for it’s seafood, yet you couldn't
buy a bowl of clam chowder in
that city. Now they are making
plans to feature seafood dinners
as an attraction for the tourists

€© totem poles hidden behind
trees and tight against a buiid
iing . . . Wrangell’s city council
as now making plans to hate
tlhese beautiful authentic totem
poles moved onto the main street
where they will serve as light
poles . . . Wrangell will be the
trnrly city in the world with auth
entic totem poles serving as light
•poles ... up around Fairbanks
where they have the famous Ne
.nana ice pool, another tourist
attraction is being planned. It
will be a monument on the spot
the first sighting of the world’s
first satellite near the University
wi Alaska ... in years gone by
Petersburg had a famous street.
Hie street is still there and
through the use of dummies, the
old days will be depicted for the
tourists . . . recently while in
Seattle I sold 116 tickets to a
salmon fry being planned for a
Norwegian Day to be held in
Petersburg this year . . . down
.at. Juneau they are making plans
for a cable car to the top of Mt.
Juneau . . . how about Palmer?
"A ‘farmer’s dinner’, served
family style with local products

,soon build a fine reputation for
you people. Put up more signs .

be complacent . . . make up your
minds to improve your facilities.”

COUNCIL NOTES
(Continued from page 1)
stores be permitted to open at
9 a.m., seven days per week. Dur
ing the discussion it was brought
out that the newly imposed open- ;
ing hours have deeply affected
business in these stores and is re
flected in lower sales tax collec
tions. The request would apply to
retail package liquor stores only
and not to other type liquor dis
pensing. Locally it was pointed ;
out that because this is a rural
area the shopping area is very
large and that tourists frequently
make their purchases here en
route to the lake areas. Under
(he new law they may not open
until 10 a.m. week days and 2
pun. on Sundays.
