For the most part the governors

Michigan state official to observe:

Is to meet him."

For example, the wartime head
ache Of transportation. Michigan
wanted its guests to visit Detroit,
automobile capital of the world.
The committee struck upon the
happy idea of securing reservations
on a lake steamer from Detroit to
Mackinac Island. A good idea ex-
cept for one thing: No boat space
was available.
This hurdle was surmounted by
inducing an industrial firm to
switch its convention dates and to
surrender its cruise reservations.
The governors arrival at the con-
ference, being by waterway, offered
an opportunity for the first time
in years whereby governors could
visit and get acquainted prior to
opening of business sessions.
Detroit's part of the program was
performed with customary smart
ness, even to choice steaks and rare
Havana cigars. Henry Ford II was
host at luncheon at the Dearborn
Inn and tour Of Greenfield Vii
lage. He displayed new models of
Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln lines
a piece of good showmanship. Other
automobile manufacturers united to
honor the guests at the Detroit
Athletic Club.
Upon their arrival at Mackinac
Island, the guests were transported
by horse-drawn carriages through
the small business district, whose
buildings have been transformed
by white paint, up the parkway
leading to the Grand Hotel. The
hostelry had been freshly decorated
and hundreds Of red geraniums
were In bloom along the worlds
longest porch of a summer hotel.
Flags added a touch of moving
color.

Judge Alexander in a communication accompanying the report. sent to Wrangell city council, calls attention to these particular parts of the report and says in part:
 This report is being sent to you by me by direction of the Grand Jury, and your attention is partic- uIarly called to that part of their report having to do with laxity in the enforcement of the territorial liquor laws and lack of cooperation between federal. territorial and city officials in that respect.
 "The Grand Jury alec complains of open and apparently unrestrict- ed gambling which they say is be- ing carried on within this division and in which they urge greater cooperation in the enforcement of our laws.
 Particular attention is called to the violation of closing hours, sale Of liquor to minors, sale of liquor to habitual drunkards and the sale of liquor to individuals already under the influence of liquor"

 TO PEOPLE OF INTANGIBLE:
 April 4, 1945
 The 1915 fishing regulations hav- ing been made public, I believe that 2 few pertinent remarks by a fish clman who is affected by them, are in order. I believe that the local townspeople. who aso derive theid livelihood directly or indirectly non the fishing industry, should be heightened on the seriousness aI the trend 10 curtail the fishing .s.ason = this particular districe hy the F rh and Wildlife Service.
 We i hermen lal realize the i'm portadce of regulations that tend to conserve iuns of fish for the futul., and We are only too willing to co9psrate with the Fish and Wildlife Service on matters that ac- complish this purpose. However, l believe We are entitled to protest the new regulations for the follow ing reasons. d.
 To begin with, I feel that dis crimination it being shown against this particular district. The FWs claims that the run of king salmon for the southeastern district has shown a steady decline in recent wears, and that restrictions are nec- essary to build up this run. From the standpoint of the overall pie ture I do not argue this point. However, I cannot understand why the Stikine River district, whose run has not shown a serious decline should be singled out as the dis trict to be closed for the purpose of building up the run for all southeastern Alaska. When h e

question of closed period being ] necessary was brought up last spring by the FWs. we fishermen, the trollers and gillnetters together agreed to 25-day closed pediod for the sukine district in the month of June. when the run of spawn kings is at it's peak here. We felt that that should have been sufficient closure. But when the I1945 regulations came out with the entire spring season being closed in this district except for a 21-day period from May 10 to June l. that seemed to me altogether too dras- tic.
 I feel that the new cohoe regula- our regular season. are also unwar- ranted. especially so in view of the reason given by the FWS for this closure. The trolling and gillnet- ting seasons for Southeastern Alas ka close from Sept 15 to October 20. presumably for the purpose of closing the market at a time when echoes are still running in the creeks. thereby eliminating the l- legal catches of echoes brought in by creek fishermen. The reason for this being necessary, according to FWS, is that they do not have enough men to patrol effectively at this time Therefore, again the Sukine district has to take it on the chin because of illegal fishing done miles from this area. In other words, we have to give up one fourth of our season because of fish brought in by a handful of il- district Ie would sem to me that there would be better methods of controlling a situation of this kind. I might mention here that last sea son the FWS closed our cohoe sea son along with the trolling season without any advance notice the 18th of September, presumably for the same reason stated above We giIlnetters did not protest this five day earlier closing date because the run had been light up to that time, and we felt that the early closure was warranted for that reason. Now this year the date has been moved forward another three days, mak- ing total of eight days.
 l would like to add here that no restriction whatsoever have been palced on the traps in the new reg ulations. They also catch fish. Therefore, it would seem that they too should be subjected to curtail- ment if it is really true that the runs of fish need building up in the territory.
 To sum this whole thing up, it is not only a question of the reg ulatiOns for this year. but if this continues, it is only a matter of a short time before the Stikine dis trict will be a closed area. When that day comes, Wrangell will cease to exist as a town.

Two Letters

Take a peek over my shoulder at a couple of interesting Ietters rs- ceived in this mornings mail. Oh, 1 know, it isn't polite, but do it anyway just this one time.
 One letter comes from a gentleman who fished recently in Hestsr'a Lake in North Carolina. Attached to his letter was a narrow strip label reading Blended and Bottled by Schenley Distributors, Inc, Schenley, Pa" While cleaning one of bis catch, he found this label, neatly folded in the fish's stomach. Our correspondent asks, ''Is it that the whiskey is so good that the 6sh VII eat the labels?"
 Just plain mOdesty prevents uB from making a direct affirmative rD- apOnse. But our friend gives us an Idea. We'd like to pass a suggestion on to those of our readers who have had fishing experiences similar to this recorders. Haven't you often wondered how fish could turn down the alluring tidbits with which you tempted them? Well, you might save your Schenley labels for the naxS time yo'l go fishing.
