Remember Pearl Harbor

without a doubt Ed Shave, the
popular outdoor writer on the Twin
City newspapers, has the inside track
for the appointment Of conservation
commissioner to replace DR.. Str1lnk
who has resigned. Those who know
the popular Ed feel that he would be
about right for the important place
and also feel that he is Intellectually
endowed with all the attributes to
make a first class commissioner.
There is some fear felt, however,
that the appointment would end this
popularity and that the genial Ed win
wind up behind the eight bail just as
have commissioners before him on ac-
count Of the diversified interests Of the
fish and game, the mines and mining
and the forestry departments in
charge Of the commissioner. This was
the case with DR.. Strunk, who during
his regime administered the affairs Of
each Of these divisions with dignity
and devoid Of personalities, with the
assistance Of men chosen as sub-heads
for each department.
The larger part Of dissention wit
DR.. Strunk occurred in the fish and
game department, where laws are en-
tirely unsatisfactory to many in the
fish and game country. In fact game
laws are very unsatisfactory to many
people in any section of the state and
all laws do not fit m all sections. The

tives from every part Of the state and

A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Tin cans play most important part
in the tin and steel war situation, and
the discarded cans are mighty ef-
fort in the winning of the war. 1t
must be admitted that preparing the
cans for salvage IS additional work for
housewives but it is worth it. The
method of preparing the cans has
been given in these columns several
times and much tin and scrap steel
is being saved by those patriotic
enough to do little extra work.

Arthur w. Whiteside, chief of the
Office of Civilian Requirements,
has announced that the program of
the government aims at the full
utilization of all facilities set free
as a result of cutbacks in the war
program for pressing essential CT
william needs wherever facilities and
manpower are becoming available.
He declared that copper definitely
win be available in fair quantities
for essential needs, and aluminium
will be released in the near future.
ALLEGATION of copper for Deem
Der occurred as expected, and pro-
ducers were busy during the last
week in earmarking metal for De-
cember shipment Sellers believe
that the tonnages of copper asked
for TO cover this months need will
be smaller than in recent months.
This is attributed to the natural
tendency of fabricators to cut down
on their year-end inventories.
Leo T. Crowley, foreign economic
administrator, announced that Rus
STA obtained 100000 tons of non
ferrous metals from this country
up to the end of September under
