With 106 Lb. Fish Sanght First Day
The largest fish caught on open
mg day Friday when the annual
Outdoorsmen halibut derby got
under way, copped the prizes for
the largest fish caught during the
derby.
Bill Unger was the winner of
first prize in the derby, which net
ted him a total of $360 in cash and
merchandise. His halibut tipped
the scales at 106 pounds.
Unger collected an additional
$75 in cash and merchandise for
catching the largest fish turned in
on Friday. His total winnings for
the derby was $435. Unger is an
employee of the City.
A seven and one-half year old,
Ronald Harold, won $75 cash and
a portable radio for catching the
largest fish of the derby in the
junior class.
CUher winners were: Zip Zaber
of Woody Island, first fish on Fri
day; Bill tallest fish.
Weight was llVfc ounces; Jimmie
Vefcacek, largest fish caught on
Sunday. It weighed 25 pounds. W7
Bbltori snared two prizes, one for'

biggest fish on Saturday; Joe
Blakeley, the biggest Irish Lord,
weighing 9 pounds; J. C. Neil, who

entire derby. He caught 17 in all.
Milo Rausculp brought in the first
fish Saturday.
A -total- of one hundred and
seventeen persons fished during
the three days, turning in 61 fish
to the weighmaster.
The derby also had its humorous
side. One man, vieing for the most
fish, caught felt safe to cop the
prize when he proudly displayed
a box of 52 flounders at the weigh
ing in station. Another fisherman
came in with what he thought
would surely win a prize for the
smallest fish of the derby. It was
a sole weighing 3^ ounces.
'One hundred percent sports
manship was displayed,” one offi
cial commented. “There was con
siderable enthusiasm among the
participants. The solid coopera
tion of all those responsible for
running the derby, made it a very
.smooth and interesting affair.”

club will be held at Outdoorsmen
Park near Fort Abercrombie, Sun
day, August 16. Food will be ser
ved from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. The
charge per person will be $1.50
for adults, and $1.00 for children

Mrs. Ruth Brechan, chairman of
the committee infcharge of the
affair, the charge covers, “All you
can eat.”
Any extra fish will be donated
to Griffin Memorial Hospital and
the Mission.
If you find goods are not mov
ing as fast as you’d like, there is
something you can do about it:
advertise.

News Item Brings
Family Re-union
Last week we carried an item
about a daughter and son in the
old states who were seeking infor
mation about their mother and
father they had not heard from
in twenty years.
The latter had lived in Kanatak
and the mother’s name was Lena
Kalmakoff Grindle, according to
a letter received from the daugh
ter by Acting Postmaster William
Lamme.
Just after the paper came out
Saturday the PO phone rang and
there was the sought-for news.
Mrs. Gus Yovino of this city is a
sister of Mrs. Lena Kalmakatff
Grindle, and she knew that she
was remaried, is now Lena Pres
ton, and lives in Egegik, Alaska.
So the information is on the way
to Illinois and P M Lamme has
drummed up some more business
for the post office as there should
be a re-union by man going on reax
soon.

Cars Overparked
To Be Picked Up

the same as in most areas of the
City. Owners of the six cars in
question are Michael R. Hansen, a
’47 Plymouth; Robert R. Garvey,
’50 Olds; Charley Miller, ’49 Hud
son; Dave Fuller, ’50 Pontiac; Tom

Seek Development
Of Tin In Alaska
Congress was urged to author
ize a Federal purchase program
for domestic tin in order to de
velop the mining industry in Alas
ka. The Senate Interior Subcom
mittee hearing testimony favoring
the bill would set up such a pro
gram.
Under it the government would
pay up to $1.40 pound over a ten
year period for production of 10,
000 long tons of tin mined in the
U.S., including Alaska.
Witnesses include Ralph Lem
on, Nome and Seattle, who owns
tin property in Alaska, and Sena
tors E. L. Bartlett and Ernest
Gruening, Alaska Democrats, au
thors of the bill, and Sen. James
Murray (D-Mont) bills cosponsor.
“Of all major strategic and
critical minerals,” Murray said,
“The U.S. is shorter in a domestic
source for tin than any other. The
only known domestic deposits of
tin in any substantial quantities
are in Alaska.”
Advertising is just another way
of calling on customers.
Pity is for the living, envy is Itr
the dead. Ibid. Chap. 19.
