A.D.F.G. Says Thanks To Kodiak Area
Fishermen And Canneries During Year
By Bob Simon
The Alaska Department of Fish
and Game wishes to express deep
appreciation for the help and co
operation received from fishermen
and canneries in the Westward Re
gion during the 1962 season.
Many fishermen voluntarily gave
their time in the recovery of tag
ged salmon and re-released a sub
stantial number of tagged pinks,
turning the data over to the biolo
gists. This additional data consid
erably increased the knowledge of
the migration of pink salmon in
the Kodiak area. Tendermen and
cannery accountants willingly
served as collection and clearing
points for tags turned in by fish
ermen.
A catch sampling program has
been made possible for the last
two seasons through the courtesy
of the canneries in housing and
providing room in their fish
houses for the Department people
to work. This was particularly dif
ficult during the 1962 season,
when all operating canneries were
running at capacity.
In one particular situation, two
streams on the Aliulik Peninsula
on Kodiak Island became danger
ously low and warm during a dry
spell after receiving a very good
escapement. Bacterial metabolism
from dead span-out salmon had
reached a level that the dissolved
oxygen content of the water was
reduced to a point that spawning
fish were in grave danger.
Upon hearing of the situation,
the consolidated canneries in
formed Department representa
tives that they would pay wages,
transportation, furnish equipment
and groceries for sufficient men to
alleviate the danger. After the job
was done, it was found that the
Consolidation had contributed over
four thousand dollars in the in
terest of conservation.
Cooperation such as these ex
amples and others to numerous to
mention emphasize the fact that
in order to properly manage the
fishery resources of the state, fish
ermen, industry and the Depart
ment of Fish and Game must work
together as a unit. In the West
ward Region this has certainly
been the case.

Lyceum Planning
Monthly Showing
Of Unique Films
The Lyceum, which this year
has been responsible for the pres
entation of Alaska Music Trails,
is now investigating possibilities
and means for providing cultural
entertainment for its members and
other residents in Kodiak.
In addition to the musical pro
grams, committees are at work
studying otfyer “live” presenta
tions such as acting, folk singing,
dancing, etc.
A separate “Film Committee” is
planning programs, probably once
a month of motion pictures of more
than routine interest. First of the
film showings has been scheduled
for Dec. 21. More information on
this will be announced in the near
future.
The Lyceum is a non-profit or
ganization, and all proceeds from
events undertaken will be used to
provide mor<e events, after pay
ment of initial costs.
2 Fund Raising Ideas Proposed
Two additional fund raising
ideas for the Bennie Benson
fund have been proposed to the
Mirror and need sponsors to fur
ther them.
One, is the possible raffle of
a 18 by 24 inch Alaskan State
Flag encased in a frame, both
made by Bennie, which were
given to a friend. The friend,
who wishes to remain anony
mous, is willing to donate the
flag for the fund, and all that is
needed is an organization or
club to take up the raffle. The
Mirror will furnish tickets free
of cost.
Another idea is for a White
Elephant auction to be held
within the next two weeks, pos
sibly at the Armory. Any volun
teers on this project?
The Mirror promises complete
cooperation in publicizing either
or both events. Please call 6
5123 if you or your club is in
terested.
