.rangell Boats
 Rescue 2 Men
 In Stormy Sea

Two Wrangell boats played a spectacular part in sea rescue last Monday afternoon during the high winds which lashed the waters of Clarence Strait.
 At 4:30 p. m. the S6foot troller Eleanor with two men board, Ed mund Williams skipper, and Lars Farstad, sent out a distress call re- porting their craft had capsized and was filling with water. The mes sage was picked up here at the A. R. Brueger cannery and quick ac- tion followed.
 Brueger notified the Charlotte, owned and operated by MT. and Mrs. Chester steear, that the Elea- nor was in distress off Narrow Point.
 The weather was so bad and the seas so high that the Charlotte, it. self, was laying low but proceeded immediately to the Eleanor upon receiving word of it's plight. When they arrived Steear and his wife, who is his crew" made the res cue. Steear, leaving his wife aboard their 30-foot cabin cruiser to direct operations, took off in an outboard through mountainous seas and brought the skiff of the Eleanor in which the two men were fighting the storm, to the Charlotte. The Eleanor had capsized and swamped with only the bow showing above the water.
 In the meantime, Brueger had or- dered his cannery boat, Anna Marie which was in the vicinity, to go to the scene and pick up the men from the Charlotte. Tom Elswick, well known skipper, is captain of the Anna Marie and Olaf Hansen Jr. is a crew member.
 Through still heavy seas, bhe transfer was mado and the Anna Marie took the men to the Ketchi- kan boat Chomley which had picked up the wrecked troller and Waa towing it to Ketchikan.
 Young Hansen, who talked to the men when they came aboard the Anna Marie. said they were wet and cold but their main expression was deep gratitude to Brueger and his men and Steear for their prompt and heroic response. From the time they sent out their distress call it was only 40 minutes until they had been picked up. What could have been tragedy was aYerted by their efforts.

Prospects Dim
 For Extension
 Fishing Season

c. Howard Baltzo, assistant re- gional director of the u. $. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bel Frei- muth, FWS pilot, flew in Wednes- day morning and were in Wrangell several hours while on fish pa trol of this section.
 Baltzo, who is former Wrangell business man, Is stationed aboard the Brant at Ketchikan to watch the fish situation during the season. He left his Juneau headquarters, August 22.
 Asked about fishing conditions, Baltzo said there was "a total blank" in Sumner Strait and to the northward.
 Areas to the south of Wrangsll. he said, are better with fish show ing up in spots but when question ed about an extension of the sea- son, which closes Saturday, he said he was mot optimistic about an extension unless the fish show sur prisingly better"
 During the storms of last week end, Baltzo reported, run of pink salmon worked it's way through to the north end of Clarence Strait but in no appreciable numbers This was due, probably, to the fact that most Of the fish traps in that area were disabled by the storm, allow ing the fish to pass by.
 Baltzo said there has been a good escapement of chums and a fair escapement of pinks in the streams to the northward and along the mainland that custOmarily have their runs in July or early August. He repeated that an extension in the season could be granted only if the fall run, which is now overdue, appears in surprising volume Chances for that occurring are best on the West Coast.
 Baltzo concluded by saying that the only streams in the Wrangell area which are known to have had an adequate escapement are Anan, Crittenden and Snake Creeks.

A request which could boil into first-rate controversy has been tossed to the Territorial Board of Education. 4 sectarian school and home in thu territory has asked for the establishment Of a territorial school at It's location with the pro vision that Sisters be employed as teacherA To date, the request has been turned down. Offer has been made to establish the school, but with employment of regular teach CTS hired by the Department of Ed ucation as for other public schools. Fear is that employment of siaters as instructors would bring up the religious issue in the public school system, although there isn't any thing in Alaska law to prohibit it.

With the fishing season closing tomorrow the outlook was far from bright. To date it appeared to be 8 poor year. Fish and Wildlife of ficiala reported it was almost "a washout in the north end of South east. Best area was the Ketchikan district. There were requests for an extension but unless there was 8 better showing of fish extensions were not likely It began to look as if Southeastern Alaska, 80 far as commercial fishing was concerned, would have to fall back on the old gag-the greatest next year coun- try on earth. Actually, there was a good escapement from the streams in 1949, one of the best in several years. The two-year cycle hump back salmon might come back in '61. Apparently they were staying with relatives some place at sea in this off year of 1850.

While the pink salmon were shy ing away from the can this season, their frozen brethren were sched- uled to go deluxe. Alaska Steam this week had asked for a boost of 20 per cent in the rate on frozen fish going south, effective today
 Meanwhile, the company had an- nounced a reduction in passenger rates for Alaskans going south after the season. Yep" quipped a com pany spokesman, "the rate is going up on fish and down on people,"
 The sharp, suddenly announced frozen fish rate raise, however, waa causing a storm of protest. Cham bers of Commerce, fish buyers and private citizens were vigorously protesting the increase to the Mari time Commission on grounds that 1t was being granted without hear. ing. The company countered that fl had applied for the rate increase according to the regular procedure of 30 days notice and that it was the first raise on frozen fish since 1s44. In the last several year, rates on other commodities hay, gone up from 15 to as high as II Der cent. High prices in Alaska ar, often credited to the high freigh
