Traced To Four
Distinct Causes
Four factors contribute to the
high mortality of salmon in
streams Don Bevan, associate pro
fessor in the College of Fisheries
at the University of Washington
told the Kodiak Rotarians at their
meeting. Tuesday.
The Washington University bi
ologist has been associated with
the Hollis Channel project near
Ketchikan whereby a cooperative
effort is being made to control (1)
super-imposition, (2) erosion of
stream beds, (3) poor water quality
and (^) freezing conditions caused
by low Wald's—all factors in the
high mortality of salmon.

Navy Man Hurt
As Car Strikes
AD Hiway Truck
A 25-year-old Navy man, Gary
Roland Miller of the Kodiak base
incurred a fractured hip and in
ternal injuries, Tuesday, as the
brakes on the 1952 model car he
was driving apparently failed and
he collided with an Alaska High
way Department truck on Kalsin
Bay Hill.
A flagman of the Department
attempted to flag Miller down but
the driver evidently could not stop,
his car. It required 10 minutes to
get Miller out of the car and this
was done by removing the entire
seat. He was taken to Holiday
Beach where an ambulance picked
him up.
Assisting in removing the in
jured man were Morey Curry,
James Garoutte, Raymond Mari
gold and Robert Burtram.
Miller was later flown to An
chorage for additional treatment.

on meter violators, as Chief R. E.
Vickery stated that if meter viola

their windshields and the officer
comes around the second time an
other ticket will be added for over
time parking.
The Chief said the practice of
leaving the cars with a single ticket
on the windshield all day is not too
widespread yet, but asks that the
Mirror warn of the strict enforce
ment of the parking regulations
