,JeffOrd Given
 Highest Award of Commerce Dept.

Jack T. Jefford, chief of the Air ways Flight Inspection Division, has received the Department of Commerce. h g h e $ t honorary award.
 At the invitation of Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks, Jef- ford was flown to Washington to receive the Exceptional Service Award and Gold Medal at pres entation ceremony held last week.
 Jefford, a CAA employe in Alaska for IT years, has contrib uted substantially to the leader ship that has developed aviation in Alaska. He has flown 1,50O,O00 miles, mostly in Alaska. During many of these flights he has pio- neered the federal airways. He set up the first airways flight in spection program in Alaska and has headed this important pro- gram to the present.
 Jefford has made many mercy flights under the most difficult circumstances. The weather or terrain has never been too bad for Jack. A principal benefit of these mercy flights is the feeling of security enjoyed by isolated field employees in knowing that emer- gency assistance is available even under the most adverse conditi- tions. Jean Potter's book, "The Flying North," gives many in- stances of his ingenuity, daring, and ability.
 Jack Jefford's humility, warm understanding of and genuine compassion for his fellow men have won the respect and admir- ation of all those who know him, a CAA official said.

Salaries for Solons Debate in Senate

The proposed payment of 5000 annual salaries and $16 weekly expenses to Alaska Tennessee plan Congressmen remained stalled in the Senate Saturday.
 The bill snagged Thursday in the Senate over ruling on an amendment-which got an 8-to7 vote-to make the salaries pay able only until Statehood is granted. The matter has been continued on the Senate calendar at least another day, pnding a ruling from the Attorney General.
 The Senate, by a unanimous vote, asked for a Congressional Investigation of the Alaska Native Services handling of Wheeler Howard Act funds. The Wheeler Howard Act provides for the loan of federal funds through the Alas ka Native Service, to aid indus try aming the Territory's Eskimo and Indian population. The Sen ate resolution said an investiga- ton was needed in what it termed certain questionable pur- chasing practices"

Virginia's dove shooting season
ended yesterday, with not too
great a harvest taken during
the second period of hunting.
Many people. especially those
who do not hunt, do not seem
to realize that the mourning
dove is one of our finest ard
most-Sought-after game birds.
Not only is he a swift. errstic
flyer, he is delicious to eat, and
to shoot him takes a lot Of
skill. We have friends who are
excellent shots at ducks and
quail who have plenty of trouble
putting a shot string ahead Of
this speedSter of the airways.
During the open dove season
in 1855. according to figures just
released by the Fish and Wild
life Service, hunters of 90 States
harvested early 10 million
mourning doves. In point num-
bers taken, the dove is the lead
ing American game bird. In 1855,
relatively good year, less than
1875 million ducks were killed by
hunters. This past season. which
saw doves even more plentiful,
may surpass that of 1855 in num-
bers killed.
The figures describing the size
OF fish caught this past season in
Rhode Islands Hi Neighbor Salt
Water Fishing Derby certainly
prove that State to be tops in
its salt water fishing possibilities.
1t was interesting to note that
the striped bass which won for

58l2 Founders. one taken by a
resident and one by a non-resi-
dent. Bass caught from boats
which one weighed SIS and 81
pounds respectively. Bluefsh Of
Is pounds 3 ounces for residents
and Is pounds 4 ounces for nom
residents captured first honors,
whereas in the tautog or black
fish class it took 13l2-pound and
l5i2-pound fish respectively to
win.
