Seal Yield Is
 10000 Yearly

COLLEGE, Alaska "The pri- mary annual yield of the Pribilof seal herd seems to have leveled eff at around 10000 skins, taken from young males, so far as possible be- tween Al and 45 inches in length, and mostly three years of age" Johns College, Cambridge, Eng land, in his first report to Dr. Ter ris Moore of the University of AL aska. The report dealt with the re- suits of his research on the Pribilof Islands during the summer of 1949
 Working under a grant from the Arctic Institute of North America with funds provided by the Office of Naval Research, and by the Full bright Avt and the sponsorship of the University of Alaska, Dr. Bert ram further stated that "the pri- mary objectives of the United States government and of the Fur Seal Treaty of 1911 have been full filled. There has been a more than tenfold increase in the seal herd in less than 40 years The present size and value of the fur seal herd is a very real tribute to the wis dom, resourcefulness and skill of the management. That is interna- tionally recognized. Throughout the world there is no comparable achievement in the successful man. agement of any wild stock of ani- mals. The Pribilof seal herd Is the shining example which can spur others in dealing with conserya- tions problems elsewhere"
 Dr. Bertram spent July and part of August, 1949, at the Pribilof Islands, followed by a visit to the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service off, fices and collections at Seattle, and later discussions in Victoria, Van couver, Washington and Montreal
 Tt is with great pleasure and real thanks" concluded Dr. Bertram
 that acknowledge my indebted ness to those who made possible my visit and work last summer"

SOLOS OUTSTANDING

Seldom does a high school have a student musician matching the artistry of Larry Waves, violinist, who played one number. Larry has won honors nationally with his violin and the audience Tuesday understood why. He also did nov city piece on the piano with band accompaniment.
 The bands crack trumpet player, Bob Warren, played one solo and later teamed up with two other trumpet players for a trio. Warren has a smooth. mellow tone that a trumpet player seldom achieves un- til he is many years older.
 Don LaBare on the tuba showed to what heights that instrument can rise as a solo horn.
 One part of the bands repertoire called for a number to be handed them from a local musician in each IOWu, duQ WHICH lhS OdAu pidS 2 from sight. Tuesdays selection was made by Mir. Berg of the WrangeIl High School. Although this was the first time the band had seen the number, they sailed through it like masters. They followed their direc' tor, took up their cues, observed loud and soft signatures and other wise handled their assignments ir manner befitting professional mu sicians.
 After the concert, the bands nine-piece dance orchestra set III shop and gave out with a good grade of tive for the enjoyment of dancers. They played until nearly midnight when the Princess Noraf was ready to depart. The Norah, in cidentally, stayed a couple of hour! extra to permit to band to keep its engagement.

What makes a good band?
 If you heard the Eugene. Ore. High School band Tuesday evening you could draw these conclusions as to what goes into an outstand- ing musical group:
 CD Good musicians.
 CD Good directing.
 (3) Hard work.
 A goodly portion of Wrangell's population turned out shortly after the Princess Norah arrived Tuesday expecting to hear an extra special performance and were not disap- pointed The 32-piece aggregation whose individual ages ranged from 15 to IT years-produced mu- sic that would have been a credit to any college band in the coun- try.
 The youngsters, whose collective Interpretation and skill showed hours of practice sessions, went through a dozen or more numbers under the able direction of Byron Miller, formerly a Juneau band di- ector The selections were well ar ranged and gave each section a chance for individual performance. In a rendition of "The Shooting Of Dan McGrew," narrated by mem Der of the band with band accom- paniment, it was obvious the mu- sicians got as much fun out of go- ing through the number as the au- dience did listening.
