Someone To Believe N

Afterwards they talked " she

had seemed 10 withdraw within
herself the moment her mother
entered the room. and now sal
silent on low stool near Greer's
knees.
Looking at Isobel II was hard
TO believe that the shy. almost
gawky girl was the daughter 81
this Suaye. sophisticated. brilliant
woman. And surprisingly Greer
saw that Harriet, too. seemed
strangely iu-at-ease with IsobeI
She rarely spoke directly 70 heI
daughter but made remarks q
Greer which were evidently
meant for Isobel. What q strange
situation and now odd that she
Greer. had never noted Il beforel
Evidently there was q complete
lack Of understanding between
Isobel and her mother. That II
made for the unhappiness Of both
could not be doubted Greer found
herself forgetting her own frou-
bles IN contemplation Of this un-
usual situation
The days passed pleasantly
enough. The two girls drove IN
HarTiet's roadster through the
countryside. taking along picnic
lunch whenever Isohel could pos
sibly persuade Greer 70 do 30.
She was almost entirely shut
of now from the crowd that had
been with her constantly IN the
old days. Jessie Barlow called
her several times and suggested
luf1ching downtown. but Greer,
safe in this peaceful obscurity,
was reluctant TO take up the old
pace again. Arnie came 70 the
apartment several times, SER her
flowers and called on the phone
almost every day. But there was
q subtle difference IN his attitude
toward her. as If he were reluc-
tant TO pierce the wall Of reserve
she had built around herself. Yet
he always assured her of his love
and concern for her.
THEN one day Carolyn Hewitt,
= Armies mother. called on
Greer. She was q tall. aristocratic
looking woman with slightly
hooked nose and q disposition
that went with it. She sat on the
edge Of one Of Harriet's perfect
little chair and spoke in 4 dolor-
Gus tone Of all that had happened

Fisheries Hearings

Hearings on the proposed new fish regulations for next season held here and in various other fishing communities of the Territory the past week, appear to reflect gen. eral sentiment in favor of the plan to reduce trap gear and limit sein- ing areas. General feeling seems to be that previous regulations have been inadequate, or at least unsuc- cssful, and that the new proposal is worth a try. Of course, Alaskans having expressed themselves rather emphatically on the subject in the past, any sort of plan to limit or eliminate fish traps is fairly cer- tain to meet with majority approv- al.

Direct Relief

Elsewhere in today's paper will be found a report from Juneau on the status of the so-ealled relief for distressed fishermen" program, pol- itieally inspired as a result of the poor fishing season.
 It would appear that direct re- lief is taking precedent over the highly publicized public works pro- jects, the latter apparently being in the hopeful" stage Waino Hen drickson, Secretary of Alaska, put it in these words
 We are hopeful of getting work projects going which will relieve distress"

 Been Investigated
 Meanwhile, investigations were centering the political picture in Alaska. While the legislative ex- animation and Investigating com mtteee created by the last legisla- ture is delying into this and that, Senator Joseph Mccarthy of Wis consin. investigator de luxe, is re- ported to have a couple of men in the Territory, Carmine Bellino and Heerbert Hawkins, going into act iyities of government agencies. The old Alaska Field Committee of the Interior Department, Alaska Housing Authority and the Alaska Department of Health are among agencies reported to be under their scrutiny.
 As one member of the .Territory's committee is reported to have told a fellow member: One good probe deserves another.
 In the Mail Box
 The mail brings a letter from Senator Charles Jones of Nome, dean of the Alaska Legislature. Charley served in the first Legisla- ture and was President of the Sen ate in the last one.
 The Senator takes exception to the proposal of his fellow towns men Grant Jackson and Ralph Lo- men to divide the Territory, mak- ing a suggested state out of the First and Third Divisions and leaving the Second and most of the Fourth in Territorial status.
 After 54 years of endeavor to develop this section of Alaska" writes Charley, 'it does not listen good to me and have so expressed myself It may be the attitude of the wife who told her husband what's yours is part mine; what's mine is my own.'"
 In a letter he had written the Nome Nugget, Pioneer Jones prob ably expressed the views of a good many other pioneer Alaskans when he said:
 T resent any attempt to have any of the rights or privileges which were inherent and have been granted to us in the years l have lived in Alaska reduced or taken from me-"

City Council Refuses AT'C Request For
 Phone Gacsfe Increase

Application for a raise in tele- phone rates in Seward, made by Alaska Telephone Corporation, was refused by the City Council last Monday night. The council met in special session 5o rule on the application after a public hearing held March 2,
 Concensus of opinion at the hearing was in opposition to the rate raise until the company can and does furnish better service to the city. Council action fol- lowed the same line of reason ing.
 There has been no indication of company action since the council meeting. Telephone oper- ators, according to their agree ment, w;l he denied their pay hike, which was dependent upon the raise in rates. At the hear ing, considerable complaint was heard on the service given by the company, although personal service of the operators was highly praised, and everyone tried to separate the personal service from complaint against the company.
