L0NGSH0REMEN.s : AT HAYNES ARE
 GIVEN pRAISE

E. c. Koenig, Jr, President Manager of the Port Chilkoot Ter minal Company of Haines, now ir Juneau, today talked on the freight movement over the Haines High way this summer.
 Koenig said the port of Haines had made a very creditable show ing due to the cooperation and will lingness of the longshore at Haines All the men, he said, put forth their best effort and displayed the necessary teamwork to put Haines on the map as freight forwarding port to the Interior" e.
 The port of Haines is organized under the International Longshore- mems Association, A. F. of L. Local 38-169. Officers of the local union are as follows: Karl O. Con- stock, President; Herbert Gulliford Vice-President; James A. F. Mac Cammond, Jr., Financial Secretary and Hubert Barrer, Recording Sec retary.
 Koenig explained that the union and the management have worked in harmony since the port was organized over year ago, and that due to an open and mutual under standing of each others problems, the port has been able to improve it's service to the public and handle the greatly-increased volume of business this year.
 In a recent letter from G. s. Duryea, General Freight and Pas senger Agent for the Alaska Steam ship Company, Duryea praised the Port Chilkoot Terminal Company for it's fast dispatch of the SS Dia- mond Cement of 3675 tons of cargo. He said Tt is indeed gratifying to find men who really must have put in good days work for their pay"
 koenlg stated that the Long, shoremen made an excellent show ing last week when they discharged 312 weight tons of cargo, mostly perishable commodities. from the Alaska Freight Lines Barge in just under 13 hours.
 This averages "A weight tons per hour said Koenig, and in- cludes loading and dispatching eight Alaska Freight Lines trucks to the Interior"
 He added that the Port Chilkoot Terminal Company has added a conveyor belt system to it's dis charge operation this summer and believes that this is the only such system in operation in Alaska at this time. He commented that the union men are proud of their par ticipation in this experiment and are constantly improving on its operation.
 While in Juneau, Koenig is stay ing at the Gastineau Hotel

LOTS OF BOATS,
 NEDI0CRE' CATCH
 ON OPENING DAY

More boats were in action than ever before, as Southeast Alaska $ commercial salmon fishing sea- son opened yesterday.
 But salmon catches were "medi. ocre," according to Frank w. Fly. nes, Fisheries Management Biolog. ist.
 We don't know the exact num- Der of boats out" he said today We haven't a complete report o1 the size of the first days catch But the Fish and Wildlife Services patrol boats and planes have look ed the situation over"
 Although the catch was described as mediocre, many of the best bets" in Southeast Alaska's fishing grounds were being passed up, ir Hynes opinion.
 The first day, Anan Creek head ed the list of popular fishing spots, and Seymour Canal was fish. ed intensively.
 "Tenakee Inlet had a few boats but not nearly as many as we ex pected," Hynes said.
 The precise number of traps il operation cannot be determined a yet. The early opening date il upper Southeast Alaska has encour. aged trap operators to many nor, traps, and some traps are stil being placed
 There are about 400 purse seiner. operating in the Southeast Alasks area, and Hynes estimated at leas 50 of the boats were Juneau based
 Patrolling the fishing ground were FWS vessels Brant, Pelican Blue Wing, Auklet, Scoter an, Heron, as well as 50 small launch es and outboard-motor patrol boats A good part of the potential 2 aircraft of the FWS fleet were ol patrol.
 A complete and accurate pictur of results of the first week o the salmon season will not be avail able until August p.

 POOR FLAG CARE

 in Organization

Flags and membership were the two main topics of discussion at last nights regular meeting of Jul neau Post No. 4, of the American Legion
 The subject of correct flag eti- ouette was raised because of the improper treatement of the U. S flag by some local citizens. It was pointed out that some persons are leaving flags raised all night and in indictment weather, contrary to all prescribed rules for flag display It was voted to appoint Post Con- mander Chester Zenger as a con- mittee to furnish correct informa- tion to persons who are violating the rules of flag etiquette.
 Moral Obligation
 Every veteran should be a member of the American Legion, ' First Vice. Commander and Mem bership Committee Chairman Bob DTuhIIldIlN Sdlu. TIC dCSAdiCd Oildt even if a veteran does not take an active part in the organization, he should at least fulfill his moral obligation by paying dues to the American Legion to help support its many activities on the behalf of all veterans who do not necessarily need to belong to the Legion to partake of these benefits.
 Veterans disqualification, bonuses, pensions, disability compensation, education, readjustment allowances, burial allowances and mastering out pay are just few of the things Druxman said, which were enacted into law as the result of efforts by the American Legion. He said that the nominal annual dues of $500 per year help to support these activities in addition to many direct welfare programs operated by the Legion.
