RIFLES FOR HOME
GVARD IN ALASKA
■Offieal notice that 2.000 Enfield
1917 model, rifles, complete with
bayonets and accessories, have
been assigned for use by the Al
aska home guard units was re
ceived a: Juneau recently, it was
announced by James J. Ryan. Al
aska civilian defense administrat
or.
Ryan said he will go to San
Francisco to endeavor to arrange
shipments of the arms on an
army transport.
The arms were promised Ryan
when he was in the east recent
ly. At that time, he posted bond
for return of the rifles to the
states and was appointed proper
ty officer for the Territorial
Ouard.
Only items of expense entailed
in bringing the arms to the Terri
tory will be about $300 for pack
ing charges and the transporta
tion cost, Ryan pointed out. If
transportation on a transport
ship can be arranged through the
San Francisco Presidio, from
which point the arms will be
shipped, the later cost may be
cut out, he believes.
Each Alaska town is to have
Considerable local authority in
the organizing of home guard
units, Ryan declared. Distribu
tion of arms to the guard units
wi'l be made on the basis of their
local needs, he said.
Euthusiasm to organize a home
guard unit is strong in Anchor
age, Ryan declared. At Seward,
on the other hand, there is not
much interest in th home guards,
because soldiers are stationed
right in the city.
Ryan praised the Douglas
home guard organization, which
he said Capt. R. A. Andrews or
ganized since last Christmas
time. He reported that in Juneau
110 men have signed with Frank
Metcalf, home guard organizer,
as willing to serve. Active organ
ization of a home guard unit in
Juneau awaits only the delivery
of rifles, R>an declared.

ANOTHER I AND GRAB BY
INTERIOR DEPARTMENT
WASHINGTON, D C. — Pub
lication of an executive order es
tablishing the Kodiak National
Wildlfe Refuge on Ugank and
Kodak Islands. Alaska, for the
protecton of brown bears, drew
from Delegate Dimond of Alas
ka the assertion it would have
been better to leave the land
open to settlement.
The order sets aside all of Ug
anik and part of Kodiak totalling
1 .D75.000 acres which is with
drawn from entry and settle
ment permitted only in a strip
one mile wide along the shore
line.
“The setting aside of an area
to protect brown bears is unnec
essary," Dimond said “The bears
have increased rapidly in recent
years and in some sections are
becoming a nuisance. It would
be better to leave the islands
open to settlement.”
The fish and wildlife service of
the interior department said the
order was routine to set up a
management area for protection
of the bears and it would be ad
ministered under direction of the
Alaskan game commission. It
said hunting would be permitted
in the refuge under regulations
■of the commission.
_
The Treasury Department has
anounced that, in re.-rDnise to
many requests, it has extended
until October 31, 1941, the time
for filing the census reports of
foreign-owned property on Form
TFR-3O0. The census was order
ed by the Secty. of the Treasury,
with the approval of the Presi
dent, on June 14, 1941, simultan
eously with the issuance of the
Executive Order freezing the as
sets of all countries in continent
al Europe not previously block
ed. Treasury officials again em
phasized that under the Order
and the Regulations of June 14,
1941, reports on Form TFR-300
are required to be filed with re
spect to the property of blocked
countries and nationals thereof.
The Foreign Exchange Commit
tee of New York recently pub
lished a series of question and
answers particularly relating to
banks, which it had prepared af
ter consultation with the Trea
sury. These have been made
available to every bank in Alas
ka and additional copies may be
had from the Governor’s office.
Other groups have likewise pre
sented inquiries which are being
considered. It is be’ieved that by
this cooperation between the
Treasury and persons obliged to
report, both the accuracy of the
reports and the convenience of
persons reporting will be pro
moted.

Plane Talk
---
If you see Larry Galvin these j
days walking a little faster, and
; smiling a little broaded, put it |
down as a result of his first solo j
flight which was completed Mon- j
day aftrenoon at the new airport.
Instructor Whaley states that I
Larry did a good job and land-1
ed the Flit-Fire very competent- !
ly. If you doubt Frank Whaley’s j
words, you have only to cast an
eye at Larry. The Irish exuber- [
ance is there in full strength.
It looks like it’s going to be a
co d winter for lots nf people as
stove fixer upper Larry Galvin
has always been a hard man to j
find and now that the spell of,
| soaring through space has claim
ed him, he will be more elusive
than ever. At least one will
know where to find him but to
get at him is the problem. Larry
is student No. 5 to solo.
Dr. Anderson, a new-comer to
Nome is a new student, also
Allan Lee and Merle Smith.
Students are very enthusiastic
about the new airport, especially
those who have soloed. The
smooth, long runways are a
dream after the bumps and holes i
of the fast-disintegrating old
field.
W’rite to your friends and rela- j
tives on the ‘Outside,’ using Sour- !
dough Stationery. They’ll get a
big kick out of it.

THERE COES PART OF HER SHIR T—Barbara Kent, Briton who’s learning to fly at
a Long Island flying school, gives up this part of her shirt-tail gladly, for it spells her induction into
the Tail Feathers club and means she’s solo-ed safely. Chief Instructor M. E. Grevemberg tacks up the
labeled shirt-piece which w as snipped off by Helen Peck (left).
