FWS Release 1853 Fish Pack For Kodiak island

The total salmon pack o1 cases in the Kodiak district for the 1853 comma ercia salm on fishing season was 356, POI, the local office of the Fish a nd Wildlife Service, revealed this week. The total case pack in- eludes Reds, Kings. Pinks, Chums and Cohoes.
 A heavy case pack of Pinks, over the past two year cycles, was shown in the figures given the MIRROR Thursday by Roy Lindsley, Kodiak fisheries agent.
 The case pack on pinks, for 1853 is 272,71 In 1851 the case pack on Pinks was 126,077 cases and in l949 the case pack on Pinks was 2O8, 395. It was explained that the Pink salmon are a two year cycle fish.
 Generally, the run of fish in the Kodiak area was fair. However, the run of Pink salmon in the entire area of Alaska was not up to expecta- tions of FWS representatives and fishermen.
 Fish caught in the Kodi ak area and packed by cannin g companies break down to the following according to FWS figures: Pacific American Fisheries: Red salmon, 8,949; King, 110; Pinks. 76, 444;; Chums, 9,081; Cohoes, 388. The above are case pack fig ures as are the following: Libby, McNeill and Libby, Red salmon, 4,O06; Kings, 27; Pinks, 27,832; Chums, 2,S31; Cohoes, 19. Kadiak Fisheries, Reds, 6,442; Kings, 50; Pinks, 78,573; Chums, 16,329; Co., hoes, 931.
 Ouzinkie Packing Corpora tion showed a total of 39, 157 cases for all species of fish. San Juan Packing Company reported a total of 81, ,075 cases on all species. Others were West Point Cannery. total cases, 2,O62, Island Seafoods, 4,866 cases.
 Kadiak Fisheries, San Juan, 0uzinkie Packing and Libby, McNeill and Libby also ean- ned fish locally that were caught in Cook Inlet.
 Escapement figures released by the locol FWS show that the probability of further salmon runs will be good. Lo- cal representatives believe that the current escapement of salmon will insure heavy runs in the years to come.
 Il believe the 1853 escape ment of salmon is a marked gain and shows good signs of future runs," Lindsley said.
 As of August 22 the karluk eseapement of salmon was

1T looks like hokuS-pocus to me-"
Dave Smith said to Father Crane.
Dave was expressing a quite
common view held by many non
Catholics. i. that the Catholic use
ofsuch articles as beads, uucifixes,
medals and holy water is ynneces-
sary in religion and even smacks
Of pagan superstition
What good does it d." Dave
asked, to light a candle or burn
incense? And how can a itde
medal around my neck protect me
from accidens?"
unfortunately, too many Peo-
pie outside the Catholic Faith
have a complete misunderstood
ing of these religious articles and
the use to which they are put.
There is nothing pagan or super
stitious about them, and they do
have a very real religious meaning
and value.
Actually" Father Crane told
Dave, religious articles used by
Catholics are meant to be helps to
their religious ife-nothing more.
The value of such articles, is not
in the metal, wood or wax of
which they are made, nor in the
form they may have but in the
prayer of the Church and of
Christ, in whose name the Church
prays in blessing them =. as well
as the fervor of the users own
prayer and his good disposition"
But Dave was still not con-
WINGED. He argued that religion is
a spiritual thing that it re-
quireS no external manifestations.
Yes" the priest agreed, 1T is
spiritual. But isn't it the natural

thing for a human being to give
outward expression to the things
within his heart? How, for exam
pie, could you be sure that your
mother loved you if she gave no
sign that she did,"
Our Lord, Father Crane added,
could have cured the blind man
(John $50 merely by willing it.
Insoead, he first made a Salve of
clay and anointed the mans eyes.
In blessing little children, He did
not have to lay His Hands on them
but he did. Many people, Father
Crane added, think the Catholic
practice of kneeling to pray is
unnecessary. yet Jesus. in the
Garden of Gethsemane, 'kneeIing
down began to pray" (Luke
22:41).
Many Catholic practices which
seem strange to you now, would
make a deep and convincing i'm
preston upon your mind and
heart if you really understood
them. And this is your invitation
to investigate.

A Diagnosis Of Soviet Purges
In Form and Sequence, They Resemble Those Of 30s;
Involvement of Jews Is By-Product of Overall Aim

Information reaching here
from Europe supports the con-
tention of this column that
the new reign of panic and
terror accompanying purges
behind the.Iron Curtain is not
directed specifically against
Jews, but indicates a vast
shake-up in the Communist
apparatus, especially that of
the satellite states. The in
volvement Of many Jews is a
by-product of a much larger
process.
Stalin's power rests on three
pillars: The party, the po-
litical police and the army.
In the great trials of the
thirties. each in turn under
went a purge, for the purpose
Of consolidating power.
The occasion for the purges
was then, as we believe now,
apprehension Of war. They
started almost simultaneously
with Hitler's occupation of the
Rhineland, and were COM
pleted by the time Hitler oc-
cupied Austria. Stain con-
solidated his power when he
saw the threat Of war ap-
preaching, with the increase
Of Germany's military strength:
Today's situation is similar.
The Republican advent to
power has introduced a new
factor into the world political
situation. The new admins
tration has clearly indicated
that it intends to take the
initiative and step up the cold
war. The Russian response is
to get rid of everyone who may
be suspected of having West
ern sympathies, including
holdovers from the war and
early postwar period when a
certain amount of collabora-
ton with the West was the
party line In short, what is
happening here is reflected in
