CENTRAL AREA SALMON RUNS ARE PICTURED

(ThiS is the second of Q series
 of reports prepared by the Fish
 and Wildlife Service dealing
 with conditions prevailing dur
 ing the 1945 season and forecast
 ing future runs through checks
 of streams for escapement fol-
 lowing the close of fishing.
 This report deals with: )
 THE CENTRAL ALASKA AREA
 RUNS AND ESCAPEMENT
 In Central Alaska only two of the districts, Prince William Sound and Kodiak, had normal or better than normal runs while third, Cook h. let, had a fair run of Reds and PinkS, showed a good percentage increase over the former cycle year. The Alaska Peninsula District, South Side, produced 56000 cases of Reds, compared with the ten-year average of 74000 cases. The Pink and Chum runs were discouragingly weak for the third consecutive year. The Red salmon pack for Chignik, of 18,600 cases, was the smallest for many years, and only about one third normal. Packs of other species in the district were considered av- craze. A record pack was canned in the Prince William Sound District which had heavy production of both Pinks and Chums. The Reds run to Copper and Boring Rivers, To- cated in the Prince William Sound area, were also above normal. The fall run of Silvers for these river districts was just about average. Kodiak had the best run of Reds that it has had since 1886. The pack was 164,000 cases, compared with the ten-year average of 113, TOO cases. The Pink and Chum runs, though late in developing, resulted in good packs.
 Because of limited personnel the headWaters and spawning areas of Copper River were not examined; however, reports received from per- sons residing on the upper branches of the river indicate very favorable upstream migration and catches by local residents. Other Red salmon streams are believed to have receiv- ed average escapements. Observation of the majority of the Pink and Chum streams in Prince William Sound during the early part of the season indicated fair escapement throughout from the early runs. In addition, with the exception of the streams of Port Wells and some of the streams of Port Nellie Juan the streams in the district received a good escapement from the later runs that continued to come in until af- ter the close of the season, giving in general a satisfactory seeding in the district on a whole.
 The major Red salmon spawning areas of Cook Inlet including the Kenai and Kasilof River areas were believed to have received a normal escapement throughout the season, and post season surveys appeared satisfactory. The opening of beaver dams on many of these important streams and their tributaries prior to the time of upstream migrations by Captain R. L. Cole, Fish and Wildlife Service, through funds pro- vided by the Cook Inlet packers, contributed greatly to this satisfac- tory seeding. The escapement in Fish Creek, an important stream Tn Upped Knik Arm was poorly seeded, due in part to large num- bers of Reds taken from the stream and spawning grounds by local res- idents supposedly" for home con- sumption, but obviously in greater quantities than this use could jus tify. The King run in the Inlet was

On Recently. Passed Law
BY The Union County
Department of Health

Recent years have witnessed re-
markable advances in the treat
ment of venereal disease. However,
neither society nor individuals viii
derive appreciable benefit unless
these advances in medical science
can be applied to infected persons
early in the course of the disease.
On and after Aug. %, physician
or other person authorized by law
to attend an eXpectant mother
shall take specimen of blood for
a serologic test for syphilis. This
bin was recently enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of
Ohio. This is not an all together
new idea because the United
States Public Health Service has
required blood tests on all Service
mems wives taken care of under
the emergency maternity and in
FAINT care program.
There are three principal meth
ods of venereal disease case-find-
ing: education, screening tests and
contact investigation. Education in
its broader sense includes, among
other types, the community educa-
ton which induces people to. cote
a physician when they suspect
Veneral disease. An educational
program would also Influence
people without symptoms to seek
diagnosis because of a desire to
make certain veneral disease was
not present.

merely to give an idea OF the COM
plexities in which audiences will
find themselves trapped.
There are, it seems, these two fel-
lows back from the Army, MacMur-
ray and Demarest. The formers
name is Eddie York, but the minute
he gets into civilian clothes he is
mistaken for a chap named Francis
Pemberton, of whom he never heard,
As such he is whisked before the
scholarly bookie and told to pay off
a $4,000 debt, or else. Next he
lands in the Pemberton's palace,
where he is mistaken for Francis
even by the family. To his conster-
nation, it turns out that he is a
millionaire, a drunken bum, a IA
ther, the divorced husband of a
pretty blond and a lot of other
things which were the fate of the
weak Francis. Moreover, there still
is the restless bookie stalking him
for that $4,000.
That is a large number of things
to get Strengthened out before the
poor guy can go back to his own
program, which is the simple one of
going straight to Beaver DAM, Wis,
and starting mink farm.
From some of the messes, it Is
funny watching the fellow try to
extricate himself. That Is most par
ticularly true of those when Tami-
rolf is ground speaking of the lost
art of reading in one breath and, in
the next, of how he will have to kill
MacMurray for nonpayment of his
debts. It is not precisely a fresh
idea In comedy characters, this one
of Tamirof, but he Is up to making
it seem rather newish.
Davenport, as the stormy old
grandfather reduced to encouraging
others to sock evildoers In the jaw
is another useful agent for Mac
Murray in giving Pardon My Past
lift upon several occasions when
1t looks in sore need Of it.
As director Of the farce, Fenton
is to be admired for not throwing UP
his hands when the pace of the &C
ton becomes hopelessly reckless and
seems destined to smash itself tc
pieces. In the climactic sequence
where everything is finally straight
ened out, it must have been a down.
right Spartan performance on his
part.
You probably will need the same
courage and fortitude to take this
part.
