WATERFOWL BAG LIMITS
 ANNOUNCED

Additional information regarding migratory waterfowl regulations was released here today by the Alaska Game Commission office. Of chief interest is a change in last years rules providing that birds may be kept in post-season possession for a period up to 90 days, doubling the preious time allowed for consump- tion of game taken during the sea- son.
 The additional daily bag of five mallards, pintails or widgeon allow ed last year is no longer in effect. Taking of migratory game birds by use of bait or live duck or goose de- coys is still prohibited.
 The apen seasons announced yes terday by Secretary of the Interior Iekes--Septembe 21 to December 9 in Southeast Alaska and the Aleut- ians, and September l to November l9 in the remainder of the Terri tory-are applicable to wild ducks, geese, coot, scoters and gallinules.
 Daily bag and possession limits are:
 Ducks, all species, singularly or in the aggregate, 10 per day, 20 in possession, including not more than Wood Duck
 Geese, four Snow and White Fronted Geese, plus two of some other kind, including Brant, per day. The possession limit is double the daily bag.
 Coot, 25 per day and in possession.
 American and Breasted Mer- ganser, 25 singly or in the aggregate per day, no possession limit.

A Dangerous Reversal

Such gale of events has swept the ma
ton lately that few may have noted one
particular straw-in-t -wind-pointed in the
direction of danger that would affect all
of us.
After once having ruled that foremen did
not constitute an appropriate unit for col
lective bargaining the National Labor Re
lations Board suddenly reversed itself and
decided that they do.
Dissenting from this surprising about
face, one board member asserted that "col-
lective bargaining by foremen would seri-
ously disrupt managerial and production
techniques." :. And this at time when
high war production still is needed to lick
Japan, and when industry is trying to pre-
pare for reconversion to high employment
for discharged soldiers and others after
victory.
To whom would union foremen owe allie
glance? How would unionization of its fore
men affect arrangements ability and scope
of action to select and train EMPLOYEES for
promotion to higher managerial posts? What
if the same union should represent both
foremen and the workers under them? These
are but few questions raised
The effects OF this would reach right down
into every factory in every community of
the u. S. And, because our manufacturing
industry mainsprings our whole economy, its
effects in slowing up war production now
and postwar reconversion later, in DELAYING
postwar output of needed civilian goods
and boosting prices all along the line, would
be felt by every individual among U.s.
Congress has been stirred tn set aside fhe

sary steps to counteract the devastating eff

YMCA Goes Overheard

The American people were plenty jolted
when the news leaked out about German
prisoners of war in this country being fed
cookies, yet.
Now, when radio commentator Walter
Winchell tells his listening audience that
the international YMCA has handed out a
loving cup, yet, to prisoner of war camp
in Missouri it does seem this is going just
bit too far.
Sandy Newell, our Executive Secretary
of the YMCA, volunteers an explanation
that it is the province of the "Y' to main
tain the recreational and spiritual life in all
camps, Allied and enemy. This is in accord
ance with the rules set down at the Geneva
Conference.
This may be as it should, but when we
read at the same time of our own soldiers
being starved into living corpses by their
Nazi hosts it makes us wonder-WHEN IS
ENOUGH, ENOUGH?
American mothers give much credit to
the YMCA for all they are doing on the
war front and the home front. But Ameri-
can mothers whose captured sons have been
reduced to living skeletons by the Ger
mans will not be able to stomach the "Y's"
gesture-with loving cup, yet.

Patience and an abiding faith In
the virtues Of democracy are neces-
sary traits II one is to bless the
state legislature as a deliberative
governmental body.
Confronted with the prospect Of
a $20-to-$25 million melon to slice,
each legislator had his own idea
as to how 1t should be done.
Mayors of large municipalities
created a pressure group, which is
inevitable under the democratic
system of government, and lobbied
for a share. Educators asked for a
substantial boost in state aid,
pointing to mounting costs and
static incomes. Local governments
townships and counties - viewed
with suspicion the efforts Of other
units to get larger part Of the
sales tax dollar.
The result was weeks Of confu-
sion as pressure groups put the
legislators on the spot, each sin
cerely trying to get more money
from the bullying Golfers at Lam
sing. You can't blame the legisla-
tor for going slow. If he incurs the
displeasure of many voters back
home, he may not return two years
from now. A four-year term would
tend to remove the legislator still
more from the public's pulse.
To safeguard the $50 million re-
serve fund, previously created by
the state legislature out of current
wartime surplus revenue, the leg
islature voted to ear-mark this

actually they fired only a few
shots onto the beaches.
On D-Day plus four, they broad
cast that despite their counterat-
tacks we finally succeeded in land
ing 5000 troops. The truth is that
by sunset of the first evening we
had an incredible number Of scores
OF thousands of Americans on Okin-
ava!
The crippled Jap air force can
not do us anything but spasmodic
harm from now on. And their navy
needn't ever be considered. If you
could see the colossal naval power
we have here you could hardly be-
lieve your eyes. It's one of the most
impressive things I've seen in this
war.
We have plenty of troops in re-
serve, and new conveys of supplies
have already begun to arrive just
as we finished unloading the orig
inal massive supply fleet.
CONVERTING ISLAND
INTO BIG BASE
On Okinawa the majority Of the
Japs are on the southern tip, and
in considerable strength. The
northern area is being combed and
a few scattered ones mopped up.
There is tough fighting In the
south and it will remain tough to
the end. I've heard some officers
say the south end of Okinawa may
turn into another Two Jima. That
will mean heavy casualties on our
side, but the end Of Okinawa is in
evitable.
And while the army's oath corps
Of infantry is doing that job, the
rest Of the island apparently is wide
open for us to develop and we are
doing 1t with our usual speed.

Nothing Like FM Radio

by the sound of a voice-without crackle.
without static without interference-that is
FIN radio.
The Wyandotte police department has
thrown their old fashioned AM system out
the window and with the installation of the
new FIN equipment the police are getting
radio reception now which they never be-
fore dreamed was possible
When radios are manufactured again and
radio stations have switched to the new FM
the millions of radio listeners will find new
enjoyment from an instrument that has
meant much to our everyday life.
With FIN the voice and the music is
brought right into your living room just
as ~ the whole broadcasting studio had
moved right in on you.
Today, wartime restrictions limit FIN
transmitters to the military and the police.
But day is dawning when the whole ma
ton will find new listening pleasure with
FIN radio.

Coffee Grounds, YET. !.

Things are tough all over. Used to be a
time when a cigarette was cigarette-so
round-so firm-so fully packed-and all
tobacco.
Now, it gives coffee grounds.
Not that we're complaining, how else can
you get your breakfast coffee and smoke
at the same time.
What with the shortage and all, we've
tried everything rolling our own from
pack of Bull Durham. Maybe the final
result would make a cowboy blush with
shame, and maybe our hand-rolleds looked
more like cigars, but when they burned :.
they Smelled and tasted like tobacco.
Can't tell how far this thing will 60 now
that it's started. In the future, the smoker
will probably get his choice of cigarettes
made from coffee, orange juice, or apple
pie even.

One main question asked over
here now is, How long will the

of opinions, but actually nobody
knows.
We don't know, because no one
in his right mind can pretend to

thinking. They are unpredictable.
They are inconsistent. AS one Of

ours. The news broadcasts from

Keep The Dog
Ordinance

In recent days the Wyandotte Police De
partment has gone on a rampage against
the owners of unlicensed dogs. The ordi-
nance states that dogs shall be vaccinated
and licensed if they are to be allowed out
side of the house.
It's good ordinance and it's good to see
our police enforcing it.
In years past there have been but few
cases of rabies brought about by the bite
of mad dog. Let's keep it this way.
Pressure to change this ordinance is be-
ing brought against our city officials by
persons who have been cited to appear IN
court for violation of the law.
So far, these city officials are sticking to
their guns by informing the police to con-
tinue enforcing the statute.
The police in turn, are doing good job
of bringing the violators into court.
We can find no criticism of the Dog Ord
nance other than one line on the police
summons which asks the dog owner his
or her age.
We feel this is immaterial, irrelevant and
has no bearing on the case.
Otherwise, it's good ordinance and we'd
hate to see it 60 to the dogs.

only when necessary. Now that we
can fully realize the wisdom of
those words, the things that we
have done and seen take on a
newer meaning to us.
When we first arrived, most of us
just out of recruit training and

eye OF the men in charge, there

We had come to expect from the

The rain pouring down so unex-

Michigan's sales tax, the goose
that lays the golden egg, was re-
sponsible for most of the 1915 leg
islature's deliberations.
How to spend a wartime surplus
occupied a good three-fourths Of
the Lawmakers time. If the finance
committees Of the senate and house
could have brought in their recon-
mendations last January Is, chances
are nine to one that legislators
would have voted promptly to adj
journ in ten days and go home.
The Carr-Ziegler grand jury was
in session less than a block away.
Examination of the 1945 record dis
closes few bills of major import
were enacted.
That is not any criticism Of a
state legislature, as we see it. 1t
is the job of the legislator to meet
the changing needs OF his constitu-
ents, and the truth Of the matter
is that the big majority of voters
have shown little interest in the
1915 session and the laws enacted
to date affect only few.
Trying to appraise each bill on
its merit and to segregate the OBJ
vious pressure group bills from
those of broad public interest, all
takes time. Legislators don't like to
be pushed around; they want to
weigh the facts and come to their
own conclusions. The governor must
bide his time, too, or else risk wrath
of lawmakers for trying to be a
dictator and to strong-arm meas
ures through.

mated by Auditor General Morri-
son to be in the neighborhood of
$50 to $25 millions by July /, 1916.
Governor Kelly announced that the
ceiling for state appropriations
would be 1852 millions. Any SPEND
ing beyond that point would auto
matically bring q stern veto, and
a special session of the Legislature
would follow Immediately.
Lawmakers found a solution In
creating $16 millions In new reve-
nues through an increase in the
states profit on liquor sales and q
revision Of the state Intangible tax
and then segregating these funds
for aid Of local governments-muni-
cipalities and counties.

for disqualification of old age recip-
tents; reimbursements, estimated
at 100000 in the first year, for

aids approximating $25 millions.
