Many Charges

If caught, this person should not get the book but the whole library thrown at him.
 Shooting a doe is illegal anytime but shooting one out of deer sea- son is worse. Add to this that the deer was killed on a game reserve It is also illegal to shot any animal from or on highway or shoot any game animal from a moving vehi- cle..
 It is certainly against the moral code of the most primative hunter 10 waste meat and destroy game animals.
 This destruction of our game an- imals is in effect theft from the community and We should lend ev- cry effort to see that such persons are caught and convicted for their crimes.

 The statement by Nolan fol- lowed a motion by Tom Stew art of Juneau to adopt tae heavily-loade6 report of the nominations committee, thu. cutting off further nomina- tions from the floor.
 We've nomina.el om the floor in every convention for 40 years, sad Nolan This amounts to oloture. Il it car ries, you've seen the last of me for long time.
 Vote on the motion was 126 for and 68 against, but chair man Peratrovich declared the motion lost for lack of a two thirds majority,
 Specific objection to the nominations by the committee, aside from their loaded char aoter, was that Wrangell and Petersburg were left without delegates to the Territorial convention.

INFORMATION ASKED ON MAN REPORTED MISSING

An urgent call from the Univer- sity of Alaska asks aid in trying to trace the whereabouts of Ed Hizer who was a student there.
 The student body of the school has had two frantic letters from his parents who have not heard from him since early summer.
 Hizer left Juneau some time in June with the intention of going to Petersburg to try to get on a fishing boat for the summer, or possibly go to Prince William Sound on hair seal control. No word has been heard from him since, either by his parents or his friends in Juneau. He has not re turned to his classes at the Uni versity as he planned to do.
 If any Petersburg friends know what his movements were when he reached that town, or any other details, it would be appreciated if they would write to The Sentinel or to Mrs. Edwin Coonjohn, Box 622, College, Alaska. Such informa- tion will be given the student body which will contact the worried parents in the east.
