TO MAKE FISHERIES SURVEY

Geo. S. Maynard. President of the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce of Nome, recently wired both Governor Geo. A. Parks and Delegate Dan \. Sutherland, asking them to use r;ieir influence ...mard having d fisheries survey mace of Boring Sea as soon as pos- sib.e. In response to his wires, President Maynard received favCr- able answers from bntl: these oifi- cials. which wires a.e published here for their general interest, to the community. The answers are self-explanatory:
 Juneau. May. 1, 1928 Geo. s. Maynard, Nome. Alaska. Shall be glad to assist in your ef- forts for survey of Fisheries in Boring Sea. If you have a definite plan to suggest to the Bureau of Fisheries. I would like to have a summary of it.
 GEO. A. PARKS. Governor.
 Washington. D. C. May 4. 1928 Geo. s. Maynard, --s President of Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce.
 Nome. Alaska.
 It is the intention of the Bureau of Fisheries to explore Boring Sea for halibut this summer, but they will probably not get North of Pribilof Islands this season.
 It is their intention to explore all of Boring Sea eventually.
 There is every reason to believe that there is an abundance of hal ibut in Boring Sea.
 The Bureau of Fisheries and all the fishing interests desire proof that supply of halibut exists in Boring Sea, as such demonstra- tion would relieve the Pacific Ocean fishing banks which are already overfished.
 There is every inducement for the Bureau of Fisheries to comply with the request of the Nome Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible
 George D. Schofield. National Counselor for the Nome Chamber of Commerce brought this matter to my attention ten days ago and my reply to him was similar to this telegram.

Legion to Sponsor
Baseball, Swimming

While every Legion post in
America is sponsoring Junior Lee
gion baseball teams to keep the
boys healthy and happy, Minnesota
posts are taking the initiative in
another direction by launching a
series of local life-saving CAM
paigns whereby the young folks of
the community will be trained by
experts to swim and save life in
dangerous waters.
Minnesota Legionaires believe
that Minnesota with it's 10000
sparkling lakes, is the ideal state
to launch what they expect will be
come a Legion national activity.
Past National Commander Rufus
R. Rand of Minneapolis originated
the idea and arranged with a ma
tionally famous expert of the
American Red Cross Life-Saving
Corps to supervise this campaign
from a department angle, with
headquarters at the Legion office
in 306 Old Capitol, st. Paul.
Brainerd is one of the first
Minnesota Legion posts to grasp
this opportunity. The boys there
have saved a $400 fund to finance
the life-saving instruction plans

FORMER ENEMIES NOW FAST FRIENDS

Ten years brings about wonderful changes in
the viewpoint of people and nations. At the close
of the World War Now H. 1918, it was predicted
that there would be everlasting enemity between
the people of the Central Powers and Allied coun-
tries. Time has given time for retrospection which
has resulted in the realization that life is entirely
too short to maintain hatreds by nations or indi-
viduals.
The Atlantic flight made by the German-Irish
crew with the Bremen has disclosed the fact that
Capt. Koehl, as aviator in the German army was
prisoner of War of the French for time before the
Armistice. At dinner given Major James Fitz-
maurice Irish member of the crew, and his German
colleagues, Baron Huenefeld and Capt Koehl,
by the Friendly Sons of st. Patrick in New York
Monday evening, Major Fitzmaurice stated he had
been German prisoner of for 10 weeks. In
speaking of this experience Major Fitzmaurce said:
During the war was flying dispatches at
the front when got lost in storm and irifted
