lightning periods. They were used to drop fire-retardant chemicals just ahead of the burning areas.
 Stepped up preseason training of nearly TOO native fire fighters paid off when many were gath cred up from the isolated villages as ground forces to support the smoke jumpers. Better training of all ELM fire control personnel also paid dividends during criti- cal periods.
 Fire control is launched from two major bases of operation, An chorage and Fairbanks, under the direction of two fire control off cers, James Scott and Richard Le- Dosquet. Within these two dis tricts are other decentralized bases throughout the state. The more important are at McGrath and Del ta under fire supervisors Bill Ad- ans and Wally yIXsen.
 According to Roger R. Robin son, state director for ELM, Alas ka's greatest renewable resource is her forest cover, and the big gest management problem is wild fire. An estimated 80 per cent of Interior Alaska's 225 million acre of forest and range lands requir- ing protection have been burned over one or more times in the past 70 years.
 There are no lookout towers in Alaska - and very few roads, bulldoZers CT fire trucks. Here, firefighting is mostly a job for aircraft and men on foot. Vast dis tances, long daylight hours, high temperatures, dry, flashy fuels, frequent lightning strikes, bad ter rain, limited equipment, and man. power all combine to make BLM's task of protecting the public lands from fire one of the toughest as signments of it's kind in the Uni ted States.

This year the Bureau of Land Management has held forest fires in Alaska to only l4,336 acres. Average size of the 206 fires was 70 acres per fire.
 During the peak of the season, Is to 20 widely scattered lightning fires a day were suppressed. This makes 1863 one of the most suc- ceSSful years on record
 During the past 25 years the average area burned has been nearly one million acres year. In the dry summer of 1857 more than five million acres went up in smoke.
 According to Denny Hess, Chief, Branch of Protection for ELM in Alaska, the good record for 1863 is the result of fast initial attack, more smokejumpers, good support
 
 ground forces. Intensive training, better weather forecaSting, and favorable breaks in the weather also contributed.
 Another record was set when 2l top fire-control personnel and BLMS DC-3, smokejumper plane, were sent to Boise, Idaho, for two weeks to assist during d critical run of fires in August. Alaska fire personnel are highly trained and experienced. But in previous years Alaska has had to import many outside supervisors. For the first time, the tables were turned this summer.
 Forty-seven smoke jumpers were trained at BLM's jump cen ter at Fairbanks early this spring. Twenty more jumpers were bor- roWed from the U. s. Forest Serv- Ice for SIX weeks. When all avail able jumpers were on going fires, p more were flown to Alaska from MiSsoula, Mont, for five days to help cover new fires.
 With total of 92 smoke jump CTS at peak of season strategically located at Fairbanks, McGrath and Anchorage, it was possible to keep the fires small. This has been inn possible in other years with few CT Jumpers all at one base of op- eration. Heretofore, not more than AZ jumpers have been available.
 Six BPS borate tankers under contract were strategically moved between Fairbanks, Galena, and Anchorage to cover predicted

Keith Matller
 Named CPI Head

Keith Benson Mather, noted Australian physicist, has beer named Director of the University of Alaska's internationally recog- nized Geophysical Institute.
 Mather was appointed by joint action of the University and the National Academy of Sciences The Act of the United States Con- gress which established the In- Stitute calls for the head of the Institute to be approved by the Academy President. Dr. Frederick Seitz, current president, gave un- qualified approval six months ago of the University's choice and commended University President William R. Wood for selecting "A man who has so well demonstrated his ability to assume responsibili- ty for the directorship."
 Mir. Mather distinguished him. self as a physicist in Australia before coming to the United States in 1861 or a Fulbright grant as a research geophysicist and profes- sor of physics at the Geophysical Institute.
 He served on the faculties of the University of Adelaide and University of Melbourne, Austra- lia; University of Ceylon, Ceylon; the University of Birmingham, England, and Washington Univer- sity at St. Louis, Missouri.
 The Geophysical Institute, which Mather will head, was established in 1850 at the University of Alas ka and delicated to the mainten- ance of geophysical research con- corning the Arctic regions. The study of auroral-zone phenome- non continues to be it's prime task and responsibility, though it's work since the International Geophy- sical Year has broadened in scope to include such areas as seismo- logy, vulcanology, and meteoro- logy.
 The Institute today has more than 30 research grants and con- tracts and a staff of 175. This year approximately 30 graduate stu dents in geophysics will be en- rolled at the University on mas ter of science anl doctoral pro- grams and participate in many of the major research projects.

Dan Is a hard worker, and
from the times we had clicked

Government employees, service

sional people. not coaches"
Harvey said.
Dryer has been hard at work
recently lining up enough Of
ficials for tomorrow's huge
schedule. Ollie says it will be
the biggest scholastic day he
can ever remember in the area; /;
Five copies Of each assign
ment are made a month In ad-
vance, two going to each Of
ficial and one to the school.
Each official signs one copy
and returns 1t to the commits
sioner to acknowledge he has
accepted the game.
II an official misses a game
without q legitimate excuse, he
is fined SIS - the fee for the
one game. The big problem for
the commissioners Is finding
last-minute requirements when
their staff Is exhausted.
In such cases, the four groups
turn to each other for help.
All officials are members of the
International Association of
Basketball Officials and thus
are eligible to work any game
in any area. Most officials
belong to several groups.
To make sure all the off,
cials keep on their toes, each
one is rated twice during a
season by an observer, who
makes a report to the commits
sioner. The officials must turn
over part Of his fee for a game
to the observer who rates him.
