Market Crises In
Salmon May Close
Down Canneries
JUNEAU — Some salmon can
neries which operated last year
will not be running this year, ac
cording to statements made before
legislators by representatives of
the canned salmon industry this
week.
“Eight out of every 10 salmon
canneries which will operate i.i
Alaska this year will lose money,”
legislators were told.
The industry spokesmen urged
that the state put up $1 million a
year and that the industry’s share
of the $1.5 million annual canned
salmon advertising campaign be
raised through a 25 per cent surtax
on the present 3 per cent raw fish
tax to meet a market crises.
“Sales are just not keeping up
with production and we are experi
encing an increasingly heavy carry
over from year to year, Nick Bez
of Peter Pan Seafoods told the
lawmakers.
“We’re in a bind,” he said, add
ing “wholesale prices for pinks
have dropped from $26-$28 a case
to $24-$22 a case. We can’t cut the
cost of the cans, the labor, or the
freight. The only thing we can cut
is the cost of raw fish, and the fish
ermen can’t stand that. An adver
tising campaign of at least two
years in duration seems to be the
only answer,” Bez stated.

Friendly Kodiak Helps Cage Team Stay Extra Days
Unknown to many Kodiak resi
dents is the fact that 26 local mer
chants and individuals contributed
$372.00 in order that the Kodiak
Bears could stay an extra two days
in Anchorage during the Western
Alaska tourney.
Originally the plans called for
the basketball team to return Sat
urday or Sunday but after a series
of disqualifications, the finals were
postponed until Monday, necessi
tating more funds.
Coach Terry McMullen takes this
opportunity of thanking the con
tributors and Ray Martin, Sr., who
