5000 NEGROES
ATTEND
JEHOVAH'S
WITNESSES MEET

NEW YORK - CAMP - Many
sections Of the south were well
represented by Negroes at the.
annual gathering of Jehovah's
Witnesses here last week. This
cult has attracted many Negroes
in all parts of the south and in
other parts of the nation.
About $50 members of the faith
attended the sessions from Rich
mond with a sizeable number Of
Negroes in the group. Norfolk was
well represented by Negro Je-
hovah's Witnesses. A member of
TIE faith said last week that more
than 100 Norfolk Negroes attend
ed.
OF the $4,000 or more Jehovah's
Witnesses who attended the con-
vention here more than 5000 were
Negroes. An estimated 1000 were
from the south. Jehovah's Wit
nesses take seriously the Bible
Passage, aye are my witnesses
saith Jehovah, and ! am Cod"
Isaiah 43:12.
They are also greatly influence
ed by the passage eye shall be
witnesses unto Me unto the
uttermost parts of the earth"
(Acts 1:8).
Jehovah's Witnesses have no
time for racial discrimination or
racial segregation. No one paid
any attention to races, color or
nationality at the convention here
except to extend a warm welcome
to such newcomers. The group
boasts of at least 100000 mem
bers around the world and $4,000
OF more Of these are Negroes.
Jehovah'S Witnesses are under
the direction of the Watch Tower
and Tract Society which has head
quarters in Brooklyn. 1t is gov
erned by group of 402 persons
in % countries.

HELP NEEDED FOR FISH, UNLIMITED
Reprint from Anchorage Daily
 News

Although it is fully realized that every request for funds can not be needed by the legislature, it is regrettable that an $8,00O request by Fish Unlimited" has not been considered.
 Fish Unlimited is a rapidly growing organization of citizens of the Third Division who wish to see Alaska's streams and lakes replenished with game fish. They are sports-loving lot who have decided to do something about the depredations made against game resources of Alaska and are start ing in with game fish. An out growth of the Anchorage Sports mems Association, this particular tangent is destined to become ter ritory-wide before too long.
 Working under advice and counsel of the Alaska Depart ment of Fisheries, Fish Unlimit- ed last year decided to take up as its project in restoring game fish, the construction of small, badly-needed hatchery. To this end they raised $7,900 toward a 5000 goal. They have plans for making up the remaining $11OO and building the hatchery, which will then be turned over to the fisheries department, which has available the technical knowledge for operating such an enterprise.
 To pay the salary of such a person and for few other in- cidentals the department had asked $8,000 from the legislature
 Now it is learned the amount will not be allowed.
 This, of course, sets off a dis astrous chain of events the net result of which is the hatchery will not be built and there will be no progress made toward re. stocking the fresh waters of this area until possibly two years hence at the earliest.
 It seems a great pity that such
The frontiersman., 1953-03-26

enthusiasm and endeavor as ex- hibited by this organization must be dampened and even wasted through lack of the comparative ly small sum involved.
 Without wishing to question the judgment and wisdom of the leg islators who have done such a re- markedly fine job, it is to be hoped they will review the cause of Fish Unlimited and grant the modest request.

Rebuilding Of Beach Makes

more than a million cubic yards
of sand has been taken and

To maintain these large lakes.
and to develop them into addi-

visitors, the five men appointed
by Gov. John S. Battle to direct
the work decided to construct
two 500-foot jettieS, one on either
side of a natural inlet which
connected the lakes with the
ocean.
The jetties will maintain an
open channel between the two

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.-Vis-
itors to this Atlantic Coast re-
sort this summer are in for some
pleasant surprises.
Not. only has the city's storm
damaged beach and Boardwalk
been restored to a point where
its beauty far exceeds that of
years past. but the very work
accomplished in rebuilding the
beach has created, almost with
in the city limits, a saltwater
lake covering a l0-block area.
Within easy walking distance
of the concrete promenade
which fronts the main business
section of the resort. the visitor
is now offered unexcelled fish,
ing, grabbing or boating.
Moneuvering Space
The lakes IL to AZ foot depths
will permit ample maneuvering
space for the heavier craft as
well as for the tacks. turns and
speed runs of the smaller types.
A 10-foot-deep, 250-foot-wide
channel to the ocean will afford
an easy access for deep-sea fish
ing, or for a leisurely look at the
city's 5-mile-long water front.
The resorts newest attraction
came about when engineers
found that to rebuild the city's
beach, sand would have to be
dredged from one location and
pumped to another.
Two 500 Foot Jetties
Lake Rudee and Lake Wesley,
lying at the city's south boun-
darieS, and shallow and Of no
