Fisheries Official
Proposes Bag Limit
In Bristol Bay
ANCHORAGE — Denton
Moore of Naknek, manager of the
Bristol Bay Fish and Producers
Assn., called on the Alaska Board
of Fish and Game and the state
to tighten up management of the
El fishery next year, imposing if
K - necessary a bag limit on the catch
F to protect the resource.
|i Moore was one of a number of
H| persons who testified at the Fish
and Game Board hearings which
will continue through Saturday.
There was standing room only
for late comers to the hearings,
at which the public was invited
to give its opinion of proposed
changes in the fish and game
lations.
r
The huge red salmon run that
returned to the Bay in 1960 and
the prospect of a big run this
year brought many new boats and
fishermen to the Bay for the
past season, he said.
If toe same fishing effort is
made next year with many put
side boats coming in, toe season
could be disatrous, Moore said.
Them were some 4,000 parsons
living in the Bristol Bay area who
depend oa fishing for their livi
hood, and toe fishery must be pre
served, he said.
A bag limit on catches would
not be out of order next year if
it becomes apparent that an ade
quate eacapment of salmon to toe
spa wing ground is not being
achieved, he said.
Moore charged there has been
“ftagarant and willful violation
of closed areas" in Bristol Bay
and demanded that the state crack
down on fishermen who fish in
these areas and those who make
such illegal fishing possible by
buying illegal catches.

Host of Ghosts
Don’t Scare
Farmer Shinn
MENA, Ark. (£» — It’s going to
take more than ghost or a host of
ghosts to run farmer C. E. Shinn
off the land he has occupied for 4ft
years.
Shinn, 72, his wife, 70, and their
grandson moved out of their five
roam house Saturday night for a
rest after antics of a mischevious
“ghost” left them sleepless.
But they moved back in Sun
day and Shinn said he was going:
to stay.
“We just don’t believe to
ghosts,” he said resolutely. “When
something is done, humans have
to do it.”
For more than a year, some
thing has been harassing the
Shinns in their house 3 miles
west of this west Arkansas town.
They say that the family Bible
floats through toe living room,
furniture is suddenly overturned.
Chairs fly from the kitchen into
toe living room. Two figurines
were smashed against the back of
Shinn’s head.
Charles Shaeffcr, 15, the grand
son who lives with the elderly
couple says the covers had been
jerked off his bed in the middle
of the night.
Awakened one night by howl
ing and hissing sounds, Shinn
said, Mrs. Shinn asked whatever
it was to be quiet. It didn’t. Then
she asked It to go to sleep.
“I don’t sleep,” came the reply,
i Shinn said.
1 “Will you let me sleep? Mrs.
■ Shinn asked.
“You don’t need to sleep
■ either,” was toe answer.
Saturday night .the Shinns went
*«> #ft>y with relatives and Sheriff
Bruce Scoggins took three officers
and four newsmen to spend toe
night in the house.
They neither saw nor heard
anything out of toe ordinary. The
Shinns moved back in and the old
farmer says he’s there to stay.
Deputy Sheriff John Egger
said: “There’s no doubt queer
things have been going on around
here. I can’t explain it. Of course,
no one believes in ghosts.”
