Pinewood Derby Set
For Saturday Night
Saturday evening is a big night
for all Cub Scouts and their dads
as they have been putting in a
lot of work on their Pinewood
Derby entries being held at the
Nome School. The Derby starts
at 7:00 p. m. Saturday.
The big racing event is open to
the public and if the popularity
of the annual event in past years
is an index there should be a
good crowd and many racing cars
entered in the event.
Judges for the event will be
Marc Beauchamp and Miss Bar
bara Cooper of the Nome School
staff.
The racers are built by the Cub
Scouts and their fathers from kits
supplied by the Cub Scout Com
mittee. The kits are all identical
but the cars differ with the in
genuity and imagination of the
builders.
Each racer may not weigh more
than five ounces — and this year
— a new speed twist has been
added: a drop of oil will be al
lowed on each wheel.
Part of Third Ave. Closed
Third Avenue from just be
yond Green’s Service Station to
West D Street was closed to traf
fic today. Nick Lean of the BPR
said the black top is “floating”
due to improper drainage and
frost leaving the subgrade. It will
remain closed until the roadway
stabilizes itself.

The Fire Department was called

No Spring Waterfowl
Season Brings Protests
The recent announcement that
the Federal Fish and Wildlife
Service had disallowed any spring
waterfowl season, has brought
protests from at least two sources.
The natives themselves claim
they are entitled to take water
fowl in the spring for subsistence
—that this is one of their abori
ginal rights.
Along this line, State Sen. Les
Bronson has lodged a protest with
the Alaska delegation in Congress,
Sens. Bob Bartlett and Ernest
Gruening, and Rep. Ralph Rivers.
Bronson’s protest requests
that natives be allowed to take
waterfowl each spring during a
30-day season starting April 25.
He also said that the subsist
ence hunting of the natives would
be insignificant when compared
to the total escapement and that
it is badly needed by the natives
as a source of food.
He has, as yet, received no
reply from any of the Alaska
members of Congress.

Killing Mountain Goat
Out of Season Costs
Georgia Man $500
SKYKOMISH, Wash. UP) — For
killing a mamma mountain goat
out of season, Woodrow Helpfrey
of Savannah, Ga., was fined $1,000
at a trial Wednesday night in jus
tice court. Half the fine was sus
pended.
Arrested after some fiction
style detective work by state
game protectors, Helpfrey de
manded an immediate trial.
He pleaded guilty when pro
tector Norman E. Mattson told
the court:
The mother goat — her kids
had vanished when protectors ar
rived — was killed Tuesday in
the mountains near Skykomish.
Protectors dug the bullet from
the carcass and took the rifles
of two suspects to the Crime
Laboratory of the Seattle Police
Department.
The slug came from Helpfrey’s
rifle, Mattson testified.
The Georgian was held in the
local jail pending payment of the
unsuspended $500.
