In town recently were two men
from the Cooperative Extension
Service of the University of Alaska.
Edward Liebenthal, district ag
ricultural agent whose office is
located in Homer and whose area
covers Kodiak was accompanied
by Harold Pillsbury, an extension
horticulturist.
While here they had hopes of
meeting with ranchers or any other
groups or individuals interested in
having their advice and assistance.
They wish to acquaint area resi
dents. including housewives, with
the various programs available
through their agency.
Housewives, gardeners, landscap
ers. as well as ranchers, will prob
ably be pleased to know that they
may consult with these men on
matters of interest including such
things as house plants, and home
making, planning and remodelling.

News from Washington, D.C.,
that Alvine’s Marine Repair will
get the ARA funds to enlarge so
as to be able to handle larger boats
is about the best news fishermen
have heard from the nation’s Cap

velopment will make unnecessary
the taking of vessels elsewhere to
be worked on. And will also create
new jobs here.

“We have been getting more king
crab than we can possibly handle,"
said Manager Ervin Thiessen. “It
has been with a great deal of re
gret that we have been forced by
our capacity to handle, to refuse
to accept crab from a number of
fishing vessels,” he added. Thies
sen said that recovery hasn’t been

gonna head back to Sitka. Had the
good fortune to run into John at
Solly's for lunch and we had a
gabfest over the fast-growing econ
omy of Kodiak. John, who, of
course, is vitally interested in the
development of the cold storage
plant here . . . which incidentally
is the most modern and up-to-date
automated plant on the Pacific
Coast . . . pointed out that Kodiak
could be the hub of another new
industry: the herring industry. He
said that if the Sand Point, Port
Williams and Kodiak cold storage
plants would together agree to pur
chase their herring bait from local
suppliers, the cost of herring bait
would decrease two to three cents
per pound and create a new fishery
here as well as make these plants
more attractive to the halibut fish
ermen. Seems like something could
and should be promoted to effect
this development.
Bill To Restrict
Sale Of Alaskan
Crab Is Stopped
The chairman of a California State
Senate committee which last week
approved a bill restricting the Cali
fornia sale of frozen Alaska crab3
in the shell advised Governor Wil
liam A. Egan today the measuie
has been placed in the inactive file
pending further evaluation.
Word of the bill’s approval by
the California Senate’s Fish and
Game committee prompted Gov
ernor Egan to request that the
measure be reconsidered and re
jected.
“Enactment could only be in
terpreted as discriminatory against
a widely accepted product of a
sister state to whose economy the
industry makes a significant con
tribution,” the Governor said in a
telegram to Governor Edmund G.
Brown, the President of the Cali
fornia Senate and the chairman of
the Senate Fish and Game Commit
tee.
Governor Egan said growing ac
ceptance of frozen Alaska crab by
the nation’s housewives disproves
any assertion as to inferior taste
and quality such as was alleged oy
sponsors of the measure.
A telegram received today from
Committee Chairman Ronald G.
Cameron said the bill “will be re
moved to inactive file today pend
ing further evaluation.”
