ROTARY HEARS
GAME WARDEN
Byron Carlson Makes Brilliant
Address on Conservation at
Meeting Last Evening.

God created everything equal but
man came along and destroyed the
balance causing erosion and an over
abundance of insect life" said Byron
Carlson, game warden and ardent con-
servationist, in his talk to the Rotary
club last evening, after being introduced
by Ernest Hanson.
He stated that three remedies were
possible to overcome the man wrought
deficiencies in game and fish life in the
majority of instances. Limiting the
game bag" more fish hatcheries and
game FARMS" and 'reasearch work to
ascertain the amount of feed certain
areas will supply for wildlife."
Mr.. Carlson said that the wardens ir
the past month had fed 20 tons of hay
to $1,000 deer on the Superior National
Forest and further stated that only
about 1000 of these got in on the feed
ings. He did not believe that starvation
was the principal cause of deer NOR
tally but that predators and toothless
old age was the prime cause.
Judge Edward Freeman and Barney
Irwin of Virginia were Rotarian visitors
at the meeting. Gust Carlson of Tower
was guest of Judge Freeman and Vim
cent DiNino, home from the University
for a vacation visit, was the guest OF
his father, Frank DiNino.

Harmon Promoted
to Regional Office

Ray u. Harmon, who has been super
visor of the Superior National Forest
since January, 1884, has been promoted
to assistant regional forester with head
quarters in Milwaukee.
While his many friends in this city
rejoice in his promotion, they also re-
greet his departure from the Superior
and the infrequency of his visits here
to be occasioned by the larger territory
he will needs cover.
Before being named supervisor, Mr.
Harmon was assistant supervisor here
from 1925 to $780, when he went to
Park Falls, Wisconsin as supervisor OF
the Chequamegon forest.
He will be succeeded as supervisor OF
the Superior by G. w. Hendee of IRON
wood, Michigan, where he has been
supervisor of the Ottawa National
Forest. He will assume the office on

Both Are Correct

Narcissus is the botanical name
for family of dubious plants and
"daffodil' is the English name for
1t. They both apply to all OF the
many sub-groups into which the
family is subdivided. Therefore,
whether you use the botanical name
"narcissus" or the English name
daffodil you are correct, even
though you may be looking at the
large trumpets, barii, leedsi, po-
cts, poetaz, jonquils, or some OF
the less commonly grown members
Of the family. The jonquil Is

CROSS-COUNTRY SKI EVENT lS SET
 FOR WEEKEND
Men Are to Compete Over Short Course in First
 Race of Kind Here

At meeing last night of the rac- ing committee of the Juneau Ski Club. it was decided to schedule country ski race for men on next Sunday afternoon, weather permitting. Should snow conditions be, in the opinion of the committee members, unsatisfactory for the race, public announcement of the cancellation of the event will be made not later than Saturday after noon.
 AS the event will be the first cross country competition to be held here, it was last evening decided that a not too stiff" course will be set by the committee on Sunday morning. The course will be laid in the Douglas Ski Area, likely start ing in the second meadow and fin ishing at the lower meadow, just below the ditch. The committee will endeavor to take advantage of all varia tions of terrain in laying out a course that will require approxi- mately one-half hours running.
 Although the event will be one in which points may be acquired to- ward the Henning Cup, which is available for competition only by club members in good standing, the committee stressed that all skiers, whether or not they are members, are welcome and urged to enter the race that they may learn their own comparative ski rating from the competition Though other than club members cannot secure Hen ming Cup points, they can gain much experience that will be of value to them in the "open" Annual Tourna- ment events by running the various weekend races that are outlined for this season.
 It was to lure additional starters from the ranks of local skiers into competition that it was determined that this first cross-country event be run over an easy course.
 The committee last evening also devoted further consideration to a seasons program of events for women skiers. It was the decision that before a suitable program and trophy should be arranged, it is first necessary to determine that there are sufficient women ski com- petitors. That just how many fair skiers wish to race may be ascertain ed. it is urged that all would-be woman racers advise the club or committee of their intentions before this weekend.

Dead" AIIiga!ors
 May hoi Be Dead

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Jan. Il. Tip to owners of alligators: don't throw the gator away just because he appears dead at the first spell of cold weather.
 Leo Blondin, Oklahoma zoo keep CT. runs an orphanage for pet alli- gators that are tossed into the city dump along about the time cold weather comes to Oklahoma.
 "Alligators aren't built for cold weather" says Blondin. Under that rough hide they have very tender heart and nervous system. Thirty five degree weather makes alligat- ors stiffen up like they are dead. So his owner losses him out"
 Actually the gators aren't dead but merely in state of suspended animation. When they warm up they come back to life.
