.DUFRESNE HERE /. IN INTEREST OF
 NEW GANELAW
Registered Trapping Law Is Discuss ed In Open Meeting
 Last Night
S. E. ALASKA FAvORs NEW LAW
 INTERIOR ALASKA AGAINST

Frank Dufresne, Executive Secre- tary of the Alaska Game Commission held an open meeting last night in the Legion Dugout which was at tended by a large number of rap pers interested in the proposed Reg istered Traplines law.
 Following somewhat the plan of British Columbia it has been sugges- ted that the Game Commission put registred trapline act into effect in Alaska. This plan would allot q trapper an area of so many miles of coastline or watershed for his trap ping and no one would have a right to trap on this land but himself.
 WOULD INCREASE CATCH
 It is believed by proponents of the plan that the registered trap line would increase the fur eatcf. as each trapper would be interested in building Up his area to give hin, a fair trapping season each year.
 The virtues and pitfalls of the plan were discussed at the meeting last night and a number of worth while criticisms and suggestions were given to MT. Dufresne.
 Interior Alaska is very much op- posed to the plan for their section and it is planned to try and work it out for Southeastern Alaska where the majority seem to favor the idea. There are now 1900 trappers in s. E. Alaska. Under the Registere I Trapline system there would prob ably be about 400 traplines, thus many persons now trapping would heI left out. The number of trappers now in the country is too many and the stock of animals will soon bel depleted unless something is done.
 AVERAGE $50 IN S. E. ALASKA
 The average trapper in S. E. All aska, according to reports of the Game Commission makes a yearly income of around $50 on his fur catch. The average for Alaska isl about $38O while a good trapline inI the Fort Yukon district will net the trapper sometimes as high as 5000 in a year.
 The use of unknown Wardens pa trolling in their own trolling boats was started by the Game Commits sion this year in the Sitka district and proved a valuable aid III en- forcement of the game laws It is planned to have more of these uni known wardens in the field next year.

' F WHEN THE GAME WARDEN F CAME ALONG

* This "Whopper" is told by * George Baer of Benton, Wash * ington and is surely a "Baer" * of a fish story. Some time ago * a friend and I decided to go fishing. On a previous occasion * when we had fished this cer- * tain river our luck had been so * poor that I was not surprised
 * when the best I could do was to * hook some little fellows just un- * der six inches. But being Op- * tomistic by nature, I continued * with my casting. At lunch time * I joined my partner and heard * the usual query.
 * What luck?" I said, Rot * ten," and repeated his question. * He replied that he almost had * his limit and went on to ex- * plain how he made such a good * catch. It seemed, remembering * our previous experience on this * stream, and wanting to produce * results this time, he had * brought a small hand-operated * wringer. When he caught a small fish he would run 1t * through the wringer and it * would come out a nice eight or * nine-incher. Pretty smart, we thought, but as we were sitting * there. the game warden strolled * by. He looked the fish over, eyed the wringer and scratch * ed his head, but not for long. He proceeded to pick up the fish and ran them backwards through the wringer and then arrested my friend.

FOR UNEMPLOYED


 The "CCC' was created for the express purpose of providing work for unemployed young men between the ages of Is and 25 and confining the work to forestry, soil erosion, flood control and similar projects not interfering with normal employ ment.
 Owing to the fact that the leed for employment in Alaska is not con- fined to men between the ages Of -S and 25, the Forest Service was au- thorized to waive the maximum age limit. Special authority was also granted to permit the employment of married men with dependent families and allow them a per diem in lieu of subsistence.
 30 IN DISTRICT
 Thru the CCC organization the Pe- tersburg Division of the Tongass National Forest was allotted a max imum of 30 enrollees. Camps nave been operated at Petersburg and Wrangell. Projects selected ard which are completed or under way include the following:

A ski jump has been built as a part of the recreatiOnal development plan. The ranger sta tion dwelling and grounds have been improved and landscaped. A plank walk was constructed to Sandy Beah in cooperation with the Town of Pe- tersburg. Debris resulting from ear ly highway construction has been cleaned up as an aid to fire proven tion. A city lot purchased by the Forest Service has been cleared and building construction thereon is un- der way.
 At Wrangell work has been done on fire prevention thru roadside clearing. Other projects include the construction of a wood road into a free use area accessible to Wrangell residents who use wood for fuel, and intensive development of recreation- al area.

by Company.

b. the Associated Press.
The National Labor Relations Board
has ordered the Shell Oil Co. Of Cali
fornia to bargain collectively with
five unions. The board declared these
unions to be legal representatives Of

to withdraw all recognition from the
so-called Shell Conference delegate
plan, which was declared to be under
company influence and not a valid
agency for the purposes of collective
bargaining"
The recognized unions, which filed
charges that Shell violated the Wag-
ner labor act, are International As
sociation of Oil Field, Gas Well and
Refinery Workers Of America: Inter-
national Association of Machinists:
International Brotherhood of Boiler
makers, Iron Shipbuilders and Help
ers; international Brotherhood of
