Salmon Strips Are Sure Good;
Editor Eats Them While Working
After seeing an ad sent in by
Mrs. Zenia Kolyaha, Pedro Bay,
Alaska, the editor sent for some
smoked salmon strips and the pack
age arrived by parcel post. He
opened the stoutly wrapped paper
carton and there they were—red
gold colored salmon strips. He took
one and started eating on it. It was
good.
He was minding the office alone.
His secretary, clerk, typist, circula
tion manager, errand girl, Clarabell
Charlie, was working at Jessen's
Weekly plant wrapping papers for
mailing. It was a nice way to mind
the office eating delicious salmon
strips. His news hound was nosing
around somewhere.
In walked a gentleman. He want
ed to buy the latest Tundra Times.
He and the editor began to carry on
a conversation.
"Did you ever get news from
Kotzebue?” he asked.
Letter to Editor
Nome, Alaska
Dear Editor:
Just a few lines to congratulate
you on your one year service to
the people. Your paper has given
me a chance to re-locate many of
my old friends throughout the
Northwestern District.
Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Tom Martin
“We do once in a while but we
sure can use more of them,” said
the editor.
“Why don’t you get in touch with
Roy Brentlinger up there. He’s a
friend of mine and he is the Pastor
of the Southern Baptist Church. He
should be able to furnish you some
news,” he said.
“That sure would be fine with us
if he would do it,” the editor an
swered.
The gentleman said his name was
O. L. Hibpshman, Pastor of the Bap
tist church in the town of North
Pole. He said he and Brentlinger
went to seminary training together.
As he walked out, he said, “Be
sure and get in touci with Brcnt
lingcr.”
“OK,” said the editor in the act
of getting another bite of salmon.
He began to read the note he had
received from Zenia Kolyaha,
w'hich read as follows:
“Thanks for sending for some
smoked salmon strips. I'm sending
it. Hope it arrives OK. And also
thanks for putting the ad in Tundra
Times.
“I can speak Dena Nona Henash.
I’m an Indian. My whole family is,
my husband and my five girls and
myself.
“Thanks.”
The delicious salmon strips tasted
even better after reading Zenia
Kolyaha's friendly note.

RUSSIAN FISHING SHIP—Shown here is the stern section of a typical Russian fishing ship, part of
a fleet recently found operating in the waters near Kodiak Island. The Russians, and more recently the
Japanese, have been found operating for king crab on historic Alaskan waters. They fish in such a way
that they run American crab fishermen off the grounds, and sometimes destroy American crab pots,
anchored in the water to trap the valuable king crab. The Japanese were recently spotted taking im
mature crabs in shallow water, a practice that is against good conservation, according to Alaskan stand
ards. Ill feeling over Soviet and Japanese intrusion is running high in the Kodiak area,

Dear Sir:
Congratulations to an excellent
yearling newspaper — and may it
prosper in the years ahead'.
Enclosed please find my check for
another year's subscription. I have
saved all of the 1962-03 issues and
don't want to miss any in the fu
ture. Not only does the Tundra
Times keep me in touch with a
land and its pe pie 1 love very
much, but it serves as a very in
formative supplement to reports
from the various organizations con
cerned with natural resources and
the welfare of native population
I to which I belong. The Tundra
Times provides the pe: lect "thin
dimension" for better perspective
regarding these problems.,
j My sincere best wishes.
