FRANK BEALS IS
 WRITTEN UP IN
 ARMY NEWSpApEE

More than a column of the Sep tember 20 issue of the new, but already famous, Kodiak Bear is de- voted to an interview and study of the work of Frank Beals, former deputy game warden in Juneau, but now refuge manager of the Aleu- tian Islands for the Fish and Wild life Services.
 Beals, now stationed in Kodiak. has an expanded area to cover, which includes the Alaska Penin- stila.
 According to the article, Beals laughingly referred to his title and commented that West of False Pass they call me just about anything. :"
 He remarked that soldiers were as good sportsmen as civilians, and ad- vocated the spreading of news of game laws. Beals commented that the explanation of game laws to people was of much more value than thousands of game wardens, be- cause the hunters then know the reasons for the laws.
