SCHOOL WILL PRESENT
 FINE PROGRAM
Christmas Production Next Monday and Tuesday :
 Will Be Different

The Christmas program to be given by the Juneau Public Schools next Monday and Tues day nights, December 19 and 20, will involve approximately 15O students from the second grade up. This offering will be under the direction of Mrs. J. w. Woods and Miss Eunice Zimmerman. who will be aided by the teachers of the various grades.
 Enlarg.ng on the original plans, those in charge have divided the program into two parts, the Toy
 Symphony and the Christmss Festival.
 Represented by the interior of an oriental toy shop. the Toy
 Symphony, by Joseph Hoydn. will
 be something different than the
 local public has seen before. In the first movement the drums and traps take the leading part, while
 the spirit of the music is aided in it's presentation by dancing. The drummers, Winfield Pullep, Billie Friend, and Ernest Wes chenfelder, are dressed in oriental
 costume. They carry out the cf- fects of the piece with a great variety of percussion instruments, rattles, whistles, triangles and
 are assisted by dancers in appro- priate costumes.
 The second movement is a minuet given by six girls from
 the upper grades and High School. An allegro movement, increasing
 in tempo as 1t draws near the end. constitutes the finale. This
 will also be interpreted in dance
 by Grace Meggitt and Harriet Holman.
 In the Christmas Festival all grades from the second year up are represented. This part of the performance will be given in pail tomine. with Miss Ardena Leer. 
 who has had experience in such
 productions before, acting as read
 CT. while Tom Stewart as a "Llt- tie Boy" will introduce the a. tors.
 Including % 1t does approxi-
 mately 150 students, this program will contain the largest cast that has ever been put before the Juneau public In . single produc- ton. As a grand finale the entire cast will appear on the stage. ~ no seating space will be re- served on the main floor for those in the cast. they will be handled behind the stage, task of n0 small size.

practically the whole coast of Unimak Island. Further restric- tions placed in effect in the Shu- magin Islands waters.
 The number of waters in which fishing is entirely prohib- ited have been increased. Pro- nounced changes have been made in the Kodiak area. All of the eastern shores of the island from Uyak Bay to Kizhuyak Bay, in elusive, is closed to traps. All salmon traps are excluded from Resurrection Bay.
 "The commercial fishing sea son in the Copper River area opens five days earlier than this year. Fishing in the Boring Riv- CT area is permitted after 6 a. n of August 10.
 Measures have also been talk en for the protection of herring, shrimp, clam and crab fisheries in Alaska. Supplemental regula- ticns will be issued from time to time to meet changing con- ditions."
 SEATTLE, Dec. 14. - We think Commissioner O'Malley's restrictions go too far" IT. B. Friele, Chairman of the Packers Committee of the Association of Pacific Fisheries said, when ask ed for comment on the new sal mon fishing regulations.
 But there is nothing we can do but accept them" he added. "They will eliminate 30 per cent of the present traps and reduce the Alaska fish pack 25 per cent. Apparently more traps owned by the cannery operators were elim- mated than those held by inde- pendent fishermen" he said.

 There's going to be some big do- ings in A. E. Hall Saturday night and anyone who permits himself to be misled into not being there. will miss such time as has not been experienced since Hec was purp.
 Julian's Orchestra will be there to play all the hoedowns, and what ever else they want to dance. The old barn has been all slicked up for this ruction, and there's going to be plenty of fun and plenty of noise for the hungriest for fun and noise.

Wilds P Richardson, former Chair man of the Alaska Road Commits sion, and Major Malcolm Elliott. the present chairman. talked in connection with the measure.
 The project proposed an appro- priation of S750,OOO to build the tramway to connect Nome up with the coal deposits on the Kugruk river and make accessible for de- velopment the Kougarok. Inma- chuk, Keewalfk and Candle creek mining districts.
 Delegate Sutherland argued that the proposed project interested the people of Alaska more than any other highway plan" Major Elliott declared that he' would not recommend the proposei construc- ton and that his c~anl1sslpn was making plans to furnish less ex- pensive but adequate highway factl- ities into the mining regions men rioned.

BOAT PIONEER RELIEVED LOST

Cordova, Dec. 31, (R-Search for the :n,ssing D. at Pioneer continues. but unsuccessfully. under the ad- verse conditions. The Seal was forced to return after a battle with heavy seas for three days. She de- veloped engine trouble and further search was deemed dangerous.
 It is said that only two men. Cap tain William Taylor, and Harry Hart, engineer. were on the Pioneer at the time she was lost. If this ia true, the insurance on the boat is lost, as the insurance company requires a crew of three men on that type of boat.
 Two skiffs left today to patrol the Copper River flats. Navigation is extremely hazardous in that re- zion because ice rushes down the Copper river.
 The Pioneer was missing TOT more than a fortnight once before but returned. It is unlikely that the boat could have weathered the raging storms this time. however. but the search is to continue until it is definitely known that the ves- sel is lost.
