stage, wheat prices today reached
highs unequaled here since April 13.
Corn was up cent to tops for the

D0UGLASB0Y MEETS DEATH,
 SEA TRAGEDY
Couple AfIoat 19 Hours in StOrm-MeIvin Shud-
 shift Dies

Melvin Shudshift, IS = year olo Douglas youth, lost his life, ano Norman Rustad, Douglas resident and captain of the Juneau baseball team was suffering from exposure today as a result of 19-hour battle with the sea in Lynn Canal near the Shelter Island rocks after their small boat had been capsized by storm.
 The tragedy climaxed a fishing trip which started Tuesday after noon when the two left Tee Har- Dor in their 18-foot open boat. Fishing was good and they had caught a large amount of fish. Apparently while they were. on their way back Wednesday evening, the storm came up.
 Boat Capsized
 They were forced to bail as high waves broke over the boat and had started to throw their fish over board to tighten the craft when large wave swamped the vessel, throwing both of them into the water.
 They clambered back onto the bottom of the upturned boat and from then n were buffeted by the waves for more than 19 hours be- fore belng sighted by the crew of the Westward.
 The boat had capsized Wednes- day evening and the two were forced to stay awake all of that night as they struggled to keep from being swept off in the water. Rustad said that he asked the boy how he was from time to time, and that he had replied "Okay."
 When dawn came, the weather had turned colder and at about 8 o'clock that morning, his younger companion slipped overheard. Ru- stad said that he pulled him back onto the boat and ripped the edge off of a tarpaulin with which he tied the boy to himself.
 They were found this way by the Westward which picked them up and brought them into Tee Harbor yesterday afternoon.
 Search Was Made
 In the meantime, a searching party headed by Arne Shudshift, he boys father, had taken a boat tt Tee Harbor and started out 10 ook for the missing fishermen. Not until MT. Shudshift returned ate last night did he learn of he tragedy. Melvin is survived by his father md mother, and a brother, Ken leth, IT, all of Douglas. With the beginning of the fall term, he would have been sophomore )n Douglas High School The body is tt the Charles w. Carter Mortu- try, pending funeral arrangements which will be announced later.

NEED GRADUATE NURSES NOW ON
 RESERVE LISTS
All Registered Nurses Ask ed 10 Enroll for Reserve
 in Armed Forces

Twenty-two Alaskan nurses are now enrolled in the Red Cross First Reserve and 54 in the Sec ond Reserve, making a total of 76 today by Mary K. Cauthorne, Spe- cial Representative of the Ameri- can Red Cross Nursing Service
 Nurse enrolment is on a volun- tary basis, planned to supply and distribute nurses on a wartime basis to the Army and Navy. Nurses eligible for enrolment in the First Reserve must be graduates, regis tered, unmc ried and under forty.
 The Second Reserve is made up of married nurses and nurses over the age of forty. Among nurses listed who may be deferred at this time if essential in their present positions are those employed in public health agencies as admins traitors, teachers and supervisors and staff nures for maintaining civilian health services in any given community.
 Advisory Committee
 A Territorial Advisory ConImittee has been formed and local nurses are advised to make direct appii- cation to the representative in their area for Red Cross applica- tion forms. Committee members now serving in the Territory are Mrs. Andrew Gunderson, Ketchi- kan, Miss Catherine Bastress, Wrangell, Mrs. Dorothy Brownell, Sitka, Mrs. Stilwell, Seward, Miss Dorothy Whitney, Anchorage, Miss Florence Woods, Seldovia, Mrs. Anne Whalley, Kodiak, Mrs. LeRoy Flora, Palmer, Mrs. Baker, Nome, and Mrs. Huber, Fairbanks.
 A national quota of 43,00O nurses to be enrolled by September l has been set by the American Red Cross, recruiting agency for the Armed Forces. By June 30, after four months of intensive effort, only $500 nurses had been added to the national roster. In order to meet the quota by September, 36,000 nurses should have been en- rolled. The actual enrolment dur ing the last two months will be available at later date.
 Need Is Great
 It is expected that there will be national average of 5000 nurses assigned monthly to the Army and Navy for the next several months. 1 This means not only the enrolling )f all nurses eligible for the First Reserve, but persuading those who are already enrolled to serve.
 An increased enrolment is an- 'icipated due to the fact that the oase pay for nurses entering the Army or Navy Nurse Corps has been increased to 800 month and maintenance. Nurses are commits stoned when accepted for service with the Armed Forces, their rank being dependent on their responsi- oilities.
 Second Reserve nurses, over 40 ears of age, or married but still lctive, are eligible for all types of ervice except military duty and Ire urgently requested to enroll with the American Red Cross.
