TOASTMASTERS HIT!
HEW HIGH, FORMAL
DINNER LAST NIGHT
The outstanding talk of the
Toastmasters formal banquet last
evening at the Baranof Hotel was
given by Ellis Reynolds. His as
signment was a “provocative
thought" talk. He held his audience
through a “pied piper” fable in
which he brought out the dangers
of following the “piper” into a
sea of promised security as against
the "drummer" for free enter
prise. Critics and grammarians
found little fault with his speech.
It was the serious note of the en
tire affair.
The “honorable" President Henry
Green explained to wives and guests
of the toastmasters that the ob
jectives of the organization were
to teach effective chairmanship
and poise. The program demonstra
ted both.
Comdr. E. C. Hawley had each
member introduce his guests.
Wayne Richey, as topiemaster,
sounded the "cutting down” theme
in tune to Washington cutting
down the cherry tree.
Members called upon followed
through with Dr. John Clements
mentioning "cutting up;” Hunt
Gruening on cutting down on the
length of speeches; Jerry McKinley
on cutting the dollar; Ed Peyton
on cutting down light poles in
favor of putting them underground;
Irv Curtis on cutting down on
waistlines; Vic Power on cutting
down useless limbs of government;
and Bob Cowling on cutting down
I expenses.
j. A. McLean demonstrated the
use of the better voice in speaking.
Charlie Burdick gave a short dis
sertation on women’s hats. E. J.
O'Brien, the impromtu speaker,
achieved success by defining "ex
temporaneous" and demonstrating
it with fine delivery.
“Is There a Doctor in the House"
skit, a mock operation, was per
formed by Pete Warner, Ted Ob
erman, Kristan and Bud Elkins
with obvious previous coaching by
Clements.
In light of the assembled guests,
the critics were more geijtle than
usual, it was said. . Critics K. E.
Vuille, H. B. Foss, W. J. Manthey,
L. E. Sarella and Jack Burford,
assisting U. C. Nelson, touched
lightly upon the faults of their
fellow toastmasters and gave praise
where they felt it was due. A. L.
Ransome, as grammarian, was
equally kind, ending the affair on
j i high successful note.

DDF CARRYING ON
BLACKCOD TAGGING,
LEARN MIGRATIONS
The Alaska Department of Fish
eries welcomed an opportunity t(
send a biologist along with tilt
International Fisheries Commission
vessel which is spending a montl
or six weeks in tire Icy Straits area
C. L. Anderson, director, said to
day.
Biologist Walt Kirkness will tat
blackcod in connection with th<
IFC expedition. Through this co
operation the project can be ac
complished at a grca t saving tc
the Territory.
"The immediate objective of the
blackcod investigation is to deter
mine whether the blackcod found
in Alaska waters are of local isola
ted stock or are a part of a coast
wise migratory stock. Through ap
lication of the scientific knowledge
of the life history of a specie, its
migrations and other factors, it
becomes possible to increase stocks
of fish without curtailment of fish
ing effort,” Anderson pointed out.
The tagging will be much the
same as for salmon except the tags
are yellow and can be turned into
the Alaska Department of Fisher
ies. Since the season is now closed,
the Fish and Wildlife Service is
giving authority to dress and take
in those blackcod that are not
suitable for releasing. However the
Fisheries Department is anxious to
tag as many as possible to increase
the chances of recovery and en
largemeent of the studies. Any pro
ceeds from the sale of the unsuit
able cod will go to the Territorial
general fund.
The splendid cooperation of fish
ermen last year in turning in the
salmon tags was of the greatest
importance to the salmon tagging
studies last summer, Anderson said.
Kirkness will be aboard the Jan
ette, chartered by the IFS to carry
on halibut tagging for the first
time in inside waters.
YOUNG DENIES HE
ACCEPTED FEES IN
GRANTING LOANS
[ WASHINGTON, Feb. 22—(#1—E.
Merl Young, one-time government
| messenger, swore that he never re
ceived any fees or commissions from
anyone who wanted a Reconstruc
Young denied to a senate banking
subccminittee that he offered to be
influential in obtaining a $10,100,000
RFC loan for the Texmass Corp., a
Texas and Massachusetts oil de
velopment Co.
His testimony on that point con
tradicted that of Ross Bohannon,
a Dallas, Tex., attorney, who told
the subcommittee earlier that
i Young sought an $85,000 fee from
I Texmass to influence granting ol
the loan.
“One of these two men is a liar,"
said Senator Tobey (R-NHi.
Tobey. a member of the subcom
mittee, added:
“Somebody has committed per
jury."
“Well. I’m not lying about it,”
Bohannon said when he was recalled
to the stand for further question
ing.
Both men stuck to their stories
when they were asked if they would
to comment on each other’s testi
mony.
The Senate Committee is explor
ing its charges of “favoritism and
influence’’ in the granting of loans
by RFC, the government multi
million dollar lending agency. A re
cent committee report criticized
three RFC directors and said of
Young:
“The individual named most fre
quently in the reports of alleged
influence which have reached the
subcommittee is E. Merl Young.”

"SCUARE DANCE
JUBILEE" TONIGHT
AT 2GTH CENTURY
The biggest musical “hoe down'
2ver filmed, Lippert Productions'
lnugh and song packed “Square
Dance Jubilee” comes to the 20th
Century Theatre tonight with
enough music and mirth to fill a
half-dozen ordinary musicals.
Loaded with 25 songs and 35 in
dividual acts and production num
bers, the film is a true example of
real native music and dancing. The
square dance craze that has swept
the nation, plus the tremendous
new popularity of native American
folk singers gave the impetus foi
the making of the film, an authen
tic All-American musical.
Starring Don Barry, Mary Beth
Hughes, Wally Vernon and Spade
Cooley, the story tells of the hunl
for western entertainers by tele
vision talent scouts Barry and Ver
non. The two go from New York
to Prairie City, a mythical western
town filled with guitar players
square dancers, singers, fiddle
players, orchestras and every othei
type of entertainer.
A big Square Dance Jubilee talent
hunt is conducted by Barry and
Vernon, and stage, screen, radio and
television headliners, who for the
dory’s purposes are all ranch hand?
employed near Prairie City, appear
and give out with mirth and music.
MILITARY AIDS
IN PROBLEMS OF
GAME COMMISSION
“One of the most pressing prob
lems before the Alaska Game Com
mission at the present time is how
to cope with the rapidly increasing
military and civilian population,
which is adding continuous pres
sure on fish and wildlife resources,”
declared Clarence Rhode, Regional
Director of the Fish and Wildlife
Service today in discussing prob
lems before the annual meeting ci
the Commission held in Juneau
last week.
“To meet this difficulty in the
face of curtailed funds and equip
ment we are making every elf)rt
to solicit more and more assist
ance from the military,” Rhode
said.
"Gencrul Kepner has continued
and is augmenting the support
given us by General Nathan Twin
ing formerly in command of the
military in Alaska. He sent Colonel
Donald Springer and several of
the military conservation agents
down to meet with us and we are
making plans now which are sure
to help in a joint approach to con
servation problems. A sizeable
force of military men are being de
tailed to assist our patrol opera
tion, and in many other ways the
combined military forces are giv
ing us a hand. They agree with us
it is a joint problem and may soon
be even more critic.
Rhode declared public support has
been very good during the past
year and that more and more Al
askans are beginning to realize it
will take united effort to keep
wildlife from being wiped out in
the face of what were recently
isolated areas. “With a bettei
equipped staff of wildlife techni
cians, enforcement personnel, and
a first class predator control pro
gram, we are gradually catching up
with the jpb,” he said.
Members of the Commission in
addition to Chairman Earl Ohmer
of Petersburg, are Andy Simons of
Seward, Forbes Baker of Fairbanks,
Harry Brown of Kobuk, and Rhode.
Simons W'as unable to attend the
session due to the death of his
wife a few days before the meet
ing started. Along w:tn the Game
Commission meeting, field person
nel from all divisions of the Fish
and Wildlife Service held the an
nual conference which takes place
at the same time.
