Big, isn't she?
Twenty-seven thousand, one hundred tons of fight
ing steel! But this aircraft carrier is only a light
weight compared to some of the towering dread
naughts that make the U. S. Navy the mightiest
in the world. Your navy is in there slugging every
minute, doing its job to defend you and all of the
things you hold dear.
But remember, defense is your job, too! And one
of the best ways to do your job is to buy U. S. De
fense* Bonds. You’ll be helping your country and
at the same time you’ll be making the soundest in
vestment on earth today. For U. S. Defense Bonds
are as safe as America!
The U. S. Defense Bonds you buy give
you personal financial independence
Remember that when you’re buying Defense
Honda you’re building a personal reserve of cash
savings. Money that will some day buy you a
house, or educate your children, or support you
when you retire. Remember, too, that if you
don’t save regularly, you don’t save at all.
So go to your company’s pay office—now—
and sign up for regular Defense bftnd purchases
through the Payroll Savings Plan. In thus plan,
you may save as little as $1.25—or as much as
you want - each week. If you can save just $7.50
weekly, in ten years you’ll have bonds worth
$4,320.02 ■ ash! You’ll be helping protect America
•—and helping your dreams come true.
*U. S. SAVINGS BONDS ARE DEFENSE BONDS
BUY THEM REGULARLY!

DRAMATIC CUT IN
FfSK TIME MADE
0H COPPER RiVER
Z'tanouncement is made today
Clarence Rhode, Regional Director
of the Fish and Wildlife Service,
that an additional twenty-four
hours* of closed fishing time will
be invoked each week for the re
mainder of the king and red salmon
gillnet seasons on the Copper and
Bering Rivers. The total weekly
closure of 72 hours in effect when
the season opened on May 1. is now
increased to 9G hours, fishing being
permitted only from 6 a.m. Monday
to 6 p.m. Tuesday and 6 p.m.
Thursday to G am. Saturday from
now until June 20.
This relatively drastic restriction
is made necessary by the phen
omenal increase in amount of fish
ing gear being employed on the
Copper River during the current
season. Five hundred and thirty
rne fishermen have already regis
tered 79.650 fathoms of red salmon
gillnet and 17.600 fathoms of king
salmon gear and there is more to
come. The ninety miles of red gill
nets represent an increase of 17
per cent over last year's expanded
effort and the twenty miles of king
nets are a 138 per cent jump. The
Copper is not a particularly large
salmon stream, Rhode pointed out,
and its runs have already been
showing signs of depletion, even un
der the less severe fishing inten
sity of earlier years.
There is grave danger of perm
anent damage to and perhaps vir
tual destruction of the Copper Riv
er salmon, Rhode said and added
that only by sufficient periods of
complete fishing closure can ade
quate spawning escapements be
achieved.

FWS TO ASSURE
FSCAPEMENT5
IN 1951 SEASON
Paramount objective of the Pish
and Wildlife Service during the
critical Alaska salmon season ahead
'will be to achieve adequate escape
ments to the spawning grounds. Di
rector Albert M. Day announced
from Washington, and released by
the Deal FWS office.
He s^id the alarming trend of
depletion, so evident in many areas
during recent years, must be hai
led, and if possible, reversed. He
added that the great increase in
fishermen and gear, especially gill
net ters, over last year’s inflated
j\olume is clearly evidenced by the
; present over-concentration of gear
cn Copper River. Over fishing, he
said, lias already reduced the re
j source sustaining many of Alaska’s
fishing communities and further
: injury to salmon runs poses a ser
1 Sous threat to the economy of the
entire Territory.
“Anticipating sharp intensifica
tion in the fisheries of Bristol Bay
and Cook Inlet during 1951,’’ Day
continued, “the Service now regu
| lates fishing to only half time
during the season. It now appears
| that even this protection may not
be sufficient to get adequate es
capements by all the gear that is
expected to be in operation."
Further closed time on Copper
River will be imposed. Day said, if
the number of nets becomes too
great. Further restrictions on forms
of gear may also be necessary. He
pointed out that drift gillnets have
upset the stable balance which once
prevailed on Cook Inlet and said
that shorter nets probably will be
decreed in proportion to the con
I tinued influx of new gear that en
ters various areas.
Finally’he said, spawning grounds
| must be seeded sufficiently to
i maintain Alaska's prime industry
