Commercial fisheries. however. is an entirely different matter. II is first in Che economic lie Of the Ter ritory. The major portion Of the residents Of Alaska are dependent on fisheries for a livelihood. Fisher les is a wasting industry. not consistently growing industry such as game and fur which need con- stant watching. The fish come sometimes in hordes as they did last year contrary to all predie- tions. and must be taken when they arrive or they are wasted if not taken in sufficient quantities to keep them from clogging streams of the spawning grounds Typical example was 1946. Just as the heavy run same. the fish bureau closed the season. Result was that millions Of salmon which should have been put in tns can i3mmed the streams and were an economic loss. The same thing will happen in many places this fall. and this has been done in the name of what the Fish and Wild1Iie Service likes to call conservation. 4 better name for il is rank waste.
 No one Is going to suggest that enforcement Of regulations in fish cries should be eliminated. But en- f0reement as a sole means Of con serYation is the wrong shoe for fisheries control Only God knows where the salmon go when they leave the streams of Alaska. all though the fisheries expert probab- ly will challenge that statement and look up a graph on it. Never theless. it is an established fact. and fisheries mus1 he handled on that basis In other words. when the salmon return. their control is matter of acute judgment. not just arresting a bunch of fishermen II requires men who. from long ex- perience. can judge fish when they see them. That is ~-nere the fish cries bureau has been Woefully lack ing for many years. l. has been re- lying on laboratory experts instead of men who know fish. Apparently. the policy is continuing--arrests first. judging the fish run second. And il doesn't work. as the record of this year of 1922 will reveal
 Prime Minister CnurehilIs fam ous phrase. too little and too late" aptly applies to the fisheries divis- ion of the [. s. Fish and Wildlife Service. It's the same every year; some years worse than others, like 1942.

ME. CROUCH COMES WITH roo LITTLE. roo LATE

After a good many years of var ious kinds Of management by the old Bureau of Fisheries, much Of it not good, the Alaska fishing indus try the last year or so has been looking forward to what il was led 10 believe would be a correction of the errors of a past and new deal" for the fisheries. The old Bur eau had been boosted out of the De- partment of Commerce, and, wisely enough. had been made a division of the |. s. Fish ana Wildlife Ser vice. a new bureau created by con- solidation of fisheries from the Commerce Department and the Bio logical Survey. which included the Alaska Game Commission, from the Department of Agriculture. The new combined bureau was placed under the Department of Interior and pr. Ira N. Gabrielson, who has been head of the Biological Survey, was placed in charge as Director.
 The move was looked upon with considerable favor generally with exception, perhaps, of those en- ployees of old commerce fisheries who lost out in the shuffle.
 First trial of the new deal in fishery management came last year and with it to Alaska waters came the greatest run of fish in Alaska history. A six-year-oia child playing with a choo-choo on top of Mt. Me- Kinley could have managed fisher ies in that banner year Of 194l. There were so many fish that about the only matter or management herewith was managing to catch them fast enough and put them In a can. That run, incidentally, was contrary to all expectations of the scientists and experts of the fisher ies bureau and they've been sweat ing over their charts and graphs ever since trying to explain it. Meanwhile, their co-workers have been managing, some call it mis- managing, fisheries in this lean year of 1942. To be real charitable about it, the management has been no improvement on the old bureau which was swallowed up in the Fish and Wildlife Service. AS the fisher men and packers put away their gear in central Southeast Alaska five will get you ten along fish TOW that it's the worst yet. There is con- siderable point to this sentiment,

 September 21

Unless otherwise informed, Wran- gels young people will start back to school Monday. Sept. 2l. The opening date vas postponed this year to accommodate the fishing industry which so largely supports the schools in Alaska. However. with no extension in the season, the necessity for thus delaying the school term no longer exists and if il is at all possible, the Board hopes 10 open school a week or pos sibly just a few days earlier.
 Teachers were advised last Spring not to take the last available sail ing date because of the irregular steamer service and. if the staff is complete before the 2Ist, notice of an earlier opening will be posted and the information passed along

At the present moment this
