The
Acklinite
By Lewis Mattox
By Lewis Mattox

1T LOOKS like we will have a
bigger and better lunch room
soon. The executive committee
has been suggesting this to the
company for about months, 1t
was considered by the company
and Harry Smith says the plans
are being drawn up and will be
built in the early part of spring.
The company should be given a
lot of credit for going along with
the workers of our shop and we
are sure it will be appreciated.
The Acklin Activities Club is
planning a dinner for the vari-
Gus committees that have made
the prots and other activities go
off in such good order. The shop
will be posted soon.
Nominations for officers of
the Acklin Unit UAW-CI0
will take place Sunday, Janu-
airy 80, 1949, AIS Winthrop
st. at 2 p. m. Please plan to
attend.
1t looks like a lot of the boys
around the local will run again
in the Local IL elections. The
present officers merit your sup
port so try to vote in the Local
IL elections. P. S. The name of
Howard Seren will probably ap-
pear on the ballot and we all
know he has done good job for
all CIO along with president
Melvin Schultz, Randy Gray,
and Norman Myers should be
thanked for job well done.
The quietness of our shop is
really amazing for election time.
The lid will probably pop when
the nominations are made.
Our secretary, Chester Stanis-
zewski, was voted to go to the
Milwaukee Convention by the
Acklin Unit.
Ted Iwanicki, our Star Re-
porter is really in there pitching.
He says the people and the Com
pany have had a good year, full
employment and he hopes that
this will continue for a long,
long time.
On the beam! Walter TrZeskal-
ski has bid for a job in the time
office. Nice going Walter, we
will call you Millie soon, but re-
member you are over Fl years
old so don't let Millie tell you
what to do.
Yep, that's the Ford Clint In
glis was telling us all about.
Watch it come out the gate some
night, all the class in the alley.
Now that we're promised
larger lunch room, it's for the
Company to think of our most
urgent need, A LARGER FIRST
AID ROOM.
] guess we all have seen dog
in flight with his tail stuck be-
hind, well, some of our boys had
a treat to some Hot Peppers one
day and the same was their
plight.
1t looks like the boys are just
a little bit jealous of Wee Willie
Cardwell of the Maintenance
Dept. He has been working
every day for a long time and
the boys are all wondering why.

Asks Funds For Surveys In Alaska

WASHINGTON - Pres d ent Truman has sent up to the Hill a request for $200,OOO to be used for survey of public lands in Alaska. The request represents an addition to the money already being sought to carry out the activities of the Bureau of Land Management in the 1850 fiscal year.
 If allowed, the funds would pro- vide for six field parties in addi- tion to the four parties now pro- vided in the 1850 budget. The Presidents message stated: Since Alaska climate permits but 4 to 5 months of field work each year, the four parties now provided will be able to complete at best only about one-third of the work now on hand. At present, requests for surveys are being received in greater volume than work can be completed. Lack of completed sur veys is seriously retarding the set clement and development of Alas ka."

Blame Commission For ''ChaOs" In
 Alaska Shipping
tBy Charles D. Watkins)

((P1 Special Washington Servive) WASHINGTON (F), The House merchant marine committee was told last week by one of its mem berS that the maritime commission must assume the major respon- sibility for the chaotic condition" of Alaskan shipping.
 The criticism came from Rep. TollefSon R.-Wash.-, member of subcommittee which investi- gated the shipping situation. His report, made at the closed session of the full committee, was dis closed today.
 "The commissions utter disre- gard of legislation which was passed by Congress in l948 and designed to stabilize Alaska ship ping" Tollefston told the commit tee. twas a prime factor in driving one of the two shipping compan- ies serving Alaska completely out of business.
 "The commissions action con- tributed to the nearly one-half million dollar loss for a single quarter year operation by the re- maining company.
 "The commission seeks to eX- cuse itself by saying that the leg islation was only permissive and not mandatory.
 This is strange statement, in deed, in view of the fact that the commission itself asked our con- mittee for this particular piece of legislation, saying it was urgently needed to keep ships operating in the Alaska trade.
 Certainly no member of our committee thought it necessary to make the legislation mandatory when the commission itself was requesting the authority to do the thing which it said was necessary"
 The legislation gave the com mission the right to charter gov ernment-owned ships to private companies to carry on the Alaska trade.
 Toilefson told the committee tla: new legislation should be en- acted immediately to improve Alaskan shipping.
 He said it is imperative that Alaska have an adequate water transportation, at a cost that the people of the Territory can afford to pay.
 "The problem" he said, "is one which Congress must solve soon, not only in the interests of Alaska alone, but also in the interests of national defense"

TO MAKE FISH RESEARCH
OF FLATHEAD LAKE

Missoula, Jan. 5-The Western
Montana Fish and Game association
will establish a $3.50 scholarship
yearly for three years to finance
research by Montana State Univer-
sity on the fish of Flathead lake,
association officials announced this
week.
The scholarship, to be offered in
italy in 1949, will be made avail
able each year to a graduate stu
dent in zoology for conducting
studies at the University's biologf-
cal station at Yellow Bay on Flat
head lake The project will deal
with problems concerning the oc-
distribution, food habits
and related phases of fish life.
1T is gratifying to know that
sportsmen's organizations are inter
ested in supporting research pro-
grams which will lay a foundation
for better understanding of fish and
game problems" DR.. Gordon B.
Castle, chairman of the Universitys

tence. the Bureau did what its name
implies and really concentrated on
its lob of retaining land. It was
given appropriations of 1854, OOO,-
600. which it used to develop 1900. o.
600 acres of arid land. AS a by
product of this development, 10000
kilowatts of electric power capacity
were created.
In the last Is years, however.
something new has been added. The
Bureau spent more than S1,140.OOO.-
600. For that, it irrigated only l.
100000 acres-and it developed an
additional 2,750,000 kilowatts of
electric power capacity.
Furthermore, if plans for a seven
year program for II Western states
are carried out, the changed char
acter of the Bureau will be even
more heavily emphasized. This pro
gram would cost $4,000, 600, 900. II
would irrigate only 100000 acres
of land. And-of great significance
1T would develop 4,325, 900 kilo-
watts of power capacity, and would
construct from 10000 to 10000 miles
of transmission lines, all or most
of which would duplicate lines
which are already in existence.
The most cursory examination of
these figures leads to but one con-
clusion: the Bureau is giving much
less attention to land reclamation
than it is to Socializing the electric
power facilities Of the nation. It is
thus becoming one of the most eff
fective tools on behalf of those who
look forward to the ultimate nation
alization of our basic resources. The
fact that this is being done under
the guise of constructive detectives
which everyone favors, makes it
all the more on1inouS. It's time the
taxpayers realized what is going on.

AFT I'D
BY Ted Resting

have been reading strange and
wonderful things about the affects
of altitude and cold on rifles, things
that made me wonder why I never
have similar experiences. Actually,
most of the strange behavior of the
rifle IS caused by the shooter Violat-
ing some principle that every rifle
shooter should know.
Here are practically all the pre-
cautions you should take to insure
that your hunting rifle will always
deliver shot well into game, at least
when you aim and squeeze the trig-
ger properly These suggestions are
from Col. Townsend Whelen, noted
arms and ammunition authority.
Don't take it for granted that
your rifle, as it comes from the fac
tory or gunsmith, is correctly sight
ed for you, for the ammunition
you will use, and for the distance
you want.
IF you have your rifle sighted
in. for you by a friend who is
good shot, always verify this sight
ing yourself, He may not aim and
hold the rifle as you do.
If you change ammunition, verify
the sight adjustment with the new
load. Two makes of cartridges,
both with the same weight bullet
and same advertised velocity, may
and may not shoot to the same
center of impact
Never rest a rifle on a solid OBJ
iect, rock or log, as it will probably
shoot very high and wild. Have
some soft object between the rifle
and rest, even the hand will do.
Keep your stock as dry as you can.
Most of the complaints we hear
about shooting high and the admon-
itions to aim low can be traced to
the open read sight. Yet our man
still persist in equipping
their standard sporting rifles with
open rear sights, which are respon-
slble for many misses and much
wounded game. No one who hes
learned to use the ~Lyman-type APP
erture rear sight has any of these
If you observe these precautions.
then you must lay your misses to
your aim and trigger squeeze alone.
Modern American hunting rifles are
remarkably reliable arms, and with
them your only alibi is poor mark
manship-nOt the altitude or the
weather.
