946 Seals Killed By Two Hunters
 On Siikine FIa!s

Two Wrangell men, employed by the Department of Fisheries this i summer to reduce the hair seal herds on the Stikine river flats, report they killed 946 seals in four months, according to c. L. Ander- son, director of the department. The two men, Cliff Kilkenny and Bert McCay, gave report showing they killed 296 in May, 13l in June, 149 in July, 300 in August, and TO in September. In addition to the hair seals, the two hunters &C., counted for eight wolves.
 Anderson said today that the Stikine river seal control program for 1851 had been successfully com pleted
 Used Rifles , The Stikine and Copper river dis tricts were selected by the depart ment for initial experiments. An derson said it seemed advisable on the Stikine to hire experts with high power rifles.
 This plan proved satisfactory, ]" Anderson said, AS is evident by the results"
 Anderson says the report is im- pOrtant because of it's comparison to previous years when a SC bounty twice as large as that now paid was in effect throughout the Ter ritory. Tn 1850, only 200 hair seals were killed in the Stikine area, al- though this has been judged an area where protection must be given to commercial fisheries.
 During the 1949-51 biennial, when the s6 bounty was applicable, the Territory expended nearly S300,- l coo in payment of seal bounties. Anderson says the greater part of this money was paid out for seal scalps turned in from the northern and western coastal areas where | there are no important commercial fisheries and where the hair seals .are articles of food and commerce.
 Instead of destroying them in these areas" Anderson said, "con- servation measures might be more in order"
 Protect Gill Netting
 According to Anderson, there is ample evidence to show that hair seals> are predators of salmon at the mouths of many streams, es- pecially in rivers having important gill net fisheries.
 The 1851 legislature reduced the hair seal bounty from $6 to $3 and confined the bounty areas largely to those with important salmon fisheries. The legislature appropri- ated $50,000 to be used by the de- partment in localized areas where damage to fisheries was considered the greatest.
 Because of the huge populations of hair seals on the Copper river delta, Anderson pointed out, it is planneH to s.ugment the usual hunting procedure by the use of dynamite bombs. This will be done beginning about the middle of this month, when the last of the salmon runs is completed.

Fire Chief Mili Gives Precautions,
 Fire Prevention

Careless discarding of lighted matches and smoking material was responsible for nearly thirty percent of all fires from known causes over ten-year period, it is officially stated A burning match or to- bacco debris recklessly tossed aside may start a disastrous fire taking heavy toll of lives and property.
 Fire Chief Mill offers a few com mon sense precautions:
 1.-Keep all matches out of reach of the little tots. Matches with easily inflammable heads should be kept in on-combustible contain CTS.
 2.-Eave plenty of ash trays con- veniently placed and keep them clean.
 3.-Anywhere-be sure your light ed matches or smokes are complete ly snuffed cut before discarding them,
 4.-Don't smoke in bed or where No Smoking signs are posted.
 5.-Dont strike matches in closets garages or other places where in- flammable materials, dust or vapors may be ignited.
 Electrical Dangers
 One in ten fires of known causes is of electrical origin. Circuits are designed to carry certain loads. The blowing of fuse is a danger sig nal that the circuit is overloaded or defective.
 The use of a fuse of larger am- perage than that for which the circuit was designed destroys this protective feature. An overload of current may heat the wire to the point of starting a fire. Be sure fuses are of correct amperase for the circuits-15 amperes usually are right, and don't tamper with this safety valve
 More Precautions
 Fire Chief Mill again offers the following precautions:
 1.-Employ a skilled electrician to repair or extend wiring when this is necessary.
 Buy electric appliances and cords bearing the seal or label of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
 3.-Don't string wires under rugs, over hooks, or in any, exposed place. Wear may make them dang erous.
 one out of every four or five fires is caused by faulty chimneys, flues, cooking or heating stoves, furnaces, calessness with fireplaces or hot ashes, or sparks on roofs, etc. Most frequent causes of des- tructive fires in heating plants or appliances are: sub-standard equip ment, incorrect installation and con- struction, lack of care in mainten- ance and unsafe operation.
 Suggestions
 All heating plants, pipes or ap- pIanees should be at least 18 inches away from any wall or burnable

material. Heaters, including stoves should be on insulated metal, cem- ent or other incombugtiDle bases. Walls and ceilings near stoves shouN be protected by asbestos sheeting or other insulating material listed by Underwater Laboratories Inc Consult the local fire ordinance CT building code, Fire Chief Mill or insurance agent for advice, if needed. Don't let that if be the big IF.

SaareIa Reports On Mines 

With no markets in the Terri tory, mining for strategic base minerals is almost at a standstill according to Leo Saarela, Commis- sioner of Mines for the Territory, who returned Monday from a field trip to the Interior At least one chrome property at Red Mountain. Kanai Peninsula, is ready to go into immediate production but as there is no one interested in buy ing chrome in Alaska, the mine is not in operation.
 Other minerals high on the stra- tegic list found in the Interior in- clude antimony, tungsten, copper, zinc, mercury and tin but even development work on known prop critics has dropped off according to Saarela.
 During World War II, federal purchasing agents with authoriza- tion to buy certain strategic min erals were stationed at Anchorage, Nome and Fairbanks. With guar anteed market, properties continued to operate during the war. The program ended in 1944 and in spite of the demand for critical metals. government purchasing has not been resumed.
 Mines Have Problems
 Mining, which ranked as Alaska's . second largest industry in the pre- war economy, is having a difficult time according to Saarela. The high wages paid on construction jobs and the scarcity of experienced help has combined to make an acute labor problem.
 Saarela reported that for the first time this year, many Eskimos were hired by the placer producers. The Eskimos, many of whom have a natural mechanical ability, have been good workers in spite of their inexperience, Saarela reported.
 With the price of gold set at $35 per fine ounce, mine operators are caught in a spiral of rising labor and material costs. Mine employees often have been "shanghied" from mining jobs by men hiring for con- struction jobs and offering higher wages.
 An additional problem this sea son according to Saarela was the shortage of mining equipment re- pair parts. During recent years there has been an increase in the number of two and three man out fits working placer ground with a bulldozer and sluice box These op- erations were seriously hampered this year because of the lack of essential parts.
 This Seasons Operations
 While in the Interior, Saarela and Wiley D. Robinson, assistant coal engineer, visited coal mining prop critics in the Nenana and Matanuska coal fields. The Nenana fields are producing enough coal for the Fair banks area but the Anchorage market could use more coal than is being produced in the nearby Matanuska fields.
 The Fairbanks Exploration Com pany operated five dredges in the Fairbanks mining district and three dredges at Nome. One dredge owned by Callahan Lead and Zinc Corporation is working at Livin- good.
 Almost the only lode mine op- erating in the entire Territory is the Fern Mine in the once famous Willow Creek district. Four or five men are working the lode accord ing to Saarela.
 On the Radovan property at Glacier Creek, diamond drilling on copper deposits started this year. The property is adjacent to the former claims of the Kennecott Corporation in the Copper River country.

UNITED NATIONS CONTINUES
TO WEAKEN

Senators and Congressman In
Washington are talking turkey to
the United Nations, and the senti-
ment keeps growing to cut out that
organization which dragged us into
Korea and pushed us to the front
of a slaughter house.
Senator Taft insists that Con-
gress should place a definite limit
on the number of troops that are
to be sent to Europe. And he says
that policy is more likely to bring
about war than it is to bring about
peace" Anyway the United States
has never been in as bad a mess
as it is today.
WE ARE STILL GETTING
LICKED
The news from Lake Success
coming into Washington is far
from successful" for the United
States over in Korea. More than
Ialf of the go National political
committees of the U. N. General
Assembly have failed to report
victory on our part in that hellish
war. Russia has been trying to
block any actions in the way of
peace. But peace is not around the
corner at this time according to
the statements of fact from Wash
ingtOn.
But here's good news which tells
that the reserves are called up for
rearming Britain in the next three
yeaTs-which will spend 13 billion
dollars.
FOOD PRICES
The prices of some products are
still above permissible ceiling
! levels. If you are going to monkey
with food prices the wholesale and
retail levels must be kept reason
ably high even though the farm
prices do infringe somewhat upon
the family budgets Washington
newspapers have been urging re-
peal of the legal restrictions on con-
troll of the prices of agriculture
commodities. You can't keep the
farmers down Farmers never ap-
prove chiselers.
1t is fair to assume that many
farm products will reach higher
prices unless Congress changes the
requirements of the Defense Pro
duction Act. That act provides that
no ceiling may be put over agri-
cultural commodities below parity
prices, or below the highest prices
received by farmers the middle OF
last year. Ceiling prices for pro-
cessed foods must be high enough
to reflect the ceiling prices of farm
products.

WHO EVER HAD EXCESS
PROFITS?

There is a sort of puzzle going
round about excess profit taxes. In
Washington the Joint House of
Congress passed a three billion dol
lar bill under the above name of
Excess PrOfts-even though it was
a billion dollars less than the
amount requested by the man in
the White House. Bear in mind that
this bill grabs profits from ALL
sources it can reasonably lay it's
hands on. Under the House Bill
it is estimated that only 18 per
cent of all non-financial corpora
tiOns will be subject to excess
profits taxation. Evidently there
are lot of corporations whose
profits are declining.

terday after three years with the
Redskins as a player, player-coach
and assistant coach.
Mont had been returned to the
player list by the Redskins and
was expected to be used as a
substitute quarterback next year.
Mont was one of Maryland's

He coached the freshman Ia
crosse team at Maryland last year.
Mont has been employed as a
sporting goods salesman since the
end of the pro football season.
Maryland still has one vacancy
