the way for natural economic de
velopment.
The Sports Fishing License Bill
provides a dollar a year fee for resi
dents and a three-dollars-a-year
rate for non-residents. The bill was
amended to exempt children under
16. Natives are also exempted.
The measuie passed despite a
olea by Sen. Anita Garnick that
fishing is the only pleasure now
untaxed.
"Let’s leave it that way," she said.
The anti-fireworks bill produced
a bit of good Fourth of July oratory
before it tvas voted down.
Sen. Ed Anderson of Nome in-'
sisted fireworks are part of the
great tradition of the National Holi
day; a factor in “inspiring young
Americans to be good citizens.”
"Give the young ones a chance
to play and show they are glad they
are here and not in Europe,” he
declared.
The rest of the -argument re
volved around whether cities could
control the problem and whether
fireworks were too dangerous to
limb and property for the amount of
fun involved.
The Third Division senators led
the anti-fireworks arguments. They
said the problem is beyond Anch
orage Control because fireworks
stands spring up outside the city
limits — which still is inside the
city — and between civilians and
soldiers there’s bedlam and a ma
jor fire menace.

LES POE REPLACES
SMALL IN RUMPUS
ROOM, COUNTRY CLUB
The appearance of Joe Small,
pianist-vocalist, in the Rumpus
Room of the Country Club has
been cancelled. Opening in his plaAe
Saturday night is Les Poe, pianist
entertainer, a jack of all trades
and a master of all. too.
This unusual man has for the
pa. t years been the most-talked
about entertainer in the Seattle Bay
region, playing seven years in Cof
fee Dan’s. His talent and ability
are apparently limitless.
Les Poe plays the piano but does
not feature it. His strong point is
his virtually endless repertoire of
special risque numbers and novelty
songs.
"Les Poe is one or those hard to
find singles that actually draws
capacity houses. There is no question
in my mind that next season I
want Les Poe back again.” it is said.
