APPEALS TO ALASKA
JUNEAU—A world-famed clin
ic at Geneva, Switzerland which
had been obtaining reindeer
glands from Finland for medical
purposes has appealed to Alaska
to replace the supply cut off sud
denly by the Finnish war.
A letter was received by the
Juneau Rotary club from Dr H
Koechlin whose address is Acien
Chesde Contonal de Geneva. Dr
Koechlin a Rotarian wrote that
he needed a supply of reindeer
glands and asked that the club
cable hi immediately the name of
a veternarian in the reindeer
country.
The letter has been referred to
the office of Indian affairs which
plans to take care of Dr Koech
lin’s request through the rein

, ALASKA SPORTSMAN FOR
I MARCH NOW ON SALE
For Jay Ellis Ransom a young
| man attending the University of
! Washington the “Chance of a
: Lifetime” came when he got a
! job on an Alaska cannery tender.
That was in 1936 and this job
meant so much to him that he
left the University even said
goodbye to his fiancee and came
to Alaska in search of the oppor
tunities that the Northland seem
ed to hold for him.
Even though he did not find at
first what he was looking for he
was convinced that he was to
make Alaska his home.
The story of Mr Ransom’s
search for a home success and
; happiness begins in the March is
■ sue of The Alaska Sportman mag
azine which is now on sale. It is
entitled “The Chance of a Life
time” and is the first of a series
of three chapter of his complete
; story “I Found a Home in Al
! aska.”
i
| There are many tales of man’s
l empty-handed encounter with a
bear and they are usually true
lending with the one result, dis
aster—for the human being. Rade|
Peckovich of Funter Bay on Ad-|
miralty Island had one such ex- j
perience although he is one of!
the lucky few who remained
alive. The story of his hand-to- ^
hand battle and how he happens j
to be alive today is told by Con
rod Puhr in the article “He Grap
j pled with a Bear” also in the!
March issue of “Alaskas Maga
I zine”
Other stories of this number of
the Sportsman are: "Arctic Sea j
Battle” by the well-known Alas-!
I kan writer D L Sancranct; “Mink
Rancher” which tells of raising
mink in captivity on the Kenai
I Peninsula written by Lois Hud
son Allen; and “Fish Trap Pat-1
