 Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman commented as follows.
 "Burdick has given excellent service to his agency and to the Territory over a long term of years. Whenever an especially tough job came up. everybody thought of Charlie One of his special assign ments wa9 putting hundreds of boys to work under the Civilian Conservation Corps projects over the Territory in the depression days Of the 1930's. Later he was loaned to the Department of Inter for for a year in 1939-40 to pur- chase the non-natiye-owned rein deer in Arctic Alaska For his work on this job. he received high praise from the Secretary of Interior and on the floor of Congress.
 During World War II he organ ized the Alaska spruce log program at request of the War Production Board to take airplane-quality Sit ka spruce from the Tongass Nat ional Forest.

 Charlie leaves the Forest Serv- ice with the best wishes of all his associates and, believe, with the esteem of the many thousands of Alaskans with whom he has associ- ated both officially and in public activities. My personal view, after working with him for many years on all sorts of projects, is that he is a man of exceptionally high sta ture in thia Territory Mrs. Bur- dick is also well known and has long been very active in commun- ity affairs and in the social life of Juneau.

 THROUGH THE SENTINEL
 PERISCOPE
An He Got One

We have no way of knowing how many editors are privileged 10 sit in their editorial sauctum, look out the window and watch fishermen hauling in the mighty king sal mon. But, being so fortunately sit uated, We can report that chap in the gray dinghy just off the buoy has got something on his line which may well be a prize-winning entree in Nrangelfs 1953 King Salmon Derby which got underway this week. Of course. our man out there may just be one of the gray cod derby boys. an event always run in conjunction with all King Salmon Derbies. The gray cod der by fishermen win no prizes, tangle up their gear learn to use words not usually considered appropriate in the so-called better circles. But, it's fishin' ain't it, and there might be a king on the next cast.
 Of late, we've been perusing the columns of such outdoor writers as Frank Dufresne, Ted Trueblood. Dan Holland Corey Ford and few others who build up quite piece about catching an under sized trout in some brook back of the barn in New Hamphire. It strikes Us that they are all potent ial gray cod derby boys and prob ably would make a fair-to-middlin' showing in our local contest. How ever, if they did happen to hOoh on to a king in WrangelI's big 1853 Derby, Mutt Schwartz or any of the local experts probably would be happy to show them how to land it.
