DUFRESNE AND TERHUNE

Appointment by the Biological Survey, with the approval of Agriculture Secretary Henry Wallace of Frank Dufresne to head game control work in the kans from Barrow to Dixon Entrance The new Executive Officer is not only of the capable that could have been chosen position but he is what Alaskans refer to of their kind
 While a conservationist at heart Mir Dufresne has been in the Territory long enough to have the Alaska viewpoint. He has trekked its tundra; traversed it's rivers, valleys and mountains length and breadth of the country He knows it's prob- lems and the game problems.
 As a newspaperman he came to the country with an open mind after service with the army overseas during the World War of imagination and foresight he the vast possibilities of the north land and adopted it his own. In the years he has spent here, he has absorbed it's traditions; has learned its ways known it's hardshps but ever kept bright in his mind the fact that Alaska is destined for great future. Frank Dufresne is as Alaska as a 98er. No man with broader viewpoint could have been selected for the big task of game management in the Territory
 Not only practical and learned game expert the new officer is douby qualified in that he has the creative touch He not only absorbs to himself the greatness of the country but he has the happy faculty north to others His stories of fishing for Alaska wary trout and hunting her famous game are read the nation over and have brought scores of sports men and others to the country. The writing fra ternity probably lost talented fictionist when MT

Dufresne turned his endeavors to game management vocation and left writing only an avocation.
 Alaskans and his scores of friends throughout the nation wish the official success in his new duties.
 The change in Game commission executives finds H. w Terhune former chief, transferred to the Biological Survey headquarters in Washington later, probably, to be assigned district in the States.
 MT Terhune served faithfully and wei in the diff ficut post of game control head the Territory and his record of achievement being recognized by his chieftains in allowing him transfer at his own request for health reasons His physicians have told him the drier climate of the south is better suited for his physical condition
 There those who did not like Hugh Terhune, but there is who will say that he did not carry his duties to the letter and he has of well wishers in his endeavors.
 MT Terhune above all things fair. He knew no favortes and played none. His honesty, some times nconvenient to those who demanded fayors, unswervng It said of him that on one occasion he refused special permit to the chief of his own bureau although the he turned down could easily have removed him from office The best evil dence of the high regard in which his superiors held him is found in the fact that action was taken. But it is interesting to follow the tale.
 Some seasons later, distinguished Congressman north junket trip. This worthy thought, considering his position, he should be allowed to go out and kill bear without paying the $50 non-resi- dent license fee Terhune stood firm the law. The Congressman went back to Washington in rage. He made the telephones jingle in the National Capital Finally he got Terhune's chief on the phone and demanded that the Alaska game head be dis charged forthwith The Bureau head inquired the circumstances and after learning them replied, Hell Terhune turned down a similar request when I was up there. Sorry but there's nothing can do about it. Terhunes right We're wrong"
 Later the same Congressman sat a committee before which Terhtme appearing, asking for additional funds for his department He broke into a smile when he the Alaska executive, extended his hand and promptly approved Perfumes request for more money. He later confided to friends that you couldn't do anything to who is so darn honest"
 The States are fortunate in getting an excellent official in Hugh Terhune and Alaska fortunate in that she had mighty able to step into his shoes. Both are kingpins in their profession.
