Island City.
Party Goes Fishing
Mr.. and Mrs. Simpich accom-
panied by Miss Dorothy Neville
and 1t Commander j. B. Roberts,
staff photographer for the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine,
spent the day fishing in the Gulf.
The party returned to port with
a nice catch consisting of Jack,
mackeral, kingfish, and one
specimen that could not be iden-
titled.
First Kingfish Entry
To Miss Neville goes the
credit for catching the first King
fish to be entered in the Island
City Fishing Tournament. Her
fish weighed thirty two pounds,
and measured four feet one inch
in length.
Still No Navy Entries
Certainly by now the Navy fish
ing boats must have made some
catches that meet the minimum
requirements of the Jaycees
Fishing Tournament Committed
However to date none have been
received and the first quarter
ends tonight at midnight. So
there is still time, Jack Murray,
chairman of the committee states
that the forms have been turned
in the Navy for any entries re-
ceived. A

Of the Is entries she brought to the flower show, sponsored by Northland Pioneer Grange, Mrs. Karla Duff had eight first prize winners and one second last Sunday. The combination was good enough to narrowly edge out Mrs. Virgil Eckert as grand prize winner in the Sunday show. Mrs. Eckert had seven blue ribbons and two red ones.
 There were 28 seperate parti- cipants in the show, several of whom brought more than a doz- en different plants and flowers. Visitors were delighted with the colorful display of delphinium, phlox, sweet peas, nasturtiumS and many other Alaskan blos- sons.
 Guests came frome Anchorage and Fairbanks to see the Valley flowers, and there were even visitors from the states of Wis consin and Kansas present. Two guests from Manhattan. Kansas, were visiting school teachers - one of them an instructor of botany in the college of that Western town.
 Grange women estimated that more than 100 visitors filed through the hall between the hours of 1 and D. m.

Congress Roundup
Saturday. April 2. l949l

WASHINGTON, (P)-The Sen ate called an unusual Saturday session today to push through fi- nal approval of the S5,580, ,000 European recovery program.
 Several policy changing amend ments still must be whipped down by administration leaders, but what was probably the biggest threat to the bill for a second-year Marshall plan was smashed late last night.
 A 54 to 23 vote defeated an amendment by Senators Taft R.- Ohio) and Russell D.-GaJ that would have cut the total 10 per cent.
 The one-sided count was a sur prise even to Democratic leader Lucas of Illinois, who predicted that all remaining amendments seemed sure of defeat.
 Lucas said passage of the pro- gram would have a tremendous psychological effect throughout the world.
 "The communists cant use this for propaganda and they cant say we Welched on our promises to Eu- rope" he said.
 But Senator Ellender D.-LaJ said he was about fed up" on foreign aid programs and planned to try to trim the fund when il comes before his appropriations committee for approval.
 The bill now being debated is merely to continue the Marshall Plan, and recommend how much should be spent. Later; actual au- thorizatiOn of the funds must be acted on.
 The administration won a clear cut victory in the OleOmargarine- butter battle when the House yes terday rammed through approval of a bill to repeal the 63-year-old tax on Oleo.

Rules Governing Queen Contest

No counts will be given to any one, nor will any tips be given as to who's ahead in the Contest un- til 12 midnight, May 7th.
 When you buy ticket from one of the contestants, remember you are doing three things:
 1. You have a chance to win S500.00 cash
 2. You are giving your favorite contestant 100 votes and a chance to win $l50.00 cash is she comes out first; S1OOOO cash is she comes out second, and $5O.OO if she comes out third, plus additional prizes to be added to these as the contest progresses. Every contest ant will receive prize.
 3. You are contributing toward a civic need of long standing, i.e. an excellent ice skating rink with flood lights for winter use and paved properly for tennis and badminton courts, outdoor danc- ing in the summer, hockey and the old winter sport of curling.
 The site for the skating rink has not yet been decided upon and de bends considerably on the prog ress of the contest. We feel that the idea of not publishing or an- nOuncing any information as to who is ahead is the fairest pOSsi- ble way to run the contest. The contestants only will know their own scores.
 People selling tickets must keep track of their ticket numbers in the event they are lost. If a ticket IS lost, please notify Ted Duffield immediately and those numbers will be VOided from the final count and withheld from the drawing.
 No tickets will be accepted by the counters after 12 midnight, May 7th.
 This is fair contest and for a good cause, so com'on, folks, help us put it oVer!..
 If anyone would like to enter the contest as Madame K" we will withhold your name until the night of the drawing just let us know who your sponsor t.
 It will be helpful to instruct per sons who will be out of town, to put their name and address on the back of their ticket.
