FISH IMPORTS TO
 HIf INDUSTRY HERE,
 CHAMBER E TOLD

AlhSkd IldllUuJ llSll6TIlcH Will have their income cut in two this year as the result of the importing of vitamin oils from foreign coun- tries, according to an estimation made by Kirk Jones, vice. president of the Washington Laboratories.
 The representative of the vita min producing Seattle company spoke at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon in the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel today.
 over 400 million pounds of fish were imported last year while Amer ican boats lay idle at their ports" |" he said
 The importing of fish liver oils from Japan and South Africa has knocked the Pacific Coast out of the leading position as producer Of Vitamin A, he declared. Prices paid fishermen for hali5ut flyers and viscera will take 50 to S5 percent drop this year, Jones estimated.
 Prices paid for halibut flyers by Jones company last year averaged S2 per pound; viscera brought 52 cents per pound.
 In the past Alaska halibut fish ermen have derived half of their income from selling the liver and viscera of the halibut they caught, but many of the fishermen are not going to bother with the livers this season, he said He based his state ment on opinions he heard at meet ing with alibut vessel owners and deep-sea fishermen.
 Much to Lose
 "The Territory of Alaska has a great deal to lose from the impor- tation of fish liver oils and fish" he said. We can't compete under our standards of living with those cheaply produced produ ,ts.'
 Jones asked for the Chambers help in a move to control the inn portation of the foreign products.
 The Pacific Coast, which formerly produced 65 percent of the worlds vitamin A supply is now producing only l2 percent.
 And the situation isn't inprov- ing" he said.
 Asks For Help
 Although he asked for the help of the Chamber in establishing tariffs and a quota-system to protect the American fisheries industries from the cheap foreign products, Cham Der President Robert Boochever said no action could be taken until the local industries committee had given the matter serious study.
 Jones will meet with the commit tee Saturday noon.
 The minutes of the executive board revealed that the manager of the Juneau Diaries, Inc, had described to the board the "disrup- tive" influence of the sale of Ca- nadian milk is having on the local industry The matter was referred to the local industries committee and a report will be made to the Chamber at its next meeting.
 The Chambers aviation commit tee was assigned to look into the proposed withdrawal of the Civil Aeronautics Authority airfield con- trol staff from the Juneau airport. The withdrawal has been rumored.
 Visitors at today's meeting in- cluded Dory Scudder and Axel Carl son of Ketchikan, William Olson of Anchorage. Steve Homer of Haines, and Larry Fitzpatrick, Edwin C.. Johnson, Ted Oberman and John R. Winther of Juneau.

outdoors with three kids?
Meet a man who did. Next
year he's going to Florida
IF YOU are even mildly alert these winter
IL days, you should have little trouble pick
ing out way to grow old before your time.
There is one method you can practice with
out leaving the precinct in which you vote:
take three small children out for romp in
IA inches of nice, wet snow. If you live in
a section of country where IA inches of snow
is rarity, substitute quicksand. Or better
still, try to escape across the border into
Mexico.
The project generally starts about noon
on Saturday with this silky admonition from
your wife: Either get those children out
from under my feet, or I'm going to start
chewing the wall-to-wall carpet" Her
abrupt tone may seem odd. As far as you've
observed, the children have been perfectly
happy making colored ink in the washing
machine.
The first thing to do is measure the
smaller children carefully. If child
doesn't project at least six inches over
the crest of the snow, he is too
small and will have to he thrown back
into the living room later. Next weigh
the child. The specific gravity of FIVE
year-old changes considerably after an hour
in the snow. Frequently fathers bring home
the wrong children, and the mistake isn't
discovered until they've been thawed out
and claimed as tax deductions.
Out Into the Cold
Try to remain calm while the children are
being weatherproofed Go translate some
thing from the original Greek or build ship
in bottle Compared to the layers nodded
on the outdoor child of today, Admiral Peary
wore shorts and T-shirt in his dash to the
Pole.
After your wife has put away the soldering
tools and kissed you good-by, rope the party
together and set forth. Immediately the
smallest and most-buttoned one will dis
cover that she has marbles in the toe of her
sock. Close your ears to the walls. Now is
the time to tougher up the little tyke for the
hardships of later life.

HOW TO BE A SNOW MAN
by Dick Ashbaugh

Once in the front yard, warn the party
that they must remain in line. Don't forget
the wire around the petunia bed but keep
going straight ahead. Then, picking your
self up out of the petunia bed, saunter care
lessly into the next yard and propose an
entente.-a meeting of the minds.
There are many delightful games children
can play in IA inches of snow. One is called
Smother The Old Guy" or ''Who Asked
Him Over Anyhow" This is perpetrated by
midgets of phenomenal strength who reduce
you to the horizontal plane in the flick of an
eyelash. Then, using the principle of the
lever, they roll you downhill into mulch
heap and leave you for dead. The brave
thing to do is laugh it off and suggest build
ing a snow man.
Old Formula Works
SNOWMAN architecture has changed little
over the years. Society has successfully
resisted such new-fangled ideas as the plastic
or factory-finished snow man. The best
scientific minds have never improved on the
old formula of 80 per cent snow and 10 per
cent mittens.
Mitten-reinforced snow men have been
known to stand far into the spring, when
they were finally dynamited and carted
away by the city. Do not try to improve on
this formula, but send the children into
other yards to gather mittens. They will
undoubtedly find thousands

The Week in Religion
Jehoyoh's Witnesses Turnout
illustrates Growth of Sects

book They Also Believe" reports
that more than 1000 Mormons
each year devote a year or more
at their own expense to spreading
the Mormon gospel.
Mormon Gains Cited.
Such practices on the part of
the Mormons and other religious
sectS, DR.. Braden believes, account
for their generally steady growth
in membership. He points out
that in less than half century
the Mormon membership has
jumped from about 100000 to
over a million.
Generally, members of sects
give higher church contributions
than members of regular denom-
nations.
This is indicated in the latest
statistics issued by the United
Stewardship Council, an official
Protestant agency. The figures
show the Church of the Nazarene
leads all Protestant groups with
per capita contribution of $1,000.
Other Figures Given.
In contrast the individual
Methodist gave $19.16 and the
Presbyterian Church, U. S. A.,
member, $28.56. The Church of
the Nazarene is classified by
Elmer T. Clark in his book, 1.-THE
Small Sects of America" as
sect being transformed into
church.
The Seventh-Day Adventists,
described by DR.. Clark as the
largest of the sects in the millen-
NAL group, made the biggest con-
tribution of any Protestant group
in 1949 for overseas mission work.
With an American membership
of 243,193, the AdventiSts spent
SIS, 185, 209 abroad.

The Week in Religion
Rv RELIGIOUS News Service

New Workers have just seen one
OF the largest religious gatherings
ever held in the city. The eight
day international convention OF
JehoYah'S Witnesses. 1t brought
delegates from Ct countries and
established an all-time attendance
record at Yankee Stadium.
The average daily attendance
was more than 10000. This did
not include about 10000 delegates
housed in tent and trailer city"
in New Jersey who heard the pto-
ceedings by piped-in loud speaker.
On the final day of the conven-
ton 87,195 filled the stadium and
25,215 more heard the speeches
outside.
Utilizing more than 1000 volun-
teers, the Witnesses organized a
tiny self-contained city within the
shadows of the stadium. About
5000 of these, mostly teen-agers
and elderly people took over ga
rage and converted it into an
enormous kitchen turning out TO-
900 meals an hour.
Housing Office Set Up.
Along the lower levels Of the
stadium and in the basement
catacombs they set up a hospital,
a transportation and housing office,
a post Office, sign-painUing shop
and hundreds of refreShment
stands.
A Health Department official
who kept tab on the operations
said: I'm fascinated. I've never
seen any thing run as smoothly as
this before"
The turnout for the Witnesses
convention illustrates the rapid
growth of the religious sectS, par
ticularly in recent years. This
growth has paralleled the steady
membership increases within the
regular religious denominations.
Authorities on the religious sects
attribute their progress to the zeal
of individual members.
In the case of the Jehovah'S
Witnesses, for example, it is gen.
orally conceded that no religious
group displays such persistence in
the sale and distribution Of its
literature.
Free Service Given.
According to statistics in the
Witnesses Yearbook. during the
past year 181 OIL members of the
sect gave 43,842,3 free hours OF
service, distributing and selling
IL million magazines and many
pamphlets and books.
Another example Of the Wit
nesses' enthusiasm was shown at
the convention when 100000 avail
able copies Of a new translation
of the New Testament were sold
out in an hour. Off1cials estimated
a million copies at $3.50 each will
be sold by the end Of the year.
Authorities describe another
common characteristic of the
sects as "a high degree of lay par
ticipation."
Mormonism, as a typical ex-
ample, has less than 35 persons
In the active leadership Of the
