CHAMBER CONTINUES
 SUPPORT FOR A ROUTE

Wrangell Chamber of Commerce at it's regular luncheon meeting this week in the Civic Center, went on record to continue it's previous sup port for the A route highway to AL aska, the one nearest tthe coast. The action was taken in rejecting the re- quest of the Seattle Chamber to sup port B route as a compromise road. The highway committee in its re- port revealed that the route con- nection sought by the Seattle Cham Der with the present military high way amounts only to a connection for Seattle with the military road. All the money would be expended in building a road east in central Can ada to connect Seattle with the mil itary highway. Committee reported the connection would have no bear ing on real highway to Alaska and held Alaska interests would be best served by A route. Chamber adopted the report unanimously.
 Chamber added it's endorsement to the resolution of the Seattle Chamber asking a definite settle ment of ocean fishing limits, assur- ing protection for the Alaska fish run.
 Information that boats with 90- foot travis for bottom fishing were planning to come north next season was presented the Chamber. Cham Der voted to turn the information over to the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service. The information indicated the big travis might be injurious to Alaska fishing and Chamber cal- led atttentiOn of Fish and Wildlife to the fact that many fur ranehers are dependent on bottom fish for feed and that a clean-out of bottom fish would detrimental to the fur industry.
 Next meeting of the Chamber will be Dec. g at p. m. in the Fire Hall. This will be the last meeting of the year.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS in the Southwest Pacific-Japan probably will hold the remaining bulk of her battered, but still formidable, navy in reserve until Allied formations venture in force to within tthe 1900 mile wide stretch between her island lifelines, one running through Hon shu, Bonin, the Marianas, Truk and Rabaul and the other throgh Kyu- shu, Ryuku, Formosa, the Philip pines and Dutch New Guinea, it is believed here. Inside those lines AL lied seacraft would be liable to all most continuous attack by Jap sub marines and land based planes Such a move could somewhat restore her fleet balance
 Allied figures list some $40 Jap ships sunk or damaged and this to- tai is two hundred more than Japan is known to have had at the time of Pearl HarbOr and the beginning Of war with Japan.

Our faith in the essential spiritual qualities of man has been maintained and we still hold high our belief in the principles of liberty, equality and justice for all men everywhere.

SLEEPER SHARK" MARKET
 OPEN TO FISHERMEN

A letter to The Sentinel from J w. Mendenhall, Secretary of the U S. Fisheries Experimental COmmis- sion in Ketchikan gives valuable in. formation to fishermen concerning shark fishing. The letter follows:
 "As you no doubt are aware, the Fisheries Experimental Commission of Alaska is interested in promoting and developing the fishery resources of the Territory.
 Tn this regard we wish to point out that an appreciable amount oi shark has already been produced in certain areas in Alaska and that there is ample opportunity for shark to be produced in your own area Sufficient shark fillets have been shipped to eastern markets from AL aska that it certainly is not an un- familiar item there. AppTeciable quantities of shark are also pro- duced in Seattle and Florida but the shark produced there Is of diff ferent species.
 This shark bears the conoh name of Alaskan Sleeper Shark It is our understanding that fishermen are wont to call this a mud shark and We wish to correct this misnOm- CT.
 "It has been found satisfactory to cut the shark into sections about 96 inches by 4x4 inches, avoiding the red striations, and to sharp freeze these sections. They are then tempered glazed and stored for shipment at about zero to plus five This fish must be well bled at sea or the meat will have threadlike flecks of blood in it. It alse must be well iced on the boats or else the freezer life is so shorten ed that it cannot be marketed.
 May we respectfully suggest that handling this item might not only prove a profitable enterprise for your fishing industry but also afford a contribution to the national food shortage"
