Pink Salmon Runs Keep Alaska Pack Average Up

WA s HINGTON, (P) - South eastern Alaska's pink salmon kept the Territory this year from haV- ing the poorest fishing in it's his tory, the Fish and WildIife Serv- ice said Saturday.
 The agency said the Southeast ern Alaska pack was "surprising but gratifying"-2,4 ,4000,0O0 cases, compared with last years l,275,- 900, five-year yearly average of l,465,000, and the best year since the phenomenal 4,000,0 0,000-case pack in l941.
 By contrast. the valuable red salmon pack of Bristol Bay-in some years among the largest in Alaska-this year was only SPA 900 cases, compared with 1,236,- 900 last year.
 The total pack for Alaska, said Howard Baltso, acting chief of Alaska fisheries for the fish and Wildlife service, was 4,250,000 cases. The record low, for recent years. were the slightly less than 4,000, ,000-case packs of l946 and l948.
 "The good run in Southeastern Alaska was due in part to the se- were limits on fishing imposed in l947, shortening the season to per init great escapement of spawning salmon" BaltsO told reporter. But we had an assist from na. ture. The natural factors mus | have been very favorable.

Alaska Badly Needs Doctors And Nurses

SEATTLE, L4) - Tuberculosis and orthopedic cases yearly take hundreds of victims among Alas ka's natives and there is a shortage of doctors, particularly general practitioners.
 pr. M. M. Van Zandt, chief medical officer and assistant med ical director of the Mt. Edgecumbe hospital said today.
 Dr. Van Zandt said that at pres ent Alaska hospitals operated by the Alaska Native SerVice-need three physicians and 28 staff nurses.
 By June, 1850, an additional three physicians, 65 staff nurses, 50 ward attendants, 40 hospital at tendants and others will be need ed.
 The doctor pointed out that pos itions are open for interior Alaska as well as in coast hospitals. Rates of pay, under civil service are high, Dr. Van Zandt said. To per sons stationed at the hospitals, cost of living is nominal
 The Service operates under the department of the Interiors Bur eau of Indian Affairs.

Radar Screen Surrounds U. $.

WASHINGTON, lP) - The air force said this week radar air de- fense systems are operating on both coasts of the United States and in Alaska.
 Beyond confirming their exist ence, however, the air force de- clined to give any details on the radar stations along the northwest and northeast coastal areas.
 Operation of the Pacific North west system was first disclosed in Seattle on Monday by newspaper reporters and Rep. Jackson O. WashD who made a tour of de- fense posts. The air force, in re- sponse to questions today, said a similar setup is working in the northeastern area.
 Although there was no direct indication of the scope and eff ciescy of the radar spotting areas in detecting a possible sneak ap- proach of hostile planes, it is sig nificant that the air force refers to them only as systems"
 Air force experts recently have emphasized that there is a de- cided difference between a system and d true network. A network, they explained, is a solid fence of radar stations, with their range so overlapped that any air craft com ing across it would be detected.
 A system can be a network with holes in it-that is it is made up of radar units for guarding only certain areas.
 The radius of one system does not necessarily reach out to that O fthe next system.

All Set to Welcome

Glacier national parks first ia
mily of 1948 are prepared to well
come vacationers of 1949.
Goldie and her two cubs, last
year described by rangers as the
most popular bear family in the
parks history, are pointing anxious

Wall road camp. Early June open
ing Of the 50-mile highway across
Logan pass won't be too soon for
them.
Mrs. Ray Price at Garden Wall
camp reports the two now rs
pound cubs are more nearly the
same light color. A year ago they
weighed pounds. One of the
twins, Whitley, was believed to be
the lightest colored bear ever OBJ
served in Glacier. His sister was
the cinnamon color of their mo-

The trio that is likely to break
up this summer, was a traffic

last years motorists. Goldie also

Lady Bug-Like Beetles
Come to Rescue Of
FIathead Pastures
HUNGRY HORSE NEWS PHOTO

To the rescue of Flathead coun-
ty pastures have come 10000 little
copper black beetles from Aus
tralia, whose diet is almost ex-
clusively goatweed. For size and
shape they look like a lady bug,
and are called klamath or Goat
weed beetles.
The beetles have just been plac-
ed on goatweed patches near the
Blankenship ranch at the junction
of the Flathead river with its
north fork. They were obtained
by County Agent Walt Maurit-
son through cooperation of the
forest service from the University
of California.
A recent arrival to the Flathead
goatweed is found from Columbia
Falls to Bolton and into Glacier
national park. 1t is destroyed by
cultivation, but will crowd out
up to go percent of pasture. The
weed has yellow flowers and is
about 18 inches high.
The Australian beetles were
turned into goatweed on the Buff
alo range near St. Ignatius a year
ago. Results are not known.
