MARTIN LUTHER
Author of the great hymn of the Reformation
‘ A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”
Even tho he was the Great Reformer among
men, yet he was also gifted with such a heart love
for children. He wrote this well-known carol:
Away in a manger, no crib for his bed.
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky look down where he lay.
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

Dog Problem
Cost Fairbanks
Over $11,500 in ’55
FAIRBANKS, l£)—During the
10-month period ending Dec. 31
the City of Fairbanks spent $11,
533,75 to rid itself of 812 loose
dogs, according to figures re
leased by City Manager Matt
Slankard.
The city has an agreement with
the Alaska Humane Society for
loose dog control and is waging a
•battle to prevent reoccurances of
instances where children have
been mauled or bitten by large
dogs.
The city manager says that
many of the dogs that are found
loose in the city come from areas
outside the city limits, which
makes the situation difficult, but
city police have been helping out.
Until there is some kind of con
trol outside the city, Slankard
said, loose dogs will continue to
be a problem within the city.
Complaints were received re
cently regarding the manner in
which dogs were destroyed by
city police. A procedure has been
set up to take care of this, Slank
ard said.

Convention Vote
Draws Protest of
Sportsmen
JUNEAU —The Constitution
al Convention’s vote Thursday to
leave administration of Alaska's
game and fisheries up to the leg
islature of the future state drew
a sharp protest Friday from the
president . of the Territorial
Sportsmen, Ine.
A. W. Boddy of Juneau took is
sue with W. O. (Bo) Smith of
Ketchikan, chairman of the re
sources committee, on Smith’s
statement that spokesmen for
commercial fishermen had flood
ed his committee with telegrams
stating that the issue should be
left up to the legislature.
Smith was quoted as saying the
Alaska fisheries board and the
Alaska Department of Fisheries
“have asked that the issue be
left up to the legislature.”
Boddy said it was hard to un
derstand Smith’s statement in
view of the publicly expressed op
position of both sportsmen and
commercial fishing groups to the
convention delegating administra
tion of fish and wildlife to the
legislature.
“We’ve presented conclusive
evidence on the position of the
majority of sportsmen and com
mercial fishermen, including the
Alaska Native Brotherhood, on
this issue,” Boddy declared. “We
have proposed that the adminis
tration of game and wildlife be
specifically delegated to two sep
arate commissions on a non-par
tisan basis.”
“Apparently the delegates have
ignored our feelings on this issue.”
A spokesman for the Alaska
Department of Fisheries agreed
that both the department and the
Alaska Fisheries Board did rec
ommend that this matter be left
up to the legislature. But they de
nied that these two groups were
opposed to constitutionally pro
vided commissions.
“The thinking of the depart
ment and the board was that it
would be preferable to provide
flexibility in the administration
of Alaska’s fisheries in the fu
ture,” the spokesman said. “But
it wa,' also felt that if the conven
tion decided to provide for com
missions we would not oppose it,
providing that the administration
of commercial and sports fisheries
were put under a single board or
commission.”
