VOL. 22, NO. 30 KODIAK, ALASKA, JULY 27, 1962 PRICE TEN CENTS
700,000 Salmon Delivered Monday
As Catch In Area Heads For Record
Kodiak’s salmon catch neared
record breaking proportion this
week as 700,000 fish were delivered
Monday to mark the peak day of
the season at area canneries.
At the same time the canneries
were forced to establish an 800
per man per day limit in order to
keep pace. ADF&G officials re
ferred to Monday as the “peak day”
of the season.
Meanwhile, ADF&G officials pre
dicted at least 10 more days of
good fishing before the catch “ta
pers off.”
Indicative of the catch was the
fact that on the July 15 report, the
ADF&G reported the salmon pack
of pinks at 38,100 through that
date—one week later on its July
22 report it increased three-fold,
or 132,639 cases.
In 1961 on the July 22 report to
tal pack was 43,783y2 cases, while
the report this week showed 192,
240% cases, over four times as
many cases.
1960 was considered a “good sal
mon year” and at that time the sal
mon pack showed 102,759 cases —
almost 900,000 cases below this
year’s figure.
ADF&G officials point out that
the salmon are smaller than in pre
vious years with 25 to 27 required
per case, and that if they were
larger there would be no question
of this being a record year.

Swim Pool Site
Obstacle Could
Be Set Aside
A major obstacle to establishing
a swimming pool in Kodiak was re
moved this week when Rep. Pete
Deveau received a letter from the
office of the Adjutant General for
the state of Alaska stating that the
four acres of land behind the ar
mory would be available for such
a project providing it is a tax sup
ported project and handled by
lease of land to the City of Kodiak,
which in turn could lease it to a
non-profit organization for use of
a pool.
Deveau went on to say that $9,
000 had already been pledged for
a municipal pool and that a group
in Kodiak would add another $7,
000 as soon as a responsible group
is organized and incorporated to
proceed with the pool plans.

$2.2 Million Bond
For Voc. School
The 2.2 million dollar bond
issue to establish a vocational
school in Kodiak received the
stamp of approval from the Ko
diak Chamber, Thursday.
The bond issue will be voted
on at the Nov. 6 election.
Rep. Pete Deveau who brought
up the vocational school subject
remarked that there were over
600 youngsters of high school
age along the Aleutian chain
who had no opportunity to attend
any type of high school, and that
192 graduates of this year’s 8th
grade classes throughout the
chain would have to halt their
education.
Such a school now operates in
Nome.
The opinion was expressed
that the BIA would aid the voca
tional program with additional
funds for dormitory construc
tion.
The chamber also voted to pub
licize a favorable vote on the is
sue by utilizing promotional
funds, exact amount undeter
mined, to be spent by the Civic
Improvement Committee.

Hope Fades For Finding Two Kodiak
Boys Missing Since Sunday Afternoon
Hopes of finding two teenage Ko
diak youths, Jimmy Allain, 19, and
Henry Sanguinett, Jr., 18, slowly
faded this week as no trace could
be found of the pair who vanished
Sunday afternoon on a trip in a
small skiff in Geographic Harbor,
60 miles west of Kodiak.
The two boys left the fishing ves
sel Kasiloff in a skiff, Sunday,
armed with rifles. Later, an oar
and life-jacket were found floating
in the bay. The skiff was located
with its outboard motor running
nosed into the beach.
A searching party of eight Ma
rines was flown to the area, Mon
day, and after 12 hours suspended
the search after a consultation with
the Kasiloff skipper that continu
ing the search was of little pur
pose. However, relatives were still
scouring the area later this week.
A report that the body of one
of the youths was found earlier
this week proved unfounded.
Allain, a member of the gradu
ating class of 1962. has three
younger brothers and two younger
