FISHERMEN NEED BOTH TERRITORIAL AND FEDERAL STAMPS

Fishermen need both a territor- iaf fishing stamp and federal fishing and hunting license, Wal lace Fitzgerald, fisheries inspector for the Alaska Department of Fisheries, warned last week.
 Punishment for not having both is up to $100 fine for the first of- fense and year in jail or both.
 Deputies have been instructed to make checks for the purpose of advising fishermen that this terri torial fishing stamp is required by law and failure to have this stamp in poSseSsionl while fishing will result in prosecution.
 Wesley I. Gilman, territorial police captain, said that his de- partment would enforce the fish ing stamp law.
 In Nome, the federal license is available at the US. commission CTS office at the Federal Building; the territorial license may be had at the Territorial Tax Office.
 Licenses are valid from July of one year to June 31st of the next.

UAL Opposes PA And IVA Bids For Trans-POlar Route

SAN FRANCISCO, Rt-United Airlines Monday asked the Civil Aeronautics Board to eliminate Seattle and Portland from the proposed applications of Pan Ann erican World Airways and Trans World Airways to fly the polar route from the West Coast to Europe.
 The two airlines have proposed the two northwest cities and San Francisco and Los Angeles would be co-termina1s on flights origin ating on different days during the week.
 Andrew M. De Vourisney, UAL treasurer, testified at the final day of the CAB hearing on the appli- cations, that his company had no objections to the applications in- solar as California is concerned.
 But he said he did not consider the air traffic developed in Seat tie and Portland sufficient to jus tify adding the competition of the polar route to the established ser vice.
 Also testifying at the final ses- sion of the week-long hearing, G. Bernard Slebos, director of econ- omic planning for Pan American, told the CAB that opening of the polar route made imperative that American flag lines serving the West Coast fly that route.
 Pan American, he said, would lose S30O0,000 year if 1t is forced to fly the Atlantic without using the polar route.
 CAB Examiner William J. Mad den said at the end of the hearing that the airlines would have until July 16 to file additional briefs and a decision in the case would not be expected before late sum- mer or early fall.

KETCHIKAN-Members of the Territorial Legislative Council be- gan their quarterly meeting May 23 in the city's council chambers. The council is an eight-member committee of Alaska legislators which meets periodically between legislative sessions to study prob lens of a Legislative nature which are expected to come before the legislature in its biannual sessions. Richard J. Cruel of Fairbanks, chairman of the council, had pre- viouSly announced that the coun- cil, at its Ketchikan meeting would continue studies relating to election laws, liquor legislation, local government problems and consider requests for legislation which have been presented since the last meeting of the council.
 In addition to Chairman Greuel, members of the council are Sens. James Nolan of Wrangell, vice chairman; Ralph J. Rivers of Fair banks; Charles D. Jones of Nome; Earl Cooper of Anchorage; and Reps. Burke Riley of Haines, Wen dell Kay of Anchorage, and Edith Bullock of Kotzebue. J. F. Mckay of Juneau, who is employed as director of the council, accompan- jed the council here.
 A major item on the agenda was a study of districting and appor- tionment for election of repre- sentatives to the territorial House under the outline of the constitu- tion for the State of Alaska. Other important items were a study of the liquor licensing inadequacies in the territory presently and studies of local government prob lems, flood control districts and personnel administration.
 Liquor Licenses
 The Council is contemplating recommending that the territorial

tax department be named as the agency for issuing liquor licenses and collecting the license fees.
 Greuel said Friday the council has asked that rough draft of a bill covering liquor licensing and including this provision be drawn up and submitted to the council at q future meeting. He said that be- cause of the restrictions of the Organic Act it is contemplated the liquor licensing commission estab- lished by legislative act in 1883 would remain as the body to de- termine whether liquor licenses should be issued to individual ap- plicants.

Mckay Resigns

However, the council will make no final recommendation until it has viewed the bill in rough draft at later meeting.
 The council wound up it's meet ing Friday. Because of the an- nounced resignation Thursday of the councils executive director, Greuel said another meeting of the council will be held before Director McKay's departure which will be no later than Aug. l.
 The council turned to mechani- cal matters Friday by asking the directors to secure cost figures on a "xerograph," which would re- produce by photographic process bills before the legislature.

 Greuel said the machine would eliminate many legislative en- ployes. Mckay said the elimina- ton would mean a 60 to 70 per cent reduction in the cost of legis- lative personnel, amounting to be- tween $5,000 and $15,000.

|5TH BLUE MARLIN OF SEASON
LANDED BY 16-YR.-OLD YOUTH

Hatteras.-Fifth blue marlin of
1856 season to be landed off the
North Carolina coast was boated
off Hatteras on Friday by 16-year-
old Saunders Midyette of Jackson,
N. c. Previously this year one big
blue marlin had been taken off
Hatteras and three by anglers
aboard cruisers basing at nearby
Oregon Inlet at Mays Head. He is
the youngest person to land blue
marlin off the States coast, al
though many have been taken by
adults. His fish scaled at BOG
pounds, measured IL feet from tip
to tip; girth measurement, 81
inches.
He was fishing with his parents,

Thanks to the talent prevalent
in the cast of "The Lost Colony,
Manteo had two opportunities to
hear some excellent music this
week. On Sunday afternoon,
the Lost Colony choir, under
the direction of DR.. Elwood
Keister, presented its annual
concert; and Monday evening
saw the premier performance
of the opera "Trista," written
by Charles McCraw, with cast
composed of Lost Colony per-
sonnet.
The concert on Sunday was de-
voted to the music of Schubert
and Brahms. The Mass in G, which
opened the program, is one of
Schubert's most lyrical opuses in
the religious vein. This great work,
comprised of five sections, was in
spiringly. sung, with all chorus
parts very much intact, and all
solo parts convincingly done by 10
Ann Sparks, Dan Pressly, and
Harley Streiff. Miss Sparks has
an excellent voice, remarkable for
its purity, clarity, and feasibility;
Mr.. Pressley's tenor is lyric one
with unusual coloring; Mr..
Streiff's baritone is full-bodied,
solid, and rich. The blending these
three obtained during the Benedic-
tus was especially noteworthy.
Hedley Yost handled the organ ac-
compartment with precision, and
understanding of the instrument.
DIR. Keister conducted in his def
mite yet sympathetic manner, and
obtained beautiful effects in the
Mass.
The three songs by Brahms,
which comprised the last half of
the concert, showed off the chorus
to a considerable degree, and the
Accomplishments very well done by
James Good.
AS to the opera "Trista", it
proved to be outstanding in many
respects. 1t surprised me that Mr..
McCraw, a dancer by profession,
could compose such well-knit
work, as well as play the score in
a professional manner. The opera,
often like those of Menotti in style
and the handling of the component
parts, was we'll written. Each of

A GreenviIIe Critic Reviews Opera
And Choir Concert at Lost Colony
BY GEORGE E. PERRY
Member Of the Music Faculty at East Carolina College.
Greenvle. and Music Critic for The Daily Reflector

the four vocal ranges was used
to the fullest extent, with many
passages bordering on the strenu-
Gus and taxing side. The tessitura
in several spots was extremely
high, yet the five principals took
all this in their stride, and came
up with convincing performances.
Jan Saxon's role as the mother
was warm, human and understand
ing; Dan Pressley's portrayal of
CATER was appropriately morbid,
sinister, and crotchety; Harley
Streiff, who sang the part of Ned,
was wonderfully sympathetic of
his witch-wife; Margaret Nc
Larty's Trista was understanding
ly frail with just the right amount
of the supernatural; Hal Fur, as
the Minister was convincingly
God-fearing, sombre, and at the
same time human in the tradition
al ministerial form.
The five dancers who did the
ballet midway through the opera
were remarkable in their action
characterizations. AS the ballet
finished, the audience burst into
applause, and the dancers really
deserved it.
The entire opus is a very effec-
tive one. Aside from the music it
self, is the very well-written
libretto by Mrs. Paul Green. Ger
tain of the lines seemed bit diff
cult to spit out, especially when
the music was correspondingly
high, and yet the singers COPIED
commercially with this problem.
The dancing, as l have said, was
outstanding, as were the settings
with the realistic backdrop, and
the costumes. This seemed the
appropriate place for the premier
performance, too. For the scene is
laid in the earliest days of North
Carolina, and in this area where
the Lost Colony is such an integral
part, the opera seemed as if it
were another appropriate segment
of this interesting era.
Prior to the opera, a series of
dances and pantomimes was pre-
scented by three of the Lost Colony
dancers. Karen Wentworth did a
commanding number, From Dark
to Light; Myrna Charles danced
one called Caprice, which was
truly capricious; Bill Dessler did
two selections-the clever and
realistically human "The Little
Man., and "No Escape" which was
notable for it's stark profundity;
Phil Bruins did two pantomimes,
Revolt, and Life Cycle of a
Tree, the latter being master
piece of continual movement,
slow, sustained, and excellently
controlled. This entire portion of
the evenings presentation was one
of notable artistry, and rewarding
examples of the modern dance.
