WILD BIRDS GATHER
BY MILLIONS TO
FATTEN AT COLD BAY
Jesse F. Thompson of Washington,
D.C., Game Management chief of
the Fish and Wildlife Service, re
cently came to Alaska to see wildlife
for himself.
He really “got an eyeful,” accord
ing to Clarence J. Rhode, Alaska
FWS director, who returned yester
day from a trip to the westward
with Thompson.
The Easterner’s eyes really bulged
at the sight of an estimated 1 Vi
million cacklers and black brant
fdivided roughly half-and-half) in
the largest single concentration of
migratory birds on the North Ameri
can continent.
This was at Cold Bay on the
Alaska ‘Peninsula. More were com
ing in strong and if the usual pat
tern is followed, another half
million cacklers will be there soon
These are the smallest variety of
Canadian goose. The count shows
more at Cold Bay than were esti
mated in the entire West Coast in- 1
ventory.
Now on the flats around bays
and lakes, the super-flock soon will
move to the tundra, fattening up on
eel grass, seeds, swamp-berries and
other typical tundra vegetation. The
huge clouds of ducks and geese are
skinny when they arrive, but will be
fat as butterballs when they leave
the first week in November. Rhode
commented that the wind never
blows at less than 50 miles an hour.
With the cooperation of Robert
Jones, refuge manager there, a trap
will be shipped by air shortly, to
take adult birds for banding.
Where they go still is one of Na
ture’s mysteries. Last year, FWS
observers learned the direction of
their start by radar, but believe
they move onto another “airway”
later.
In the soupy weather of last No
vember, radar showed that the flight
took a course of 117 degrees from
Cold Bay, which would put them, if
continued, on the west coast of
Vancouver Island.
From Anchorage, Thompson re
turned to Washington. Rhode took
part in the buffalo round-up at Big
Delta, then attended several hear
ings on 1951 commercial fishing reg
ulations before returning yester
day from his three-week trip.

Clean-out work to unblock the
Richardson Highway at Mile 16
above Valdez was started yesterday
by Alaska Road Commission forces,
according to word received today

TYPICAL STORY
OF WARTIME AT
CAPITOL THEATRE
_ I
A midnight pick-up leading to 72
hours of ecstasy, then three years
of waiting and hoping, starts the
gripping and provocative story of
"They Met at Midnight,” at the
Capitol Theatre tonight.
It Is the story of a GI bride in
reverse — an American Red Cross
worker who marries a British officer
and who faces a dramatic choice
when his supposedly dead wife re
turns to her husband.
Co-starring England’s top-ranking
team of Anna Neagle and Michael
Wilding. “They Met at Midnight” is
no pipe dream. The tender yet tragic
romance in which American-born
Frances Mercer plays Wife No. 2,
is based on an actual conversation
overheard during a wartime black
out. Records in England prove that
such "incidents" have happened and
are still happening in both coun
tries.
Highlighted with the humor which
American audiences have come to
expect in British films, “They Met
at Midnight” is not a war story but
a simple tale of the kind of people
j who live next door. English movie
goers voted it the best picture of
the year and awarded Miss Naegle
the Picture-goer Award, the equiva
lent of Hollywood's “Oscar.”

JUNEAUITES ENJOY
TRIP THROUGH ALASKA
The trip over Alaska's highways
through the interior and westward
areas is highly recommended to
anyone who can possibly make it, by
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Burdick and
Miss Bess O’Neil who returned yes
terday via Haines after an extended
trip through Alaska by automobile.
“One can find no finer trip any
where than a tour through Alaska,”
declared Mr. Burdick this morning.
Mrs. Burdick and Miss O'Neil en
joyed the past six weeks touring
over the highways visiting various
points of interest as their fancy
dictated. They stopped at Valdez,
Anchorage, and Fairbanks, Circle
Hot Springs and other hot springs
resorts in the interior.
On the return trip they were
joined in Anchorage by Mr. Burdick
who had gone to the westward on
business and took leave for a short
vacation. From Anchorage the Bur
dicks and Miss O'Neil motored
through the Kenai Peninsula and
visited Homer. Homebound they
returned over the Glenn Highway.
The party took many photo
graphs, Burdick said, and on the
return trip stopped at various water
ways in Yukon Territory to fish
for the famous grayling trout,
