WILLS EMPHASIS MONTH BEING OBSERVED AT
 PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

The First Presbyterian Church Is setting aside this month for special emphasis on making or re-making of wills.
 There are practical reasons why everyone should write a will" said the Rev. Paul F. Evans, pastor of the church. If you do not write a will, the state. in effect, does it for you and this cannot, in any mea- sure, show the love and affection you intend for your loved ones"
 The Rev. Evans said that this Sunday, at the morning worship service those attending can see what a Christian will means to them. As a part of the service, and in place of a sermon, a sound film strip, lover the Wall" will be shown. The film dramatizes in the life of one man, Jess Thompson the practical and spiritual reasons why everyone should make a will.
 A special invitation is given tQ all who are interested in making or re-making their will.

CLOSING PROGRAM OF BIBLE SCHOOL TONIGHT

Following two weeks of study and play together. the Union Daily Vacation BIble School will be brought to d close with a program tonight at 1880 in the sanctuary of the First Presbyterian Church.
 At the program, typical day at Bible School will be sketched by each department to give adults a glimpse into the activities of the school.
 Under the leadership of four col lege young people, the two weeks program Was huge success, the Rev. Paul F. Evans, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, said. Although the number enrolled did not quite reach the all-time high year prior to last year. The peak enrolment of last year numbered l2S boys and girls and this year the enrolment was 93.
 The four young ladies on the Bible School team this year are from various places in the States and are but one of four Bible School teams operating in South eastern Alaska under the Board of National Missions of the Presbyter- ian Church, the Rev. Evans said. These young people, all of them college or post-cOllege students, give their time during the summer for such a program. In addition to this, these young people pay their own way to and from their homes in the States to the Territory Dur ing their stay of teaching in the Bible Schools they receive no sal ary or honorarium. The Rev. Evans said it is hoped in the near future the local church will be able to send one of it's young people into such Q service through the church.
 The pubic is invited to the Bible School program tonight.

CANNERY MEN CONCERNED OVER SMALL SIZE
 OF. PINK SALMON

Pink salmon, which normally av- craze about IS fish to the case, this year are averaging P to the case in the Ketchikan area and in the Chatham Strait area as much as 27 said the Ketchikan Daily News this week. Concern is being expressed by cannerymen who pur- chase fish by the piece from traps and seiners.
 The story goes on to state that it is several years since pink salmon have been so small, and no one knows the reason, except that it has happened in previous years when the run of salmon was unus- ually large. There used to be a say ing that if the salmon were small, it meant heavy runs.
 This year the run has been Iarg- CT than expected, but is tapering off and whether the run will in crease is problematical. If there is large run of fish of this size it is liable to deal a severe financial blow to the canneries which buy fish by the piece.

YAKUTAT's MONSTER"
 PEAKED BAIRD WHALE

JUNEAU -R- A Michigan State University fisheries biologist has identified the monster carcass washed up on lonely Alaska beach as a Beaked Baird whale, one of the rarest of the peaked whale species.
 Dr. Peter Tack, head of the Mich igan State Fishery and Wildlife Department, flew to the spot this week where the creature was beached some months ago 50 miles south of Yakutat.
 Dr. Tack said after examining the remains, it's probable length was about 3S feet. Original reports had estimated the creature, which has become nearly completely bur jed in the sand, as much longer.
 The so-caIled "red ha;r." he said, turned out on close examination to residue of decomposing whale flesh.

 How does life in these United States strike a former resident? There are too many cars,'' ob- serves Bahovec. The noise of the people, the crowded conditions and the heat are what I notice most"

THROUGH THE SENTINEL TELESCOPE
Fair Fishing Season

It was no Silver Horde but the commercial salmon fishing season in Alaska gave evidence of being about average. As of last Saturday night there were l,407,37O cases of reds, kings, pinks, chums and echoes in the can. At the same ap- prOximate date last season the fig ure was l,I76,705 cases, indicating an overall improvement from last season.
 Western Alaska, including Bris- tol Bay where the reds were hit tlng in abundance, was the big producer. The commercial fisheries administration reported a pack of 61O,234 cases in that area compar- ed with 372,497 at about the same time in 1855. Report was that not anticipating big year, the pack CTS just didn't have the cans in Bristol Bay and weren't prepared for maximum run.
 Southeast with 217,76O cases was tOul DdI que NlIH ldSl oCdSOA . lohO Of 295.S4I cases up to about the same time. Current report was that a big coho run was developing in the Pelican area.
 The Wrangell-Petersburg area had up 3S,792 cases through July q. mostly pinks. Of this number '29,73S cases were credited to the three cannery operations in Pet ersburg and the balance to Wran- gel's one plant.
 From the boys who caught the fish, the report was fair to aver age. Seine caught humpies were bringing up to 4S cents fish while some big troll caught kings went for 5 cents a pound in Ket chikan this week. With a 40-pOund king worth around 20 bucks who wants copper in the Cassiar?

SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENTS $sO,OOo MONTHLY IN FIRST DIVISION

Social security benefits payments amount to s8O,0OO a month in the first judicial division, or Southeast Alaska, Howard R. Horsweu. repre- sentative of the Social Security ad- ministration, told the Chamber of Commerce at its dinner meeting Tuesday night in the Elks building. He said there were 420O beneficiar- ies in Alaska in 1855 and they re- ceived payment in a total amount of $S.31S,OOO.
 Horsweh, guest speaker from the SS office in Juneau, said that over the nation there are approxi- mately eight million persons now getting benefits totaling four mil lion dollars annually.
 Pointing to social security as compulsory insurance to provide for old age and dependents, he ex- plained that it tends to alleviate the welfare load for which the tax payer must foot the bill in the end He said that three-fourths of IA million older persons eligible for payments had assets of $1,OO0 or less. Without social security bene- fits for which they have made pay ments these persons would be de- pendent in large part on welfare. As an example he pointed out that $4,7O0 a month was paid to elig- ible older persons at the Pioneers Home last year which would have meant additional welfare funds had these people not been eligible for benefits. :.
 He urged the cooperation of the merchants and others in assisting to see that workers keep his or her social security in order; that pay ments are credited to the proper account numbers and that every one obtain a number.
 There are now $21 billion in the trust fund for social security pay ments, he pointed out, and 6S mill lion taxpayers who pay into the fund. :.

Ralph has resigned as Terri torial Senator to have a fling at becoming and serving as represent ative, likewise without portfolio.
 Democratic soothsayers, particul- arly ones from Ketchikan, are pre- dieting Frank Peratrovich of Kla- woch will lead the ticket in the First Division Senatorial race.

Some Small as Trout

Some of the pinks are as small as trout and the iron chink" will not do much more than chop the heads and tails off - it does not clean out the viscera or take off the fins
 The fish are smallest in Chat ham Straits where cannerymen re- port them running even as small as 26 or 27 to the case. The fish there are usually somewhat smaller than in the Ketchikan area, but never heretofore as small as this year. the newspaper stated reports said.
 Some of the pinks are so small that they get "gilled" in the seine netting and trap wire. Some can neries. which have not contracted for their fish. are now paying for pinks according to size" Last year, when pinks were rnning a- bout 17-19 to the case, the price was 45 cents each
 The cannery operators fear that with a large run of pinks that the price of canned salmon on the wholesale market will drop disas- trously and that in order to get their money back on the small pinks they will have to have good prices for the canned product this year to break even.
