FISHERIES NEW DEAL PLEASING
 TO EVERYBODY
Bez Enthusiastic Over Poli- cies Inaugurated by
 Bell, Wingard

The new deal" in the salmon fisheries industry has proved to be the salvation of every interest con nected with it and fisherman and canner alike join in their praise of it, declared Nick Beg, President of Peril Strait PackiI g Company and who rose from the ranks of the seine fisherman to that of his present position. He was enthus- iastic in his praise of Commis- sioner Frank T. Bell, and his first lieutenant, L. G. Wingard, Alaska Agent of the Bureau of Fisheries.
 "Fishermen, cannerS and the Ter ritory, all have benefited from the policies inaugurated by the. new regime in the Bureau of Fisheries" ," MT. Beg declared today. "The fish ermen have done well, the cannerS in this district have put up average packs, and the Territory will get its average amount of revenue from the taxes levied upon both the canners and the fishermen"
 Extensions Were Justified
 The extensions granted by Com missioner Bell, upon the recom- mendations of Agent Wingard, made it possible for the fishermen to substantially increase their earn ings, cannery workers to work Ienger, and the canners to put up normal packs, it was pointed out. Due to the lateness of the main run of pink salmon, had the season been closed down on the dates fixed in the original regulations, MT Beg said, the earnings of the seiners would have been much smaller, the packs considerably cur tailed and the revenue accruing to the Territory commensurately re- duced
 There is no doubt that the ex- tensions were fully justified by con- ditionS in the runs of fish, he added. There are now more fish in the waters of Icy and Chatham Straits than at any previous time this season, and the supply for escapement to the spawning beds is more than adequate to seed them.
 Close Supervision Responsible
 Only the close personal super vision of Agent Wingard made it possible to obtain the additional time granted to the industry for fishing and packing, MT. Beg de- clared. Since his arrival here about midseason, he has spent practically all of his time on the ground, making almost continuous inspec- tions by boat and plane, and cov- ering all of the districts several times so that he would know just what action to take. It was this direct contact that led to the extensions.
 This is such a marked change from the policies used under the former regime, that it has been commented on by both fishermen and the canners. Under the old method, instead of being able tc confer with the Commissioner or Agent in person and show them the actual conditions existing in the field we had to communicate with them by wire at long dis tances. If that control had been in power this season, it would have

Phil Heath Assigned to
Shore Duty at Pensacola

Life in Uncle Sans navy is anything
but monotonous, according to Philip
Heath, White Bluffs boy who enlisted
in January, 1882, for four year term.
AS matter of fact the "spice of life"
is dished out to the navy men in large
doses-easy to take.
Philip began his training at San
Diego on January IA, 1882. Upon COM
pletion of his preliminary training
lasting three months, he was trans
ferred to the Great Lakes Naval Train
ing Station at Great Lakes, Illinois,
where he was given a complete course
in aviation mechanics. This training
occupied period of five months, when
he returned to San Diego, this time to
be stationed on the airplane carrier
ship Langley. The Langley is affec-
tionately known in the navy as 1.-THE
Covered Wagon" since it is Uncle
Sans pioneer airplane carrier as we'll
as being the first ship in the world to
be electrically propelled.

OUR NEW DEAL

Four months ago Franklin D. Roosevelt was
elected to the presidency of the United States on
his platform Of a New Deal Just what the New
Deal actually to be, provided great deal OF
discussion and argument at that time Those who
believed in it were hard pressed to explain the
phrase; many openly skeptical OF it; and even
astute political observers disagreed to it's exact
meaning
Following the election, with the nations nerves
somewhat queted, doubt as to what the New Deal
would be grew; even the faithful began to believe
that perhaps it was but e-getting slogan, and
it was generally believed that Roosevelt would
settle down to be '.just another PRESIDENT.
With the Inauguration not two weeks old and
with special session assembled for week, the
eyes of the nation have awakened to the fact that
the New Deal no empty phrase but an actu-
ality-not only spirit in Washington, but
also the rehabilitation Of the basic industries of
the nation.
Hardly had the echoes Of the Inauguration died
away when the President startled the nation by
declaring a national bank holiday and began the
process of stabilizing the banking system. The
people knew then that the bottom of the depres-
sion had been reached, that with the cooperation
of everyone the long uphill climb to normally
would be started
Within the week the President asked Congress
for the power of cutting government expenditures
by more than $500, 100000, and was granted these
powers Immediately this action was followed by
a message to Congress demanding modification of
the Volstead act by egalizing 80 per cent beer,
thereby recreatng enormous industry, new
markets for machinery and farm products, and
great source of revenue. Farm and unemployment
relief bills also being drawn up, and quick ac-
ton is expected on these.
These activities-drastic as they seem to des-
pondent country grown pessimistic-are resulting
in great wave of confidence. Major banking in
stitutions have reopened and cheerfuly report in
creased deposits. Farm produce prices slowly
rising. The stock market is making brilliant
covery with more orders to buy than to sell, and
with the prices Of stocks surging upwards
The same cards are being used, but it's fresh
DEAL and promising one.

Each student was asked this week
to make an estimate of his citizenship
with the aid of definite list of re-
quirements. The list is called the
Character Conduct Self Rating Scale
for Students, published by the Bureau
of Educational Measurements, Teach
.ers' College, Kansas. .
It contains collection of one hum
dred points, on each Of which the stu
dent graded himself as excellent, very
good, good, fair or poor The one hun
dred points are arranged under ten
main headings, as follows: Punctual-
ity, obedience, honesty, good health,
self-control courtesy cooperation, in
dustry, fair play, and service.
The scales are believed valuable be-
cause they bring before a students
mind the points on which he is judged
by Others

SAINT and interesting as the men are
shifted about from time to time to
perform various duties. The men are
granted frequent shore leave when in
port and there are many forms Of
entertainment on board, including
"talkies" every night and sports of
various kinds. The Langley basketball
team was the champion of the base
fleet this past winter At frequent in
tervals the ship steams out to sea for
gunnery practice, being absent from
port about ten days each time.
In January this year Philip had the
pleasure of inspecting the Constitu-
tion-"Old Ironsides" while it was an
chored at the municipal dock in San
Diego. In February the fleet went to
San Francisco to take part in the
ground breaking ceremonies incident to
the beginning of construction of the
Golden Gate Bridge.
While in San Francisco Philip had
the great pleasure of spending a week
end with Mr.. and Mrs. w. M. Under
hill. Following is a portion of his letter
describing this visit:

ZOOLOGY

Mr.. Jenkins found three young mice
in box, Monday morning. They were
transferred to a wire cage. They do
not seem quite content in their con-
f1nement. They are on display in the
Science room and every one who comes
near them likes to see how quickly they
can go from one side to the other
At certain times they get very little
rest unless hidden in their nest on
cardboard box.
The Zoology class is now beginning
a study of the frog. This is the first
animal with a backbone studied so far
this year. Carroll Meeker was rather
shocked at reading in the Zoology
book "The skin of a frog is Naked"
so he started baby's layette to rem
edy the embarrassing situation.

MORE SPRING FEVER

Mr.. Carponeau is prepared to answer
all questions concerning kite building
and flying. He is not satisfied with a
kite merely fiying-it must wrap itself
around telephone wires, perform start
ling contortions in mid-air and finally
remain suspended above vacant lot.
Only such a phenomena as this will
satisfy Mr.. Carboneau, who is out for
adventure plus. OF course. everyone is
flying Kites, but not in such an inter-
esting way! Miss Duvall seq no one can
beat her record at kite manipulation
more about that next week.

CONFIDENCE AND COOPERATION

While recent banking developments have
ated rather disturbing situation throughout the
country, the outlook for the future is considerably
years. The intervention of the federal govrnment
has brought the matter to definite head and re-
construction may be expected to progress rapidly
from this time forward.
The federal government has by no means ex-
hausted it's aid but it cannot lift the entire burden
of rehabilitation from the shoulders of it's citizens
it has supplied the initiative and we must now
step in and undertake portion of the respon-
sibility.
Confidence and cooperation were never so badly
needed as during these crucial times. Without
them it will be easy to slip backwards, to lose the
ground already gained With them the nation will
surely continue forward towards normalcy.

ashore. walked around the city awhile
and then went over to Berkeley to
visit the Underhills. We were so busy
talking that we nearly forgot to eat
and 1t was nearly 8 o'clock when we
finished; then we went for ride up
on the hills overlooking the Bay cities.
1t was wonderful sight. Sunday
morning after a delicious breakfast we
spent considerable time around the u.
Of Calf, especially in Bancroft Lii
brary where Mr. Underhill does most
of his work. Here saw many inter-
esting and valuable old books, some
between 400 and 500 years old and
many as old as printing. It would take
all day to write Of all the things Of
interest which I saw. The University
about third larger in attendance than
our o. Of w., Is not as beautifully laid
out as ours. The buildings are too close
together, spelling the beauty Of the
Campus, which is not the case at the
U. Of w.
Sunday evening Mr.. Underhill had
work to do, so Mrs Underhill and I
went over to Frisco and went out to
the Palace Of the Legion Of Honor
where we saw many works Of famous
sculptors and some very wonderful
paintings, the most important of these
being Whistler's Portrait of His Moth
err" valued at about half million
dollars and loaned to this gallery for
only thirty days from the Louvre in
Paris. The evening was spent in seeing
good show, window shopping in
China Town and eating In fine
Chinese cafe where we talked until
nearly midnight and called it good
week
Philip has been planning a thirty
day furlough early in the summer,
when he expected to visit his family
in White Bluffs. Needless to say, his
mother and brothers have been liter
ally counting the days until he would
be here. Last Saturday morning Mrs.
Heath received a night letter from him
from Los Angeles, stating that he was
starting for Pensacola, Florida, where
he had been transferred for two years
shore duty at the Naval Air Station.
A letter to his brother Donald, begun
before he had been advised of his
transfer and finished on the train en-
route to Pensacola explains about the
transfer and graphically describes his
experience in Los Angeles during the
earthquake.

Reports came out last Monday,
March 10, for the third time this year.
Twenty seven weeks of work have been
completed, and there remain nine more
until the end of the year. These last
nine weeks will be the hardest drag
of all, for the spring weather always
offers distraction that is hard to
combat.
