 Seapiane Service
 Meanwhile, the Governor said, he is taking up with CAA the problem of giving steady summer service be- tween Seattle and Juneau by sea- plane.
 eThere is nothing far-fetched or visionary" Gruening said, in ex- pecting an increasing number of people to jump on a plane in New York or some other Eastern center in the evening and be in Juneau the next afternoon ready to spend as much time in Alaska as we can fill with interesting recreational ae- tivities7
 The Governor placed improved communication in general, and the Seattle-Junaau air service in par tieular, first among Alaska's needs. fEe remarked he had found all AL askans agree upon the things the Territory must have, the only diff ferences being in their priority.
 Tourist Industry
 Alaskans. to date. have not been particular,y touTist- minded, the Governor said. He noted that the tourist industry is a late develop ment everywhere. but urged that Alaskans seize upon their tourist opportunity promptly.
 Governor Gruening placed tour ists beside mining. the fisheries and furs as one of Alaska's great po- tential industries for the near fu- lure.
 In his former home state, Maine, the Governor said tourists nave be- come the greatest industry, replac- ing forestry. fishing and ship-build- ing. Hawaii, he said, has developed tourists into an industry bringing frcn 25 to 30 million dollars a year into the islands and providing third crop" supplementing pine apples and sugar.
 Alaska UnrivalIed
 Alaska, withsits unriyalled tourist attractions. should be ready to make the most of the tourist business when it develops on a large scale, as it is bound to do, the Governor said.
 He praised Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman, who was de- scrihed as being "keenly aware" of the possibilities and value of the tourist industry for Alaska and whose work to promote tourist en- jcynent of Alaska's S attractions has been so valuable.
 People coming to Alaska don't want luxury the Governor said. They want to get as close to nature as they can All we have to do, he declared, is provide the relatively simple facilities necessary to take care of such visitors and to make their stay ill the Territory enjoyable
 Tt takes an Fastener, someone from the sidewalks of New York, to truly appreciate the beauty of Al aska," Governor Gruening said.
 Civic Improvement
 Improvement and Identification of the City of Juneau is a great task which the community should keep uppermost among it's aims, the Governor recommended. Most communities are ugly in their early days, he said, but suggested that the time has arrived for Juneau to formulate City plan visualizing the community 10 or 20 years hence and making provisions for new homes, new streets and better living con- dltions.

$34 Million
Forest Fire
Loss Listed

Atlanta. Oct. 11.-Careless and
criminal burning of forests cost
southern landowners over "a million
dollars each year, according to re-
cent figures compiled by State for
esters in cooperation with the u ,:
Forest Service Based on estimated
losses in II southern states over a
five-year period, the figures repre-
sent damage to young growth killed.
loss of volume in grown trees, ana
damage to improvements. These flg-
ures include only the value OF TIM
Der as raw product and do not re-
fleet the loss of wages, tax base, ana
profits from manufacture
Farmers and other landowners OF
the South can i'll afford this heavy
loss in forest resources. Increased
markets for wood products and the
great need for additional cash crops
on southern farms make this annual
destructio ma direct loss to the farm
ers' pocketbooks," asserts Regional
Forester Joseph c. Kircher of the U.
S. Forest Service.
Blame for this annual catastrophe
is directed largely at two human
sources First, carelessncss with fire
in the forest is credited with a heavy
toll. Warming fires, matches, cigar
cites, and field clearings are prin-
cipally responsible for these fires.
However, the greatest menace to
southern forests is the irresponsible
woods burner. Laboring under the
illusion that woods burning is neceS-
Sary to control insects and raise cat
tie, this offender follows an age old
custom of "greening the wood"
Often not landowner himself, he
has little regard for the property OF
others.
Discouraging as this report may
seem, the results obtained through
organized fire protection are indeed
encouraging The area burned over
on forest land under state or federal
protection has been reduced to an
average of about 2 percent Of the
protected area. On unprotected areas
as much as so to rs percent may be
damaged each year. Thus organized
fire protection is proving an impor-
tant factor in the battle being Waged
by conservation forces.
Aroused public opinion is the most
needed weapon in combating these
man-caused fires, for they can only
be prevented by .curbing the careless
fire user and dealing firmly with the
criminal fire setter. Sound economic
policy demands that this power be
exerted and that the brand of the
woods burner be extinguished The
South cannot afford to let the woods
burner retard economic progress.

OND-HALF
Bv uLRIc cwYNN, JR.

With the second-half of the
Monroe County Baseball League
beginning tomorrow at Trumbo
Field, managers of the Conchs
and Trojans, Blue Sox and Pr
rates are relying on their star
twirlers to win their first game of
this new series.
Interest centers on play of the
Conchs and Trojans, winners of
first and second place honors, re-
Spectively, in the first-half of the
schedule. On the mound for the
Conchs will be Joe Casa, just re-
turned from Miami, where he
pitched a series of games for the
Merrill-Stevens club, with Cyril
Grandpa" Griffin behind the
plate. Wickers will do the twirl-
ing for the Trojans with Joe Ma
varro on the receiving end.
In the first game, Manager
Caraballo of the Blue Sox is pin
ming his hopes of victory on
Guiro Diaz, with Alberto Rod
riguez doing the catching. For
the Pirates, Malgrat will do the
pitching and Puby Carbonell the
backstopping.

champ, in Miami on Wednesday,
September 20, according to ar
engagements that have been made.
The writer communicated with
Pete Schall, secretary of the
Florida State League, in regards
to playing the local club and he
replied that we would have to
send in the names of all players
so that he could forward them to
President Branham of the Ma
tional Baseball Association to
give his consent to play the state
champions This advice was
turned over to Roy Hamlin, mana
ger of Key West Conchs, and he
made all the necessary arrange
cents. And SO it is agreed that
the locals will play the Sanford
Lookouts.
Remember, the upstaters are
paid players and the ConchS are
just amateurs who play for the
love of the game.
Alexander, manager and first
baseman of the Lookouts, won
the batting crown in the Ameri-
can League in 1882. Sid Hudson,
pitcher, will report to Washington
Senators for a tryout next season.
Lookouts have averaged .285
in hitting as a club, and Conchs
are well over 800.
Casa or Bethel, should they be
right, will give the Lookouts
"a great fight.
