Arctic Circle Chamber
Objects to Open Season
On ‘Private’ Reindeer
The Arctic Circle Chamber of
Commerce has written to Clarence
Anderson of the Department of
Fish and Game, expressing disap
proval of the recent regulations
adopted by the department, in
opening Seasons for wild or feral
reindeer in Game Management
Units 22 and 23. “The Reindeer
industry will 'suffer cjire conse
quences if these regulations are
not given further consideration
and immediate withdrawal from
the 1960 Game Regulations,”
writes the Chamber.
“Reindeer play an important
role in the economy of the Eskimo
people in these areas,” the letter
continues. “Reindeer products are
sold in the large cities of Alaska,
and even in the other states. They
are found in all villages within
thq reindeer area. Demand for
reindeer is increasing each year.
How can the industry be main
tained when the Alaska Depart
ment of Fish and Game declares
open season on privately-owned
livestock animals.”
They urged that the words [
wild or feral reindeer be imme-1
diately stricken from the 1960,
Game Regulations.
MERCHANTS ARE TOO MUCH
FOR HORNETS; GUARD
SWAMPS NANOOKS
The rebounding and sharp
shooting of the National Guard
quintet was too much for the
High School Nanooks, as they
pounded out a 72 - 32 win last
Friday night. Korky Kost scored
27 points, and Dave Pell posted
17, and Bill Caldwell made lS^for
the Guards, while Herman, with
13, and James Bell, with 7, were
high for the Nanooks.
In the second game, “Big Will”
Strane, for the Merchants, was
too much for the Hornets under
the boards, as he collected 26
mbounds and scored 29 points.
Austin of the Hornets did an ad
mirable job, collecting 16 re
bounds and scoring 19 points.
Tony Willoya couldn’t find his
'shooting eye, but performed cred
itably for the Hornets. The game
was close most of the way, with
I he Merchants moving out in front
only in the last quarter. Final
scorn, Merchants 55, Hornets 42.
The School Band, under the able
direction of Mr. Barber, enter
tained the fans, with appropriate
numbers for the occasion.
