ARCHAEOLOGY STUDY PLANS THIRD TRY ATT SIBERIA MIGRATION

ANDOVER, Mass. Jan. 3-lR- Archeologists are getting ready for another expedition to the Yukon to look for evidence that Indians migrated from Siberia across the Boring Strait and thus moved down through the American continents.
 Frederick Johnson, Curator of the Peabody Foundation for Arch eology at Phillips Academy, said today that plans for the expedi- tion are already being made, al- though no date has been set yet.
 The projected study will be the third made in the Yukon since 1944. The first was sponsored by the Peabody Foundation; the se- cond, in 1948, by the Viking Fund, and the American Philosophical Society and the Arctic Institute.
 Johnson said these expeditions brought back definite proof of the migrations. This proof consisted, he said, of crude instruments dat ing from 5000 to 5000 B. C., some of them tiny prismatic flakes used as knife blades. Such articles, he said, have been found throughout northern Asia and even in Flu rope, and many have been found on this continent, distributed from Alaska south into British Columbia

BRITISH FINANCES. REPORTED IMPROVED

~-~DO~--~~N~%
 An informed London source re- ported today the British Labor gov ernment has plugged up the per- sistent drain on Britains fund of American dollars.

ROTARY AND LION
 CLUBS JOIN FOR
 FIRST 50 MEETING

Eighty-two Juneau service club members attended the luncheon program in the Baranof Gold Room today, but they were members of two clubs, not just one.

 Two presidents made announce ments for their groups; two song directors combined forces and en- thusiasm; two rosters of officers were listed in the Rotary publica- ton, The Windjammer, which also took a bow to the Lions new sheet, The Cats Meow"

 His comprehensive speech on Coast Guard activities pointed out that this is a seagoing organiza- ton with responsibility of numer- ous and varied duties, chiefly in connection with shipping and fish ing activities. The Coast Guard serves in the waters that break on 26,OOO miles of coastline-a distance equivalent to that circling the world
 Captain Haugen listed eleven spe- cific duties in Alaska, from life saving and medical and surgical aid, to marine disaster investlga- tions and destruction of navigation Instructions; enforcement of the Whaling Treaty Act, customs reve- nue laws and other measures, as well as operation and maintenance of 1,124 aids to navigation.
 He included discussion of prob lems of terrain and sea, the in- crease of year-around Coast Guard air and surface navigation reach ing to the Arctic and to the Orient, and a quick inventory of Coast Guard equipment and personnel in Alaska

OF all the interesting expert
ences which I have had since my
family moved to Japan. enjoyed
most seeing the thread being made
which goes into beautiful silk
clothes.
The silk factory which my FAM
lily all visited is at Koizumi. We
were given a very thorough tour
of this place.
First, we went to the silkworm
selection room, where they have
all the cocoons. A woman there
separated the good ones from the
bad. If a cocoon had a brown or
black mark, it was discarded. The
woman put the cocoons on an
electric light for the selection. The
good ones looked like little white
peanuts, the bad ones like brown
coal. ~ 4
After this, we went to the boil
ing room. There they had cocoons
in boiling water. The water was
so hot that you could see through
the cocoons. After they were
taken out Of the water, they were
put in a bowl and stirred with a
brush to make the silk come OF
Sometimes, the workers get as
much as 800 yards OF silk from one
cocoon.
Next. we went to a dark room
where the silk was put on wood
en- board. When removed from the
board, the silk was taken into
another room and wound on
spools about Is inches long. These
were turned until the silk was
dry and strong.
After this, we went to the
twisting room, where the silk was
twisted by hand and by machine.
The last step in the process was
the packing room. Here the silk
was packed in skeins-28 packs
to a bundle. Each pack and each
bundle had a seal on it. This silk
thread was shipped to be dyed and
made into clothes.

been posted on all streams In the
park area.
There still are some sizeable
trout to be taken from streams of
this area. The waters have been
unusually low the past fortnight,
and as a consequence the fish
have been wary. Considerable
finesse is needed to entice them,
one not only should lengthen the
usual leader. but taper it down to
at least Ak, with SIX tippets even
better. Keep hidden if you can
and approach the stream as
quietly as possible. Be sure your
shadow does not stretch over the
pool. Keep out of the water as
much as you can. Follow these
simple, yet hard-to-obey instruc-
tions, and we feel sure your
chances will be greatly enhanced.
We also suggest smaller flies along
with the finer tipped leader.
Now that the Maryland bass
and crappie season is opened. We
have many requests from anglers
about places to go fishing. What
could be one of the incest spots
Imaginable, Triadelphia Reservoir,
is marred somewhat for most
anglers by the lack of boat facili-
ties. Ever since the lake was
created as a fresh water reservoir
by the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission, there has
been talk of having rowboats
eventually to rent. There aren't
any so far. Seems to us this would
be lucrative chance for some
enterprising man able to sell the
Commission on the idea.
Boats for rent would more than
pay for their original cost in the
first season, if the number of in
quiries we have is a criterion,
and over a period of years yield
handsome income. We do not
know just why boats for rent have
not been forthcoming. We dc
know that this lovely body OF
water could be made into de-
lightful recreation spot with
proper management and fish pop
ulation control. AS it is, 1t Is de-
generating rapidly into just an
other big pond full of crappie
Dream and yellow perch, and con-
tanning relatively few big bass
which are so gorged with food
that one is rarely caught.

There are areas in which Eski-

Among the dogs Of the world
there are few breeds if any which
are as close to nature as the dogs
of the Eskimos. The people of the
Northland use dogs as beasts of
burden.
There are several breeds of
Eskimo dogs. Those which are
most common in North America
are close. to wolves. Like wolves,
these Eskimo dogs are without the
power of barking.
Eskimo dogs have. fur Of. several
shades, including black, white and
gray. There are some with brown
or yellowish hair. Often a dog
has several shades or colors.
The dogs are trained to the
harness by their Eskimo masters.
In different areas they are har-
