What’s To Become Of Salmon Checks?
Kodiak Fishing Families Making Plans
What’s to be the destination of
the bulging paychecks resulting
-from the best salmon harvest in
the Kodiak area in over a quarter
of a century as it draws to a con
clusion?
A healthy portion of the pay
checks will go towards boat and
gear payments undoubtedly, and
to catch up on overdue payments
when the fishermen weren’t quite
so fortunate.
Century 21 at Seattle will be the
drawing card for many families,
and a large number of youngsters
■who have never been on the out
side will have their first chance to
see a merry-go-round, a train, and,
of course, the monorail and space
needle as many successful fisher
men have indicated that the first
vacation in years will be in store
for themselves and their families.
August should be a good month
for PNA as families will be de
parting in time to eturn for the
opening of school.
Merchants Benefit
School bound students will prob
ably be better dressed than they
have been in some time, as already
merchants handling apparel have
noted an upswing in buying and
proposed purchases. As a matter
of fact, the entire family may be
expected to be better attired than
they have been for years.
Other plans are in the offing
with the pay checks, fishermen
have indicated, with additional
rooms for their homes, plumbing
installations and remodeling which
•has been delayed for lack of funds.
Past due accounts in a large num
ber of instances will be paid up at
the stores and for the doctor and
dentist, the fishermen have stated.
And Savings, Too
The far-seeing fishermen, with
incomes better than they have been
in years, will be banking for the
future. There’s no assurance that
the salmon will be in the area in
the abundance that they have been
this year, and the best safeguard
is to be prepared for it. Deposits
at the local bank should bulge as
a result of this attitude of pre
paredness for the future.
Meanwhile, most of their efforts
for the past several weeks are safe
ly tucked away in tin cans and
headed for the Lower 48.
There’s another fellow, too, who
will get his share of those pay
checks. He’s Uncle Sam, repre
sented by the Internal Revenue
Service
