The counter down at Pete's was
full yesterday, except for three
seats near the end, so l plunked
myself down on the middle one.
AS l took my first sip of coffee
a cute young couple came ina
girlin her early twenties followed
by fellow perhaps a year or two
older. Without saying a word,
they took the only two seats left
on either side of me.
Remembering my younger
days, I insisted the young man
take my seat SOS they could be
together. He hesitated at first,
then finally he shrugged, grinned

SteeIhead Eggs To Be Distributed

Cdr. w. w. Clark, President of the Kodiak Conservation Club con- firms the fact that of the more than a million steelhead eggs taken at Karluk for incubation at the Naval Station Hatchery, 250,00O have been assigned to the Fish and Wildlife Service, 249,000 to the Alaska Department of Fisheries and 150,000 to Adak. More will be distributed to Adak - if they can handle them, Cdr. Clark says. The balance are as yet. uncommitted.
 It is expected that due to bad weather, and some delay in trans portation of the eggs from Karluk, there may be a fairly high mor- tality rate. In anticipation of this a higher number of eggs were taken than had originally been planned. The balance will be split, part being planted in lakes in the Kodiak Area and an additional amount being offered to the Fish and Wildlife Service and Alaska Department of Fisheries for use by other military commands with in the Alaska Area. The diStribu- tion of this balance is predicated on Fish and Wildlife Service ap- proval.

Senate Approves New Health Bill

Washington (AP). The Senate passed by voice vote the bill auth orizing Alaska to set up its own facilities for the treatment of the mentally ill. ' The procedure under which it is proposed. Alaska govern it's com mittment program was stripped from the House passed bill. Be cause of the controversy over these provisions, the Senate Committee removed them from the bill and inserted the provision authorizing Alaska Legislature to draft a commitment program.
 Alaska's mentally ill are now cared for at government expense in the privately owned Morning side Hospital in Portland. Under this bill the territory will receive 61z million dollars over ten year period to ease its way into the financial burden of the program, with the right to select one million acres of public land with which to develop revenues by which to aid it further in assuming program costs.
 The Senate added the amend ment of Sen. Langer (R-ND) ex- cluding territorys right in land se- lection to any mineral deposits contained on the land which is sub ject to land order 82. The order covers Navy's abandoned petrole- um reserve in Northern Alaska.
 Sen. Jackson (D-Wash.), Chair man of the territories subcommit- tee which handled the bill, said the measure is "as widely misrep- resented as any legislation ever to come before Congress" He said, there is absolutely no foundation in the contentious by some op- ponents of the bill that it will permit the creation of political Siberia" in Alaska to which gov ernors of the 48 states could send political enemies" Jackson said this impression arose over the er- roneouS interpretation of the stan dard reciprocity provision includ- ed in the bill which would permit the governor of Alaska to make agreement with another governor for exchange of residents of one state who became i'll in another. Equally baseless," he said, lis the contention that millions of acres of land granted under the bill will be used for facilities to care for the mentally ill" He said the grant is no different than sim liar grants to the western states in the development of railroads, school support and other purposes.

After two weeks of travel and sightseeing, eight members of the local Sea Scout Explorers return ed Tuesday from a plane, train and boat trip which took them to Seattle and return. They were ac- companied by Scoutmaster, Verne Draper and Walt Sewell.
 The party left here by an Air Force plane and flew to Anchor age. They then went to Whittier by railroad and boarded the Fun ston on May 2. They arrived in Seattle May 25, and were taken to Standpoint.
 814 Sea Explorer Scouts and their leaders were assembled there. The first weekend they spent watching exhibits by the Navy and Marine Corps. They witnessed a water rescue by a helicopter. They went aboard sub, the US. Puffer.
 A big event for the boys was a cruise around Lake Washington. tight Sea Scout ships participat- ed Monday the Anchorage and Kodiak boys boarded the tug Tach- nuk, and were taken through the locks to Pier 91,where they in- spected the DER USS Kornier. They then returned to Standpoint.
 Tuesday they again went to Pier 91 where they boarded tug for the Bremerton Navy Yards, They were taken aboard the battleship Missouri, shown, among other things, the spot where the peace treaty was signed. They had din ner aboard the huge battleship. Following the visit they returned through the locks again.

They were allowed to stand watch and take turns at the wheel. On Satur- day night a Bridge of Honor was staged aboard, it being the first event of its kind for most of the boys aboard ship. The officers of the ship took part.
 Those making the trip were Leo Bromfield, Walter Cohn, Tommy Eslinger, Tommy Shuyak, Ronald Spencer, Danny Toschwak, Roger Williams. Four of the boys had never been in Seattle before

Along zhe
 -.-. Waterfront

A "buStling waterfront" truly
 describes Kodiak these days. Boats
 are coming in from various points
 around.the island. Local fishermen
 are painting and overhauling their
 boats and gear, and many are
 leaving for the fishing grounds
 where the season has opened. : | ''' Frank McConaghy at Halferty's
 reports plenty of activity later in
 the week with nice loads of clans
 and the best yet on the fish,. About
 700 boxes of clans were brought
 in for processing, and activity
 along this line should continue now with good weather and good tides prevailing. Mike 1 ag0z dock ed the cannery tender Valencia with little better than 5000 reds. That will complete the salmon canning until next week, with the weekend closure in effect.
 However, the fish catch on open ing day, among about thirty boats was hardly enough to wet the gear for one or two boats. The tender Sunrise" with Marvin Myers as skipper, docked over the weekend and unloaded the combined ef- forts of all the boats with 26OO fish. This was hardly sufficient to justify blowing the whistle at Hal ferty's.
 At the Standard Oil float, there was considerable movement. of boats, and Merrill Coon and George Magnusen were kept fair ly busy, gassing up and fueling departing fishing vessels. The lat ter got in a little extra practice as fireman, and was right there when Alvin Sargent's Linda M de veloped a small fire that could have been disastrous. But George wieldS a mean extinguisher, and needless to say, got things under control in a hurry.
 Ali Madsen arrived with his party of hunters. Pete WalkOff left with his Adak, as did Moses Malutin with the UF-2. Gene Er- wins Marie steamed out of the channel for the fishing grounds Also the Quadra. Lorin Lindsley is the skipper. The Marmot, pilot ed by Tom Won Scheele was in and the Judy M, skippered by Julian Mullen, came in from 0uz- inkie. The Westward left as did Parks Cannery's Aleutian, and Donald Nelson'S Donna Rae, the latter going to Karluk. Also going to Karluk was Henry Norton's Rip pie. This boat is from CordOva Lloyd Cannon also piloted his boat the Juneau over the well travelled waterways to Karluk. The Eman- cipator, skippered by David Bez (no relation to Nick) also header for the same place. Dave is from Anacortes. John Bety'S fishing vessel Radio also headed out. The Connie Kay, belonging to the Ranier Pacific Fisheries was in and out again. . At AIvine & Gibsons Don Bent ley's Summit is about ready for thewater, and should be ready in plenty of time to get to Chignik where Don ylans to fish. Dr. John sons Windbird is also about ready.
