RIVER, DRYD0Ck
 FOR TIE BOXER


 At.the little village of Bethel on the Kuskokwim River a strange ship repair job vii be done this winter. It is the installation of a new pro- pellor on the U. s. riiotorship Boxer of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, in a drydock formed of ice.
 The Boxer is moored in a slough at Bethel with long mooring lines running to the shore. When the slough is frozen solid, men with axes will chop the ice around the stern of the vessel and the broken propeller will be removed and new one installed.
 The, new propeller will be shipped be boat to Seward, then by rail to Anchorage and then by plane to Bethel.
 The Boxer was disabled in the Kuskokwim in early October and will spend the winter locked in the ice at Bethel.

WASHINGTON-The big differ ence between the draft army of l940 and the draft army of 19l7-l8 is about 100000 men.
 And what a whale of differ ence 3,Oo0,000 men make!
 In World War days, the Army had to take on more than it could handle. For while they pushed a million men a month through the training camps.
 Naturally there were 90-day- wonder shayetails who'd march companies right off cliffs if the sergeant didn't stop them. Sani- tation was not all that could be desired Camp streets often were seas of mud And the Army was handling weapons many of its of- ficers didn't understand
 Meant To Stop It
 There's that classic about the infantry officer who so deplorcd the death rate in forced airplane landings that he posted this bull letin on a Texas air field;
 Effective this date, there will
 be no more forced landings."
 Shoes and uniforms seldom fit well in 1917. Haste was the reason for all this. We were arming too fast, training men too fast.
 This time, the medical corps says it is ready to cope with all preventable epidemics. The doc tors remember the tragedy of the 1918 flu epidemic. Uniforms have been modified for easy fitting. Every camp will have shoe fit- ting machine Air officers will give orders to air troops.
 The Army's punch card system is probably the outstanding dif- ference. Under it men will give their trades, hobbies, preferences, hopes. And they'll be given jobs that fit them when possible. (More about this in another article)
 The Army hopes Private Misfit will not haunt his officers as he did in 1918.
 One day World War command ing officer got requisition for all expert automobile mechanics in his camp. He sent for Private Misfit.
 What did you do before you got in the Army?"
 "Engraver, sir"
 You must be mistaken said the exasperated commander. Think! Weren't you an automobile me- chanic?'
 Well, sir, I don't
 Just what I thought Pack up your duds and report to head quarters as an expert automobile mechanicl"
 Went Happen Again
 That won't happen again. un- less the punch card machine slips cog.
 And P.S., Nom and Dad: The Army says you can visit the train- ing camps most any time to set for yourself how all this is work ing out. But if there's something special about your son the army ought to know, please take it ur with the draft board BEFORE he gets in. It'll be ever so much easier to straighten out.

HEARINGS RE0pENED p
 ON SALMON
Seiners Want Increase in Size of Boats -Freer
 Use of Seines

SEATTLE. Nov. 25.-The Canned Salmon Industry of Alaska has rec commended more flexible regulations of salmon fisheries in the Territory as hearings opened here today before Dr. Ira Gabrielson, Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
 Spokesmen of the Alaska Fisher mems Union generally concurred in the industrys recommendation while representative of the United Fishermens Union of the Pacific, composed mostly of purse seiners said in districts where fish boats are limited to fifty feet in length, the limit should be changed to 35 net registered tons.
 Union View
 Henry Barbarovich. of the United Fishermen's Union, said the change will move fishing offshore and im- prove the quality of fish caught, provide larger and safer boats and improve accommodations for fish, ermen.
 Babarovich also recommended changes in methods of measuring mesh of nets, taking into consid- eration shrinkage each year, elim- ination of maximum depths for purse seine gear, establishment of minimum distance of two miles between all fish traps and changes in methods of measuring purse seineS.
 Arnold Advocations
 w. c. Arnold, canned salmon spokesman, advocated along with other things, the elimination of the additional weekly closed fishing periods and changes in the regu- lations for closing the season.
 Arnold urged that Fish and Wild life Service representative on the ground be given freer rein in de- termining the final seasonal clos ing date
 On the matter of hours, Arnold SeilQ bliC OO-llOQt WC(hly S1OoCd RCA iod of last year, increased from 36 hours, did not serve the purpose of conservation it is intended to serve, but instead the same num- Der of fish are taken out in five days instead of six, increasing costs of operation without conserving the run.
 Other Contentious Arnold added this regulation did not benefit the use of mobile gear as anticipated and contended that Southeast Alaska and the Prince William Sound districts should be returned to 36-hour weekly closed period
 Another recommendation from Ar hold is that the regulation which requires spillers of traps to be lifted within four feet of the surface with in 36 hours after the close of the season be eliminated, and urged that this law be revised to provide that fish traps be made totally ineffective for fishing.
 The attorney held also that clos ing hours and dates should be left more to the discretion of re- sponsible agents of the Fisheries Service on the scene in order that the closure shall more nearly be based on the suggested formulation of local advisory groups composed of operators, fishermen and the Fish and Wildlife Service.
