Big Game Contributes Greatly
To Economy Ot Alaska
Both the harvest and pro
duction of big game exceeded
all records in 1961, according
to preliminary estimates re
leased by the Alaska Depart
ment of Fish and Game. Al
though preliminary figures
may be subject to refinement
upon completion of a state
wide game harvest survey
now being conducted by the
Division of Game, Division Di
rector Jim Brooks, pointed
out that even with about 30,
000 licensed hunters in the
State, Alaska is still falling
short of harvesting the annual
reproductive increment of sev
eral species.
GOVERNOR URGES
INDUSTRY HIRE
UNEMPLOYED YOUTH
Governor William A. Egan
today called on business and
industry in Alaska to put un
employed, out-of-school youth
on a job and urged employers
to review personnel needs now
with this in mind.
In a proclamation designat
ing March 19-24 as “Jobs for
Youth Week in Alaska," the
Governor endorsed a state
wide drive being spearheaded
by the Alaska State Employ
ment Service.
Egan noted that approxi
mately 800 youths under 21
ire now unemployed in Alas
ka with approximately 1.600
graduating high school seniors
to be added to the Alaska la
ser market this summer, many
if whom will not be going on
:o college.
“Hiring young trainees now
provide a more capable and
skilled work force so that our
state can capitalize on the
ibility of these young Alas
kans in the years ahead,” he
laid.
The Governor urged em
ployers to contact one of the
light regional offices of the
Maska State Employment Ser
vice to obtain qualified young
vorkers. The offices are locat
id at Fairbanks, Anchorage,
lome, Soldotna, Juneau, Sit
ka. Petersburg and Ketchikan.
FAIRBANKS PAPER

An editorial that appeared in

jd “Unfair Fair Tactics ’’ ob
?cted strongly to the proposal
hat the Matanuska Valley be
esignated as the official site
f the Alaska State Fair.
The writer said he felt the
ompanion bills in the Senate
nd House were unfair. In part
ae editorial stated: “Our fair,
stablished in 1924, has had
jugh sledding in the past, but

Caribou are both the most
numerous and most harvested
of Alaska’s big game: some
30.000 caribou were taken
from a population of about
400.000 animals last year. Deer
ranked second in terms of
numbers harvested with 15,000
taken from a population esti
mated at over 200,000. Moose
w'ere third in terms of num
bers taken by hunters, with
11.000 to 12.000 being harvest
ed, including 1.000 cows taken
from areas of extreme over
population. Other harvests In
cluded an estimated 1.000 Dali
sheep, 250 goats, 125 elk, 50
bison. 455 brown and grizzly
bear, 156 polar bear, 1,100
black bear, some 1.500 walrus.
and several thousand seal.
Not counting marine mam
mals and bears, the above
game harvests contributed
about 12 million pounds of
meat to the larders of Alas
kans during the year. This
amounts to a per capita con
sumption of 45 pounds of big
game per year. The utilization
of marine mammals by resi
dents of the North west and
Arctic coast would be much
higher. In contrast, the per
capita consumption of beef in
the United States is about 80
pounds per year. The contri
bution of big game meat to
the economy of All Alaskans is
obviously very substantial,
Brooks stated.
