WILDLIFE AGENT
 NEW TITLE FOR
 CAME WARDENS
Commission Announces Change Due to Broad
 Variety of Duties

On and after July 1 of this year game wardens of the Alaska Game Commission will work under the title of "Wildlife Agent"
 "The new designation is suggested because of the broad variety of duties in wildlife conservation now being carried out by these officers, 7" the Commission statement said.
 Enforcement of laws and regu- lations, while still very important part of the Commissions services in the Territory, by no means covers all the work performed by it's field agents. Observations and analysis of the fluctuating numbers of game and fur species, recommendations for future regulations, special care of game during, severe winters, stock ing of depleted and barren areas, educational activities among the na- tive people and school children, and consultations with sportsmen'S and trappers' groups, form portion of every officers routine It is not their purpose merely to build up a record in the number of arrests made, but to aid in all ways possible the im- provement of wildlife conditions.
 "A new badge of distinctive design carrying the familiar brown bear seal of the Alaska Game Commis- sion, will be worn by the Wildlife Agents"

Mountain Sheep
 Are Disappearing

LONGMONT, Colo, June T. = When rangers of Rocky Mountain National Park discovered 8 large Rocy Mountain big horn ram i'll on a high mountain cliff they hur- riedly summoned an ambulance, then carried the ram down the mountain.
 When the ambulance arrived the ram was rushed to the park stock farm but no veterinarians were aV- ailable so physicians were summon ed The ram died soon after they arrived.
 Rangers said they made desper- ate efforts to save the ram because they hoped to learn something about the cause of disease that is killing many big horn sheep. In the last 10 years the death rate has been ex- tremely heavy and not more than l50 sheep survive. Rangers fear the park flock may become extinct.

remarkably accomplished vocalist

are not destined to be disappointed

The Eddie Cantor discovery cannot,
however, lay claim to high honors in
the acting department. His latest
effort is characterized by the same
wooden pantomime that was a feature
of earlier Breen pictures, but it should
be noted that there is definite trace
of improvement. Bobby's singing is
capable of coaxing more than few
people to the box office, and it will
suffice for his devotees. Hawaii
Calls" bears the stamp, "for devotees
only: that vibrant young voice is
almost its sole recommendation.
The story deals with a. pair Of
stowaways, Master Breen and Ned
Sparks, who complete the undoing Of

tween musical interludes and often
entertaining comments by Mr.. Sparks.
Ned's dour face and amusing lines is

well enough, but it does not weigh
very heavily in the final estimate; not
