ASTORIA, Ore, Dec. 13. (UP)-
The Columbia River fishing indus
try was in disagreement to-day over
proposals to give the Oregon Fish
commission greater power to set
dates for seasons which are now
rigidly fixed by statute.
Fishermen, packers, Indians from
the Dallas area and representatives
of the Oregon and Washington
fish commissions attended the meet
ing Tuesday and decided to convene
again before the 194l Oregon legis-
lature meets.
Oregon commission members and
spokeslnen for the fishermen urged
greater authority for the commits
sion, but packers. represented by
James Cellars of the Columbia
River Packers association. were
hesitant.
Lloyd Royal biologist for the
Washington Fisheries bureau. saio
that unless there is better regu-
latL3n of Columbia river fisheries
for conservation. the industry will
eventually cease to exist. John
Veateh, chairman Of the Oregon
commission, said the seasons shoulG
be more flexible ana that greater
authority was necessary before Ore

in compliance with the wishes Of

he duke was flying to an undis-

official business. At the request OF
the State Department, he said, he
could not furnish any details of

The announcement was made
soon after reports were published
that the duke would be given the
opportunity OF accepting or reject
ing the post Of British ambassador

Rotary Governor in Address Here
Urges Higher Ethics in Business
As important in International View

alize and practice it, the more we
viii get out of life, OF worthwhile
things
He preached new, liberal philos-
ophy by advocating the discussion
OF controversial issues at Rotary
meetings. Precepts heretofore have
strongly advised against such sub
jects on grounds that they cause
internal dissension.
Life is made up of controversial
issues" Reilly argued. we must
learn TO weigh them logically and
in civilized manner. The very abil-
ity TO discuss ntelligently and re-
main friends with someone with
whom we disagree is an every day
necessity and I heartily endorse such
practices being nurtured in Rotary"
The current efforts of the United
States to seal relations with Central
and South America as a barrier
against war offers Rotary a real
chance to perform a material and
important new service. Reilly stress
ed.
There are many related Rotary
clubs throughout the rest of the
Western Hemisphere, he pointed out,
and members of clubs in this coun-
try should Go all possible to estab-
lish and develop friendly relations
with Rotarians in sister western re-
publics.
The national president is a Braz-
iIian and this offers US a fine oppor-
tunity to make a better friend Of
Brazil" Reilly said.

The spirit Of Rotary. which is
the spirit Of service, cooperation
frienoliness and the perSonification
of the higher ethics of business and

A Mothers letter to Santa
Dear Santa:
I'm the mother of six lads and
lasSies and l feel like the quaint
old lady who lived in the queer old
shoe.
And YOU see l get quite weary.
As every mothers said,
And I'm glad when day is ended
So can tuck them all in bed.
OF course you know. Dear Santa,
They're good as children go
And you really mustn't miss them,
That wouldn't dc, YOU know.
So bring them all, dear Santa,
The things they like the best,
But all want. sir, if YOU please,
Is just chance to rest.
Jovial ! old Santa thumbed on
through a huge pile of letters at his
El Centro headquarters in the cham
Der of commerce building, letters
from hundreds of boys and girls IL
all parts of Imperial Valley.
I can sympathize with that I'M
perial mother" Santa chuckled, but
here's a good one from an El Centre
youngster
e. I am only three years old,
but 1 want to know why I never see
you on Christmas night. have a
whole lot of questions to ask YOU.
There were many other letters,
some filled with good cheer and
happiness. a confidence they would
receive the presents they asked.
There were others, though, that re-
Elected tragedy. fear and appeal.
The war in Europe played its part
in phrasing the letters from some
Youngsters. One Imperial boy wrote:
And l want a tommie gun,
a show gun. machine gun, an AM
erican flag. two Gene Autry guns.
One youngster in El Centre was
worried whether Santa could enter
his house. He advised Santa:
I don't think you can get down
our chimney, but please leave ball
a wagon and a train, anyway :"
One child was concerned because
many refugee children have arrived
in America. She wrote:
I would like many other
things. but know there are many
more children III our country this
Christmas since the war. And my
mother says we must not ask for
too much so there will be enough
toys for all the little boys and girls
away from their parents y
Many children expressed their
love for Santa in closing their let
ters in this manner:
I am yours as ever.
-. love you Santa, 1 am glad
you are here
Thank you very much, ]
love you
Another little girl was concerned
because Santa didn't seem to get
any presents. She said:
Everybody forgets you, but hope
they don't this year, so you will get
loads Of nice presents
A grandmother wrote one letter
for her grandchildren in which she
told Santa:
please my little grandcnlldren
want the following things. I hope
you can read this letter Bobie ask
me to be sure spell them words
good .
One lad started his letter to Santa
this way:
I am Jim Rhodes and l write
left handed. I hope that doesn't
make any difference
Another 7-year old youngster sent
this letter so Santa:
please forget my first letter
Daddy got me a used bicycle last
week. Please give some other girl
the toys 1 was to get
