Bush Pilots Get 5 Year Exemption

Washington (R) - Alaskan "bush pilots' will be permit ted to operate for five years without Civil Aeronautics Board regulations, Delegate B. L. Bartlett said recently.
 An order from the CAB ex- empting pilot-owners from regulations. he said, will be is- sued next week, effective until Dec. 31, 1856.
 The new regulation provides that a pilot-owner who holds a commercial or airline pilots license may operate his own plane with a capacity of not more than four passengers, without regulations.
 However, the pilot-owner i will be required to obtain a non-scheduled air carrier oper- ating certificate from the board.

FWS May
 Close AIitak

The Fish and Wildlife Ser, lvice will recommend that the Alitak District be closed to all commercial fishing for a five Iyear period, Richard Shuman, FWS representative, announc- I ed Monday night.
 Earlier the FWS announced that it would recommend that the eastern portion of Olga Bay be left open. The annual fisheries hearing was well attended Monday and statements from several fishermen were recorded on a wire recorder.
 A proposal that the Karluk district be open for a longer period than earlier announced will be made, Shuman said.
 Gill net fishing will be pro- hibited in all of the Kodiak area for the coming year and the Red River District will be closed for five years.
 Buck Hoylman, fisherman in the Alikak District, and Pat Cannon, president of the United Fishermen of Alaska, made statements.
 Graphs and charts showing the decline of salmon in the Red River and Alitak districts. were shown by Shuman.
 Closing of the Red River and Alitak districts appears to be an unwanted necessity . . the prohibition of drift gill nets is proposed cnly to pre- vent the expansion of fishing effort in an area which is al- ready suffering from over ex- ploitation," " Shuman said.
 r. J. Gilmore, Alaska Sal mon Industry representative, attended the meeting. He ar- rived here Saturday from Ju- neau.
 Shuman recommended that Cannon submit a written statement to the FWS before Nov. 20. Cannon agreed to do so.
 A hearing was held in An chorage Thursday. The Cor dova hearing is scheduled for Monday.
 For the first time in history the FWS will wind up it's an- nual hearings in Alaska in- stead of Seattle. The last meeting is set for Nov. l5 in Juneau.

These ants belong to the genus
camponotus. Wood-carving is theil
trade, hobby and place of habitation
Inspect felled tree-one that
shows decay-and you will discove,
the family nest with its paper-thir
partitions, nurseries, kindergartens
and the chamber of the queen. Bur
you may uncover a bridal party
ready to take off into the blue, if YOU
happen along in July.
When disturbed the worker ants
race madly toward the younger
brood. To the ant the babies and
eggs are the wealth of their nation
to be saved at any cost. The strong
jaws grasp the egg of infant anc
struggle over others eager to save
their wealth. The brood is quickly
placed in a gallery felt to be safe
from attack and guards placed a,

During peaceful times, the nurses

South made his redoubled con-
tract without difficulty. Since East
West could have made five clubs
on the natural heart lead by North,
the swing" was about l,700 points
against them!
When it was all over, East took
West bitterly to task for horrible"
three-spade bid, insisting that West
should have kept on passing in view
OF the minimum nature of his OPEN
ing bid. 'If you'd had the spade
ace, as I had every right to ex-
pect." East said, "I could have
gotten in spade ruff to beat the
contract"
1t is true that on a pure evalua-
ton basis West was aggressive inI
bidding three spades over three
hearts, but it was EaSt's fault, ex-
cluSively, that the outcome should
have been so unpleasant to his side
The easy and correct development
of the East-West bidding was virtu-
ally blocked by East's absurd pass
on the first round. East planned,
OF course, to do a great deal of
bidding later, but the effect of his
pass was to plant an entirely mis-
taken idea in his partners mind.
Thus, West was reconciled to STEP
ping aside when, East having passed.
South made the jump bid of two
hearts, but when East then COM
peted with three clubs, West had a
faint ray of hope. His three-spade
call over three hearts was not a
strong bid-it was a purely tentative
effort to find a fitting spade suit,
and West intended, of course, to 60
back to clubs in case of trouble.
Most certainly, West did not expect
East to double four hearts, or, hav-
Ing doubled and been redoubled, to
stand that contract when East had
such magnificent runout to five
clubs

the best way to keep the air clearer
in a hot apartment: # you do not
wish to purchase the aluminium
containers for water which have
hangers to hook over the radia-
tors, keep a dish of water on top
of the radiator; would advise
painting the inside Of the alumni
mum receptacles. as ours have
rusted quite badly: we have used
them for several years. Also, first
thing every morning and every
afternoon. I open all of the win
dows and with a heavy piece OF
cardboard go through each room
tanning out all stale air; this is
especially important in the after
noon. SO that when we all congre-
gate in the living room at night,
we have fresh air, plenty of oxy-
gen for every one.
II the lady who was concerned
about the cord for her chimes, my
chimes have a cord which resem-
hles rug yarn and each of my oval
chimes has a large metal ring,
both inside and outside, to attach
the cord to. so if you do not sus-
pend them too close to each other,
they should respond very nicely to
the striking mallet.
To the lady who complained
about a pie sticking to the edge of
her pie plate: I judge from her
saying that she had creased the
plate thoroughly. that she did not
know that the grease in the pie
crust is sufficient to keep the crust
from adhering to the plate and her
greasing the plate may be the
cause of its sticking. About pre-
caution to avoid juice running over
onto the oven If, before placing
juicy fruit or any that is liable to
become very juicy. you sprinkle
the lower crust well with flour
especially all around the side oi
the pan where it Joins the bot
tom; then as the juice forms, the
flour on the bottom will thicker
it and prevent boiling over.
