Red Cross Life-Saving
Service Is Nation Wide

a
Scarcity of water apparently has
no effect on interest in water rescue
Arizona, popularity associated with
wide desert stretches and cactus, has
gone in with enthusiasm for the Red
Cross Life-Saving program.
The building OF. new irrigation
dams is rapidly transforming Arizona
into swimming State despite popu.
lar conception Of that country.
In more than 500 swimming inst.
tutes conducted by the Red Cross the
last summer. lfe-saving instruction
was given by the Red Cross.
During the fiscal year ending June
80, 1926, 7,145 men, 5,4O8 women, and
1918 juniors passed the rigid tests
Of the Red Cross Life-Saving Service,
and were awarded insignia. The to.
tai for the year Of 2s,266 represents
an increase Of 6.S74 over the previous
year. The total membership Of this
corps at the close of the year was
102,07s.
The Tenth Annual Roll Call from
November IL to rs is an opportunity
to encourage these efforts through
membership in the Red Cross.

Wires In Gable

Telephone cable is used more ex-
tensiyely in America than in any other
country. More than ninety per cent
of the wire now In use In the Bell
System Is in aerial or underground
cable. The longest underground cable
in the world extends from Washing
ton, D. c., to Boston-455 miles in
length. A combined underground and
aerial cable. S61 miles long, was
placed in service between New York
and Chicago during the latter part Of
1925.
Today, there is hardly a city or
town in the United States served by
telephone system that does not con-
tain cable. In the larger cities, un-
derground conduit containing huge
cables honeycomb the streets and fur
nish unseen but component parts Of

The largest cables used today contain

AMERICAN LEGION AMBULANCE
SERVICE
Week Of October 18th to oath
Inclusive

Inclusive
This past week marked the COM
pletion of six months service of the
American Legion Ambulance for the
people of Cecil county. During that
time a total Of one hundred and ten
trips were made, all of which makes
us wonder how we ever got along
without an ambulance. A careful
digest and summary of these trips
at the end of years service will be
most interesting and this summary
izing report will be available to the
people of the county at that time.
1t is interesting to know that the
ambulance has been moved to it's
new home, the Legion garage, which
has been built by the Legion in the
rear of Union Hospital. Cecil Post
at this time wishes to publicly
acknowledge it's thanks, to Mr..
Taylor Mckinney for his kindness
in housing the ambulance free OF
charge for so many months, while
our own garage was being built, and
for making a second donation OF
five dollars to the ambulance fund at
the time the ambulance was moved.
Mr.. McKenney's kindness and CO.
operation has done much to make
this service efficient during the time
the ambulance was stored in his
garage.
The past week was unique in this
service, due to the fact that but one
call was received during that time,
trip to North East, thus affording
the October driving crew a week
earned rest.

NOTICE TO HUNTERS ON THE
sUsQUEHANNA FLATS

Due to the confiiction, disagree
ments and etc., between the enforce
ment officers and the hunters during
the hunting season of 1925-26 for
wildfowl on the Susquehanna Flats,
conference was held a few days
ago between Honorable Joshua Clay
ton, States Attorney for Cecil Coun-
ty; Honorable w. Worthington Hop
kins, States Attorney for Har-
ford County; Honorable Robert H.
Archer, Assistant Acknowledgment
of Maryland, and E. Lee LeCompte.
State Game Warden, at which time
the following regulations were
agreed upon :
Believing that entering the Sus-
quehanna Flats between the hours OF
midnight and daybreak has a ten
dency to drive the wildfowl from the
feeding grounds and when driven
from their feeding grounds near
daybreak they do not return for
hours afterward, therefore, we be
lieve that by allowing crafts to go
on the Flats between the hours of
5 P. M. and midnight proceeding
the lawful cunning day, provided.
no person shall be permitted to place
any sink box or decoys in the
waters until after 4:3O A. M, of the
legal cunning day, the wildfowl
will not be driven from their feed
ing grounds and we feel that
regulation of this characteristic, have
o tendency to break UP night shoot
ing with big guns, which we are all
aware is very injurious to the sport
of the law abiding citizens, who
purchase license and hunt wildfowl
on the Susquehanna Flats, there
fore, we solicit and feel that we
should have the cooperation of every
gunner of the territory herein
mentioned in helping to break
up this illegitimate and unlawful
method of hunting wildfowl.
Desiring the cooperation of all
persons in the conservation of wild
life and as the lawful hunting
season for wildfowl opens on Mon
day, November LIST, which happens
to be one of the legal cunning days
lof the week on the Susquehanna
Flats, and as there was considerable
contention last season relative to
allowing the boats and rigs to go
on the Flats the evening prior to the
legal cunning day, we call your
attention to the following regula-
ton, which we hope will meet with
your approval and that every per-
son will abide by same.
Hunters OF wildfowl on the Sus-
quehanna Flats may take their rigs
on said waters between P. M. and
IL o'clock midnight the day prior
to the legal cunning day, however,
in doing so no person or persons
shall be allowed to set any sink box
or place any decoys in the waters
until after 4:30 A. M, of the legal
cunning day, which is Monday,
Wednesday and Friday during
November and December, and Mon
day, Wednesday, Friday and Sat
urdays during the month of January.
If every person who hunts Wild
fowl on the Susquehanna Flats will
abide by this regulation, we feel the
wildfowl will not be annoyed and
driven from their feeding grounds,
and will be on said territory when
the hunting hour arrives on the
legal hunting days.

JOHN FRED 0F ANGOON
KEEP STEP WITH ANGOON"

g It has we'll been said that "gold is where you find it." And so in life, good, clean, noble character is to be found where least expected We are giving space in this maga- zine to John Fred of Angoon, Alaska, for the reason that during his life, he was the inspiration of a little band of Indians, living on the edge of Admiralty Island, in their struggle for the better things of life. He passed out, of this life on January 2Oth. last, peacefully, while lying in the arms of neighbors who were with him.
 He himself was an illiterate as called by the vulgar. He never had a chance. But when the movement known as the Alaska Native Brother hood was understood by him, he saw what it meant, and grasped it with prophetic vision. From then on, John Fred and that organization were one and the same.
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-02-15

One of his neighbors writes: ''John Fred has been strong and steadfast member of the An goon Camp of the A. N. B. since it's organization, and in fact the start of the Camp is the untiring work of the deceased brother. He was it's president when he died. He has served as a delegate from Angoon two different times. and has always been cheerful no matter what duty has been assigned to him. In his capacity as president, he has always had instructive talks for the meetings. He was always strong believer in progress and education. For that reason he strongly encouraged, all of his children to go to school. Tn all the weighty matters he always took the lead and has always stood by his convictions. His belief in the Alaska Native Brotherhood and it's program was the faith of man who had glimpsed the future. His motto was "Let us go ahead"
 "John Fred was also member of the council and as such he was a man whose judgment was relied on. He was a member of the council since it's beginning until his death. Such valuable men as John Fred are hard to find, and equally hard to see pass away. for we know that an able leader has left our ranks and it will be hard to fill his place.
 Que to his effort and him serv- ing the same as it's treasurer the Angoon band remained intact for a good many years. He was hon ored by the whole town, and now he is grieved for by all of us. He is survived by wife and six children and a brother. The en- tire town has contributed for his funeral as a mark of honor due to the President of the Angoon Camp No. T."
 Another neighbor writes: "The funeral services were held in the hall, the lesson being from St.

toned kind is as rule, not half great enough to allow any escape ment. Besides this, we have the "big heart," which might be full and great schools of fish along the "lead," and at the opening of the "heart" anxiously awaiting for the lifting of the closed period to take place so as to allow them to pass into the final chamber.
 These regulations issued by the Department of Commerce might seem sufficient to any and all who are not in possession of the actual knowledge of the operation of traps, but to us it seems ridi- culOus
 In the first place, no right think ing American citizen, should allow such obstructions to the passage of the salmon as fish traps. Second, if it should not be in the power of those people to eliminate such such traps, then additional res trictions should be enacted. Such as a gate constructed of cotton net ting with iron rings not more than three inches in diameter, fastened to each side of this cotton netting not more than twenty four inches apart. These rings should be so arranged that they can slide up and down on stretched cable erected from the bottom to the top of the billings at each side of the inst opening at the "lead''. And a line passing through a block attached to the bottom of the gate billings with one end fastened to the lead line of the cotton netting, and the other end of the line to be used for pulling this gate netting down to the bottom when the closed pe- riod takes place.
 Beside this, two hundred feet of the outer end of the "lead" should be lowered to low water mark, this can be done by attach ing row of blanks to the pill ings at extreme low water and wire netting should then be fastened to these blanks, above them should be cotton netting with one side fastened to the blanks at extreme low water mark, the other side could be raised and lowered in accordance with the regulations which should provide that these ;hettings be sunk down to low water

sides of the "small heart" next to the "pot" tunnel, and the bot tom of the "pot" should be either raised up to high water mark or the top of the wall of the "pot" should be lowered to low water mark, and the "spillers'' should be up above high water mark at any and all times : during the closed period.
 Traps should be lifted or emp tied of fish once during period of twenty-four hours. Failing to do so, the trap should immed- lately be closed for the remainder of the year.
