Teen Talk
Sitters VS. Sittees
BY VIVIAN BROWN

Baby sitting is a mighty lucra-
tive profession for young or old.
Work is easy to come by, provides
good pay and gives a nice change
OF indoor scenery.
1t is not always a peachie as
Signment for sitter, however. And
NOM finds fault too. Sometimes
the complaints are legitimate.
Here are some that both sides
might consider. Says one sitter:
i've been sitting at Mrs. Jones'
house for 5 years. She gives me
instructions when she leaves and
the telephone number where she
can be reached. I have emergency
numbers for doctors, firemen, pol
icen1en, neighbors. But still she
calls me about every 10 minutes
usually waking the children up. l
just about get them to sleep ard
relax when b-r-r-r, the bell again"
On the other hand a mother
offers this,
"Whenver l leave the sitter ]
ask her to please take telephone
messages. When I return she will
say something like your sister is
i'll and they want you to call right
away" l have five sisters scatter
ed all over the globe so I don't
have the faintest idea where the
call originated.
A young sitter has this to say
"One couple am very fond o
tempts me to quit them cold. The!
tell me they will be home at nine
o'clock and show up at twelve
This is unfair, especially when
have to go to school the next day
They don't even bother to call m
saying they will be late"
Here's a pet peeve from anothe
mother. ..

Plan Use (1f Lakes For Fish Bearings

Maximum utilization of fish rear ing facilities in the lakes of the Territory is under study by the AL aska Fisheries Board, according to word received from J. H. Wake field, Chairman of the Board. Re mobilization techniques, successful ly employed by the various states in game fish production, are being used by the Alaskan Department Of Fisheries in both game fish and commercial fisheries research and management.
 The lake rehabilitation program entails the process of killing an un- desirable fish population in a lake by the use of fish toxicant, aI- lowing the lake to remain fallow until the toxicant has dissipated and stocking the lake with trout or salmon. The program insures full use of the potential fish production of lake by the elimination of scrap fish such as suckers or sticklebacks that compete for food Qr the elimination of predaceous fish that preclude establishing a trout or salmon population. "This program in lakes can be compared with farming" Mir. Wakefield stat ed. "The farmer clears the land. plants seed and. produces a crop. Lake rehabilitation insures the re- movai of all weed fish"
 The fisheries Board has adopted lake rehabilitation policy for the Alaska Department of Fisheries. The policy, in essence, declares that the lake rehabilitation tech nique will be used as an effective tool, insuring maximum fish pro- auction benefits to the people of Alaska.
 The rehabilitation program has been used to good advantage in sport fish work in Fairbanks, Pal n1er. Kodiak and Anchorage areas. This year the program was expand ed to include commercial fisheries. A lake on Afognak island was re- habilitated for the exclusive pro duction of red salmon. This experi- ment is the first known instance where the rehabilitation program has ben used to produce salmon, MT, Wakefield declared.
 The Alaska Fisheries Board is now holding its fall meeting in the office of the Alaska Department of Fisheries. Members of the Board are J. H. Wakefield, Chairman, Port Wakefield; Kenneth D. Bell, Fairbanks; Robert c. Kallenberg, Dillingham;; Nels E. Nelson, Ket- chikan; and Ira H. Rothwell, Cor dova.

Nehru Wants Chang
Included in Talks
On Formosa Issue
BY The A.soeiotsd Press

LONDON, Feb. IL Indian
Prime Minister Nehru came out
today for Nationalist China's
participation in any interna-
tional conference on the For
mosa issue. Britain, holding a
similar view, urged a quick
cease-fire as the prelude to such
q parley.
France lined up with Britain
and the United States in criti-
cism of Soviet Foreign Minister
v. M. Molotov's proposal for a
10-power conference that would
exclude Chang Kai-shek's Chi
nese Nationalists. A Foreign
Ministry spokesman in Paris
said "it is not possible that this
proposition could produce any
concrete results"
Mr.. Nehru made his position
clear as he headed home from
a two-week visit in London. He
told reporters at the airport a
Formosa conference is still under
consideration. 1t obviously
cannot exclude any party con-
cerned," he said.
Still Talking in Moscow.
A few hours later, a British
Foreign Office spokesman told
newsmen:
"Her majesty's government be-
lieve that it would be an advan-
tage to work for an end to the
fighting in advance of a confer
ence, should there be an agree
ment to hold a conference. An
end to the fighting would i'm
prove the chances of a confer
ence succeeding"
The British ambassador in
Moscow, Sir William Hayter, is
still exploring with the Rus
slams the idea of a Formosa
parley, the spokesman said. He
added, however:
"We wish to make it clear
that the contacts with the
Soviet government on the basis
of their proposal should not be
construed as committing us to a
conference as a means of bring
ing about a settlement of the
question to the exclusion of other
methods"
Eden Is Cautious.
Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden responded cautiously in
the House of Commons to a
series of questions on Formosa.
He said Britain and Russia
are still engaged in diplomatic
exchanges looking toward an
easing of the crisis, stressed that
any conference should include
representatives of both the
Chinese Communists and Chi
nese Nationalists. and disaSsoci-
ated himself from belligerent
statements made by both sides,
saying a great deal of these
had to do with the Oriental con-
ception Of saving face.
Informal Bids Necessary.
Leaving for a visit to Cairo,
MIR. Nehru told reporters:
There have to be a great deal
OF preparation and informal ap-
proaches before formal confer
ence can get under way.
'Rigid and formal approaches
lead to rigid and formal an
swers."
Mr. Nehru came to London
two weeks ago for the meeting
of Commonwealth prime min
isters. During his stay the neu-
tralist Indian Premier was busy
in behind-the-scene negotiations
on the Formosa question.
