Boom Gaining

Judge J. B. Himsl, candidate for

FOR THE PEoPL5'S SAFETY

All traffic regulations are for the
protection and safety of the public.
It is obviously the height of folly to-
have traffic laws and not have them,
obeyed. It would be folly for city
to make regulations for automobile
travel in the city and not enforce
those regulations. Better far not
make any rules or have any "stop
signs" After city council had made
certain rules it should see that they
are impartially enforced. Any other
course will subject the mayor and
council to much criticism. The en-
forcement should be all THE time and
not spasmodic.-St. James Plain
dealer.

LURE OF WHALE
ATTRACTS YOUTH
Pursuit of Deep Sea Game
In North Pacific Draws
Many Applicants.

Seattle, Wash.-There may be no
more "Mobey Dicks" in the ocean
depths, but there are hundreds OF
young Americans who want to go
whaling. The Offices Of two whaling
companies here are overwhelmed
with applicants for places ao this sea-
sons whaling fleet.
may be thing of the past, but out
on the pillows Of the north Pacific men
and ships still pursue the sea beast.
For decades whaling stations have OPP
Grated along the Alaskan shores, the
ships sometimes going 200 miles of
shore. The narrow strip hunted when
compared to the broad Pacific and
other oceanic waters indicates that
but small plot Of the whales domain
has been searched in recent years.
Many Ships In Hunt.
Eleven whaling ships are due to
sail from here soon. Six are bound
for Akutan, Aleutian islands. Five
are destined for a trip to the north
east corner Of Siberia, where con-
cesssion from the Soviet government
permits whales to be killed.
THAR she blows is heard no more,
for nowadays whales are shot with
nigh-powered modern harpoon guns.
Boom! Then a terrific churning of
foamy sea water and whale Is tied
alongside Of the boat. Each means
anything from 40 to 80 barrels Of oil
at 60 cents per gallon a lot of whale
meat, whale leather, ton and half
IT dried blood and meat for poultry
feed, one sailed whales tail for Japan
and ton of bone fertilizer.
Get Fair Wages.
OF course this money does not all
60 to the crew, but they get fair
wages with bonus. The gunner. the
prince Of the crew, draws about 500
per month and $3.50 for each whale.
During best seasons this means about
$500 per month. The captain gets the
same. The chief engineer draws $40
for each whale, his assistant So and
the sailors and firemen $3.50 apiece in
addition to regular wages. Thus the
crew likes a crack gunner and treats
him fine
The OIL Is sold to soap manufacture
ers and for lubricants. The revenue
from by-products more than pays the
expenses of the whaling operations.
In the old New Bedford days only the
oil was utilized. Ninety out Of 1OO
whalers are Norwegians.
