Outdoes Writer ic
Cast a Few Flies
For Juneau's fish
Tod Powell, outdoor columnist!
for the San Francisco Chronicle
for the past 18 years, arrived in
Juneau yesterday to do some fish
ing in this area.
Capt. Steve Bancroft, Pan Am-,
erican pilot on the Pacific run j
who fished here two months ago,
persuaded Powell to join him on
an Alaska trip. Their luggage con
sists almost entirely of fishing,
gear. j
The pair will be joined Saturday
by Gus Reely, San Francisco tac- j
kle manufacturer, who has en
gaged Malcolm Greeny to do 16 j
mm color and black and white,
movies for television.
Today they went salmon fishing
with Rod Darnell, local sportsman
and ow'ner of the Triangle Clean
ers. Tomorrow they expect to leave
for Taku Lodge to try out some
new rods, reels and lures on the
trout there.
Later they will join Shell Sim
mons in fishing expeditions to
“little fished lakes.”
Bancroft expects to be here forj
two weeks. Powell said he inten
ded "to stay as long as I feel like
it!” J
Powell has fished over most of;
the United States, Canada and,
Mexico and once made a fishing j
trip to Ketchikan but this is his
first trip to Juneau. He was en
thusiastic about the flight up on
PAA, especially at the sight oi the
Juneau Tcecap. “It was the grand-1
est sight I’ve ever seen,” he de
clared.
As an outdoor columnist, Powell
receives hundreds of trout flies
from manufacturers to “try out.
He said that he felt certain that
he had more trout flies than there
are trout.
“It is going to be good,” he said,
“to go fishing up here where
a man doesn’t have to fish from
the third row back along the
streams, like we’ve been doing in
California where there are so
many people.”

School Schedules for 1951-52
terms Aetemmced by Superintendent
With high school starting Sept
4, sophomore thought; will be turn
ing to hazing of freshmen.
Sterling S. Sears, Juneau super
intendent of schools said this gen
erally is of great concern during the
firist week.
"We have decided,” he said, “to
set aside one day of school for this
event and conduct it under supervi
sion of the faculty.”
This is being done, he added, to
prevent accidents in which any
pupil might be hurt. He said that
at a meeting of this year’s sopho
more class last year it was voted,
with hut one exception, to confine
the hazing to school '.'.ours set
aside for the purpose.
Sears today urged all parents to
encourage their children to cooper
ate with this program,
i He said that it was also voted
| that no upper classmen would be
►
allowed to participate. Hazing, he
pointed out, is a strictly freshman
privilege and this year hopes to
keep it so.
In past years, when hazing has
been carried on after school through
Juneau streets, roughness has caus
I ed painful injury to some child
ren. He further pointed out that
I school authorities were not respon
sible for actions of children after
they have left school and are off
of the school grounds.
•
“But it is injury and accident we
are interested in preventing,” ho
said, "as long as we are interests j
: in- giving tmig 'uha snpa’VEiuh'w
; this traditional performance, I am
asking parents and children to co
operate with us.”
