THOUGHTS
 OF A AMMAN
Jonah

There is a tendency in our day to look upon the stories in the Bible as fables and i'm aginary happenings. We ap- peal to reason and not to faith. The story of Jonah has approved testimony of Christ Himself. Jonah was a definite person, who even wrote one of the books of the Bible. Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights. Christ in speak ing of His own death and resurrection says that as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights, so should Christ be in the bowels of the earth three days and three nights. What is better than the testi- mony of God Himself?

Inside his clean and comfor- table cabin stand homemade table and chairs made of spruce. On the shelves, neatly arranged, are long rows of the National Geographic magazine, issues dating from many years ago to the present time. There are also books from the pen of Darwin, Nietzsche, H. c. Wells tThe History of the World). and many other books and maga- zines.

 After many years as packer, miner, fur farmer, and any thing else a man can do in out door Alaska, he went to the States, bought a car, and tour ed every state in the Union.
 Coming back, he settled down to stay.

Strange Things
Dy HeiNiE SNYDER

The Sourdough pioneer may well be classified as a vanish ing race. The world has be- come so small that distance is almost eliminated. Travel by plane has cut weeks travel by boat to a couple of hours, and even the auto has helped greatly in making Alaska a place for tourists.
 You can consider yourself in luck to come across man like Jack Carson. About Is years ago, a report drifted into An chorage of gold found on Va kataga Beach. A friend of the family, Clyde Dimmick Ia pros pector and miner from Willow Creek, and the writer board ed plane to investigate.
 Although we gained lots of experience, we found little gold; but we had the good for tune to meet Ben Watson and his charming wife (who, by the way, carried my pack, shovel and pick across the Yakataga River, Mrs. Watson is postmaster at Yakataga.
 During the gold rush days, hampered by food shortage, wilderness. and no way of travel but over rough trails, the way of life was indeed a hard one; but not so for an- other newly found friend, Jack Carson, who lives on Cape Yakataga. Here he built a nice home on Little Creek, where his food swims past his door. This stream is about 30 miles from the Cape.
 Taking advantage of the fish supply, he catches the Coho salmon for smoking. Bears black, brown, and grizzly often raid his cleaning table, which is situated on the bank of the stream. The hides from those who tried to take posses sion of his cleaning table hang on the wall, while skulls and bones are dried for museum specimens.
 Fish bones and entrails are thrown in the creek, food for the trout who may be caught later for breakfast. Carson builds fire in an oil drum stove. and an underground passage directs the smoke into the smoking chamber.
 He also dries salmon. with the drying racks high above the ground out of the bear S reach. Jack gill-nets his sal mon, taking only enough for his own use and for dog food.
 He has team of fine re- trievers, which come in handy for bird hunting as well as for running his trap line and bring ing mail and supplies from Cape Yakataga.
 Berries, mainly blueberries, are put up in a keg. His vege- tables, lettuce, carrots, and po- tatoes, he grows on two feet of dirt on top of his cabin, with flowers on the outer edge giv- ing 1t the appearance of a Babylonian hanging garden.

CORSAIR ANNIVERSARY

To commemorate the 2Oth anniver- sary of the first time that the Cha nce- Vought FLU "corsair" went into com bat, a four-foot model of the famous propeller driven fighter was pre- sented to the Marine Corps on Fob ruary B, 1863.
 Brigadier General Norman J. ANDER- SON, Deputy Chief of Staff (Air), accepted tn model in behalf of thou sands of Marine pilots who flew the gull-winged aircraft from l9A2 until 1857.
 plaque on the model reads: -
 World War II F4U-l Corsair
 This l/9 scale model presented to Marine Corps Aviation as token tribute to those Marine Fighter Pi- lots with wings forever folded, Feb ruary B, 1863. Chance Vought Cor poration".
 The model will be displayed at Marine Corps Headquarters for brief time, and then moved to the Marine Corps Museum at Marine Corps Schools, Quantico, Virginia.
 Marine Pilots made over 65 per cent of the Corsair Xxi lis" in World War II. Operating primarily from island airstrips. they shot down HOO enemy planes. Marine air combat losses totalled only 14l Corsairs.
 The F4U's remained the top Navy and Marine Corps fighters until 1850. However, the advent of jet aircraft did not end the illus trious service of the "Whi hist1ing Death" --as the Japanese had named the Corsair. When the jet replaced it as the first-line fighter, the FLU was assigned the mis- sion of close air support.
 The Korean conflict saw the Corsair back in action. In the first 10 months of fighting, Corsairs flew 82 percent of the ground support mis- sions credi ted to Marine and Navy pilots.

"how's Fishinq?" We'll, It Depends,
 Says Dexter LaII

CdyS UexleI LdI
 How's fishing? We'll, it is poor, fair, average, good and excellent depending on what fishery you are talking about. Following is the answer given the Kodiak Mirror in solid statistics on the salmon (both pink-chum and red), razor clom, king crab, and dungeness
 Red Salmon
 A total of 5,594 cases of salmon were packed by six Kodiak Island canneries up through July 14th, according to figures released this week by ADF&G's Dexter Lall.
 The case pack (48 lib tails to easel by specie was: 3,486 Reds; 6,158 Pinks; 83Ha Cohos; 5,867 Chums.
 Lall advised that Red escape ment was low with only 49,OOO ac- ross the Red River wier which is way less than the 151,OOO escape ment recorded by this same date in 1861.
 Karluk escapement was still low with 166,000; Olga Bay only 22,0O0 and Lall said catches have been small.
 Pink Salmon
 The picture was somewhat brighter on the Pink Salmon out look for the island according to Lall
 "It is still encouraging and we feel it will be slightly better than average season. The states conser- vation efforts will pay off in time. it is only matter of time before the pink runs are built back up to normal for the odd years," Lall said.
 "The Pink and Chum escapement considered good at present and is slightly better than the parent year." said Lall.
 "The catches are normal for an odd year and slightly better than the parent year with daily catches of about 90,0O0 per day." Lall said.
 Razor Clans
 The razor clam picture is an i'm provement catchWise over last sea- son with total of 24,OOO pounds reported as compared with last years 32O,OOO total.
 Lall said the clam season term mated on July 11th excepting for experimental work with the mech anical harvester.
 King Crab
 The take of king crab increased by over 8,0OO,0OO pounds above the previous season with the record catch of 4,171,OOO pounds bringing the fiscal year total up to 6,793,0O0 pounds as compared with the 1961- 62 total of 28648, ,753 and the 196O- 61 season total of 21 ,465, 1925. The average weight per king crab dur ing the past season was 8.8 lbs.
 Dungeness Crab
 Kodiak is definitely in the dun- geness picture again this year with a total of 545,8OO pounds reported winch is about the same as last year for the same period of time, Lall said.

THE BUOY LINE

The worlds leading food and social scientists have just fin ished a meeting of such grave importance in Washington that everything else, our negotiation with Japan included, looks puny by comparison. This was the 100- nation meeting of the Food and Agriculture Organization = the FAO-of the United Nations.
 These men were gathered to talk about food. Whether or not we realize it, food and people are the most serious problems facing the world today. In the past 15O years, mankind has in- creased through war, famine and disease, by about 40O%. In 1880, there were billion peo- pie on this planet. By 1860, we doubled again to 4 billion. And in the year 2OOO, according to these men, there will be 8 bill lion mouths to feed!
 Hunger causes wars. And fam. inc could kindle a third world war, which could destroy the en- tire earth.
 It was this somber thought that underlay much of the meet ing. What can be done about it?
 The most obvious thing to do is save our resources, and culti- vate them carefully. This means preventing soil erosion, it means saving watersheds, and it means rational fishery conservation.
 The sea would undoubtedly be our greatest source of pro- tein by the year 20OO. It will, that is, if it hasn't been de- .stroyed by the unbelievable greed and calloused indifference for the future which has marked the Japanese and Russian fish, cry up to now.
 The American position at the Sea Law Conference in Geneva stressed the narrowest possible territorial sea for all nations in order to maintan easy entry for our battleships in various straits around the world. At that time, in 1858 and 1860, this was be- lieved to be in our best national interest, and the fisheries sim ply had to give way.
 But this isn't 1860 any more. Admiral Anderson, the out spoken advocate of huge air craft carriers has been fired, and more and more reliance is being placed instead on Polaris submarines and Minuteman mis- siles. And now, it's about time we took another look at where our national interest really lies.
 I think it lies on the 100 fathOm curve around every coastline in the world. I think the responsibility for preserving and maintaining a food supply for generations yet unborn is SD great that it can only be given to the individual countries who control the uplands adjacent to these shelf areas. Let the high seas fleets of Japan and Russia fish the high-seas. But by put ting the continental shelf under the direct supervision and con- trol of the many maritime na- tions of the world, we will be creating nursery areas not un- like the inland lake where our salmon spawn and are reared, which will not only give these countries, many of which are terribly underdeveloped and un- derfed already, Q resource rich in value, but will also guaran-
