Japanese Seek To Open
NorthPacific Seal Hunting
TOKYO, OP)—A week-long con
ference seeking a new throe
nation agreement on seal hunting
in the north Pacific has opened
here.
Fishery and biological experts
of Japan, Canada and the United
States are attending.
Japan, which has foregone the
hunting of seals in the north Pa
cific since 1951, reportedly now
feels the seal population has in
creased enough to relax conser
vation measures.
Canadian and U.S. authorities
unofficially have been reported
not entirely in agreement with
the Japanese view.
Use of fingerprints for identi
fication was widely used in the
ancient world, but a scientific de
velopment of the modern system
did not start until 18<23.
Legal Blanks at The Nome Nugget
Educated Padlock
It locks without fixtures
A NEW LOCK has turned up in
the hardware stores—sort of a
padlock that went to college. It
calls for no hooks or other attach
ments. Fine for workshop drawers
to protect youngsters from sharp
tools. The biggest advantage is
that you can take it with you
when traveling and lock almost
any closet door or bureau drawer
you come to in a hotel, without
marring the woodwork.
It has a strong knife-like- nook
that fits through the crack of a
door or drawer, fastening into the
latch plate. The lock itself slides
along notched blade until snug
against the door. When the key is
turned and removed the door
can’t be opened. It works on a
filing cabinet, too. Retails under
$3.
Called a “Travelok,” it is made
by the Yale & Towne Mfg. Co.,
Stamford, Conn.

REINDEER OVER-RUN TINY
ST. MATTHEW ISLAND
ANCHORAGE — Reindeer are
to tiny St. Matthem Island what
rabbits are to Australia.
Pests!
That’s the opinion of Dr. Robert
Rausch, who with his wife lived
five weeks of a Robinson Crusoe
like existence on the uninhabited
island last summer.
According to Dr. Rausch the 30
reindeer originally planted on the
island in 1942 by the coast guard
as a reserve food supply have in
creased to between 500 and 600.
They’re all over the island, the
scientist revealed, and they’re
eating up all the vegetation. In
fact, if the reindeer aren’t re
moved in a few years, St. Mat
thew will be a barren, lifeless
Arctic island.
Cause of this unbalance in na
ture on the island is the fact that
there exists on St. Matthew no
creatures capable of consuming
reindeer in quantity.
