fishermen continued to make rec
ord catches.
On Tuesday Dexter Lall, ADF&G
management biologist advised that
“Kodiak has not had a pack this
large this early since 1936,” and
his statistics did not take into con
sideration the pack resulting from
this week’s record catches.
APA head, Vern Hilliker, ad
vised, “The outlook for this season
is very encouraging and it appears
that this should be one of the top
seasons. We are presently able to
process all fish being delivered to
us.”
In the absence of Bob Springhill
who is back today from San Fran
cisco, King Crab Inc.’s Office Man
ager Ervin Thiessen advised, “It’s
the best I’ve ever seen. There is
lots of fish ... all we can handle.”

“Of This Aid That” Visits With Many
Kodiakans In N.W. Sector Of Lower 48
By Betha Digree
EVERETT, WASH. — Vacation
ing doesn’t seem to leave much
time for writing a column. . . .
There are so many things to do,
see and hear. ... So many friends
to visit. . . . We have seen several
Kodiak residents during the past
month. . .. Spent a couple of nights
at the home of Lillian and Gene
Smith at Kirkland. Lillian is work
ing at the new Pay and Save store
at Mercer Island. . . . Gene is now
representing K & L Distributors
in Seattle. . . . Lillian and Gene
send regards to their friends in
Kodiak. . . . I’ve enjoyed a week
end with Nina and Ralph at their
lovely home in Seattle. They, too,
send greetings to their Kodiak
friends. . . .
Monorail Ride
A few pleasant days and eve
nings were spent with Lillian
Lamme, with whom we ferried to
Bremerton for dinner at the excel
lent restaurant and cocktail lounge
operated by Vi and Clyde Goudie.
. . . Had a chat with Vi but missed
seeing Clyde. ... In company with
Lillian we enjoyed our first mono
rail ride which was a pleasant new
experience, and attended a per
formance of “Annie Get Your Gun”
at the Aqua Theatre. ... a fun
show packed with wonderful sing
ing and dancing offered in the
open-air theatre under a star
studded sky. . . .
IT’S ALASKA DAY
July 7, Alaska Day, dawned
bright and sunny and brought out
a record attendance at the World’s
Fair. . . . We are happy to report
that Kodiak’s own Benny Benson
received a thunderous ovation
when he was introduced during
the ceremonies. . . . Alaska was
really represented that day. And
we saw several Kodiak residents.
Among them were Thelma, Leon,
Rita, Mark and Chris Johnson; Lil
lian Lamme; Millie and Walt Mul
ler; Tom Frost, Jr., and his sister,
Mary (a former Kodiak resident);
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Nachand; Betty,
John and Marya Springhill and
Helen Preussing. . . . Saw former
Kodiakans Mary and Bryan Thor
sheim and son Russell; Timothy
Gilmore; H. F. McDonald and
daughter Daron; Marion Meyer and
his wife; Annabel Murphy and hus
band; Lillian and Gene Smith. . . .
Other Alaskans with whom we
talked were Sen. and Mrs. Bob Lo
gan of Cordova, and Col. “Muktuk”
Marsten of Anchorage. . . , Gov.
and Mrs. Egan and party were
there, of course, and Gov. Egan
was among the speakers on the
program of the day. . . .
NO KODIAK PICTURE
No doubt there were others from
Kodiak in attendance but the fair
grounds were so packed one could
not possibly hope to see all of one’s
acquaintances. The Alaska Exhibit,
housed in a beautiful building, is
interesting but we were disap
pointed by not seeing a picture of
Kodiak among those of other
Alaska cities.... We were proud of
played in a prominent spot, and the
Wakefield Fisheries film on King
the Wakefield Fisheries on King
Crab seemed to attract much at
tention. ... A display of Northern
Lights in the dome of the building
is truly beautiful and the accom
panying narration well done. . . .
After five hours of walking about
in the heat, tho, we gave up for the
day. . . . Still not accustomed to
pavements (but we must admit
they are much better than pebbles
and rocks!). . . .
While shopping downtown we
met Marie Cardinal. . . . Also saw
Mary Clark and her sister-in-law.
. . . Dropped in at the Firelite
Room at the Moore Hotel to say
hello to Jess Tucker. . . .
BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS
We had almost forgotten the
beauty of the roses here during
June and July, and still thrill at
the many lovely flowers and
shrubs. . . . One garden we will
long remember was that of Mil
dred and Howard Wakefield at
their charming North End home
where we spent a most enjoyable
afternoon with Mildred and daugh
ter Margaret. . . .
OFF FOR B.C.
Now that our medical needs have
been attended to we can really re
lax—a few days will be spent in
Everett, then we shall leave for
British Columbia and additional
new sights, sounds and fun. . . .
Greetings to our friends, and may
you have a good summer!

Candidates Meet
(continued from page 1)
The statement came as he was
being shown photographs of the
Russian trawling fleet operating
only 12 miles off the Kodiak coast.
“First of all it is the duty of the
governor to take a strong stand on
this serious matter and vigorous
action should be sought by our con
gressional delegation at the na
tional level,” Stepovich stated.
The GOP candidate assailed the
present administration for its fail
ure to get a road-building program
under way in Alaska, despite its
claims of progress.
