End Division Fish
 Inadequate To Support Canneries

WASHINGTON, R-A Alaska's gold-rush country needs most of it's fish and shellfish for it's own use-and has limited resources for commercial fishery develop ment-the fish and wildlife serv- ice concluded today.
 The agency published survey of the Seward Peninsula area, |Kotzebue Sound and several in- land rivers and lakes, conducted by two of it's specialists at Ketchi- kan, Alaska.
 The experts, Norman B. Wigu- toff and Clarence J. Carlson, said that of all the villages in the sur- Ivey, Unalakleet-population 400 gave perhaps the most promise for establishment of a commercial fishery.
 They said the Unalakleet river has comparatively large runs of high-quality salmon, primarily chums, pinks and some silvers, with king salmon apparently in creasing after a decline.
 They said that some years the salmon runs are so heavy that it is impossible to use an outboard- powered umiak or skin boat in the river.
 Also found in the area are gray ling, herring, whitefish, Dolly Warden trout, seal and beluga whale.
 "There appears to be a possi- bility for a small salmon cannery at Unalakleet," they said. The team described as over-op-

Two States Battle
 For End Largest

PHILADELPHIA, R - Penn sylvania and California are run ming a close battle for the honor of being the second largest state in the nation while Philadelphia still holds a margin over Los An geles as being the most populous city, according to incomplete cen sus returns.
 The census bureau announced over the weekend that Pennsyl- vania had grown by 1850 to a preliminary population figure of 10,435, ,965, little more than a ma ternity-year lead over fast grow ing California. The official fig ure for California is not yet out but an Associated Press tabula- ton indicated there are 10, 400 ,OO0 Californians.
 In the battle of cities, Philadel- phia has 2,057,210 residents ac- cording to the latest nose count, while Los Angeles can boast of only 1,954,036.

, timistic a 1929 report by Ralph Browne of the Alaska Develop ment Board, Juneau, that salmon runs in the Nome area were suffi- cient to supply cannery. The men strongly stressed" !! the view that salmon runs in the Nome area are insufficient to SUD- port a cannery operation.
 The report said that:
 1. King crab could be exploited on a limited scale in the Nome area, not canned but in the form of cooled and frozen packaged meat. The crabmeat could be marketed in towns of northern and central Alaska.
 2. Sheefish and whitefish are numerous enough in the Kotzebue area for limited commercial ex- ploitation, but there should be no attempt to market the fish out side of Alaska.
 3. Chum and pink salmon could be canned in limited quantity at Unalakleet, but no attempt should be made to ship the product out side of Alaska. An output of 5000 to 1000 cases could find a ready market in Alaska.
 The report stressed the need for portable water, electric power, cold storage and dry storage fa- cilities at Nome, Kotzebue and Unalakleet.
 It also urged biological and technological studies, and further exploratory fishing in north and central Alaskan waters. And it cautioned that "with a few exceptions, the local fish and shellfish resources are a very inn portant and primary source of food for the native residents"
 The report pointed out also that ] fish are essential for the natives

(Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One) We're all older, and we know only too we'll that war isn't a pie nic. That also, by the way, seems to be the attitude of most of the kids who are signing up.
 "The reason a lot of them don't follow the stories of the Korean fighting too closely is that they know too much about fighting first-hand. They don't talk about the news for the same reason a family watching one of it's mem bers die of cancer doesn't talk too much about the victims suffering.
 "It doesn't mean a lack of sym pathy or interest-just a realiza- tion that talk is cheap, and action is what counts"
 I think this woman's letter she requested that I not use her name-SumS up the way most Americans, old or young, feel to- day about Korea.
 There is a great yearning for peace, a great wish that the issue raised by the North Korean inva- sion had never arisen. But there is also a full-hearted determina- ton to see that issue through, be- cause what we stand for as a peo- pie is at stake.
 Somehow, I wish Joe Stalin in the Kremlin could read that Bos- ton woman's letter-and under stand the sentiment behind it. It might give him something to pom der-an insight into how the American democracy operates.

SEATTLE, (P - Santa Claus started out today, but headed north aboard the Motorship Coastal Monarch.
 Laden with year-round supplies and Christmas gifts for commun- ities north of the Arctic Circle, the Coastal Monarch of the Alaska Steamship Co.,, line is the only Seattle commercial vessel sched- uled to sail the Arctic area this season.
 Lashed to the decks were more than 40 automobiles, consigned to Seward where a buying rush for cars has developed as the result of the Korean war.
 Other ports of call include Un- alaska, Dutch Harbor, Nome, Tel Ter, Wales Shishmaref, Deering, Kiwalik and Kotzebue.
 When anchored off Wales, the ship will be within 20 miles of Russian territory.
 The ship is explained by Milnor Parks. The voyage is expected to take about two months.

The use of eyeglasses to see

director OF public information OF
the American Optometric Associa-

This does not mean that Amer

Modern living in machine age
requires better vision, and the
public has become more conscious
of its need for proper visual care.
Mature did not intend our eyes

OF close work indoors under arti-
fetal light" DR.. Soles said. From
countless generations Of outdoor
ancestors we have inherited vision
best suited TO distant seeing In
natural light.
To-day more Of our critical see
ing must be done within arms
length to read, or to work at q
bench or desk. This calls for near
point focusing. which Is difficult,
especially for older persons. Con-
sequently. we have more visual
problems"
Among the most common short
comings found among the usually
inefficient. according to DR.. Soles.
are the following:
Farsightedness - difficulty In
focusing for reading or other near
point seeing. This problem in
creases rapidly with age, especial
ly after 40.
Nearsightedness - difficulty in
focusing for distant seeing. Among
these cases are many progressive
