OTTER. BEAVER SEASON OPENS APRIL 15

Fish and Wildlife Service agent Elmer Copstead today announced the opening of the season on land otter and beaver on April 15, to run to May 15.
 An amendment to the current Alaska game laws was signed by the Secretary of Interior this week to permit trapping of otter this year in fur distrirt none whirh covers all of Southeastern Alaska to Yakutat.
 The otter season was requested by trappers and met with no objec- tion from FWS due to an appar- ently plentiful supply of otter. Ot- ter season was open in the winter of 1954-55 with mink and marten and is usually open only every other year.
 There is no limit on the otter take but the amendment opening the season includes a provision that and otter may not be taken with steel traps smaller than size AS during this season. The limit on beaver this year is ten animals per trapper.

STORY OF AMERICAN
 REVOLUTION AT RED MEN THEATER THIS WEEK END

The Scarlet Coat, an historical drama, in color, will be shown at the Red Men Theater Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
 Featuring Cornel Wilde and Michael Wilding, the picture is a psuedo-historical account of Bene- dict Arnold's treachery during the Revolutionary War. Wilde, heroic and muscular in his role of an es- pionage agent for Washington's army, performs in his usual stellar ability with Wilding portrays with considerable appeal the illl-fated Major Andre, British adjutant who was hanged by colOnials as a spy because of his liaison with the traitorous Arnold, - cOnvincingly played by Robert Douglas.
 Wilde poses as a renegade rebel purportedly aligning himself with the English but in reality is seek ing to unmask the high-placed in- former who, of course turns out to be Arnold.
