ROTARIANS HEAR BAKER ON
FISH & WILDLIFE PROBLEMS

Robert Baker, fish and wildlife agent responsible for the End Div isiOn, with permanent headquar- ters in Kotzebue, spoke to the Ro- tarianS on fish and wildlife prob- lens at the clubs noon luncheon Thursday.
 Given an opportunity to ask questions, the RotarianS asked, "Can you seine taout and greyling in streams?" to which he gave a positive "No." Can you seine sal mon?" they asked, to which F. and WE. agent Baker answered, "Yes, but only in the ocean, and that 500 yards from the mouth of a river, when fishing for sale. Salmon, for personal use only, may be seined in streams if the stream is not blocked"
 Rotarians urged that Nome and Snake rivers be used for sport fishing only.
 MT. Baker said that walrus could be taken for food whenever needed, but could not be killed for their ivory only. Asked about ptarmigan, he said that they seemed to be seasonal, and it ap- peared that they were coming back, especially in the Kotzebue area. MT. Baker reported that he [ was anxious to discuss problems of game and fish control with any interested persons.
 James Mclean, Boy Scout mas ter for troop 666 reported that the Saturday Scout-sponsored dance was getting a good ticket sales. The Rotarians were urged again to attend the high school game Thursday evening and by their attendance boost the teams kitty for the forthcoming trip to the Anchorage tourney.

hair in wild disarray, he is hardly ga thing of beauty and a joy for ever". When he isn't restlessly prowling about the house, he's run ming out to be with "the gang" whose approval has suddenly be- come more important to him than that of the adults around him.
 In Childcraft Books, Fritz Redl, Professor of Social Work at Wayne University, Detroit, Michigan, as- sures fearful mothers and exasper- ated fathers of the preadolesccnt that "this temporary disappearance of well-achieved childhood training is but one of the many puzzling, but perfectly normal parts of preado- lescent growth. The best reaction to this behavior is to ignore it." he advises, adding:
 "The most important thing for adults to remember is that the pre- adolescent has to go through this period as part of his normal devei- opment. More than anything else, during this time of his life, he needs understanding from his parents and a feeling of security. Constant nag ging and criticism will only make hin self-conscious and more inclined to cling to his disturbing behavior. !"

SCOUT NEWS

George A. Parks of Juneau, president of the Alaska Council, Boy Scouts of America, today re- leased official membership fig ures for the boy scout organiza- ton in Alaska which reveal tre- mendous growth during 1949. Al though the Alaska Council is com pleting only it's third year of char tered existence in the Territory, it has grown from a membership of several hundred men and boys to its new all-time high of 2l28 for December 31, l949. This com pares with a figure of 1905 for the end of 1948, president Parks reports.
 The present membership of 2l28 is divided among 76 differ ent cub packs, scout troops, and explorer units organized in 32 different communities of Alaska. 625 of the boy members are cub scouts; 710 are boy scouts and explorers in troops; and 1922 of them are explorers in separate ex- plorer units. 601 of the grand to- tai membership are men and Wo- men, registered as leaders, den m O h CTS, committeeman, and board members. Probably the greatest single factor in the boy scout organizations great in crease during 1949 is the enthu- siastic response of Alaska grown ups who offer their time and en- ergy to make this program of character building activities possi- ble for the boys of Alaska" the president said. Incidentally, MT. Parks is a former governor of the Territory, and served for three years as treasurer of the Council, becoming it's second president at the beginning of last year.
 1 The Boy Scouts of America will celebrate it's 50th anniversary Feb. 6 to 12, and president Parks promises that the Alaska Council will have a week of eye-opening activities for Territorial resi- dents, with City Government Days, rallies, courts of honor, window displays, pot-luck din ners, and a dozen other events timed to show Alaskans that these 1527 youngsters between the ages of and Is who belong to the Boy s cOut organization are wide
