ALASKA SPRUCE PROGRAM TO END
 THIS SUMMER

KETCHIKAN-The Alaska spruce logging program is to be discontin- ued in July or August in accordance with orders of the War Production Board. it was learned this week from general manager Charles c. Burdick of the ASLP program.
 Mr Burdick is now at the logging operations on the west coast.
 Mir. Burdick said that the market situation for aircraft spruce Is not critical as the supply in sight ade- quately meets demands This is another encouraging sign in '. s. production for war purposes but not any indication that the was is nearly over-just that aircraft lum- Der has joined the list of other war materials which are being produced in quantities sufficient to meet current demands" he said.
 Accordingly, the War Produc- ten Board has ordered discontinu- ance of the ASLP upon completion of its present commitments te the WIPE. This will require several months of activity, but 1t is expect ed that falling will be completed in April and logging by July or August.
 "The high grade logs will con- tinue to be lowed to Puget Sound mills and the remainder of their products will be sold to local mills in Alaska" Air. Burdick said.

.escapement in tthe huge salmon runs presents a real problem to the Fish and Wndlife Service in Alas ka. At the Chignik River, they solve this problem with salmon-eount- ing weir, which must be ereetted each spring. aand torn down each fall. Building the weir is a yearly race against the rising waters of melting ice and snow. George Richer Jr. describes it in So The Salmon Can Be Counted.
