...that as it may, the College administration encourages more in the way of activities than slalom-skiing and salmon fishing. President Dickey believes that "it is not the business of the college to intrude on the established religious beliefs of any person but it is the duty of the College to the moral and spiritual ingredients of a good life...
...episode, it is a widely popular feature on such local shows as Manhattan's Children's Theater starring Ray Forrest. Big Top and Super Circus supply acrobats and trapeze acts; some of the Saturday morning shows include education films dealing with the home life of otters and salmon. The CBS dog show Lassie is soon to get a canine rival in ABC's filmed Rin Tin Tin. ABC's Kukla, Fran & Ollie is seen every weekday, but its gentle humor probably has a larger audience among grownups than kids...
NORTH TO DANGER, by Virgil Burford as told to Walt Morey (254 pp.; John Day $3.75) makes a fine companion piece to Scott's elephant adventure. Diver Burford spent years in Alaska, mostly pirating salmon from cannery-owned traps or diving to the ocean floor to mend the same traps -amidst sharks and 20-foot octopuses. Once Burford was manning the airline on board ship when another diver in the water below rashly tried to spear an octopus. A hairy tentacle shot out, and for three hours the diver (Scotty Evans by name) was caught 70 feet down...
...river was blocked by slides, and fish runs dwindled disastrously. To lure them back, the International (U.S. & Canadian) Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission was formed in 1937, and ten years later had completed concrete fishways around the impassable stretches to help the salmon go upriver. Each year since then, the fish have swarmed back in ever-greater numbers (TiME, Oct. 3). Loyd A. Royal, U.S. biologist who heads the commission's scientific staff, believes that after a few more spawning cycles (four years), the annual catch will top 25 million, divided equally between fishermen of both countries...
...successful fish restoration project has already prompted rehabilitation of British Columbia's salmon-sterile Quesnel River, where a 2,000,000 yield is expected in 1957. A $1,300,000 fishway-building program is under way to bring salmon back to the once-prolific waters of rivers in the state of Washington. Industry and government studies have also been started of Alaska's icy rivers, where this year's sockeye catch was skimpy for the second successive season. But thanks to the commission's fishways, 90% of the U.S. salmon pack this year will be sockeye...
