show when a fire started in a
small smoke-house-like building
midst of the time the games were
going on for the youngsters.
An old Ford rigged up as a fire
'.ruck loaded with hose and equip
nent rushed to the scene and
after hooking on to the hydrant
the signal for water was given.
Well, they got it—all over the
firemen; there were a dozen
breaks in the old 2V2 inch hose
and pressure was so low at the
ozzel that the stream was only
good for about 5 feet. While one
tireman was attempting to use an
xe the others were trying to
sit on the hoSe to build the pres
sure suffieent to put out the fire
At last the fire had had it's way
and a push sent the (i \ 3 build
ng over
The firemen then finished the
;ob and made heavy work of put
r.ng away their tools.
They lost the building but had
a good shower bath so the 1912
equipment on a 1923 Ford was
some good after all.
It was good for a big laugh
and that's what everyone had.
RACES FOR YOUNG FOLKS:—
Everyone had a good time
• atehing the different races and
c radically every boy and girl
from 21 years of age on down
’ >ok part.
A list of the winners is not yet
; vailable as we go to press.
Suffice it to say that for three
l ours every youngster in town I
as ompeting for something.

FIREWORKS—
Daylight fireworks were sot off
at the falls near the dock and |
; erial bombs shook the neighbor- ;
hood for an hour or so in a grand
::nale.

BEAN POT—
Max Pierce was winner of 50c
of the proceeds for Bean Pot tic
kets sold. The Pot brought $85.60
r.nd Pierces share was figured as
$40.00. ' i
People bought beans, took them
home, weighed them, counted
them figured every way to get a I
logical figure to make a guess on i
bat Mr. Pierce by a completely j
wild guess said there were 2248
beans- There were 2247 beans.

PLANES BUZZ TOWN—
Many persons were much start
led when plans 21151, 9956K. 43
38H. 70845. and 78703 made passes
at the main street of the town so
low you could have hit them
with a base ball. This perfor
mance lasted for about 15 or 20
minutes and was a demonstration
by courtesy of the local pilots.
* * ^
Financially the Celebration was
a complete success and it shows
that the two greatest organiza
tons of America's Best, The Am
erican Legion with The Ladies
Auxiliary and The Veterans of
Foreign Wars with The Ladies j
Auxiliary can work together to
ward a common objective in
peace just as they did during the
war. |
We want to see more of it for j
the good of our people.

ON THE BALLOT in the Oct. 12th election there will be a referendum on “the practice of fishing by means of traps should
be continued or . . . should he abolished." To abolish traps, we believe, would amount to confiscation and would permanently
injure the Territory of Alaska.
ALASKA NEEDS MONEY
TO GROW
How will other investors feel about
putting new money into the develop
ment of Alaska, if you vote to confiscate
traps? All Alaska will benefit by keeping
y
traps. Your vote against confiscation will
tell investors that their money is safe in
f ^
Alaska, that you want them to put more
money into Alaska and that you want
Alaska to grow and prosper. The salmon
industry needs traps to prosper. If
Alaska’s largest industry prospers, all
Alaska will prosper.
VOTE TO I
CONTINUE TRAPS!
Here's why YOU Should
VOTE to CONTINUE
TRAPS:
1. Traps mean jobs—not just for 45 days but for
six to nine months for approximately 4,000
people, mostly Alaskans.
2. Traps are the best means of conserving
Alaska’s salmon.
3. Traps pay taxes. Without them the Territory
■would have to levy additional taxes on all
other Alaska businesses and individuals.
4. Traps, together with mobile gear, allow can
neries to operate efficiently. Without traps,
at least 25 large canneries would close down
because they would be stripped of their de
pendable supply of salmon—thousands of men
would lose their jobs.
5. Traps are vital to Alaska’s economy. Confiscate
them and you undermine the Territory’s sta
bility. An unstable region cannot develop a
diversified economy.
4. Traps so stabilize the entire salmon industry
that they make it possible for packers to pay
fishermen maximum prices. Confiscate traps
and you cut down these earnings. Nobody
gains—everyone loses.
7. Traps are vital in maintaining U. S. world
leadership in the canned salmon industry. Con
fiscate them and you so weaken America’s posi
tion that it will be possible for Russia, utilizing
U.S. built floating canneries, to seize this prize
in world trade. The Japanese demonstrated,
in 1937, by their operations in Bristol Bay,
that such floating canneries constitute a real
threat.
8. Traps represent large investments ill venture
capital. Confiscate them and you discourage
other industries from investing in Alaska’s
future.
9. Traps provide healthy competition. Confiscate
them and you establish a gear monopoly in the
catching of salmon.
10. Traps, seines and gill nets—AI L THREE
TYPES OF HEAR ARE ESSEM'iAI to
maintain Alaska’s canned salmon pack, \arv
ing conditions in the Alaska fishing grounds
make it economically feasible to fish certain
areas to fill1 advantage only by means of traps.
