COMMERCIAL FISHING LICENSE NON.TRANSFERABLE

Commercial fishermen are re- minded this week by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game that under the terms of the existing law, fishing gear licenses cannot be transferred from one person to another.
 Legal provisions prohibiting transfer of fishing gear licenses became effective for the first time this year, according to c. L. Ander- son, Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. AS a result, he said, many fishermen may not be acquainted with the new law.

Qualification of an airways Serv- ing Kodiak Island was favored by a majority of the Chamber of Com merce members present at the meeting Thursday noon at the Island Fountain.
 The vote was taken following a motion by Merrill Coon calling for the Chambers stand on the issue, Coon stated in his opinion Kodiak would be going back five years in progress, should Kodiak Airways or some other airways not be granted certification. The motion carried over the protest of Pete Deveau, who stated he thought the Chamber should wait until after the hearing today (Friday) before taking a stand.

Concert Series
 Begins In October

The 1960-61 season of the Alaska Music Trail will open in October with the first re-engagement of a major artist, master folk singer and guitarist, Richard Dyer-Ben- net. He has been brought back by popular demand.
 Since his last tour of Alaska in the spring of 1857, Dyer-Bennet has continued to delight audiences from coast to coast, and again packed Town Hall in New York last month for his yearly recital there.
 Concert officials stated they are very fortunate in securing his re- engagement, and feel it is due to his interest in Alaska. He was so impressed with its beauty that the summer after his first concert tour here, he took his family to spend a week in Sitka.
 In 1857 Dyer-Bennet had just formed his own recording com pany, and his first recording was released in time for the Alaska tour. The eighth record of his rep ertoire has recently been issued, and received rave reviews from coast to coast.
 The second artist will give Alas ka Music Trail audiences the rare chance to hear the North American debut of one of the greatest prodi- gieS in the violin world today, 14- year-old Regis Pasquier.
 Son of Pierre Pasquier of the famed Pasquier Trio, young Regis astonished Paris when he won the Premier Prix (First Prize) at the Conservatoire at the age of 12.
 The first Alaskan artist to ap- pear on the Alaska Music Trail, pianist Michi North, a child pro- dizzy in her native Japan, who made her debut with orchestra accompaniment in Tokyo at the age of 8, playing a Mozart Con- certo, is the third artist in the series. She is now living in Anchor age, and is the wife of Dr. Murray North, Director of the Anchorage School of Music.
 World famous mezzo soprano Nan Merriman will conclude the season. Discovered by Toscanini, Miss Merriman is now a star of concert, opera and oratorio on four continents.

New Clam Process May Extend Season

Frank McConaghy, general sup erintendent for the Alaska Pack CTS, reported to the Chamber of Commerce Thursday, that his com pany is experimenting with can- ming cockerels for making into clam chowder.
 The experiments are being car ried on at the company's plant at Cordova, he said, and are proving successful. McConaghy stated the experiments may open a new field and add three months to the can ming season. Washington state, he said, has been making test dredg- ings in 12 to 15 feet of water and found clans plentiful.

Lyndon Johnson Is Running Mate

LOS ANGELES R-Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson is the Democratic choice as running mate for presi- dential nominee Sen. John Ken. nedy. He was nominated by Gov. David Lawrence of Pennsylvania. The nomination was seconded by Sen. Henry Jackson.
 Johnson was called the strong right arm for Kennedy. The n0mi- nation was held by some as prOvid. ing a dream" ticket. Dissatisfac- ton, however, was felt among lib- erals from Michigan, California, Wisconsin and District of COlum- bia delegates. G. Mennen Williams, governor of Michigan, called choice of Johnson "a mistake"
 LOS ANGELES R-Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts held the cherished Democratic presidential nomination following the ballot ing Wednesday.
 But his roughshod ride over all opposition on the first ballot left some gaping holes in the strong and united party in all parts of the United States" which he told cheering convention he will lead into the November election.
 In a demonstration of power that surprised even his own lead CTS, Kennedy swept to a smashing first4tally victory as the first Roman Catholic to be nominated for the presidency since Al Smith in 1928.
 He rolled over Johnson, the South's choice, who collected only 409 votes. He left Adlai E. Steven son, the darling of the sentimental galleries, far behind with 791a scat tered votes. Symington with 86 votes was far behind kennedyS 306.
 The booming tallies of the big states, where the heavy electoral college vote will count most in November, put Kennedy across. In the showdown, New York laid 1O41a votes on the line for the Massachusetts senator. Pennsyl- vania clipped in with 68, Ohio 64, Illinois 6115, Michigan 4212, Mas sachusettS Al, Indiana 34 and Cali fornia 3312
 But the South wanted none of the 43-year-old gladiator. Kennedy didn't get single convention vote from Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Caro- lima, Tennessee, Texas or Virginia. He harvested only 3l9 in Alabama and 6 in North Carolina.

 WORLD TRADE-Press for re- duction of foreign carriers for U S. products.

1000 Teenagers Work
On Northern Forests

More than Thousand teenagers
found employment on national forests
in the Northern Region during the
year just ended, according to Chas.
L. Tebbe, regional forester.
An estimated total of 1,007 49, and
19-year-olds were employed on for
ests in Montana, northern Idaho and
northeastern Washington. The young
people worked at such jobs as engi-
neering aides, fire control aides, look
outs, laborers, forestry aides, and
cooks helpers.
Tebbe stated that person must
be at least 18 years of age before he
can be employed by the Forest Serv-
ice. He added that great deal of
the work done by teenagers is sea-
sonal in nature, permitting their en-
ployment without interfering with
their school work.

TIMBER brought the problem of

Because gas heating was causing

There he was warned it would cost
him over 500 month to heat his
modest manse. The present price of
gas is because of the Canadian i'm
ports. If the Canadians develop their
own markets this, too, would become
an out-of-reach fuel.

hostility toward Highway officialdom,
in Montana and the nation over, is
'Ethe arbitrary disdain for public
opinion shown by highway engi-
neers. 81
He said it lis a fundamental pre-
mise with Americans to resent
public servants assuming the role
of master :"
Speaking ON the kinds of roads
Montanans want and the ways and
means of paying for them, the VOICE
Editor told his audience that weight
distance or some variation of the
Oregon law provides 'Sthe only prov
en- method of fairly spreading high
way cost responsibility between the
various types of users"
THUMBNAIL SKETCH
Salient points in favor of weight
distance. he said, are:
One: Such law taxes trucks on
basis similar to the way the truckers
charge you for hauling freight
weight times distance hauled.
Two: 1t is fair and equitable in
that it is paid in direct proportion to
the use which is made of the highway
facilities.
Three: Such tax is directly re-
lated to the cost of providing high
ways for each class of vehicle and is
in keeping with the primary
equitable objective of highway tax.
Four: Weight-Distance may be ad-
justed to return the required revenue
and still retain the economic and
equitable balance among wide vari-
ETY. of operators.
Five: Administrator of weight
distance, as proven over 13-year
period in the State of Oregon, can
be handled with reasonable efficiency.
The cost of collection in that state
averages approximately A " per cent
Of the gross revenues, and losses due
to evasion have been negligible.

Wednesday Gov. J. Hugo Aronson
and Secretary of State Frank Murray
opened the 1860 series of Board of
Examiners meetings. (64 sessions

for the Diagnostic Veterinarian lab
oratory in Bozeman were scheduled
for February II.
The Capitol concessions (chow and
coffee bars in the Capitol and Mitch

resulted in lowering the cost of re-

Old furniture at the old mansion
was sent to the Girls Vocational
School to be refinished for use at
that institution.
Final approval of the Unemploy-
ment Compensation building in Glen

ishing work is completed.
Reports from the Fire Marshall's
office show the Montana and Kansas
buildings and the receiving hospital
at Warm Springs are without proper
fire escapes. The School of Mines in
Butte was advised the lighting system
over exists was inadequate.
Travel requests from 10 depart
ments were approved including the
trip to Atlanta of Edith Kuhns. head
of the Board of Health Laboratory.
Miss Kuhns is going to conference

HI-COST JUICE STYMIES
ELECTRIC HEATING

TIMBER would like to employ some
one to install nice heating system.
He is stymied because there is no
competitive electrical distribution sys-
tenn to bring rates within reason
through use of some of the juice
generated across the valley by the
federal Canyon Ferry Dam, which is
presently held captive by Montana
Power.
Monopolistic utilities, such as Mon
tana Power, use the rate gouge to
pay lobbyists to- defeat the creation
of competitive Public Utility Districts.

priced electric power to Mrs. TIMBER
