Bag Limits for
Waterfowl Almost
Same as in 1953
The 1954 waterfowl hunting
season will open Sept. 1 every
where in Alaska except the First
Division and the Kodiak-Afognak
Islands, according to advices re
ceived here.
Regulations and bag limits for
this year are almost identical with
those of last year. The season
will close Nov. 14.
Bag and possession limits, ac
cording to the summary of the
1954 regulations received here,
are:
Game ducks: Seven a day and
14 in possession; geese: 3 and 6;
mergansers: 25 and no limit after
first day; old squaw, harlequin,
scoter, and eider: 10 of each or

The season on jacksnipes runs

Hunting hours also are the
same as they were last year: from
noon to sunset on opening day,
and thereafter from a half hour
before sunrise to sunset.
It still is unlawful to shoot
wateriowl with a rifle or pislo'l,
but a bow and arrow is a legal
weapon. Shotguns must be plug

Hunting from a power boat (in
cluding outboards when the motor
is attached) or a sailboat is pro
hibited, unless the boat is fasten
ed within or tied alongside a sta
tionary hunting blind.

HOMfe-MADE CORN
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., OP) —
Defendant John Wilmoth, a moun
taineer, when asked at a U. S.
Commissioner’s hearing why he
had been manufacturing corn,
replied:
“I just can’t drink that stuff
you sell in the (liquor) stores
down here in Winston-Salem. It
ain’t a thing in the world but old
chemicals. I’ve got to have good
liquor.”
He was held for federal grand
jury action.
A recent study of athletes indi
cates that deterioration of their
bodies in later life was due to ex
cesses in eating, drinking and
smoking rather than to early ath
letics. Those who’ remained active
athletes wc-re in better condition
than average men of the same age.

■ WASHINGTON, Of)—Two gov
ernment ice breakers have pio
neered a “Northwest Passage,”
cutting through a frozen barrier
on the shortest all - water route
linking the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans.
A longer route through the vast
ice fields north of the Arctic
Circle—sought by explorers since
the days of Columbus—was navi
gated in 1906.
Although the U.S. ships didn’t
make the complete passage from
one ocean to the other, they plow
ed their way through the only
major obstacle to such a trip.
Announcement of the historic
voyages was made Friday by the
Navy. It said the Navy ice break
er Burton Island and the Coast
Guard’s North Wind were the
first to push their way through
McClure Strait, connecting the
Arctic Ocean and Viscount Mel
ville Sound.
This Strait, lying between Mel
ville and Banks Island in Can
ada’s Northwest Territory, pre
viously has blocked the most di
rect water passage across the roof
of the world.
The new route is choked with
heavy ice floes and will have no
commercial value. But it does
mark a significant achievement
for science and exploration—and,
doubtless, for military authorities
concerned with that part of the
Western Hemisphere.
Passage through the Strait from
east to west was made Aug. 13-21.
The two vessels left San Diego
early in July and expect to com
plete their cruises late next
month.
The first water passage north
of Canada was made via a dif
ferent route by Capt. Roald
Amundsen, the Norwegian ex
plorer. Amundsen’s voyage, in
cluding exploratory stopovers,
took more than three years and
was completed 48 years ago.
This month’s successful attempt
was aided by better than normal
ice conditions, the Navy reported.
Polar ice floes on the southern
side of the Strait were from 4 to
8 feet thick. Ice along the north
ern side ranged from 6 to 10 feet
in thickness.
The Burton Island is command
ed by Cmdr. Everett Trickey of
Arlington, Va. The North Wind’s
commander is Capt. William L.
Maloney of Bayside, Long Island,
N.Y.

wonderful relief.
