 THROUGH THE SENTINEL
Confused may be the word
PERISC0PE



 Eot knowing much about salmon except that a nice piece of mild cured. duly soaked and boiled with a bit of bay leaves, onions and what have you is mighty pal1able. the current situation concerning Anan creek has us a little bafflcd-maybe the right word Is confused.
 Prior To the opening of lhc srin- ing season in the area last Monday. the report was general that there Was little showing of pink salmon in Anau One estimate Was that there wasn't a thousand salmon in the stream Recommendation had been made to the top brass" of the Fish and Wldlife Service that the opening should be delayed until the opening of the rest of the district next Monday. Packers and fishermen were inclined to go along with that one. IT costs money to get ready to go fishing and to get cannery op# eration underway. Once they start, they like 10 keep going; shutdowns and layups are costly.
 But Anan opened and despite the meager reports. a great many pink salmon were taken in the area on Monday and Tuesday. Wednes- day night the Service closed il down; decided there weren't enough fish going up stream 10 allow for seeding
 If there weren't adequate fish in the stream as late as Saturday why open the season on Monday. despite the adverse reports?
 And again. why close is down af ter three days. when a substantial run of pink salmon had revealed it. self in the area by actual hauls?
 At the same time. the Southern district where runs are reported exceptionally light is permitted to remain open. Of course. the fish down that way are more elusive perhaps
 Confused indeed. But surely such state would not apply to the fish cries management?

No Harbor Improvements


 The newly appointed Board of Pc lice Commissioners, who will have jurisdiction over territorial police force, created by the last Legislature to supplant the Highway Patrol was having its first meeting up in Juneau this week and probably would wind Up naming superin tendent 10 head the new agency.
 There was reported to be no dearth of candidates, among them is Frank A. Metcalf, former Highway Engin.u ger who was defeated for reelection last year by Irving Nick Reed of Fairbanks.
 On the new Commission with the Highway Engineer are Attorney General J. Gerald Williams former Senator E. B. Collins of Fairbanks. former Representative J. Simpson MacKinnon of Juneau and William B. Healy of Anchorage.
 The Commission has a neat sum of $9500O0 with which to operate on for the biennium the big DOT. tion of which comes out of the road airfield and harbor fund. probably one of the reasons at least. why there won't be much harbor i'm provement work done in the next couple of years.
 Senator Howard Lyng of Nome who held that money for the main. tenanee of the new police force should come out of the general fund of the Territory. sums 1t up like this in discussing the depletion of ear marked funds:
 One of the most glaring reasons for this chronic depletion lies in the manner in which the newly created Territorial police force is set up and this was also true of it's predecessor. the Territorial Highway Patrol The cost of operating the Territorial DO. lice force for the 1953-55 biennium Is S950,000 of which $200,OOO comes from the general fund of the treasury, while S756 900 is taken from the road. airfield and harbor fund. Just why this latter fund should be stuck with maintaining the Territorial wide police force is beyond my comprehension for it is territorial institution and it's cost should be defrayed by the gen. eral fund of the Territory, just as any other department of government Is maintained.
 When this bill passed the House and came over to the Senate an a. mendment was made to the act so as to move the cost from the road fund to the general fund. The House refused to agree to the change with the result that the act passed the legislature in it's present form.
 If the Senate amendment had pre-. vailed, we would now have this $750,OO0 to spend for roads fields and harbor facilities, where 1t pro perly belongs"
 We trust the new cops stay away from some of the harbor floats in Southeast Alaska which are so badly in need of repair They might fal' through and get their natty new un. forms wet.

dlnary motion picture which
pays belated honor to England's
inventor of the movie camera.
1t is inspired to this brilliant
mosaic of acting not merely out
of gratitude to Friese-Greene but
because he lived a truly dramatic
life.
1t is no more than the deserv-
ing of this singularly human
hero that Sir Laurence Olivier
should play a corner policeman
in Friese Greene's celluloid
biography. And that dozens of
players of almost equal stature
should act touching fragments
of his story in sequences of some
times only a few seconds length.
Friese-Greene, played with
deep and touching warmth by
Robert Donat. was the kind of
man his fellow men could love,
and out of whose story an ir-
resistible film clearly can be
made.

Not since his unforgettable
"Mr. Chips" has Donat been

as in "The Magic Box"
His Friese-Greene. as profiled
In Eric Ambler's screenscript, is

One of the conspicuous
charms of THE Magic Box" is
tnat it makes no effort to mini

merit it shares with the man
himself. The Encyclopedias
which overlooked Friese-Greene
and created the injustice the
film undertakes to correct can
