NOTES ON
THE FAIR
All the rar« ; .1 interesting ob
jects around Nome will not be
entered in the "Antiques. -Relics
and Curios Division" of the North
western Alaska Fair next week.
Although the motorized fire equip
mont will lead the parade on
Thursday, the horse drawn fire
engine will also appear according
to O. S. Weaver, parade director.
Few towns besides Nome can
duplicate such a sight in this pro
gressive age. The oid and the
new together will give camera
fans a rare opportunity. If the
weather is suitable for pictures,
the whole parade will offer a
splendid occasion for interesting
shots.
A program number that no one
will want to miss will be offered
Saturday night by the Mining
Division. Abe Shallit, Superin
tendent, is assembling a talented
group of pseudo bar flies, dance
hall girls, gamblers, prospectors,
etc., to stage with fitting and hum
orous pariations that well-known
drama, “The Shooting of Dan Mc
Grew".
The gold panning contest will
also take place on Saturday night.
It is for both men and women,
: so everyone will have a chance to
see his favorite gold digger in
1 action.
Don't forget that season tickets
are on sale and that they may be
secured from Ann Walsh, Mary
Hood Chapman, Virginia Calkins
or Edith Hoop. These season tic
kets are two dolars for adults and
one dollar for children. They re
present a substantial saving over
the single admissions.
Larry Galvin, donor of the five
dollar prize for the best cake
baked on a Flamo Magic Chef
range announces that contestants
may use any Flamo Magic Chef
stove available. Judging will be
done the regular judges of this
division.

Use Of Radio By
Fisheries Mounts
_
Among the scientific advances
which have contributed to rais
ing the quality standards of Al
' aska’s fishery products, leaders in
| the commercial fishing and can
ning industries declare that radio
telephonic communication is one
of the most valued.
Radio telegraphy had been us
ed in Alaska for many years be
fore telephones became import
ant. and the telegraphy system is
-till unrivalled in its particular
field. For coordination of fishing
and packing, however, the super
iorities of the radio telephone
have won it first place.
Radio telephones were first in
troduced into the Alaska fishing
industry in 1928, but the greater
number of installations have been
made since 1932. At the present
time reliable estimates indicate
that there are approximately 350
radio telephone sets in operation
in Alaska, and probably some
thing over 200 of these are in the
salmon and halibut fishing in
dustries. Mining and commercial
concerns account for most of the
remainder.
The salmon canning industry,
with its necessity for speed in
getting the raw salmon from wat
er into cans, has found the great
est value in this rapid easily hand
led communication. Through the
use of radio telephone, canneries
are able to regulate the deliver
ies of fish to the cannery so that
an even supply of raw fish is
maintained. Cannery superinten
dents can direct the fisherman to
the localities where the fish are
most abundant, or they can stop
fishing if fish are being delivered
in quantities too great to be effi
ciently handled. Companies oper
ating more than one cannery are
able in many cases to divert fish
deliveries from one cannery to
another, and to otherwise coor
dinate the operations of their
'canneries.
In ways such as this, cannery
operators have been able to regu
late their supply in order to pro
duce the very best quality can
ned salmon. The salmon industry
is at present spending thousands
of dollars advertising salmon to
American housewives, and the in
dustry is more conscious than ev
. er of the necessity for maintain
ing high quality standards. This
1 is one of the factors in the rap
id spread of radio telephonic
communication along the long
coastline of Alaska, from south
eastern to the north shore of Brist
ol Bay, packers say. In the last
: year approximately forty new un
its. including both shore and fish
ing boat installations, were put
in operation in the salmon in
dustry.
DV I1U II lt-dllb U1C ICdM tUIUU*
bution of the radio telephone to
the fishing industry is the greater
safety it has brought to fisher
men and cannery workers. Many
canneries have been able to install
this equipment when they could
not afford regular radio telegraph
ic equipment.
Thus the radio telephone has
brought them rapid communica
tion which has been of great val
ue in a number of accident cases,
when through the use of radio
telephone, an airplane has been
summoned to an isolated cannery,
and an injured man picked up
and rushed to a hospital where
he could get medical attention.
By use of radio telephone and
airplane, a man injured a hun
dred miles from the nearest hos
pital can be placed on the operat
ing table within three hours af
ter the accident.
