Last week the Alaska Nurses Association heldsa convention in Anchorage. Nurses from all AL aska, as well as the military forces, were present.
 To me, the work this ergani- ration is accomplishing is aston ishing. As Alaska is new-so is the Alaska Nurses Association, but they have already gained rla- tional recognition through their quarterly, 'The Alaskan Nurses" It was awarded honorable men, ton at the American Nurses Association convention in Chi cago. At this convention it was noted that some of the new "state side" nursing problems are ones that Alaskan nurses have met and solved in unique ways.
 Unfortunately the Anchorage convention revealed an eanbar- nasing fact. Palmer is sadly lack ing support of her district assoei- ation and is the only dist4ci which showed such lack. I am a registered nurse and do mol, as yet, belong to the association SC ann just as guilty as anyone. That I plan to remedy.
 The convention brought ott that each nurse can offer some thing to the association and re- ceive in return much knowledge and self-satisfaction. The only way to help is to join your dist rict association and ANA. Lend your support, attend meetings and get acquainted with the needs There's lots to be done If you have problems, bring these too.

APPLICATION DENIED
 FOR BAR EXAMINATION

Word was recently received by James Hurley of Palmer that the Board of Governors of the Alaska Bar Association have de- nied his application to take the Alaska bar examinations.
 The letter stated that the Board of Governors thoroughly considered whether he was eligi- ble to take the bar examination. Although the previous Board of Law examiners gave Hurley such authority, the Board of Cover nors felt compelled to deny the application because they are of the opinion the law does not per init study in a branch law office where the attorney and student are not together daily.
 Both the present. and former Board have denied applications to study in this manner, the let ter concluded.

sufficient wilderness promise good hunting future.
CANADA: It's hard to estimate how many hunter
dollars pour into Canada each year, but it's certainly
considerable and with reason. From coast to coast
deer hunting exceeds the U.S. average. In the
prairie provinces - Saskatchewan, Manitoba and
Alberta - wing shooting ranks with the best in the
world, principally for prairie chickens, Hungarian
partridees and ssarptaiIs- These also the prnc
pal waterfowl nesting grounds the continent so gun
ming is fabulous. And the high country of British
Columbia Alberta and the Yukon the best bets for
trophy goats sheep and caribou. There's good oppor
tunity for moose from Quebec eastward Newfound-
land has abundant caribou. Hunting in Canada can
be expensive but conservative hunting regulations will
insure plenty Of game always.
ALASKA: Alaska is the promised land the mecca for
many American sportsmen And it deserves the repu-
tation too for it has the most and biggest big game
in the western hemisphere trophy bears sheep, moose
goats. But little known the unbelievable waterfowl
shooting that occurs from Cold Bay Southeastward all
along the coast Hunters go to Alaska for ptar-
misan shooting nowadays. hunting trip to Alaska
is lifetime adventure and should be well planned

In Texas, Arizona and New Mexico hunting is good
Mexico is better. being virtually unexplored in
