NO SNOW, BUT STILL THEY GO, MAN, GO! This is a scene from “Mirth Around the Earth,”
a fun packed stage show to be presented Saturday night at the Coronation Ball in the National Guard
Armory. These are members of the “Millikens” a group of talented pulchritudenous ladies who have
been rehearsing these past months for the big night. There’ll be a few men in the show too, of course, but
who cares about that? Photo by Ameigh

Bids Sought For
Salmon Tagging
A program of tagging pink sal
mon on the east side of Kodiak and
Afognak Islands this coming sea
son was announced by Bob Simon
of the Alaska Department of Fish
and Game, Commercial Fisheries
Division.
The Department is seeking bids
from purse seine vessel owners and
operators to assist in the work.
Tagging will be done during
weekly closed periods from the
latter part of June until about mid
August.
In Louisville, Kentucky police
say they are not going to stop the
good-bye kissing of wives and hus
bands as wifie drops him off at the
office—even though such bussing
causes traffic jams. Explains a po
lice captain: “We’re married down
here at headquarters, too.”
THERE MAY BE “Mirth Around the Earth” but it looks like
there is going to be some mirth right here at home when the Milli
kens appear before the floodlights at the National Guard Armory
Saturday night, in their 2‘A hour show produced especially for laughs.

Loom As Prospect
Prospects for lower prices on
potatoes this fall loom as an over
supply is anticipated.
Growers in key potato states are
planting 7 per cent more acres this
spring than last year. This is 12
per cent above the U. S. D. A.’s rec
ommendations, according to
Charles Marsh, economist at the
Alaska Experimental Station. Av
erage yields could produce a crop
7 per cent larger than the abun
dant 1960 crop, which is now caus
ing some marketing problems, he
said. “If this happens,” stated
Marsh, “U. S. growers may have to
accept a 25 to 30 per cent reduc
tion in price.” Potato prices in
Washington and Idaho may drop
55 cents to 60 cents per cwt. while
Oregon prices may drop as much
as 70 cents. Alaska prices will prob
ably reflect this price drop, Marsh
said.
A 23 per cent increase is ex
pected in potato plantings by
Alaska growers. With normal
yields this could mean a total pro
duction of 8,000 tons compared to
6,570 tons lasrt year.
Seeks Missing Man
Joel A. Martin, 25, formerly of
Maine, who is believed to be some
where in Alaska, is now being
sought by a relative.
The request for aid in locating
Martin, made to the Governor’s of
fice in Juneau, asked that he con
tact his sister at the earliest oppor
tunity because of what was de
scribed as an urgent family matter.
“We know that he is in Alaska,
but unfortunately he has not yet
sent his address, “Mrs. Bourgue
wrote.
