All Members Expert
HE typical squad numbers from fifteen
to twenty persons and whenever rig answers
a call, from two to ten members go with it
(some of whom may follow in their own cars).
All these men hold Red Cross cards testifying
that they have passed the standard and ad-
vanced courses in first aid. Each unit has
from one to three physicians in an advisory
capacity, giving lectures and instructions.
Through these talks, together with weekly
meetings and drills, the fellows keep we'll
above par in their technique. And when you
consider that a typical squad responds to
about 200 emergency calls year, it is obvious
that they get plenty of practice.
Just how good they are was demonstrated
when one squad, responding to a telephone
call, was met at the end of the highway near
Barnegat Inlet by a civilian who said, "Is
there doctor with you? We just want
doctor to give permission to move the body.
The guy is dead"
There was no physician on the rig But
since it was drowning case, the boys decided
to go on anyhow. The body was still on the
mud flats, eight miles across the sand dunes
from the highway, so they loaded their in

Because some woodman spared that

day of last week with an angry bull
just daring him to come down.
Mr.. Carter, guide at the Knight

making a short cut across field en-
route to the highway on his way to
Rock Hall. The bull APPARENTLY didn't
like him 'and his boots) much so the
chase started. He headed for the near

just made it. The two hour wait in
the tree until the owner of the bull
came to his rescue was right bad but
not so bad as the bull.

DUCK DEADLINE

Saturday night at o'clock the Big Berthas will
be silenced and truce declared for the next 10
months in which has seen many a feather
loosed in the wind around Alaska during the past
several weeks
The date of course, every Alaska sportsman
knows, is the end of duck hunting for another year.
This year, not many of the gun toters who seri-
about their shooting will have complaints about
the scarcity of birds The Alaska Game Commits
sion believes new high mark in the number of
ducks killed will be set for the second consecutive
year eclipsing the high mark of 10000 birds esti-
mated killed by duck hunters of the Territory last
year
There is a good reason why hunters are coming
home with better bags of birds these years than a
few years ago. Even though gunsmen take
to the fields each year Alaska's population in
creases, the past few there have been more
ducks to shoot at by actual count.
The officials of the u S. Fish and Wildlife Serv-
ice credit both conservation and preservation for
this duck increase Five years ago, they declare,
fall count Of ducks in the States showed about
100000. With enormous annual kill of the
birds by the army Of hunters taking the field each
year, the situation critical Last year alone,
for instance shotgun enthusiasts the States blast
ed estimated 100000 quackers of the air.
So the game protectors lowered bag limits and
shortened seasons for shooting much to the dis
gruntement of hunters They did something else
however, setting aside reservations around feed
ing places and wintering grounds throughout the
States 1t in these spots where the ducks and
geese habitually sit down for food or spend their
winters that the heaviest toll was being taken they
found
The result is pretty significant. Last year the
estimate of duck counters 100000 of the birds
or just double the number estimated five years ago

LOoPHoLE FOR JAPs

That freezing" order impound-
ing Japanese funds isn't so tough
as authorities thought it was.
It's not being advertised, but a
loophole has just been discovered
by means of which Jap agents
have been quietly obtaining large
quantities of desperately needed
strategic raw materials in South
America.
This is the way they work it:
A Japanese agent enters into a
contract with a South American
company for an exchange" Of
Japanese manufactured goods for
raw materials. On the surface the
deal is a straightforward barter
transaction.
But that's only the coyer-up.
To guarantee the delivery of the
promised manufactured goods, the
Jap agent deposits an irrevocable
letter of credit payable to the South
American buyer with a New York
bank. This sum is equal to the
amount due for the raw materials.
Then after these supplies are
shipped. the JapS default on their

OF course the Treasury cant make any prom

Truth is only about 20 percent of American
wage earners today employed in defense indus

pay boosts and allowing for few five percent pay
boosts in non-defense industries, it remains that

Goal of the game officials is national flight Of

Alaska than in either the third second divisions

probably more duck hunters in the field in South
east Alaska than in any other section.
