Men In Navy Prefer Mail, Books,
Watches, Pipes And Pens AS Gifts

Men serving at sea with the Unit
ed States Navy prefer as gifts such
items as letters giving local news,
photographs, snapshots, newspaper
clippings, canned luxury foods, books,
service watches, pipes, pens, etc, ac-
cording to report released by the
Navy and based on survey among
men in the service.
What they positively don't want
are cakes, soft candies or cookies
which arrive as crumbs or covered
with mold; cigarets and fancy toilet
kits, the survey showed.
Canned luxury foods, which they
prefer, include olives, nuts, sardines,

the cost of rearing a raccoon for
release in the open is $1243 each as
against the prewar cost of $3.50.
Last year our club was instrumental
in having around 30 coon released
near Bluffton. That's S402.90 worth,
men!
Natural coon den trees should be
saved and the department will
furnish free upon request a sign to
be tackled to the tree. "More coon
can be provided in the wild thru
providing suitable habitat than thru
artificial restocking, commissioner
Don Waters declares.

etc., and other items in their favor
are writing cases or portfolios, en-
graved Identification tags, waterproof
wallets and cigaret lighters.
Ships and shore stations have a
plentiful supply of soap, shaving
creams, shaving kits, sewing kits,
hair tonic, shampoo, lotions, cigarets,
candy, chewing gum, and other per-
sonal items which can be easily OBJ
tained at prices less than the sender
would have to pay.
Above everything, the wisest plan
is to ask a Navy man what he wants
for gift, and to assure it reaching
him it should be wrapped securely
and addressed correctly.

Fish Order Delayed

Recent correspondence from Rob-
ert Shortliff states that we will be
unable to get the balance of our fish
order placed early this spring. The
balance of the order which will come
from a commercial fish company at
Lake Erie will possibly be delivered
this fall. The remainder of the order
calls for truck load of crappies
and a truck load of perch. The fish
will be released in the Buckeye
quarry.
A statement of delivery made in
April shows that $500 crappies, Al
black bass, "a rock bass, $50 channel
catfish were delivered and released
in the Buckeye and Water Works
quarries. The bulk of the fish were
placed in the Buckeye and all fish
released were of large size.

Hunting and Fishing
Poem written by ]. ]. Luginbuhl,
Beaverdam, for the Sportsmen's Club
Column

Poem written by j. J. Luglnbuhl,
Beaverdam, for the Sportsmen's Club
Column
When days work is done and there
is a glorious sun
Go hunting and fishing and have a
little fun.
Worms, poles, grasshoppers, gun you
must take
To hunt or fish along Riley creek
or Buckeye lake.
After fishing an hour or so,
You wonder where the domesticated
fish did go.
I'll be dog-gone if | can see where
they did escape
Unless there is a hole in the bottom
of the lake.
Now / still think it is the twist of
your mouth
When you catch a fish or kill a
grouse.
The fish you hook and lose we think
are always bigger
And nice cock bird got away
fumbling for that gosh-darn
trigger.
You can always tell by a persons
expression
Whether they have a bird, rabbit or
fish long enough in their posses
sion.
Then leaving field or pond quite late
Thinking you have the wrong kind
of dog, or the wrong kind of
bait.
Now please give the Sportsmen's
club a break
Shut your mouth like a clam, buy a
chicken, rabbit, or halibut steak.
But when days work is done and
there is blue sky and glorious
Pick up your bait, rod, or gun and
have a little fun.

often likened to tiny pincushions.
Both the beetles and grubs feed
mostly on the underside Of the
leaves, leaving only q lacework pat

blossoms and eat holes in the pods.
Rotenone dusts or sprays are the
best materials for controlling the
bean beetle as well as most other
garden pests. They kill both the
beetles and grubs. and are safe to
use at any time. Pyrethrum sprays
and dusts are also safe and fairly
effective. Cryolite, relatively new as
a garden insecticide, is effective. It
is only slightly poisonous and can be
used safely even after the pods form
If the beans are washed before use.
Calcium arsenate and lead arsenate
are not recommended as they are
likely to 'burn'' the bean leaves
and are more poisonous.

Police Are 10 Take Up SIeds
On Streets Out OF Limits
When Kids Caught (oasiing

Complaints have been received at
Police Headquarters that children,
coasting on the streets, are imperil-
ing both life and limb. The chill
dren take out their sleds and coast
on main streets and side streets and
pedestrians, taken unawares by
shouts of look out" clear the
track" have to jump for safety.
Sometimes they jump in time, other
times they get bumped.
Also, autoists have complained
about kids coasting anyplace.
The police are now going to take
up sleds of youngsters found coast
ing on any streets except Gold
Street and East Ninth street These
two streets have been set aside for
coasting, red lights have been
strung and autoists, before crossing,
make certain the streets are clear.
So youngsters and grownup kids
are warned by the police to do their
coasting on the designated streets or
sleds will be confiscated and not
turned back until the coasting sea-
son is over - maybe not then. Par
ents are urged to acquaint their
children with the coasting regula-
lions.

Dressed in blue rather than the
traditional red, sans whiskers, and
armed with a lengthy list instead
of a pack on his back, the distin-
guished visitors arrival went I'M

Showing no interest in Juneau's

possible for the people of Alaska to
prepare themselves in two weeks to
make an effective and successful
fight against this attempt to deliver
a mortal blow to the Territory. To
do this job effectively would require
the hiring of economists, statistic
ians and Investigators as well as of
legal counsel.
Moreover, it can be pointed out
that any decision made now would
be based on abnormal and temper
airy conditions. Everyone is famil-
lar with port congestion, the un-
certainities of sailing dates, the I'M
usual demands incidental to demo-
bilization, the high insurance cost for
seamen, officers and ships which
will be reflected in any measure of
recent operational costs, and other
factors which due to wartime con-
ditions cannot be considered typical
of future peace time operation.
Il am therefor requesting the
people of Alaska to join my emphatic
protest to the U. S. Maritime Com
against the unwarranted and
unjustified haste in ordering this
hearing. 1 believe it should be post
poned for at least six months and
that we should meanwhile seek a
Congressional investigation of the
whole situation. There were enough
of Congress in the Terri
tory last summer who are aware of
and interested in our problems to
make this, hope, matter for their
concern Unfortunately Alaska still
being a territory has not the poll
teal power to fight this kind OF as
sault effectively. We must rely on
the help of both the Department of
the Interior to which I am likewise
and of the Congress which
really could remedy this situation .
