Post Office Gas Station.
Dear Pop:
Well, it's time somebody said
something about admirable Frank
Reed, dear friend to everyone who
knew him. It's swell to have a
school named for guy when he is
gone but why not remember it and
say something nice after the school
is in use?
think we are all too prone to
FORGET them. If it had not been for
that old reprobate Harry Holmes
who works for Bob Sands, I might
have forgotten that this is the an
niversary of the death of FRANK
REED. the first boy of his race to
give his life from Santa Cruz Coun-
ty. MY heartfelt sympathies.
What about your fine kids in the
service-and the flock OF others, too
old fat Steve?
Best regards,
MARTY.

Fish Regulations
 Are Given Out

The fishing regulations for 1945 have been issued by the Fish and Wildlife Service and include q number of changes Of major im- portauce to local fishermen.
 Most spectacular, perhaps, is the later opening of the fall sein- ing season on October 20 through out southeastern Alaska. This for merly opened on October but was delayed to October 8 last season. All trolling throughout south eastern Alaska will be closed from September 15 to October 20.
 The reason for these restrictions on fall fishing is that in late Sep tember and early October many summer chums, pinks and echoes are still schoOled in the heads of the bays in the vicinity of streams. A large percentage of such fish are usually in spawning condition and are of inferior quality tor conner cial purposes and thus result In an economic waste when put on the market They not only bring poor prices, but deprive the spawning grounds Of necessary seeding Tor future runs and returns to the fishermen. Curtaiment of trolling Is primarily for added protection to the coho run and will also give ald in protection to king salmon.
 The seining season in the Icy Straits and Western districts has been moved back from June 70 to June 25 but an extra day has been added at the end of t he season. Under the present regulations, trolling will be the only type ol fishing permitted in southeastern alaska rom June to June 70.
 In our local Stikine district, which includes Wrangell and the waters around Woronofski island, etlnetting and trolling is permit ted from May 10 to May 3l and nom June 25 to September b. AL all other times, commercial fishing for salmon is closed in the Stlklne district. ,o4
 A general regulation of interest to the purse seiners requires that a seine must be pursed and bralled by the vessel used in setting the seine.
 The printed regulations for 1945 have not yet been published but they will be distributed as soon as received. A chart will soon be post ed at the cold-storage showing the boundaries of the nearby fishing districts and the open seasons ap- plicable in each.
 The local Fish and Wildllte agent should be consulted for changes in more distant areas which are not mentioned here.

LONDON-Nazi leaders appeared to be resorting to a campaign of stark terror in an effort to hold the German people in line during the nations greatest hours of peril. The campaign seemed to be taking two forms. Nazi propagandists warned the Germans they would be no better than slaves if the Allies are victorious and at the same time threatened dire punishment of all who failed to fight to the end or cooperated with Allied authorities in occupied territory.
 Despite this last ditch appeal to fear, reports from many sources in- dicated a mounting chaos of despair within the beleagured Reich. Stories relayed through neutral capitals told of disorders, mutinies, attempts on the lives of top Nazis, and large scale assertions from the army.
