major habitat areas for our salmon
runs will have disappeared"
Native of Washington
Anderson was born in Belling-
ham in 1904 and his parents had
been residents of that county since
1880. He has been married for 10
years and has two sons, Jerry 16,
and Ross 10. He graduated from
the Western Washington College
of Education at Bellingham and
took his masters degree at the
University of Washington, special
izing in education and recreation.
From 1880 to 1941 he served as
football coach and athletic director
at Bellingham High School.
During the war he acted as Ia
Dor relations director for the Bel
lingham Iron Works. During the
past six years he has been on his
own, handling real estate and
studying the salt water sportsmen-
commercial anglers relationship.
Anderson has been a sports fish
erman all his life, and has fished
the streams of Whatcom County
for trout and steelhead since a
boy.
He also knows the commercial
side of salmon fishing as for the
past several years he owned and
handled a reef-net fishery for sal
mon in Bellingham waters.
LAS soon as I get caught up on
the back work, l will call in the
sports groups and try to work out
with them and the commercial
men set of regulations to gov
ern closures and limitations of
fishing within Puget Sound" An

Swedish Skiers
May Get Support
From Local SWedes

In an effort to aid the Swedish
skiers and ski-jumpers who will
participate in the world champion
ship events in Aspen, Colorado
and Lake Placid, NY. next year,
several Swedish organizations are
repeatedly planning to stage some
sort of a benefit program in Sc
attic.
Proceeds would be used to help
pay for the expenses of the
Swedish skiers during their stay
in the United States.
The Swedish team is having fl
nancial troubles, not in the least
because of the recent devaluation
of the krona.
Having met recently, the Swed-
ish Businessmen's Association has
declared its intention to assist in
making arrangements for the
benefit program. Other Swedish
EXAMINATIONS, meeting this week
or later, are expected to appoint
committees for the affair. The
Swedish Businessmen have ap-
pointed President Einar Larson
and old-time Skier Allan Gran
strom on their committee.

ers 1900 miles of airlines and is
experiencing a big post war boom
in passenger traffic, growing from

The general pointed out that II
percent of the firms stock is own
ed by the government and that the
governments in all the Nordic
countries have a controlling inter-
est in the various airline compan-
les in each country. The reason,
he said, is that most of the COM
panies have found it difficult to
exist without state support.

Alvin Anderson, New Director
Of Fisheries, Explains Policy

81 do not intend to conduct a
wishy-washy term as director"
said Alvin (Swede) Anderson, the
new State of Washington's Fisher
les Director, in an interview. "As
soon as 1 get my feet on the
ground and make any decisions
1 will fight for them to the last
ditch"
It have been in office only a
week, and with the commercial
season just opening up, l have
been buried to the ears in work.
My chief concern right now is to
see about getting a fair set of reg
ulations both for the commercial
and the sports fishery. Then 1 will
see that these regulations are en-
forced to the letter.
Anderson is a man As years of
age, energetic and with a ready
smile. The Fisheries Department
has been without a permanent di-
rector since Milo Moore's resigna-
ton last year, and there is a mass
of accumulated work to clean up.
1.-The only advice given me by
Governor Langlie," continued An
derson, was to do the best pos
sible job l could for the people of
Washington and to protect the
sports and commercial fisheries.
There isn't any question in my
mind" said Anderson, that the
populations of salmon in our wa
tiers have been going down stead
lily for the past Is years. We face
the task of bringing them back.
My tough problem is not the COM
mercial fishery.
Il can put such controls and
regulations on the commercial men
that the future runs will be main
tanned. But the inroads of civili-
cation have seriously interfered
with habitat in spots such as
Whatcom County, where at least
500 of the spawning beds are
gone. Unless we can overcome this
loss within the next 80 years the
