they are what he calls ring nets

virtually eliminate the cumber

Many fishermen are showing a
very strong interest in city elec
tions and one general complaint
is that the elections are held at
a time of the year when most all
the fishermen are out fishing.
Most fishermen suggest elections
be held about Dec. 15 or during
the soft shell season.

Many fishermen are surprised at
finding their suds being poured by
Louis Vukmir at the Casino now.
Louis, who has owned a number of
bars on the mainland in past years
got acquainted with many fisher
men when he had the Mint in An
chorage. His places were always
popular with newsmen and poli
ticians too!
Amongst the small boat harbor
fleet is the Xady Jean whose Skip
per Peter Harris has been fishing
halibut locally and reports “fair”
fishing. Crewman aboard is Rupert
Bowen. A number of king crab
boats are showing an interest in
running halibut gear along with
their crab pots. Cotik Inlet fisher
men seem to have made this stand
ard practice and do quite well at it.

Peggy And Oscar Dyson Plan Hawaiian
Honeymoon After Fall Fishing Season
Pictured shortly following their exchange of marriage vows, are Mr.
and Mrs. Oscar Dyson whose wedding and reception were held at
Che Selden Nelson home on June 8. The happy couple took a short
“honeymoon” to Port Bailey where Mrs. Dyson, the former Miss
Peggy Heedel, assisted Oscar in copper painting the bottom of his
vessel Robbie. The couple are making their home in Kodiak and
plan to take a trip, “a real honeymoon,” to the Hawaiian Islands
this fall after king crab fishing season ends.
quency which is 2182. Should
the Russians continue to violate
this treaty, which they signed,
establishing 2182 as exclusively
a distress or “Mayday” frequen
cy, and a vessel and lives be lost
due to their total disregard for
the other fishing operations it
could easily, and probably, lead
to serious trouble.

Later on we will have a story
about the acquarium being put
into the outside wall of Carl Rodli’s
Kodiak Suppliers section of Pete
Deveau’s building. It will be 8 feet
long, 30 inches deep and 30 inches
wide. Pipe is being laid to connect
the pump up with the harbor as
this is to be a salt water acquarium.
Pete sez he hopes to prove what
an attraction such an acquarium
can be and thereby spark the idea
of having a big sea acquarium lo
cated here as a tourist attraction.
We predict that a real marine ac
quarium, or “Sea Zoo” would prove
to be successful financially and be
one of the main tourist attractions
for Kodiak.

Postmaster Lamme Has Your Number!
Remember ‘99615’ Will ZIP Your Mail
The five-digit ZIP code for Ko
diak is 99615, Postmaster William
Lamme announced today.
“Everyone in Kodiak will use
this ZIP code on all their corre
spondence to speed mail deliveries
and reduce the chance of missent
mail,” Postmaster Lamme said.
ZIP code, the Post Office De
partment’s revolutionary new sys
tem of improved mail dispatch and
delivery, goes into effect national
ly on July 1.
Postmaster Lamme stressed the
importance of all citizens of Kodiak
learning this city’s ZIP code and
using it in their return address on
all correspondence. In answering
mail, he said, ZIP codes taken from
return addresses on incoming mail
should be used.
“The ZIP code is literally the
last word in mail addressing,” Mr.
Lamme said. “It should follow the
city and state in addresses.”
He cited this example of the
proper use of ZIP code:
Postmaster,
U. S. Post Office,
Kodiak, Alaska 99615
The new ZIP code plan, Mr.
Lamme said, for the first time will
permit the Post Office Department
to short-cut repeated address read
ing.
“The address on mail must often
be read as many as eight or ten
times by postal employes, to get it
to the proper destination,” Mr.
Lamme said. “Each handling slows
the process of mail dispatch and
adds to the opportunity for human
error.
“With ZIP code, a clerk needs
only to glance at the code number
to know immediately to what na
tional area, state and post office
the letter is destined, and to speed
it on its way, cutting up to 24
hours off the time between deposit
and delivery.”
The department feels that when
ZIP code is in full swing, the
United States will have the most
modern system of mail distribution
and delivery in existence.
Production in some lines lag, but
the rumor factories are still run
ning overtime.
