kenbacker at a luncheon in his honor
recently. 1t was at New York's Bit
more Hotel and a colorful crowd
was present to pay tribute to Eddie
this time in a different field. He
has been one of the most honored
men in our nation, being holder of
the coveted Medal of Honor which
was bestowed upon him by Congress
for his flying prowess in World War
I. He has been miraculously saved
from death a number of times since,
particularly when his plane crashed
near Atlanta, and later from the
vast reaches of the Pacific Ocean
where he and his six companions
were lost and adrift for 81 days on
a raft. At the recent luncheno, Eddie
was given a scroll by j. Arthur
Rank, the British film magnate, for
the formers services as chairman
of the sponsors of the World Coun-
Gil of Christian Education. Later
Eddie told me that he was glad to
stand up for Christianity, that it is
what this old world needs. 1t is
good to have such a man take such
a righteous stand.

FEDERAL FISHING
LAW ENFORCEMENT
IS TO BE INCREASED
u. 5. Fish and WildIife
Service Anticipates
Additional Funds

Increased appropriations for the
management of Alaska fisheries
seem now to be definitely assured.
the Fish and Wildlife Service has
announced, and a greatly intensi-
fled program of law enforcement
will be put into effect this year.
More men, planes and patrol
boats will be on the job than ever
before and with the salmon runs
badly in need of watchful care
to bring them back to full pro-
duction the Service promises the
kind of enforcement demanded by
all branches of the Alaska fishing
industry.
In recent years men and money
have been lacking to do full
scale job and some of the fishing
regulations have been given little
attention. Chief among these are
the sections governing the types,
sizes and numbers of nets a boat
may carry and operate in Alaska,
Most of the fishermen have obey
ed these regulations but there are
many who have taken advantage of
the situation to use gear that has
been proved to be highly detri-
mental to conservation. The sys-
tematic checking planned for 1948
will turn this equipment up and
it will be seized and destroyed as
contraband, with extra penalties
and loss of valuable fishing time
to those who possess it.
The Fish and Wildlife Service
would prefer that the fishermen
themselves iall in line and put
all their gear In legal shape before
the season opens rather than wait
for legal proceedings costly to
themselves and the Government.

Mrs. Bethufne said, Cali of my

women in which offices, reception

will be adequate, beautiful, and

open to the women of all races
and will afford facilities ranking
with those of any organization in

our land may feel free to meet,
to bring their guests without
apologies, explanations and hest
fancy. In it, only the spirit of
prejudice and intolerance will be
barred.
During my life, God has
granted me much achievement and
