TIL E P A S T
By CAROLYN LLOYD

Spring has come to Hatteras,
Ben Dixon MacNeill says in a
News and Observer article on
Sunday. 1t is true that the seasons
have seemed to be mixed up in
recent years, and the blooming of
flowers that usually herald the
coming of spring might be confus-
ing to some; but there is one
group of people who always know
when fall is here whether the
leaves turn or not. The trees may
be slow to shed their green dress,
the days may turn hot and sticky,
but to teachers there is always one
sure evidence that fall is here
the full mail box. Everybody in
the United States who has some
thing to sell has secured list of
teachers from every county and
has begun to lombard them with
offers of bargains. One can almost
see them rubbing their hands with
glee and saying, "Goody, goody,
the suckers are back at work; now
we'll sell them something"
The "come-ons" are usually
prefaced like this: eve know that
as a teacher you are a person Of
intelligence and discrimination, so
we are offering you the first OPP
portunity Of. The offerings in
clude everything from workbooks
guaranteed to turn the dullest
pupil into genius to insurance
policies guaranteed to ensure a
blissful old age free from financial
worry. All publishers, whether of
magazines or books, consider
teachers their exclusive property
as prospects. Among the new
offers in this falls batch was one
for Motors Auto Repair
Manual. According to the ad, any
individual can fix anything from
carburetor to rear end on anything
from a Ford to a Cadillac in a
matter of minutes simply by con-
sulting this manual. If he fails,
all he has to do is return the book
and his money will be refunded
1t didn't say anything about pay
ing for the damage he had done
to his automobile, however.
All those offers, with unlimited
credit, are mighty tempting. There
is just one thing that the adver-
tiser fails to take into considers
ton. Nestled among all those en-
velopes in the teachers mailbox
there are bound to be few re-
minders that the patient summer
creditors also know that school has
started. The long, lean months may
be over, but those reminders can
act as a check to the impulse to
fall for the fabulous offers, even
those which begin, "Send no
money; We'll gladly bill you
later" They will, too, you may be

many of you, it is, of course. my hope that the next vessel will also be flying the House-flag of the Daido Line; however, for the sake of your community, now so well proven in shipping, and from the standpoint of a fellow Alaskan, it would give me much satisfaction to even welcome a vessel flying the flag of competitors just so she was proceeding to the Port of WrangeIl to load another cargo of lumber! May you all continue to give vour goodwill and support to your mill and it's export interests; and, to the Port of Wrangell I send my best wishes for a long and success full and illustrious career in the realms of foreign trade

 Belatedly, because, as usual, I have been constantly out of town and just recently returned from another trip to California, l take this opportunity in behalf of my principals and the Alaska Lum- Der & Pulp Company, Inc, to thank you and, through you, the wonder full citizens and good friends in Wrangell through whose untiring efforts our operations relative to the Kosho Maru and her cargo and loading arrangements met with such unanticipated success. May also, through you, thank the local, Territorial and Federal officials and your Chamber of Commerce for the warm and friendly reception and cooperation extended our in terests during the call of the KoshO Maru at the Port of Wrangell. Each and all of you good people gave this new project and venture the impetus required and, should the sales of the lumber go well on the other side, it is my sincere hope that you folks will again soon be visited by another Japanese vessel
 Because of the gracious friend ships I so personally enjoy with SC

Wrangell, Alaska Aug. 31, 1855

Editor, Wrangell Sentinel
 Dear Editor:
 I would like to say a few words in regard to the Fisheries manage ment of Southeast Alaska.
 The Fish and Wildlife Service call it fisheries management. We, the Alaska seiners, call it gross mismanagement. Why? Go out on the grounds today. You will find not thousands, but hundreds of thousands of fish dying on the beaches. The big majority of the streams are plugged and bays are jammed with fish with no place to go but to die on the beaches.
 Just what would all of these surplus fish mean to the economy of Southeast Alaska?
 This season Anan district should not have been opened at the time it was as there were no fish in the stream at that time.
 We would call it real management if each district warden had control of his district - open it when the streams were seeded and take the enormous surplus that are going
The Wrangell sentinel., 1955-09-02

to waste at the present time under the present mismanagement of the fisheries of Alaska.
 There is another side to this wanton waste of salmon. If l, as a fisherman, deliberately let food fish spoil, I am subject to prosecution under the law, whereas, the FWS wastes hundreds of thousands of pounds every season.
 We, the fishermen, are supposed to abide by the regulations as pro mulgated by FWS, but they them selves do not. For instance, the book says that all waters of Point Beauclerc inside the outer point of Edwards Island is closed. Accord ing to the chart, one line to the marker on the outer point of Ed wards Island bears 1500 true. The line to the other marker is 1902 true m almost a true triangle.
 At Tokeen Bay, all the waters within the bay are closed to fish ing but as there is a very distinct point at the entrance to Tokeen Bay from Davison Inlet, the mark CT, according to regulations, should be on that point. However, it is approximately 300 yards up the beach in Davison Inlet waters which should be legally open tc fishing.
