THROUGH THE SENTINEL TELESCOPE
Gas Tax Refund

Commercial fishermen are about to be relieved of a minor head ache. The last Legislature in up- ping the gasoline tax to five cents a gallon made provision for refund of three cents to commercial fish ermen and the aviation industry, heaviest users. In execution of the legislative act, the fishermen were required to pay the full tax when making purchases and then could apply to the Territorial Tax De- partment for the three-cent refund The system entailed a lot of book keeping, keeping records of pur- jdhases, making out forms for re- fund.v getting them nOtarized, etc.
 Up in Juneau last week at the meeting of the legislative and aud- it committees, Karl Dewey. Terri torial Tax Commissioner, came up with a plan which promises to re- lieve the grief. At any rate, they are going to try it.
 Under the plan, some sort of stamp. or plale will be provided which can be placed on the pur- chase order showing the amount of tax or refund allowable, thus el- iminating for the commercial fish erman the necessity of paying the tax at the time of purchase and then applying to the department for refund.
 Senator Nolan, vice chairman of the legislative committee, says it has the approval of both commit tees and sees no reason why it won't work by eliminating what is usually referred to be red tape"

Donald McKernan, head of the fisheries division of the Fish and Wildife Service. said here last Fri day night that no decision had been made on moving the. FWS fishery facility and office in Wrangell to Petersburg He said the subject had not previously come to his atten- tion.
 Tar-eton J. Smith, agent in charge at Petersburg, said he was recommending moving the facility from Wrangen to Petersburg and having an agent stationed in Wrangell only during the summer months. He said because of the boundaries of the Petersburg Wrangell area which extends north to Windham Bay and includes Wrangell on the south, the central location in Petersburg would lend itself to more efficient administra- tion.
 MeKernan said Agent Elmer Cop stead was being transferred from Wrangel to Ketchikan as a promo tion but this did not mean the closing of the WrangeH office and the FWS facility here.
 A strong protest has been made to Juneau by the Chamber of Com me.ce and other groups against the proposed moving of the fishery of flee from Wraugpll.

Skating Pond

Old skater Leo Mccormack, mus ing about those more youthful days of cutting figure eights, has come up with what app psals to be an eX- cellent idea with the snow getting lower and lower on WOronkofski.
 He proposes making an ice skating rink on the newly created fill area So the youngsters, and a. dults, too, can have some good, clean fun this winter. It is almost certainty that nothing in the way of building will take place on the fill area this winter. It Will lie there. Why not put it to a good purpose? There's the start toward skating area out near the outer edge at the present time. It would not be much of a trick to level off some more space, dam it up and pour on a little water. Nature will take care of the freezing.
 Minions of deep thinking might even consider it d step toward curbing juvenile delinquency, if any. It's hard to be delinquent on pair of ice skates.
 At any rate, we're giving it clas- sification as "the best idea of the week"
 A. B. c Areas
 We haven't any idea who matched up the A, B, fishing areas for Southeast Alaska tsee story else where in today's paper) but its fairly obvious that whoever con ceived it did so with map and pencil and not with knowledge of actual conditions on the fishing grounds and what fishing fleets normally fish what areas. Even Don McKernan, chief of the fisher ies division of the Fish and Wild life Service admits the proposal needs some more consideration. Most fishermen appear to be of the theory that the only further con sideration it needs is which waste basket to put it in. It will be en- Tightening to see if presentations made by the men who make their living on the fishing grounds are given consideration.
