NO ONE CAN ANSWER SALMON RIDDLE YET

No one is more deeply concerned than we residents over Alaskas future salmon runs We live here and intend to make this home for many years to come.
 Because salmon canning is the backbone of AL aska's economy today and has been since the TerritOrys early days, we think salmon conserV- aton is the concern of every Alaskan. With this in mind, we offer you these facts: Frankly, we don't know what causes one year to be good salmon fishing seasonln Alaska and an other one poor season. Nor, as nearly as we can find Out does anyone else know the answer to this age-od riddle. With all interested groups from the United States government to the sal industry itself spending a good deal ot money and time on scientific research we feel certain the mystery of the salmon cycles will be solved in the near future.
 It is significant however that no fish biologist or conservaeionist has declared any one type of fishing gear - trap seine or gill net - respons- ibe for a depletion of salmon runs. Actually, the U. s. Fish and Wildlfe Service, the Bureau in charge of salmon conservation, has authority at the present time to close every fish trap in the Territory tomorrow morning if they were be- ieved to be menace to our salmon. We do know that abolition of fish traps in Puget Sound cut the salmon pack in half and resulted in reduction of 40 per cent of the number of can neries that operated there for ten-year period thereafter.
 We feel that one forward step would be for Con- gress to enlarge the Fish and Widlife Staff in Alaska so that present regulations applying to all types of gear could be rigidly enforced Conservation as an argument for abolition of fish traps is not supported by fact. To the contrary, 1t is an argument to continue trap fishing No unproven assertion should be the basis for crip- bling our tax structure and drastically curtailing our largest industry.
 There are other reasons why the Territorial Tax payers Association urges you to vote for the continuation of salmon trap fishing on Oct Ober 12. We feel that traps, because they provide jobs for Alaskans and tax revenue for the Terri tory, must stay

CHRISTMAS
Ry PATRICIA sINCLAIR

AVIS stood inside the spacious
- hall of the Carron home with
her small overnight bag at her
feet and greeted the slim girl ap-
preaching her Merry Christmas.
Barbara Oh-h. it's showing beau
tifully outside!" She looked down
at the snow on the toes of her small
white boots. II hate to track it in,"
she said.
Don't worry about that. I'm so
happy you came" Barbara smiled
and helped Avis remove her snow
covered garments
''Cn, ! wouldn't have missed COM
ing for all the world" Avis said,
and meant it. now that she was act
ually there. Her dark eyes swept
the attractive. decorated home,
and the inviting fire that roared

about huge logs in an immense
fireplace in the room beyond.
II hope you'll enjoy yourself.
Avis" Barbara said. my guests
have not all arrived. Would you
like to go up to your room first
and"
Take the shine from my nose!
Yes, thanks so much" Avis re-
sponded eagerly. knowing that she
needed a few repairing touches
after the long trip out to the Carron
home by bus.
AS she ascended the stairs she
thought, how right Barbara had
been when she'd told her the other
day, after inviting her to her home
for the weekend and a Christmas
party, You can't stay in your
apartment alone on Christmas. You
can't become a recluse just be-
cause some fellow preferred an
other girl to you. You should start
all over again.
Barbara was like that. At times
Avis couldn't help envying Bar
bara's carefree, unstable attitude
toward men. Barbara would never
know the sting of loneliness. the
hitfay unaY-pinn for cnYonnpD nhn
had become the purpose of life it.
self.
Avis hadn't told Barbara, nor
anyone, everything about her ac-
qauintance with Steve Ross. She
hadn't even told Barbara his name.
There was no point in going into
detail and revealing: Il crossed
three states just to get away from
the sight of him constantly with the
new blonde who came to town."
Avis could hear Barbara's re-
sponse to such a revelation, mo
battle was ever won by an army of
cowards!"
But Avis wasn't built that way.
She had pride. and from observa-
tion she'd learned that one-sided
marriages never panned out.
AS she ran a comb through her
short dark hair she thought of
Steve. 1t had been two months
since she left the little town of
Allen Glen. He and Ann were mar
ried now of course. They'd spend
their first Christmas together.
Her eyes filmed, but she quickly
brushed aside the threat of tears
and hurried from the room to join
Barbara and her guests below. She
was glad she'd come She wouldn't
have a chance to think of Steve.
Avis started down the stairs but
! stopped midway when she saw
! Steve Ross smiling up at her from
the hall below
He said. Pm not ghost, Avis!
Merry Christmas, and-Well, aren't

u. .S.Divorce Rate
Lowest in 8 Years

The u. S. divorce rate in 1947
was the lowest in eight years be-
cause of the high cost of living and
the fact that more women are de-
pendent since they lost their war
time jobs, according to the find
ings of Mary Jane Bailey, staff
editor of the World Book Encyclo-
pedia.
Miss Bailey, who authored the
divorce" article in the World
Book Encyclopedias 1948 Annual
Supplement, reports that the
chances of staying married are
best in Buffalo, New York. This
city, located in Erie County, re-
corded the greatest divorce decline
of any American community. In
1916, the peak year for divorces,
Buffalo had 1,121 annulments and
1872 divorces. In 1947, Buffalo's re-
cord revealed only 349 annulments
and 387 divorces.
The Reno divorce factory re-
ported only 1922 divorces as COM
pared with II, ,O6O in 1916. st. Louis
had a 43 per cent decrease and
closed one of its three domestic re-
lations courts.
A 20 per cent drop was evidenc-
ed in New York City, with only
$500 divorces granted by the end
of September. For the same period
in 1916, the nations largest city
had 1925 divorces.

Mesa News
BY Alfonso Campbell Jr.

This week is the SaddeSt one
Mesa has had since I've been here,
because death, who strikes when
it wants to without any kind OF
notice, took the life of Nathaniel
Frelix, while he and five compan-
ions were swimming in a canal
Northeast of Mesa. Every attempt
to save him was made by his COM
panions but without success. Fun
eral services will be held Satur-
day at 2 o'clock at Mt. Calvary
Baptist Church, located on North
Lewis st.
He is survived by his mother,
Mrs. Flora Henderson, his step
father, Mr.. Charlie Henderson and
half sister, Miss Flora Henderson,
and quite few relatives.
Mesa also had a few happy ev-
ents during the week when an 8-lb.
girl was born to Mrs. Sarah
Brown, a former student of Phoe-
nix College, and the father, Wal
ter James Brown, who is a stu
dent at Tempe College.
Mrs. LOrrell GrubbS was also
blessed by the birth of a girl, both
mothers and babies are reported
doing fine.
Well, you would think that I
would be through talking about
people going on vacation, but they
are still leaving so I have to tell
you about it. Mrs. Adams left for
Mississippi for short vacation.
Miss Martha Lewis also left for
Mississippi, but she left to stay
quite awhile.
Lately people have been getting
gray hairs on their heads from
worry or from having to work all
day, and they should never do that
because old age will get the gray
hair. know some people will be
calling me big lug, so I had bet
ter sign off until next week.

SUNSHINE"
BY Mrs. Nellie Maye Taylor

Hello there, here and every
where. What's cooking good look
ing besides the heat. Many things
are happening here, there and ev-
erywhere of interest until I hard
ly know what will be of interest to
us today. An eleven year old moth
er who gave birth to an eight
pound boy in Atlanta, Ca, stirs
the Medical World. South Carroll
ma seems to be in the spotlight
again since Negroes are to be al
lowed to vote. In Columbia the
Klan burned two crosses about a
thousand yards from the Church
where the Negroes were being in
structed in the voting procedure.
Yet we must bear in mind this is
the land of the free. Thirty-seven
Negroes are candidates in the Wal
lace movement, ten seek seats in
Congress. Where else have you
seen or heard of as many Negroes
as Candidates in any other party.
1t seems it is trying to live up it's
name Progressive" He didn't only
ask to abolish Jim Crow in the
Armed Services, but the whole
country over. Now you know that
is something to ask for. After all
there will only be about one-fourth
of us in the army. We must praise
our President, he did fine under
conditions. The Dixiecrats open
their National office in Mississippi.
Their program is supposed to be
based on States Rights. Let's see
how they will come out. Of course
they have nothing to offer us, in
fact they are all against us. But
that is alright too. We will win
out on top, one of these days.
Things must change, they can't re-
main the same all the time. A wise
man once wrote, "To everything
there is a season, and "a time to
every purpose under heaven; a
time to be born, and time to die;
a time to plant and time to pluck
up that which is planted. In fact
a time for everything under the
sun. So our time must come, it has
too. It can't be kept away. Our
thought for today, "The sunlight
of enlightenment is rising behind
the mountains of Prejudice"
