FESTIVAL NOTE
Parachutists Wow
Festival Fans
Brightly colored parachutes, stir
ring marches and giant Alaskan
King Crab shared the limelight in
Kodiak a week ago as this island
community celebrated its fourth
annual King Crab Festival.
On Saturday, soldiers of Fort
Richardson’s 214th Army Band pre
sented a one hour concert to a
large audience on the festival mid
way. Then they hurried to a wait
ing plane to return for engage
ments at Fort Richardson and El
mendorf Air Force Base that even
ing.
Leaping from heights of up to
a mile in the sky, nine Alaska
Army and Air National Guard
Sport Parachutists and two Fort
Richardson Sport Parachute Club
members highlighted the festival’s
last day, Sunday.
National Guard jumbers includ
ed Major Lloyd Mapes, Army Na
tional Guard Advisor and para
chute club safety officer; First
Lieutenant Jack Frankfourth; Mas
ter Sergeant Billy Christy; Special
ist Five Fred Yenney, Jr.; Spec
ialist Four Alvin Johnson; Air
men Second Class J.C. Hobson and
Arnie Christiansen; and Airman

president of the National Guard
club, First Lieutenant Ed Johnson,
Lieutenant Johnson had intended
to jump, but no other pilot was
available.
The soldier-chutists flew from
Anchorage to Kodiak Thursday
afternoon, May 3, in an Air Guard
C-123 Provider. They were quarter
ed at the Kodiak National Guard
Armory during their stay.
Original plans called for skydiv
ing exhibitions Friday and Satur
day, but lack of a plane Friday and
winds Saturday caused cancella
tion on these two days.
One of the highlights of the
jumps was first jump for Sergeant
Christy and Airman Culhane. A
nother feature was a 20 second de
lay freefall by Specialist Hamilton
from an altitude of 5,400 feet. As
his ‘chute blossomed, the air a
round the diver was filled with
bits of pre-packed tissue paper,
Hamilton pulled his ripcord and
creating a one-man snow storm.
The demostration ended at 1 p.
m. The guardsmen and soldiers re
turned to Anchorage shortly after
the Sunday demonstration.

Fish finding, Ceres style, leaves almost
nothing to chance. This tremendous new Kelvin
Hughes development combines echo ranging
with echo sounding—gives you both horizontal i
and vertical fish detection. *
v Horizontal face of the Ceres transducer
automatically sweeps the entire area ahead of
the ship in a half-mile 240° arc while the verti
cal transducer face reports fish shoals directly
underneath. All fish within the half-mile radius
are instantly and accurately reported.
The easy-to-install K-H Ceres comprises
three units: a retractable hull transducer, re
corder with white-line igmplifier and <*,. regu
i fating control unit Vvhich accurately indicates
direction of fish findings.
