Hi me year m;
the AI..-ka branch of the Forest
E : \ i ,, and has been here contin
uously since then.
E. Frank Heintzleman, Alaska
Forester, said today, “His death is
a great sorrow to us all. Chuck’s
entire life was dedicated to two
thin-is—h;s official work and hi;
home. He was a prodigious worker,
both in the field and in the office,
and the magnificent flowers from
he garden he and his wife tended
.o lovingly are evidence of his de
votion to his home.
"Without question,” continued Mr.
Heintzleman, Mr. Forward was the
most versatile worker the Alaska
branch ever had. In his principal
fields—timber management, water
power, engineering and road con
struction—he could handle every
act: icy from the lowliest common
labor job to the most complex tech
nical problem. In addition, he was
familiar with the workings of ma
rine diesel • and radio telephones,
was an excellent land surveyor,
could prepare plans and specifica

“Chuck was held in great respect
by the other Forest Service men
and by the many members of the
public who dealt with him officially.
Ht and is lamily have always been
highly esteemed in Juneau, their
longtime home town.
“Mr. Forward's interest in his
home is well exemplified by the
tommodiou:. beautiful residence,
built in large part by his own
hands.”

CHUMS IN QUANTITY;
BIG DAY SATURDAY
Although catch and trap reports
I are not yet complete from all dis
tricts in Southeast Alaska, indica
tions are that Saturday gave fish
ermen plenty of activity.
According to Clarence Rhode.
Fish and Wildlife Service Alaska
director, some operators reported
that Saturday was their biggest day
| of the 1950 season which opened
August 15. Seiners in Seymour
: Canal have had exceptionally good
j catches.
Rhode said there still is no show
| ing of pink salmon, at least in the
northern area, but that chums con
tinue to show in great quantities,
making up about 98 .percent of the
run.
“They are running so preponder
antly,” Rhode said, “that, in some
areas, our taggers have had to give
up their work—they were throwing
away too many dog salmon to get
at the pinks.”
Due to unusual circumstances of
the 1950 season, commercial fisher
men have been given an extra three
days for fishing—Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of this week.
All areas are closed until 6 a m.
Thursday.
