Large Crowd Attends Sn7 7ais Tract Hearing

quiries from cattlemen, qualified to succeed, who expressed a desire to settle here, but after a study of the leases, they lose interest. They throw up their hands and say they want no part of it.. It doesn't offer them security for the investment involved. In reply Frank Meeks stated, We are bound by regula- tions according to acts pass ed by Congress"
 Gibbons replied that he sincere ly believed. the act was1due for re- vision. As it now reads, it will not enhance the economy of Ko- diak Island" he said.
 The hearing was presided over by Mayor Ole Johnson, with the Council in attendance. The remain der of the meeting was taken up with townsite land problems, addi- tional homesites nearer town and land for recreational purposes.
 Considerable interest was shown by the public for land in the Spruce Cape area, around Island Lake, Dark Lake, Potatoe Patch Lake, and the East Addition. Meeks stated it is expected much of the land within the City with held for various reasons will be disposed of by sale this summer.
 Criticism was voiced by Gibbons as to the methods of conducting the sale of land. Why couldn't the land be sold outright, rather than the present method of two- year lease with the improvement stipulation. It would do away with much paper work. If the buyer was no longer interested he could then dispose of the land"
 Norm Sutliff asked for a clarifi- cation of the status of the propos- ed site for Boy Scout use, and what steps are necessary for ac- quiring the land at Island Lake, and the cost. Meeks replied that the Alaska Council of the Boy Scouts had to make the purchase. There would be no difficulty in securing the land, he felt. Purchase price would be based on a flair market price," less 60 per cent.
 The bureau men in attendance were Harold Jorgensen, Frank Meeks, Don Griffiths, Dale Saun- ders, Lloyd Poland, and Mrs. Nal vina Price, Secretary. The group spent several days in Kodiak con- ferring with interested parties. Poland will be here for about two weeks in connection with Bureau land problems.

Along 7he Waterfront

Happenings almost fateful, oth9rj amusing ocurred along the water ways this past week. Seems there <, is never a dull moment when "dat ol' debil Sea-" COWS boats and people get mixed up together.
 First, we will give you the crab situation. There has been fair ac- tivity in this industry, but catches have been spotty due to intervals. of bad weather. The Totem came into Resoffs King Crab Canner5' with 3900 crab for a total weigh of 37,052 pounds. Rory KaIl5tai is. skipper. Nick Ketelikoff broq 3f. in the GPC19 with TOO of the purp- le-backed crustaceans. They weigh. ed 8527. The Jo Ann, Archie H.5- ley, skipper, brought in 96 for 1070 pounds. John Anderson and his GPC20 unloaded BIT crab with | weight of 1882 pounds. 561 crab were brought in by Paul Jensen on his, Falcon. They weighed 602S pounds. The Sues catch, hauled ia by the Eldorado, totaled 1547 ioy 8 weight of 14,483 pounds. The total week handled by this can nery was 37,237 pounds, lot of crab.
 Alvin Styling, Jr., who was badl y burned on his arm, side and leg by steam at the cannery over the week ago, is still in the hospital
 Pete Deveau of the Island Sea foods reports the Eldorado in with 38,000 pounds. Oscar Dysen dOcketl the Suzie Q with a load which weighed in at 28,O0O pounds. The Oranius had 10,5O0 pounds. GO0g.. an Petersen is skipper. Fritz De veau is due in today with about 18,000 pounds and the Reliance is due Monday with 35,O00 pounds.
 The Oranius had mishap which could have proved fatal, but for the timely efforts of the Suzie c and the Navy craft, the 161. Her engine blew manifold gasket off of Cape Barnabas. The Suzie Q took her in tow with two half infh cables, and the cables parted as the boats were positioned to the right of Ugak Island. The Suzie c stood by as the Navy effected a rescue. The boats battled high waves, and rough sea, which. ID turn damaged the 161. The latte4 had to pull into shelter to make } welding repair The fishermen were high in their praise of the Navy men, and expressed the De- lief that the incident could have been disastrous, but for their help.
 Pete Walkoff is changing en- zines in his Attu at Alvine and GibsonS boat works. He is also copper painting the bottom and giving it paint job.
 The Driftwood Products report 4000 procesSed, from Hiram McAl- listers catch.
 Cows apparently are now going to sea, according to a report of an incident on Woody Island. MetcaIt, an employee of CAA, had his boat, an 18 foot cabin Cruiser, on the beach for the winter.
 When he went to look it over re- gently, big hole had been knock ed out of the bottom. Cows winter ing on the island had managed to get the lock off, and entered the cabin for shelter Don't ask 'ls howl Bill Stone, Superintendent of the Baptist Mission, had a herd

An overflow crowd attended the Bureau of Land management hear ing Tuesday night at the Elks Club and voiced their desires and com plaintS before the officials of the Bureau who conducted the hearing.
 The principal order of business related to the desire of the public for small tracts in the area of Ist- mas Cove and Chiniak, and opposi- ton voiced by the cattle ranchers for use of the land for cabin sites
 Dave Henley, cattle rancher in the Kalsin Bay and Chiniak area, objected to the use of the land for cabin sites, stating the land in question was part of his choice winter range. Joe Zentner and Joe Beaty also spoke in opposition to small tract division of the area.
 Beatty stated the cattle rancher must be taken into consideration in the Bureaus future action. "The raising of livestock on Kodiak Is- land" he said, represents heavy investment. The cattleman has spent a hundred or a thousand times as much as small tract owner will ever spend"
 Cattlemen have twenty year lease on property on which they are situated. It was brought out by both Zentner and Beatty, lease agreement does not protect the cattleman. In reply to questions, Harold JorgenSen pointed out the actual buildings and physical inn provements made were the only tangible assets the cattleman had, besides his cattle. Zentner asked for clarification of clause in land act enabling three people in an area as all that is necessary to secure a restricted lease. Jorgen- sen said that was in effect true. Beaty voiced the opinion the lease eattlemen have isn't worth the paper it is printed on, unless the cattleman has some assurance from the government his heavy investment will be protected. Jorg- ensen gave assurance the leases will endure, so long as compliance is made to the terms of the leases.
 Moe Kimes, Anna Mae Vokacek, Carl Huer and others expressed the desire to acquire land in the area in question for homesite pur- poses. Paul Slower of the Alaska Road Commission stated that the more people that make use of the area, the more funds will be allo- eated for road maintenance.
 Jorgensen spoke at length on the Bureaus policy in regard to land management. He said the Bureau IS not interested in land in Kodiak other than a desire to improve the land already surveyed. The Bureau has to work within the con- fines of law laid down by Congress. The attempt is being made to sat isfy the livestock owner and the people who wish to develop certain lands. Land not adapted to home steads," he said, should be used for grazing" He felt that with so much land available here, a re- concilliation could be effected. That is why we are here, !" he said.
 John Gibbons voiced a vigorous protest of the land act and the manner in which it is administer ed. T have studied existing leases, in which I have found inconsistan- cies of policy. I have had many in-

Extension Leader Offers Safely Tips
 For Holiday Season

Christmas bells can ring for safety, Mrs. Lydia Fohn-Hansen reminded homemakers this week. Holiday safety means families observe common sense precau- tions, she said. Mrs. Fohn-Hansen is an associate director for the University Of Alaska Extension Service.
 These precautions start with family shopping for toys-safe toys. Electrical toys should bear the Underwriters Laboratories label, Mrs. Fohn-Hansen said, and toy movie projectors should be equipped with safety film. For toddlers, she suggests buyers watch for non=poisonous paint, smooth edges and no small parts that could be pulled off and swallowed. Toys safe for a six year-old may be dangerous i'll the hands of a less desterious three year-old.
 Alaskans have the edge over residents in warmer climates; they have no difficulty finding cold places to store their Christ mas trees until ready to set them up. The yule tree should be in stalled so that it will not block an exit.
 To keep tree fresh, make a cut diagonally in the trunk one inch above original cut and keep water in the eontainer all during the holidays Trees should be set up away from radiators or other sources of heat. Mrs. Fohn-Han- sen warns against trying to fire proof tree with chemicals. Check wiring of tree lights for defects and loose sockets Christmas lights should not overload house circuits. The tree lights should be turned out when no one is in the room
 Take the tree down as soon as it begins to shed needles or show signs of dryness, the home dem onstration leader said. A dry tree is finder box that can go up in flames before homemaker can get an extinguisher working.

while on Sunday Las week l stayed home on a Sat'day to plant some grass seed and long come my 12 year old boy stom- pin cross the lawn I was fixin' I told him, Son, don't walk on the lawn and he turned round and sassed me back-said shut you face so l hauled off and smacked him a couple cross the chops. He ran in the house a. yellin' and when his Nav asked him what's wrong he told her that guy that hangs round here on Sunday hit me ]"
 The point of the story is ob. vious. There is bound to be trouble when parents and their children are not close together. Father Flanigan, founder of Boys Town once said, there is no such thing as a bad boy" More over, he meant by direct impli. cation that there were some ter. ribly misfit parents. Whenever there is juvenile delinquency there is outright parental incom. petenee or wflful failure of duty. All kids are good when they are born; they grow up to be pro. blems.
 Maybe we need a reform sch ool for delinquent parents.
