southern hemisphere.

Slop Smiling . . .
BEDFORD, Pa. (A*> — Every time
you smile you’re wearing out your
face, according to a New York
doctor.
“It takes 13 muscles to produce
a cheesecake smile,” Dr. John J.
Conley said Friday. “Your skin
wears out like shoes.”
He was addressing some 300
members of the Pennsylvania
Academy of Ophthalmology and
Otolaryngology.
Wasn’t it Bernard Shaw who
warned, “Do not do unto others
as you would have them do unto
vou—their tastes may be differ
ent?”

Commercial Value Seen
For Seal Lion Pup Skins
The Pacific Seal Co. Ltd., P.O.
Box 7, New Westminster, B.C.,
recently advised the Dept, of Fish
and Game that the skins of new
born sea lion pups appear to have
a market value of $6.00 or perhaps
more. This communication result
ed from the experimental process
ing of a sea lion pup skin which
was furnished by the Dept, of Fish
and Game for processing. The skin
was processed in Europe by
methods normally employed for
hair seal skins.
The present population of sea
lions in Alaska numbers between
150,000 and 200,000 animals ac
cording to Walter Kirkness, Com
missioner of the Dept, of Fish and
Game. This recent evidence of
commercial value suggests that
Alaska’s sea lion resource may be
developed into a new, though
limited, industry.
Commissioner Kirkness pointed
out that sea lions give birth 1o
their pups during the month of
June and that the skins of pups
would have to be harvested dur
ing that time. Persons desiring
information on methods of hand
ling and shipping skins may con
tact directly the Pacific Sea. Co.,
P.O. Box 7, New Westminster,
B.C., for information.
May Have Hit a Rock
TOKYO — Preliminary in
vestigations show the prize Chinese
freighter which sank May 1 prob
ably hit a rock, Red China says.
Rescued crewmen had charged the
ship was torpedoed.
The ship sank in the East China
Sea while enroute to Japan.
The announcement Friday from
the official New China news agency
was the first report made public
by the Chinese Ministry of Com
munications. It said:
“The Ministry of Communica
tions considers it very likely that
the Yueh Chin was sunk after
hitting a rock, but the possibility
cannot be finally ruled out that it
suffered an underwater attack.”

jSun's Eclipse Is Big
Attraction for Tourists
Alaskans, who see 1963 as an
especially big year for Alaska
travel because of the spanking-new
ferry vessels of the “Marine High
way’’ system, now see a boost to
the season for another reason. This
attraction — the sun’s July 20th
eclipse — if of short duration, but
several hundred additional visitors
are expected because of it.
With a totality lasting 92V£
seconds, the eclipse will be of
longer duration at the town of
Talkectna, Alaska, than at any
other place in the United States.
Located about 75 air miles from
Anchorage, Talkeetna is almost
exactly on the central line of the
eclipes. There, the eclipse will
occur at 10:02 a.m., AST.
Of the several inns and hotels
in Talkettna, at least one is al
ready fully booked — including
a party from Norway. But in
quiries about the eclipse have come
in such numbers that the Alaska
Railroad plans a special train for
Anchorage-based visitors to Tal
keetna on July 20. It will, of
course, deliver passengers to Tal
keetna well in advance of the
solar “blackout.”

to Alaska my be obtained by

vision, Box 2391, Juneau.
