Dropped out to John and Sally’s
Rendezvous this weekend to see if
they might have added anything
new to their unique collection of
trophies. While there saw Mitch
and Barbara Komm and Ronnie
and Martha Fadaoff all of whom
had been salmon fishing in the
Kalsin. Mitch is the expert model
builder who has gone bigtime
lately ... he is now working at
Alvine’s Marine Repair!
&
Didn’t hardly recognize Skipper
Jim Cuthbert’s Yukon in the chan
nel the other day . . . she is ail
painted up brightly. But I knew it
was her when I spotted John “Lit
tle John” Eckart lounging on the
stern.
&
Down at Alvine’s they are work
ing on the shrimper Celtic which
came out second best a coupla
weeks ago when she tangled with
a reef over Seward way.

Few people probably have no
ticed or heard about the beginning
of a new seafood development
jown Alaska Ice & Storage way;
they are now cutting out the cheeks
from the halibut heads and pack
aging them up for a Seattle firm.
The cheeks are considered the
most delectable part of a halibut
by gourmets. The heads are then
packaged and frozen and are avail
able for bait. Young Pat and Jerry
Leach along with Suzy Moon are
doing the processing. Tis small but
everything has to have a beginning.
&
Down at Alaska Ice & Storage
they have been receiving good de
liveries of halibut. Several days
ago they ran into a snag when their
ice crushing machine’s motor
shorted out while they had four
boats delivering about 200,000
pounds of fish. However Manager
Bix Bonney’s boys had an alternate
motor in operation within hours.
Incidentally few people are aware
that not only is their ice made
with an antibiotic in it but also
it is frozen quicker and at far lower
temperature than any other plant’s
ice. In fact it is frozen so quickly
and so cold that no air bubbles
have time to form. This is the rea
son their ice lasts longer than any
other ice on the entire coast!

While down Port Wakefield way
last weekend ran into Dexter Lall.
Dick Reynolds and Phil Chitwood,
all of the ADF&G. Phil is Super
visor of Statistics in Juneau and
is making the rounds of Kodiak
Island plants conferring with per
sonnel and industry on catch sta
tistics. We also note that Guy Pow
ell is back in town again and busy
as ever.
&
Called Eastpoint Seafoods ex
pecting to hear Shirley Fillis’ mus
ical voice answer but instead was
greeted by a melodious voice that
was familiar but did not recognize.
Turned out to be Ginger Veerman
who filled in while Shirley was
outside on a quick trip to pick up
her son in Santa Barbara, Calif.
She returned Thursday and Ginger
leaves Sunday to visit her family
home in Ketchikan. Ginger will
fly to Juneau and take either the
Malaspina or Taku on to Ketchi
kan. She will be back after a 2
week visit.
&
Russ Welborn returned last
week from a quick trip out to visit
his family in Montana . . . asked
how everything out there was he
replied . . . "not baaaad!”” His
younger brother, Don, who is just
as skookum a lad as Russ and
worked for Russ last summer, is
hoping to come back up but wants
to go out on a fishing boat this
year.

Corvair 700 Club Coupe
Hie hardest part about parking a Corvair is finding a nickel
That may be a slight overstatement, but such jaunti
ness comes easily when you’re a Corvair owner.
And you can usually back it up—as easily as you/
can back up a Corvair. You 11 hncl your
self doing that occasionally, if only to
adjust the brakes—they’re self-adjusting.
That’s all there is to it, and that’s a good
example of how delightfully easy Corvair
is to own, drive and maintain.
But since we began by talking about
driving, let’s stick with that awhile. A
large factor in the fun of driving a
Corvair is the location of its engine in
the rear. Why the rear? It gives Corvair extra traction
on any road surface. It provides a nearly flat floor for
s. more useable interior space. Best of all. it produces
steering so light, so responsive, you
wonder why no other American-made
car thought of it.
Corvair’s engine is also air cooled, we
might add, which means there’s no anti
freeze or water for you to add. Ever.
All that pleasure from something so
practical almost makes you think Corvair
is unique among American cars. Which
isn’t surprising, because it is!
