THE NOME NUGGET

BALTIMORE, P)-Mrs. Bettie E. McComas has a polly who wants no crackers.
 Mrs. McComas says the rare bird insists on scrambled eggs and bread dunked in coffee for break fast.
 For dinner he prefers peas, mashed potatoes, corn, carrots, or pork chops and will gnaW on chicken bones with the rapacity of a bulldog"
 But Mrs. McComas says she doesn't feed Polly Boy much meat because she believes it might make him lose his feathers.
 The parrot is as delicate in lan- guage as he is in palate, and never uses naughty words, Mrs. Me Comas says.

 This provision permits Alaska residents to take fish for their own use at any time. Packers, in a brief, said "abuse of this provision .. is fragrant and untold damage has been done to spawning fish by this abuse" Kelez said many violations have been reported in populous centers, where residents ca oh and sell fish to markets.
 Pa c kerS also opposed any change in the regulation which now requires weekend closure of fish traps.
 Presiding at the hearings here, besides Kelez, were two other rep resentatives of the fish and wild life service, Seton Thompson, chairman, chief of the Alaska fisheries branch, and Clarence Rhode, regional director for Alas ka

Medical Assn. Meet Largest In History

the meeting was the largest in the history of Alaskan medicine. "Over fifty doctors, including phy- sicians from private practice, from the department of health, the Alaska native service and the armed forces, attended the conven- ton last month," said Dr. Blanton, secretary of the association.
 These meetings are of direct importance to residents of the Ter ritory" said Dr. Blanton, "becauSe at them doctors can hear from specialists on improved medical and surgical methods, discuss Ter ritorial problems, and take action to improve health conditions in Alaska"
 Action taken, as revealed by the report, included formation of committee to work for greater ap- propriation for aid to the indigent sick, this aid to be administered through the welfare department. Another resolution passed by the members opposed prostitution, and requ sted the department of health to make regulations prOhib- iting issuance of medical certifi- cates showing freedom from ven ereal disease, to the women.
 To further these efforts, the doc tors resolved to hold their next meeting in Juneau during the leg islative session.
 The meeting also recorded it's strong approval of the Blue Cross disqualification plan, which pro- vides insurance for hospital care.
 The doctors accorded their high est honor to Dr. Peter l. Dahl gen. eral practitioner of SkagWay, when they nominated him as Alaska s doctor of the year" and sent in his credentials to the national medical association.
 The new president of the Alaska medical association is Dr. C. C. Carter of Juneau, the first and second vice presidents are Dr. A J. Schaible and Dr. Raymond B Coffin, both of Anchorage, and the secretary is Dr. Blanton of Juneau

10 Big Year for Hungry Horse

1949 will shape up to be one
of the three big years of Hungry
Horse dam construction.
In his January budget to con-
gress, President Harry Truman is
likely to ask for an annual APP
preparation for construction oil
this northwestern Montana dam
considerably over 194S's figure of
$14,611, $50.

years for this worlds fourth lar

1t will take about 10000 freight
carloads of cement, and 100000
cubic yards of sand and gravel.
There'll be jobs at Hungry
Horse late this coming spring for
1000 men as GSM continues ex-
cavation at the da1nsite; builds the
l35-foot high 52-foot in diameter
ten-slded concrete mixing plant;
completes the 32O-foot cement un-
loading plant at Coram; starts
gravel stock piling, and builds
cableways. Helping make up the
1000 men at work will be clearing
contractors, Wilson, Grove and
Trisdale and Seaboard Surety, and
Hewett's Spotted Bear road relo-
cation as well as the bureau staff.
On April 7, 194S, General-Shea-
Morrison, a combination of 12
companies submitted the low bid of

Park Deer Find Old
Christmas Trees
Good NeW Year Food

Tasty morsels for Glacier ma
tional park deer are discarded
Christmas trees. They eat virtu-
ally all the green.
Deer are natural trousers, but
rangers haven't as yet figured out
why the deer prefer the cut small
frs to the living evergreens that
are everywhere around park head
quarters.
Park homes get their Christmas
trees from areas just outside
Glacier, but evidently there's
something more exciting and tasty
about tree that comes from five
miles away - at least for deer.
Another more practical answer
is that needles on the Christmas
trees have dried out while in the
homes, and make better deer food.
