Game Clubs of County
Release 1875 Raccoons
During Year

The Dickinson County Rod and
Gun Club held its regular month
ly meeting in the court house on
Friday, Oct. 10. One of the main
issues to be discussed was the
restocking of raccoons in the coun
ty.
During the past year the yarf-
Gus Clubs of this county released
about 1875 raccoons. These were
bought under the Pittman-Robin
son Act on $3.50 basis.
Even under these terms, the
raccoons cost approximately Sc
each, including express charges.
Many coon hunters do not belong
to any club which bears this ex-
pense
The Dickinson County Rod &
Gun Club has decided to limit
the number of raccoons that it
will buy during the coming year
in accordance with the number
of coon hunters who share in the
expense of buying them by their
membership dues of 2 year.
Therefore, if you want many
'coons to hunt in the fall of 1852,
by all means join up now with
your local club so your dues viii
go to the purchase of coons.

 AchesOn Outlines Program of Action Fight Communism

WASHINGTON, g-T The ad- ministration has laid down a three-point program of action" designed to combat Communism in Asia and protect the Pacific islands.
 The plan was outlined in part yesterday by President Truman. In filling in details last night, Sec retary of State Acheson urged the nation to "hold a steadfast course in Korea" and steer clear of any idea of extending the conflict there. ...
 Acheson made this plea on the eve of the arrival of Gen. Douglas Macarthur. Macarthur was re- ieved of his Pacific commands when the President decided the Generals policy views were not in accord with his own.
 Acheson, said last night, in a speech to the WOmen'S National

Press Club, that if there is any widening of the Korean fighting the Kremlin and Red China must 'be held responsible.
 "The American people will never choose this course," he de- clared. "They will not fall into the trap of seeming to choose it."
 The projected far eastern pro- gram calls for:
 1. A probable defense arrange ment' among the U. S., Australia and New Zealand.
 2. Increased efforts to help Asian countries strengthen their independence and achieve relief from poverty, by such means as Marshall Plan aid, technical as- sistance and the emergency wheat shipment to India.
 3. Continuing determination to punish aggression in Korea, Ache son said the Communists already have been blocked in their drive for quick victory there.

ALASKA'S FISH AND WILDLIFE
 FAIRBANKS NEWS-MINER


 Albert M. Day. director of the Fish and Widlife Service has told congress that game law admnstra- tion in Alaska is getting worse"
 Mir Day was referring to the pitifully small Der of game law enforcement agents duty in Alaska, and the tiny appropriations his department has received to protect Alaska wildlife.
 Congress- apparently laboring under delusion that Aaskas supply of fish and wldlife is inexhaustibe, has never given the Fish and Wdlife Service the money it needs to operate properly in Alaska.
 For instance, Alaska has exported millions of dol lars worth of fish But today there is not single fish hatchery in the territory replenshng Alaska's supply of game and food fish.
 As result many of the lakes and streams jacent to large cities in the territory longer produce size able catches of fish
 Every state in the union has hatcheries where game fish reared and stocked lakes and streams. But here in Alaska where sport and commercial fishing major industries nothing is being done to replensh supply.
 Due to lack of funds the Fish and Wildfe Service has been able to properly patrol the territory and enforce game laws
 It is fact that game laws have been enforced in the vast areas of Alaska by approximately the same number of agents that patrol the forests of the tiny state of Rhode Island.
 The Fish and Wildlife Service just can't enforce laws all over the territory with handful of agents As result the vast majority of offenses go undetected and the game is being slaughtered.
 As Alaskas population grows, the pressure on fish and game will grow The territory supply of game and military posts and large cities if stringent controls and restocking programs not adopted.
 Unless larger appropriations given the Fish and Wildfe Service and this money put to good use, Alaskas once-abundant supply of game and fish may go the way of the buffalo,

Mixing the old and new in

The contemporary elements were
semi-circular sofas placed at right

carpet, and the method used to
curtain and drape the windows.
All windows were not treated In
the same manner.
