital, Columbus, supported
by March of Dimes funds.
It is one of more than 30
similar centers across tne na
tion set up for the study and
treatment of birth defects.
At the center, trained spe
cialists work together to help
children with many kinds of
birth defects. They include a
neurosurgeon, orthopedic sur
geon, internist, psychiatrist,
physical therapist and medical
social worker. They have put
their skilled hands and minds
to work on Johnny’s behalf.
Every four months, Johnny's
mother drives him to the center
for his check-up. A doctor al
ways measures his head to
make sure there is no change
in size. Since 1959, his head
size has remained relatively
constant.
Johnny is growing up to be an
impish, energetic and friendly
little boy who likes to do every
thing and go everywhere. Espe
cially, he likes to wheedle rides
on a pony at the next farm.
He’ll settle, though, for a tour
on the tractor with his mother
or father, Julia and John Wil
son.
Like Johnny, other afflicted
children who receive prope:
treatment may live to enjoy
shooting cap pistols, watching
television, singing songs or
playing a toy banjo—with the
best of four-year-olds.
Government Hill
Urban Renewal
For Anehorage
ANCHORAGE — The Govern
ment Hill Urban Renewal project
will be the first urban renewal
project to be completed in Alaska
and the third project to be com
pleted in the 11 western states.
This project contained 73 struc
tures in 1958, of which 59 were
sub-standard. All of these sub
standard structures have been re
moved. They have been replaced
by modern, attractive single-family
dwellings and duplexes.
Fourteen s t a n d a r d dwellings
were retained in the project area
and these have been or are in the
process of being improved, to meet.
! ie requirements of the urban re
newal plan.
The area will have three
hurches, two of which are com
pleted and another to be built
in the near future.
The total public and private in
vestment is estimated as follows:
Federal credits, $573,399; municipal
allocation, $247,732, of which
$139,725 is in the form of credits
from improvements or public proj
ects which benefit the area; and
private investments, $2,300,000.
The project site in 1962 is a
startling contrast to the quonset
huts, unimproved , and poorly ar
ranged streets that existed there
in 1958. The Government Hill
| project is a dramatic example of
| what can Ire accomplished in a
I residential area through urban re
! newal.
| As provided by Congress, the
j Federal Urban Renewal Adminis
tration is contributing two-thirds
of the net cost of buying and
clearing land. The remaining one
third is covered by the city bu
the Urban Renewal Administra
I tion credits the city for tiie cos
I of new streets, utilities and othe;
! improvements to the site. The city.
| will nay considerably less thar
one-half of its quota in cash,
j The assessed valuation of the
| project site in 1958 was $268,506
and in 1962 the assessed valuation
had increased to $2,474,875 due to
the redevelopment of the area by
urban renewal.
j The increased assessed values of
the property in Government Hill
project will provide additional in
I come to the city in the form of
j taxes, in the amount of $46,333
! per year, using the 1962 assessed
valuations. This increased reve
nue from taxes will repay the cash
outlay made by the city in less
than four years. The cost of city
services, such as police and fire
protection in the area, has been
reduced providing further savings
to the city.
Except for man, and possibly
the whale, elephants have the
longest life of any other mammal.
