30, 900 BARRELS OF HERRING TO BE PUT UP IN S. E.
 ALASKA THIS YEAR

A cooperative fishing agreement has been entered into between the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Southeastern Alaska herring opera tors, according to Charles E. Jack son, Assistant Director This arr engagement will permit the operation of one reduction plant for limited quota of fish in order to sample the abundance of herring in this area.
 Accordingly, the herring fishery regulations applicable to Southeast ern Alaska were modified on August 27 by supplemental order promul- gated by Acting Secretary of the h. terior Wirtz. Under the new regu- lations 30,000 barrels of herring may be taken commercially in ad- dition to the catch for bait, but the catch in the waters along the west and southeast coasts of Baran- of Island from Point Kakul to Cape Ommaney and Cape Ommaney to Port Armstrong this year cannot exceed the catch in all other parts of the Southeastern Alaska Area.

DRAFT BILL
 HITS HURDLE;
 SURE TO PASS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6-Rudely jolted by their temporary failure to block postponement of the draft bill, House conscription leaders today rallied their forces to stave off more moves for modification of the Burke Wadsworth compulsory military ser vice bill
 Unexpected reversal occurred late yesterday when the House voted 185 to 155 to defer inauguration of con scription for 60 days while an eff fort is made to obtain 100000 re- cruits for the army by one year enlistments. Despite the setback for portions of the bill, it is said the measure is in no danger of eventual defeat and opponents did not dispute this.
 Under the amendments, if a re- cruiting campaign is unsuccessful the draft would become effective to enlist the remainder needed for the 100000 quota

 Wrecked Boat

Pastor and Mrs. H. L. Wood ar rived in Wrangell Thursday after noon on the Seventh-day Adventist mission boat, Messenger. Pastor Wood is returning from his annual welfare trip among the isolated peo- pie of the west coast of southeastern Alaska. He had with him on this trip. Dr. A. W. Petersohn, of Battle Creek. Mich. and Mr and Mrs Stewart Emery. Mrs Emery is a trained nurse
 pr. Petersohn yame to visit Alas ka and was invited to go on this tour with Pastor Wood. so the roc tor volunteered his services for the trip. Pastor Wood reports an un- usual amount of medical relief work done.
 Highlght of the trip. according lo Pastor Wood was a dramatic rescue of four fishermen from the seine boat, the Marie of Ketchikan. Pastor Wood was making the trip between Waterfall to Ketchikan, on Wednesday, the day of the big blow during which many fishing boats were wrecked. In Cordoya Strait he sighted a man on a rock waving frantically for help. The "Messen- ger" found two stranded fishermen, Carl Webster and lens Jorgens, from the Marie" which had engine trouble and was drifting toward the rocks at Farallon Bay. These two had taken a skiff and tried to go to Hydaburg for help, but were driven on the rock, from which the Messenger" rescued them. They had been without food since the day before.
 When Pastor Wood learned of the plight of the other two men and the Marie he rushed to help them. Two men left on board the stranded boat had thrown out three anchors, but the boat was still drifting toward the rocks. They were thrown a line, and Pastor Wood lowed the helpless vesesl to Hydaburg. While enroute, Mrs. Wood fed the hungry seamen.
 Pastor Wood will remain in Wrangell over the week end, and go on to Juneau the first of the week. He will conduct baptismal service while here.

It doesn't take good news long to travel fast, however and by the time the reception was held at the future Wellons' home, immediately after the ceremony, the house was filled with friends bring ing their good wishes to the happy couple.
 Mrs. Wellons, for the wedding ceremony, wore an attractive gray street dress with bright red acces- sories and wore a corsage of red carnations. The couple was attended by MT. and Mrs. Walter Tucker.
 Mr Wellons has lived in Wrangell the past nine years. He is licensed engineer and is in charge of Wran- gell's City Light plant. He is the son of MT and Mrs. c. w. Wellons of Seattle.
