BUREAU OF FISHERIES ISSUES
INTERESTING REPORT
ON FISH
NEW YORK, Dec. 31. (/P)—1The pre
judice of the American housewife
against frozen fish is disappearing, the
Bureau of Fisheries, Department of
Commerce, says in a statement show
ing the holdings of fish in frozen stor
age has increased in the past year by
12,675,000 pounds on November 15.
Frozen fish, if properly handled, is ful
ly equal to most fresh fish, says the
bureau. The full text of the state
ment, which was issued on December
9, follows:
The frozen fish holdings on Novem
ber 15, were 74,500,000 pounds for the
same period last year. This is an in
crease of 12,675,000 pounds.
The holdings of halibut exceeds 11,
000,000 pounds, which is an increase
of 1,600,000 pounds over 1925 and
mackerel exceeds 10,500,000 pounds,
an increase of 3,600,000 over 1925.
Greater care is now exercised in
freezing fish, than at any other time
in the history of the industry, ac
cording to Lewis Radcliffe, Deputy
Commissioner of the Bureau of Fish
eries, who said that the prejudices
of many of the housewives against
frozen fish is disappearing, with edu
cation and a better understanding of
the fact that fish frozen shortly after
capture at the point of production and j
properly stored will be fully the equal
of most fresh fish.
EXPENSIVE RABBIT SIT
RECENTLY IN FUSE
PARIS, Jan. 4. (/P)—The most ex
pensive rabbit in France is the one
shot by one of three men recently ar
rested at Bourg, and fined 14,600
francs for poaching.
The high priced rabbit also empha
sized the increasing importance at
tached to violation of the hunting
regulations by the government. The
three men tried to bag bunnies by
training their automobile headlights
on the game at night. Frightened
rabbits, caught in the beam of light,
seemed unable to get out of it and
ran back and forth, dazed in the
glare of the lamps, until captured or
killed.
MUSIC SOOTHES SICK
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 4. (IP)—Music has
a soothing effect on the sick, experi
ments here showed.
Pain-racked bodies in the fracture
ward of the City Hospital ceased their
tossing after musicians had completed
a test program. The Board of Religi
ous organizations announced musi
cians would be trained at once for reg
ular visits to St. Louis hospitals.

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory's possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
