OLDEST AND RICHEST ALASKA TOWNS SLIGHTED BY
 NATIONAL WRITER

Following is an excerpt from an article titled Alaska" in the cur rent issue of Holiday magazine writ ten by William L. Worden, former war correspondent in the Aleutian Islands who is alleged to have made many tips to the Territory:
 The ship comfortable enough. leaves Seattle or Vancouver, B. C., in the afternoon and until dusk it blows through sea borne traffic. A chart of the waters ahead is dotted with names-Prince Rupert and ketchikan, Metlakatla and Juneau. Nowhere north on this voyage is there another city"
 During the war that correspondent must have worked for a competitive wire service. Our Associated Press has members in Sitka, WrangelI and Petersburg, towns that should have been listed in that paragraph above between MetlakatIa and Juneau. The three towns omitted are not unimportant. Sitka, founded in 1799. Wrangell, founded in 1893, comprise with Kodiak, the three oldest towns in Alaska by 50 to a hundred years.
 Comparing bank statements will show that Petersburg is not only the richest town per capita in Alaska but also in the U S. Bet they don't spend many four bit pieces there this month on Holiday.

 THROUGH THE SENTINEL
 PERISCOPE
Second Glass Citizens

It's bad enough to be considered second class citizens of this great republic. as Alaskans too often are, but to have it thrown in your face is going just a bit beyond the pail of human decency and the principles of freedom and justice" on which the nation was founded.
 Again comes mp in the halls of Congress that perennial old slur against Alaskans, as well as resi- dents of the other Territories, that they are not worth the 25 per cent cost of living allowance granted Federal employees in the Territory. Hung on to the Defense Department bill, as usual, an amendment already has passed the House which would eliminate the differential to resi- dents of the Territory who become employees of the Federal govern ment. It works like this:
 If you were, for example, from Secretary McKay's home state of Oregon and accepted a job with the Federal government in Alaska, you would not only get your transporta- tion guaranteed both ways from the dear old webfoot state but while in Alaska you would get, in addition to your salary, a 25 per cent addi-I tional amount as a cost of living allowance to off set the higher costs of eating and sleeping in the Territory. In addition, of course, you could have your household effects shipped to and from the Territory at Uncles expense.
 Under the amendment, which has been making some headway in Washington, if you were from Pe- tersburg, Wrangell, Juneau, Anchor. age or any other town in the Ter ritory and accepted a job with the Federal government you would not be allowed the 25 per cent differ ential, nor any of the other little niceties afforded residents from the States, such as free transportation, etc. In other words, as a resident of the Territory, you would not be con sidered quite mp to the American level of employees from the States and to heck with you.
 That's the attitude, inspired as usual in the Defense Department where it has originated on several other occasions. It's class distinc- tion of the rankest kind and it is to be hoped that there are enough level heads in the Senate to toss the amendment out the window. It might not be a bad idea to find the great brain who matched up the plot and toss him out the window along with it.
 Alaskans can take it, Senator But Ter, but they are not going to take it lying down.

RATIFICATION OF HALIBUT FISHERIES CONVENTION BEFORE SENATE

The Senate has received for rat ificatiOn a convention between the U. s. and Canada for the preserVa. 'tion of the halibut fishery of the north Pacific Ocean and Boring Sea, signed at Ottawa on March of this year, according to word from Dele gate E. L. Bartlett.
 The new convention contains the four following important changes:
 The commission may establish more than one open season during the year. Because the intensity of fishing has increased in recent years Ito the extent that a catch limit in .one important area which formerly required g months of fishing is now taken in less than 2; there is con-. vincing evidence that utilized or partially utilized stocks of halibut are available on certain of the fish ing grounds after the close of the present short season. It is anticipated that by permitting access to the stocks at more than one period dur. ing the year the yield will be in creased by an estimated 8 per cent or more without damage to the fish. cry.
 2. The commission would be en- larged from to 6 members, 3 from each country.
 3. The name of the commission would be changed to the Interna... tional Pacific Halibut Commission.
 4. The convention contains a pro vision for the exercise of regulatory respecting halibut caught incidentally to fishing for other species of fish during the open sea. Ton as we'll as during the closed.

FRED ANGERMAN WINS CUPBOARD AS FIRST PRIZE IN SALMON DERBY

With a i D pound three ounce king salmon, Fred Angerman won the first Wrangell King Salmon Derby sponsored by the Chamber of Com meree.
 In announcing the prize winner the derby committee issued the fol 1 lowing report:
 The committee feels that Wran- gels first king salmon derby was Ias successful as could be expected for the first attempt in a community as small as ours The committee feels that the dates as chosen for this der by, April 1st to July 18th, ought to be changed for an future derby. It is felt that the opening date ought to be moved up to about the middle Iof March and that the closing date should be set for about the last of June.
 One of the first acts of this com mittee was to collect from local bus .inesses a sum of money as a working fund, with the understanding that las much as possible of these loan donations would be refunded. The committee is pleased to report that. 1t was able to refund all of the $295| thus collected.
 A total of 63 derby tickets were sold, at $5 apiece, bringing in initial receipts of $315. Cash donations in cluded S25 each from Ellis Air Lines and Alaska Coastal Airlines, and S2O! from Stanley Zuern, salesman. This made a total of $385, clear receipts.
 Besides the three generous donors mentioned above, the committee wishes to thank George Gunderson of City Motor Service for the $1OO discount or credit which he allowed on the purchase of the 7.5 Evinrude outboard motor prize for the sea son, and the many local business men who donated many items for the weekly prizes, all of which don ors were mentioned in the Wrangell Sentinel at the time of the weekly awards
 It was the unanimous decision of the committee that the small net balance of $10.7O should be turned over to the General Fund of the WTangell Chamber of Commerce.
 Following is a brief of the money rpppivad and cnort.

New ADB setup

With the resignation of George SundbOrg, the Alaska Development Board has taken on new face Not exactly new to Alaskans but new to ADB.
 Al Anderson, who served for a decade as executive Secretary of the Alaska Miners Association with headquarters in Fairbanks, has been named acting General Manager of the Board and probably will drop the "acting" part one of these days.
 Al first came to Alaska to work for the old Alaska Juneau mine in Juneau. Later he did a stint of sev- eral years in the newspaper business with the now defunct Alaska Daily Press of the capital city. Married to Juneau girl, Mildred Webster, the couple have three children.
 Anderson knows the Territory, is conversant with it's problems and should be a real asset to the deveI- opment board in advancing the in. terests of the Territory.
 Successful Derby

Squeeze Play Cuts
Sales, jewelers. Told
As Convention Ends

All that glitters is not sold,
according to 600 jewelers. and
jewelry manufacturers from the
District. Maryland and Della
ware, who wound up a two-day
convention today the Shoreham
Hotel.
Inroads into retail jewelry
sales have the established re-
taller in a squeeze play" ac-
cording to Oscar Kind, regional
representative of the trade from
Philadelphia.
"Unethical salesmanship, gross
ly exaggerated advertising and
price cutting as practiced by
fly -by-night dealers are cutting
heavily into the reputable deal
er's sales," he said.
Manufacturers Are Target.
Part of the blame should be
placed on lax distributing prac-
ticeS by the manufacturers
Even some of our own retailers
sell some of their overstocked
wares to these unethical dealers,
who then resell the stock at
prices lower than we can match"
he declared.
William Wright, of the Mary
land, Delaware and District
jewelers. Association, outlined
the way to combat such prac-
tlces. "We have to stick together
and somehow convince the manu-
facturers that jewelry for the
retail trade should be sold by
the established retailers, not by
irresponsible firms" he said.
Gross Sales Up.
All was not bad news, how
ever. According to Department
of Commerce figures, the jew
elry industry in America crossed
81, 1000, 900 in 1852, $100 mil
lion more than in 1851.
Mr.. Kind, however, stated that
the average gross return on CAPT.
tai investment has been only
about 2 per cent.
"Our job now" he said, sis to
rebuild the public'S faith in the
established jeweler."
While the men talked busi-
ness, their wives had an audience
with Mrs. Eisenhower at the
White House and presented her
with a specially designed sterling
silver picture frame with pictures
of her grandchildren.
