Kodiak Pushed
For Fur industry
Kodiak is recommended as a site
for the relocation of the Pribilof
fur seal processing plant in a reso
lution introduced in the state sen
ate.
Senate Joint Resolution No. 41
recommends to the Department of
Interior the “Kodiak-Aleutian area
as the primary and ideal choice for
the location of the Pribilof fur seal
processing plant.”
The resolution notes that the
present contract between the fed
eral government and a St. Louis
firm will be cancelled at the end
of 1962 and stresses that “the plant
should be located in an accessible
nlace in close proximity to the
Pribilof Islands, with a readjlv
available labor source, adequate
natural facilities such as an abun
dant water supply to accommodate
the needs of a fur processing plant
and housing for personnel.”
It adds that Kodiak Island ful
fills these requirements and fur
ther notes that, “the addition of
the fur processing plant would
greatly aid in reducing within the
Kodiak-Aleutian area the high rate
of unemployment and impover
ished economic conditions particu
larly among the Native population
thus eliminating in part, the neces
sity for the Bureau of Indian Af
fairs program to relocate the resi
dents of the Pribilof Islands in
other states.”
Navy Release Of
Gibson Cove Asked
The Navy is “urgently requested
to release the Gibson Cove area to
the city of Kodiak for the construc
tion of a new harbor, in a resolu
tion introduced in the legislature
this week.
House Joint Resolution No. 50,
introduced by Kodiak’s two mem
bers of the state house of repre
sentatives, calls attention to the
“enormous expansion of the Alaska
fishing fleet,” and to “the tempest
uous storms of the simmering sea
surrounding Kodiak,” as well as to
Kodiak city’s “desperate need of
new harbor facilities.”
The resolution points out that
Gibson Cove is “an area owned
but unused by the U.S. Navy and
approximately a half-mile from the
city of Kodiak boat harbor, could
provide an excelent harbor if the
city owned this area and were free
to construct harbor facilities.”
Cornelius Awarded
Special Franchise
An exclusive Relocation Fran
chise has been awarded to George
H. Cornelius of Kodiak according
to a news release made by John R.
Huggins, vice president of the
American Relocation Service, Inc.
The office was notified by the Fi
delity-Philadelphia Trust Company
of Philadelphia, Pa.
The special service was incorpo
rated four months ago after almost
two years research into the family
relocation problems. The service is
directed to individual families and
corporations and maintains a De
partment of Military Transfer for
Armed Forces personnel.
PROPOSE TIDELANDS
PREFERENCE EXTENSION
Governor William A. Egan re
cently proposed that occupants of
tidelands outside of municipal
areas be given an additional two
years in which to exercise their
preference rights to apply for title.
Under present law, the deadline
for exercise of preference rights
would be July 20, 1962.
In a letter submitting the bill
for introduction in the Senate,
Egan said:
“With 33,000 miles of Alaskan
coastline it is likely that many of
those entitled to preference rights
will not become aware of these pro
visions and will fail to meet the
necessary requirement for filing
application. Because oi this, a two
year extension of the application
period is proposed. ’
WHAT IS CHARITY?
It’s silence when your words would
hurt,
It’s patience when your neighbor’s
curt,
It’s deafness when the scandal
flows,
It’s thoughtfulness for another’s
woes:
It’s promptness when stern duty
calls,
It’s courage when misfortune falls.
