5000 Moose

Over 5000 moose are estimated to be using the Kenai National Moose Range, as revealed by recent aerial moose survey.
 The actual count was 4064 moose. Of this number, B per cent were bulls, B per cent cows, 24 per cent calves, with small number undetermined.
 About 40 out of 100 cows had calves with them, indicating a high calf production and the gen eral good health of the moose herd. Moose browse on the 1947 Burn and several mild winters have made favorable factors in maintaining the well being of these animals.

Except for a duck ing and minor bruises there were no injuries suffered by Ray or his two daughters Marsha 9, and Linda 12, who were his passen- gers.
 Ray, coming in for a landing or the glassy. unruffled surface o3 the lake stalled out about 20 feet above the surface and nose dived in.
 The plane struck the water folding both floats back up against the struts and turned over on it's back. The back door flew off and Linda, who was in the back, climbed out on the faselage without difficulty. Mar sha was pinned in the front with her foot caught under the seat and the plane sank completely under before Ray managed to free her and push her out through the door. Ray then had to swim out from under water. 4I had a few anxious moments getting Marsha out" said Ray
 The three of them climbed up on the fuselage and when it sank completely they climbed up on the floats.
 John Hakala saw the crash from his home and with the aid of a neighbor rowed out in . boat and took them to his nearby home and gave them all dry clothes and hot drinks.

 In Kenai, he conferred with

 Bahizi saw goats, sheep and bear as we'll as moose. He could not visualize, however, the winter problems connected with the range, Hakala said, as there is 10 dormant season in the Congo, which lies along the equator.
 Bahizi, who speaks halting English, was accompanied by Morton Wood, operator of Camp Denali in Mckinley Park, who acted as interpreter. He came to America to learn administration of national parks and wildlife refuges.
 The 34-year-old Congolese is in the United States for a year un- der auspices of the U. s. State Department. The Congo parks must support themselves through mission and license fees, he said, as the government provides no money. The Congo is a former Belgian colony
 American hunters are most welcome in the Congo the director sald, due to over-population of game, which includes hippopota- muses, water buffalo, elephants, gorillas, gazelles and antelope. An American can hunt there for a week for $60 and is entitled to take two buffaloes, two elephants and a number of other animals, including antelope and gazelles.
 Bahizi said he plans to util ae advice and ideas obtained here in operation of parks in the Con- go and to open Congo wildife information center in New York, as well as to publish wildlife magazine.

However, this gap is not sufficient
to account for the big difference
