Topping the news this weekend is the fact that a branch of an
Anchorage Savings and Loan firm will be established in Kodiak
early this spring. This should spur both home building and commer
cial construction. We wish to extend a cordial welcome to Howard
Fremlin and to the First Federal Savings and Loan Association.
Equally as important is the fact that sometime this weekend
Alaska Packers Association will can its 100,000th case of Kodiak
King Crab—a record for one single company. This figure takes the
King Crab industry out of the “small class” operation and makes
it a truly big business.
By any standard, the future of Kodiak looks brighter and
brighter.—W.V.M.
