 Thirty-four of the Community Eouse stock olders, representing CT rol the 94 outstanding shares oi
 tock. met Wednesday for the an |nual report of the Board of Direc- tors and for the election of new officers. The meeting was lengthy enc, boiling down to two main points, first, that in spite of ob- stacles. the Director has managed to ksep the building operating and available for use, with no ontstand- ing eills at the end of the year; and second, that though Don Forester, manager, had not made anything like an adequate salary during his tllree months employment, he was still willing to continue under his original contract and felt optimistic for the coming year.
 Of the 1948 Directors, Mrs. Roy Ayrit and Jack Calvin had two years remaining of their three year term and Clyde Hager had one year of his two year term. Stockton Webb was reelected for a three year term, Theron Cole for a two year term, and Glare Swenson, one year. New officers were Ernest Som mers, three years, and Charles Pet eyson, one year.
 At the Directors meeting follow .ny the stockholders meeting, Jack Calvin was elected president; Clyde Eager. vice-president; Clare Sven son, secretary, and Helen Tager treasurer. The directors accepted gratefully Pete Haugen's offer ol leo unoreakable cups as a gift flona the Marine Supply Co.,, and after some routine dis ussion adjourned after the president had appointed new directors sonnlers and Peterson to clSan the furnace.
 At the meeting of the Rotary Club Tuesday 1t was voted to ask the Fish and Wildlife Service to declare q che year open season on noun tain goat on Baranof Island, and to open the deer season two weeks earlier than in previous years. Both aetiors came as result Of motions made by Jack Calvin who pointed oua that the goats had never been hunted since they were placed or the island ranges 15 years ago, and that since the animals stayed well 6aek in rough country, there was not any great danger of the herd being depleted by the few hardy hunters who would go back afte. them. MT. Calvin said the same ap- piled to opening the deer season two week earlier. providing a "toughen- Ing ID" period for hunters without eothering the deer particularly

our highways is tremendous. and
actually an extravagant waste Of
one of our most valuable natural
resources. The State of Pennsyl-
vania. whose highway employees
report such incidents. advises that
during last year at least $4,000
wild animals were victims OF motor
traffic. This is the actual number
counted. not estimated. Every State
in the Union has similar problem.
There Is no need to endanger
human life by slapping on the
brakes to avoid hitting a dodging
rabbit or some other species Of
game. However. If motorists will
just be a trifle more conscious Of
such a possibility and keep a sharp
outlook for wildlife. especially in
game country. most of the cas-
ualties can be avoided.
There is also a temptation for
persons coming upon young wild
animals or birds to want to fon-
die them. or even take them home
as pets. If you are really fond of
young wild creatures, this is about
the very worst thing you can do.

Most animals VIII abandon their
young II the human odor Is de-
tected upon them. and It is against
the law In nearly all States 10
have in possession wild bird or
animal without a permit. The fact
that you find a young animal or
bird alone. is no evidence that 1t
has been abandoned or left on
orphan. The approach of humans
often causes the parent or parents
TO hide temporarily. They will re-
turn to their young when they
consider the danger Of your pres
ence past. The kind thing TO do.
therefore. is TO leave the young
wild creatures alone.
While we are on the subject Of
being kind TO young animals. per-
haps it may not be amlss to take
some thought of the safety Of our
own little ones. as well as our
selves. This is brought to mind by
the report Of q rather small skiff
powered with an outboard motor.
and containing a lone angler
fishing for hardhead over at the
Gooses at night. OF course, every
one has his own ideas about
things, but II blow had arisen
that angler would have been in
deep trouble and probably de-
pendent for his life upon the pres
ence of larger boats. Small boat
anglers should use discretion.
Don't overload a skif with young
sters and adults. Two adults to a
14-foot skiff Is plenty. Don't ven-
ture too far offshore in o small
boat. And be particularly careful
fishing from q small boat with
aboard. A safe bet is
to tie them in the boat. and make
sure you have ample life pre-
servers. t4o.- 3aatJ>i
