The Naples are Champs of the 1945 season. They took 2 straight from the Cedars to settle the issue In quick fashion. The first game was won by 3 pins and the second by 8 pins. The Birches ended in third place by taking out of 3 from the Walnuts and the Bamboos kept of the challenge of the Oaks by taking 2 games. The banquet has been postponed to April 29 at the Copper Hitchcock Lake. We were glad to hear that Belle Ciar- lone. who paid visit to the hos% pital, is feeling much better, and hope that she will be with us, espe- cially since she is member of the Champs.

Forum On Wheels

A most excellent hstening-pOst the Pullman smoking compartment for a fellow who knows how to is- ten. For instance, on a recent trip to Washington, we tuned in on a rather animated discussion which covered a variety of subjects, all of them pertaining to the present dis locations in American stay-at-home lives. There were criticisms and encomiums, and a good measure of gripping about this and about that. These are days of open forums-on the air and in the press. Wherever men and women gather, events are discussed and opinions are voiced. And always present is the we'll known Americans privilege of gripping"
 Web there was something rather outstanding in this recent incident in a smoking compartment. There sat middle-aged man next to the window, who had not participated in the general discussion. Not a word from him, i.e., not until we had about reached our journeys end. Then he said he had been in America just a short while. Quite miraculously he had worked his way from Germany into France, into Spain, into Portugal, and from there into South America, and f. nally into the United States. He found refuge here.
 With considerable emotion he tried to make us understand his feelings after listening to the discussion. He could hardly believe what he had heard. Men actually spoke out loud with their voices, and their tongues. Where he came from, and all down the line of his travels men spoke too, but not out loud. They spoke with their eyes, with a shrug of their shoulders, with a bite of the lips"
 How lightly, how smugly, and with what matter-of-factness do we Americans accept what is ours.
 Rarely everhas thisrecorder failed to find a highly interesting and in- formative open forum discussion in a Pullman smoker. Dear MT. Pull man, don't ever do away with smoking compartmentsinyourca cars!

 January 6. 1945

Anchorage, Alaska
 January 6. 1945 To Whom It May Concern:
 The Anchorage Branch of the AL aska Fishermen's Union, being in special session, and by unanimous decision, hereby state and petition:
 We are in receipt of a communi- cation which reads as follows
 "The packers of Cooks inlet have requested the Bureau of Fisheries to change the law requiring gill nets to be 600 feet apart and are now requesting that the distance be made 500 feet apart" with eX- ception of one packer.)
 The proposed change is, in actual fact, detrimental and discrimina- tory to individuals engaged in gill netting. It would arbitrarily remove 25 percent of the fishermen now lo- cated and engaged in fishing from this field, they being a part of the permanent population of the Terri tory, with permanent facilities for fishing
 This proposed change in regula- tions does not affect trapsites but enhances their efficiency at the ex- pense of the individual gill netter
 This would, in effect remove in the aggregate 45 miles of proven fishable grounds from production.
 It would necessitate the adjust ment of the fishing rights of APO fishermen with resultant confusion, loss of established composites d permanent homes.
 It would necessitate the removal of loo fishermen from the beach with no fishable sites, due to lack of transportation, remoteness from canneries.
 This above mentioned confusion would result in the loss of much of the seasons pack, seriously dis turbing the economic structure of the business and community.
 Let it be understood by those not acquainted with the gill netting on Cooks inlet that many localities of the inlet are not fishable for the following reasons:
 Closed areas, one mile on each side of all rivers and streams.
 Areas closed for conservation.
 Areas closed for Indian reserva- tions.
 Many beaches are unfishable due to strong tides, prevailing winds, and unnavigable waters. The gill netuers as affected by this proposed change are an inte- gral part of the permanent social and economic structure of the ter ritory and this district, and as such should have voice and consideration in any changes effecting their live lihood, residence m d accepted rights. We fe-I this is a matter that effects us. not only as fishermen, but all who are interested in theI welfare of Alaska, and we ask your coopera tion an assistance in theI prevention of any modification orI change in these regulations.

SmaII-Arms Ammunition
Cutback Considered
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The War Department has dis
closed that reduction in projected
production of small harms rifle and
machine-gun ammunition is under
consideration.
1t was emphasized, however, that
the proposed revision will not affect
present production rates or result
in any release of labor. The revision
will be leveling off of ammunition
production at current production
rates which are double those of last
November.
A War Department statement said
the contemplated change "is only in
proposed future ammunition in
creases, over and above the present
rates, which are still in the planning
stage"
While production will be contin-
ued at present rates, the statement
added, it will be increased for GER
tain types and for this reason there
may be even some increases in the
labor force at certain plants.
1t was said that final action on
the revised schedules is expected
within two weeks.

|Cave Cold Storaqe

As military Secret
Ey the Associated Press.

ES the Associated Press.
ATCHISON, Kans., Mar. 81
The long arm of military secrecy
has reached deep into the Middle
West to incompass activities in
hole in the side of the high Mis-
souri, River bluffs here.
Inside the hole, which is an un-
derground rock quarry with tenn
perature static at So degrees, the
Government has stored some war
food and intends to store millions
of dollars worth more. And acting
on criticism that the cold-storage
facility lis no good" lis not suitable
for food storage" and is costing
too much.' the Mead Senate In
vestigating Committee has made one
survey there and is preparing to
investigate the project.
But newspapermen are barred
cept on authority from Washington.
D. V. Case, VIA engineer, said the
orders came from Eldon Richard
son, WAS chief of supply and
storage in Washington, who faith
cred the project.
No indication has been given when
the natural refrigerator may 60
into full operation.
VIA and the Defense Plant Corp.
have encountered continued delays
in construction since the cave was
leased last June from Lloyd Ker-
ford, limestone miner
Now, nine months later, only dried
eggs have been put into the cave.
Rumors had been circulated that
even these had spoiled. but if there
was any mold in the barrels of pow
dered eggs Phil Eckels, manager of
the big rock vault, said they couldn't t
find it.
Mr.. Case said he knew of no rea-
son why the refrigeration would not
be successful and why its approx
innate cost of $2.000,000 should be
considered excessive.
"A surface building of like size
and properly insulated would cost
about SIS 900 .000," he commented.
