TVS Checking Station Produces Interesting Data on Caribou Hunt

As of September 4, the fourth day of the season, 136 cari- bou had been taken by total of 565 hunters who checked in at the Lila Lake checking station maintained by the Fish and Wild life Service.
 All of this hunting was done in the Nelchina area, Ed Chatelaine, FWS biologist explained. He said FWS is getting a great deal of information from the voluntary cooperation of hunters this year. The checking station was set up to get information on CD how many hunters go into the Nell china area, CD what kind of trans portation they use, (3) weights and antler measurement of cari- bou, and (4) information on age of caribou taken and whether or not they're getting the food they like. Information on age can be determined from the lower jaw of the caribou, and little plastic bags are given each hunter going into the area for a sample of stomach contents. FWS biologists know what caribou like to eat; what's in their stomachs reveals the condition of the caribou range.
 The Nelchina caribou herd. |hatelaine, said, has produced more caribou for legal hunters than any place else in Alaska. The reason for this is that it is a comparatively stationary herd it doesn't roam far and wide like the Steese herd. Year before last more caribou were killed in the Nelchina area than in all the rest of Alaska. Last year the Steese caribou happened to roam over toward the Steese highway during the season, so more were taken there.
 Shortly after the end of the caribou season September 30, -hatelaine hopes to have his data assembled. He is certain that the figures will interest every hunter in this area.

This was the first city case involving failure to obtain an operating license as provided by the city's licensing ordinance.

LOGS READY FOR NEW UNITED PROTESTANT CHURCH ENTRANCE

Those beautifully squared off logs piled up on the United Pro- testant Church lawn represent the work of many summer evenings for many willing members of the church who donated their time as a part of the church construc- tion program.
 Logging operations were car ried on one evening a week in the Gilman Lindsey woods and later in the Sherrod woods until the requisite number of logs was achieved. Women who went along on the work party, helped by stripping the logs of bark on the site. Gil Lindsey opened up trails into the woods with his bulldozer to facilitate hauling. Two weeks ago five men worked all Satur- day afternoon hauling the felled and stripped logs to the lumber mill. Cut to their proper length, p logs were ready for construc- ton of the new church entrance on the south side.
 Although the logs are ready, it is doubtful that they will be put n their permanent setting before next spring. Enlargement of the basement 10 IuIl slZe, extension ot the heating system, and needed electrical work have first prior ities this fall in the church's over all renovation plan.

Interior work on the new Lazy Mountain Children's Home is be- ing rushed this month in prepara- ton for a Territorial Child Well fare Conference, which will be held there early in October.
 The conference is being plan ned by the Child Welfare division of the Alaska Department of Public Welfare for the purpose of adopting minimum standards for licensing children's homes and foster homes as provided in an enabling act passed by the last Territorial Legislature.
 Rev. Kenneth Hughes said this week that the long job of build ing the home would not be com pleted for another year. Right now the volunteer workers at the home are doing the perfo-taping on the interior walls to conceal the joints of the wall board. He said Bill Ward of Anchorage do- mated 10 days work to this job re- gently and trained some of the boys and men at the home in the art of perfotaping.

NEW YORK R-The steel dis

II may be wishful thinking, but
they believe that by focusing pub

to force government control agen-
cies to speed up their plans for
decontrol. I'LL along the line.
They cite as evidence:
