We are of the considered opinion that in fifteen
to 20 years the majority of power plants will consist of
nuclear energy, as technical advances will make nuclear
plants the most efficient and most economical. However
we have to keep a few light bulbs burning until such
time as Rampart Dam is built or something comes along
that would be more competitive than present fossil fuels.
If REA is not interested in financing a mine-mouth
plant, immediate steps should be taken to finance the
plant by private capital. With an assured contract with the
City of Anchorage the mine mouth plant can become a
reality. The City of Palmer might look into the possibility
of selling revenue bonds to build the plant, then lease it
to either AAEA or the City of Anchorage. Smaller cities
have floated much larger bond issues and have done if
successfully. It would be betting on a sure thing.
To not build something that would be using our
natural resources, aid unemployment put more money
into the federal and state tax coffers, and add immeasur
ably to the general welfare of Alaska, and in turn still
HAVE THE CHEAPEST POWER GENERATION in the
State, is hard to visualize.
GAME DEPARTMENT SETS OPEN
SEASONS FOR MIGRATORY DIRDS
Open season for ducks,
geese, cranes, and jacksnipe
have been established for 1963.
the Alaska Department of Fish
and Game announced this
week. Opening day is Septem
ber 1 for all species, except on
the Aleutian and Pribilof Is
lands (Game Management Unit
10) where the season opens <
October 15 on waterfowl.
James W. Brooks, director of
the department’s division of
game, said that the later open- ,
ing in Game Management Unit i
10. which allows the season
there to run through January' 1
15 in contrast to the December
14 closure for the rest of Alas
ka. comes as a result of three
years of effort by the Depart
ment to obtain such a split sea
son without having to settle for
a shorter season for the State
as a whole. Migratory bird
seasons are selected by the
State from within a frame- 1
work established by the U. S.
Department of the Interior.
Prior to this year, the State
was given a choice of either a
94 day split season or a 105
day season which would be the
same throughout Alaska. In

space is limited.
New restroom facilities are
also under construction.
A parade marshall is needed
for the opening day Fair par
ade, according to Sutton. Any
one interested in the job as
asked to call the Fair office or
to see the manager.
He also asked that those
who are building floats for the
parade or who contemplate
having a float in the parade
inform the Fair office.
Eclipse -
(Continued from page 1)
serves to project and focus the
image of the eclipse on the
second cardboard. The size of
the image can be changed by
altering the distance between
cardboards. Do not look at the
sun through the pinhole. It was
also suggested that an eclipse
watcher stand with his back
to the sun, and by holding bin
oculars off to his side, project
the phenomenon onto a sheet
of paper held in front of him.
Photographers were warned to
have their cameras properly
prepared before risking eye
damage while taking pictures
of the eclipse.
The entire North America
continent is expected to be
covered by an eclipse of the
sun on July 20, with complete !
darknes in parts of Alaska.

the town of Talkeetna falls 1
within the complete darkness ;
belt. <
order to obtain a late season
for the Aleutians, therefore, it
would have been necessary to
cut 11 days from the season
elsewhere. Waterfowl, particu
larly the sea ducks which com
prise the bulk of the Aleutian
harvest, do not become avail
able in that area until Decem
ber and January.
Jacksnipe and Sandhill cram
seasons open September 1
throughout the State, with the
crane season closing Septem
ber 30 and the jacksnipe sea
son closing October 15.
Daily bag and possession
limits remain unchanged from
last year. Regulations detail
ing I'u.e limits, together with
sunset and sunrise tables for
various towns in Alaska, should
be available within about three
weeks from Department of
Fish and Game offices and li
cense officers. Shooting hours
will be from one-half hour be
fore sunrise to sunset, as in
the past.
