Fish Hearings
 Here Oct. II


 \ hearing for regulations for the 1851 commercial fishing season will be held in Wrangen next Wedies- day. Oct. II, at D. m, at Bjorge's hall. A group of U. S. Fish and Wildlife officials, headed by Il C. ard Baltzo, assistant regional dir eetor for Alaska, will attend At the first hearing. in Kstchi- kan this week, it was the unsni- nous suggestion of representatives of the public that the fall season on chum fishing now limited to six designated areas by general. This. they said, would avoid the present concentration of gear and give everyone a chance at the fall chum run.
 AnotEzr proposed change was that the general season for traps and purse seines be made approXi- mately one week longer than the 1850 season, the dates to be Aug.9 through Sept. 1. Regional Direeto- Clarence Rhode, who conducted the hearings. said this change could be allowed because of the good e- capement in most areas in the cy cle year, 1949. With this is tn possibility of earlier opening of few days for areas known for early pinkG.
 or special interest to trollers was the FWS suggestion to remove restrictions on trolling rom Icy Point to Lituya Bay.
 By the new proposals, seiners would have a chance for greater utilization of the Anan Creek run as the recommendation is to move Anan and Bradfield closed area markers one nautical mile east, coser to the mouth of the creek.
 Proposed regulations affecting the crab fishery would make the crab closure now effective for Sum- ner Strait and Stikine area apply to all Southeast Alaska; to open the fall season Sept. l instead ot 0epl. Ns ho dfOlu IOAAOSAohs anu NO limit eacn crab fish boat to a max mum of 100 traps.

Voters of Wrangell and Peters burg are lined up for a double play in Tuesdays voting series - Nol- an to Locken to Barnes
 James Nolan and Doris Barnes, Wrangells own, already have prov en themselves in Alaska's legisla- tive halls with ecord of home runs for their town and Southeast Alaska in particular.
 AS far as Wrangell is concerned, it was Nolan and Barnes who au- thored the bill to have the towns school bonds cancelled; they were the spark plugs behind the bill which provided for Bishop Rowe hospital receiving 5000 per year for operating expenses. Mrs. Barnes authored a measure which exempts municipally-owned power plants from paying the Territorial fuel tax - a saving of S2,000 an nually to Wrangell.
 A bill which Nolan fought long anl hard for provided for a refund of the fuel tax money to towns in which it is collected for use on floats. It was defeated by a narrow margin.
 Nolan this year is a candidate for the Senate. Last session he was Speaker of the House at the special session and chairman of the power ful ways and means committee in the regular session.
