meeting"
 After the war was over, Gron- roos returned to the States via Two Ji1na and Guam and was discharged at Fort Lewis.
 He immediately returned to Alaska. His first job was Field Supervisor of the U. s. Employ ment Service. In 1946 he joined the Veterans Employment Serv- ice, part of the U. S. Depart ment of Labor.
 As this piece is being written, Gronroos has received a big pro- motion into the placement divi- sion of the Alaska Native Service.
 Harold Gronroos was elected the first president of the newly established Gastineau Branch of the University of Alaska Alumni, and he is enthusiastic about the growing number of U. of A. aluns in Southeastern Alaska.
 Our first important function was the testimonial dinner for Andrew Nerland, president of the Board of Regents" Mir. Gronroos declared. ''This event, and other affairs to be staged by our organ ization, will bring the name of the University of Alaska before our young people. We want them to know of the advantages of the Territorial University when they decide on their college careers"

'Dr. Bunnell, I think I can make it if can borrow $35.'
 "Dr. Bunnell took look at me, reached for a pad of counter checks, and said, All right. By the way, what is your name?" And that was my introduction to the President of the U. of A."
 Harold worked for the Univer- sity Food Service, and the com bination of washing dishes and keeping books paid for his month ly board bill. He had switched from Engineering to Business Ad- ministration when he started at the U. of A., and compressed a four-year course into 212 years. That was a right, long grind, let me tell you," he reminisced.
 After graduation in May, 1941, Harold joined the Fairbanks of- flee of the Alaska Territorial En- ployment Service, and gave many a man his job at Ladd Field. In December he was transferred to the Kodiak office; six months later he enlisted in the Army.
 Harold received his commission as Second Lieutenant at the Or dinance School at Aberdeen Prov ing Ground. Maryland, and then was attached to the 91st Division which was being alerted on the West Coast for Far Eastern Duty.
 But Harold's background must have been a deciding factor. In the dead of winter he found him. self at Dawson Creek. B. C., dol ing out ordinance supplies to all points along the Alcan highway.
 Months later his outfit was transferred to Texas. Here, on October IF, 1944, Harold was to Bonnie Jo Gooldy, of Fulton, Missouri, whom he had met in Dawson Creek, where she was attached to the U. s. Army Medical Corps.
 Soon afterwards, Harold left for Seattle, Hawaii, a tour of the points in the Central Pa cific and the campaign at Okin- ava. q found out it really is a small world" Gronroos related.

The big fellow with the big smile, who stands six feet one and tips the beam at 225, is liar old Gronroos, president of the Gastineau Chapter of the Univer- sity of Alaska Alumni Associa- ton. His distinguished high forehead" comes from years of brain work. "A decade ago I was slender and had the finest crew haircut on the University of Alas ka campus" he maintains.
 Harold's earliest memories are of Alaska. His father had worked for August Buschmann when the Port Arthorp cannery was built, and he had many tales to tell of the Northland.
 Harold was born September 29, 1918, at Kirkland, Washington or, to be more exact-at a place locally known as Finn Hill" be- cause of a fine settlement of hearty folk direct from Helsinki. He attended high school in Kirk land, then, at age Is, headed for Alaska.
 He spent the next three sum- mers working with pile driver crews at Skowl Arm Cannery, 5O miles west of Ketchikan on Prince of Wales Island. Winters he at- tended the University of Wash ington where he was enrolled in the School of Engineering.
 The summer of 1888 Gronroos was back in Alaska, this time working for Karl Thiele at the Diamond K Packing Co. at Wran- gell. That season Gronroos de- cided that Alaska was his coun- try and that he was going to stay.
 Harold saved his money to at- tend the University of Alaska, and arrived in College for the second semester in January, 1889. He got along fine until about March l, when his supply of dol lar bills had diminished to the vanishing point.
 Like a lot of other lads on the campus, was inteersted Tn having private chat with Presi- dent Bunnell," Harold said. T had never met him, as he had | been in Juneau for his biennial ! round with the Legislature
 "The first day the President returned to the campus, the line formed on the right" Gronroos said. When my turn came, said. i

Grass Garry Over Takes
Risk Out of Ranching
By DAYID RIYENES. ScS Renge Manager

PLENTY OF WATER and plenty
of feed IN constantly increasing
quantity and improving qualify
that's the happy story of range de-
velopment in the Prairie county CO.
operative state grazing district.
The district was organized under
the grass conservation act in 1889.
1t covers all of Prairie county and
small portion of Dawson county
Ia total area of over 100000 acres.
It has $50 members, most of whom
are running cattle at present The
sheep population is the lowest in the
history of the area, there being only
two or three bands left at this time.
The district has under its control
over 100000 acres of grazing land
about half the area of the county.
Members own or lease high per-
centage of the rest of the area.
Permits Issued
Each year grazing permits are is
sued to the members. Size of the
permits is determined largely by the
condition of the range Every fall,
with the help of soil conservation
service technicians, utiliza-
ton checks of the range are made
to determine the degree of use and
the condition of the grass at the end
Of the grazing season.
In a way, this is betting on the
come that is, guessing the amount
of grass that will grow the follow
ing year, based on what has hap
pened this year. This is not quite as
dangerous as it sounds, however,
because the district operates on the
grass carry-over" basis. It plans to
hold permits at a figure where there
will be a good carry over of grass
from one year to the next so that
much of the risk is taken out Of

AT MISSOULA, Nov. 81, Aber-
deen-Angus selling in annual auction
under the sponsorship of the West
ern Montana Aberdeen-Angus as
sociatiop, sold to a wide area for
good average prices.
The champion bull, bred by Bob
Carson, Poison, and consigned by
Scotty Brown, Missoula, sold to NJ. H.
Zimmerman, Stevensville, at $1,525.
Zimmerman took another bull of
the same breeding from Carson at
1925. Stanwald Knutsen, st. Ignatius,
purchased the reserve champion, an
Invader Pride of Spring Hill bred
bull from the Clyde Bradley, Boze-
man, consignment at $1,250.
But the reserve champion was out
sold twice late in the sale. Knutsen
picked a Carl Stimson, Spring Hill
ranch, Belgrade, bred bull at ST, 300,
and Bud Lake, Missoula, paid the
same price for really top quality
bull from the Green Meadow ranch
Of W. J. Harrer & Sons, Helena.
N Bar ranch, Grass Range, paid
$1,000 for another Harrer bred bull
and Roland Peters, Bynurn, paid
1915 for a G. L. Pasha bull, Boze-
man. Doug and Nancy Dear, Cas-
cade, purchased three good range

ranching in this comparatively dry
area.
It is obvious that this plan pays
dividends. Use checks made this fall
show that most of the range has
been moderately to properly used
and is in very good to excellent
condition. There is enough carry
over of old grass this fall, so that
even if the 1852 summer season pro-
duces poor grass crop, few Of the
members will be hurt. It will be
unnecessary for them to go out Of
the cow business for Lack of forage
or water.
Water Development
Speaking of water-most of this
range area was dry, until just a few
years ago. Now it is comparatively
well watered. During the 'S0s the
federal government carried on an
extensive development program on
the public lands, at which time over
200 stock water reservoirs were
built, about rs wells were drilled,
many others were repaired, springs
were developed and tanks installed
where needed.
Since then the district has taken
over. It not only has assumed the
responsibility for maintenance and
repair of these developments, but
has carried on an extensive pro-
gram of its own, which supplements
existing developments.
One problem has come into the
picture as a result of the districts
policy of protecting and carrying
over grass. The cover is so good after
IL years of management, that rum
off of water has been minimized.
Most of the snow and rain now goes
into the ground, making more and
better grass. The result: Many res
