bers of Commerce, lumber and saw mill workers, cold storage plants. and business and professional men have brought to my attention the disas- trous effects of the proposed split ! season in halibut fishery now under
 consideration by the International
 Fisheries Commission.
 | T strongly protest issuance of
 regulations to effectuate the so-
 called split season without the Com
 missions holding hearings in Alas ka to enable Alaskans tc express themselves on this vital matter af- fecting the whole Alaskan economy. Tn substance, the split season permits fishing in Area Two during three 8-day fishing seasons, and Area Three, during four 10-day fishing seasons, with 20-day closed seasons in tetween, both areas to be open at the same time, thereby con- fining each boat to a maximum of four trips.
 Under such an arrangement, 40 percent of former fishing time would
 be lost to the average Alaskan boat in Area Three. Such boats, being smaller, will be prevented from util- izing the full 10-day fishing season for fishing. Instead, they must use 40 percent of the short open season
 as running time to port for unload-
 ing catch.
 Tn Area Two, the average Alas
 kan boat would lose approximately 45 days of other fishing, because of
 having to stand by equipped for the
 next halibut season and inability to
 fish meanwhile for other species.
 While Alaskan fishermen would
 of necessity be idle during the 20-
 day closed periods, outside interests
 who operate halibut schooners and larger ships with greater cruising
 radius, greater ice and fish capacity, and larger crews for 24-hour rota~
 ton fishing, would fish the full 10-day season, head south during the 2o-day closed period, land catch es in Puget Sound ports, outfit for the return trip, by-pass Alaska ports altogether. return to nalieut grounds for next To-day fishing season, and {! repeat process.

DR. ALBRIGHT E
 SPEAKER AT BpW(

More than 90 members and guests Of the Business and Professional Women's Club heard Dr. c. E. Al trecht, Territorial Commissioner ot Health, address the group Monday at the regular luncheon meeting on the Baranof Terrace.
 As the first speaker in a series of programs during February, BPW health month. Dr. Albreeht out lined bills before the legislature in which his department is interested and told of the projected Arctic Health Institute, planned by the Federal Government, for research work to be conducted in connection with the University of Alaska.
 Two bills, foremost of those spon- sored by the TDH, would rewrite

ka facilities of the major share of business on which they depend from halibut fishery.
 Among Alaska activities adverse ly affected would be the resident fishing fleet, ships outfitters, cold storages, marine ways, sawmills and box lumber industry, fuel dealers and variety of mercantile firms, as well as Alaskan wage earners employed in all.
 Federal interest in the develop ment of Alaska would be directly undermined if split season mater ializes.
 Alaska economy would be other wise upset by the effect on ship ping rates of loss of any of all too little southbound tonnage, in this instance estimated at 40,000 cubic tons annually, plus northbound freight incident to present scale ot halibut outfitting done in Alaska.
 Tt is untenable that commis- sion on which Alaska is not repre- scented is considering a split sea- son which would gravely impair Al askas economy. .
 Urgently request that the h. ternational Fisheries Commission be directed to withhold action on split season until hearings have been held in Alaska communities concerned, and that the consensus of expres- sions there voiced determine the outcome.
 Areas Two and Three embrace the entire Alaska halibut fishery Area Two, Southeast Alaska waters, and Area Three, the halibut grounds from Cape Spencer westward"
 The Alaskan halibut fleet has been estimated to number some 300 vessels.

again they were seated on the cliff
watching the moon come up out Of
the ocean, his courage failed.
Heavy-eyed he went to the office
next morning to find letter await

Apparently he has just been anus

me to marry him. I do wish you'd

Aaron Bell, "a, looking 10 years
younger, abruptly ceased debating
and stared hard at his stenographer.
The stenographer, Miss Daniels by
name, was small, dark, vivacious
and exceedingly attractive. She had
come to work In the law office of
Attorney Aaron Bell two weeks pre-
vious. She was capable girl, yet for
some unexplainable reason Aaron
hadn't been able to get used to her.
That is to say, he felt nervous
whenever he was debating letters.

"Dear Temple: demand that you

Just For You


Just For You
It's practically Christmas,
We says to ourself,
AS we reached for the
Greetings there on the shelf.
The letters were jumbled
And all in a heap,
From lying all year
In a box buried deep.
AS we lifted each letter
We gave it a glance
To see how it looked,
Leaving nothing to chance.
OH DEAR
The M was all wrinkled
The E slightly bent.
The R leaned to portside
The R est of it spent.
The Y looked a wreck
All ragged and torn
Crumpled up in a ball
Like a thing forlorn.
OH WELL
Then we rummaged around
Till we found the rest.
They weren't too bad
Nor were they the best.
The c was some beaten
The H wilted down,
The R was motheaten.
The | had turned brown.
The S was all crinkled
The T looked too faint,
The M should have twinkled
The A needed paint.
The S couldn't stand
By itself all alone,
So we let it collapse
Like thing made of stone.
We took the glue
And the scotch tape too
And patched up the letters
As good as new.
We strung them up
So they'd make some sense
And hung them carefully
Over the fence.
NOW
The message they spell
Is old, that's true
It's our annual greeting
MERRY CHRISTMAS to yo
HAVE FUN!
