Wcsltonians Entertain
Huge Crowd at
Wiid Game Dinner
At least 150 persons attended
the first annual Seward Izaak
Walton League dinner Wednes
day night at Harding's Cafe.
They all pronounced it a com
plete success—the most food—
best prepared, and altogether
good!
This wild game dinner was the
.first attempt of the local group
on such a large scale. It was
done in face of skeptical predic
tions, and the committee is now
receiving congratulations. Presi
dent George Turnbull stated that
it was largely due to the work
and know-how of Air. and Mrs.
Phil Harding that it went off so
smoothly. The Hardings are ex
pert in preparation of wild game.
Moos . caribou, wild sheep,
goat, grouse, rabbit and bear
were in abundance as well as
king crab, which came from
Homer, shrimp and salmon. The
meat was all donated by mem
bers of the local league. Ten
crabs, weighing 10 pounds each,
made enough for the crowd.
These were purchased.
Speakers representing Gen.
W ,E. Kcpner were Col. Brenda,
USAF; Col. Saar, USA; Capt.
Gaiden, USX. In addition were
speakers, W. A. Elkins, Fish &
Wildlife Service chief biologist;
Bob Burkholder. F&WS predator
control; Ed Chatelaine. F&WS
biologist; Dave Spencer, F&WS
refuge control; Carlos Carson,
enforcement agent; George Turn
bull and Phil Harding. The affair
was MC’d by Mr. McGhee.
Caribou on the Kenai
One point of considerable in
terest to local people is the pros
pect of the re-introduction of
caribou on the Kenai Peninsula.
It has been definitely established
that up until 50 years ago, cari
bou were plentiful on lire Pen
insula.
The various speakers present
ed quite a clear picture oi the
research and field work involved
in the business of stocking vari
ous animals, fish and birds, a Ion ,
with the expense involved. .V
■prospective fish hatchery at
Kodiak is expected to eliminate
some of the expense involved.
Carlos Carson, as enforcement
agent, stated that the number
of moose killed on the Peninsula
in the last hunting season was
reported at 371. altho, as close
as can be figured, the number
was close to 430, which means
about 80 were either not report
ed or were taken illegally. T;
F&WS .. begins taking
count of the remaining moose
population to determine wh.-.t
effect this kill will have on the
herd.
Showing of pictures, which
was on the program, was post
poned to a later date, because of
the lack of time and length of
the program.
Besides Sewardites present,
persons were there from Kenai,
Cooper Landing, Moose Pass an 1
several servicemen from Whit
tier and Anchorage.
Elated with their success the
committee is already planning
another such dinner next year.

building for a greater Alaska
Bikth of a pulp industry in Alaska is a great
step toward a brighter future for the Territory.
Alaska has long needed new industries and more
population. The decision of the Ketchikan Pulp
Company to build a pulp mill near Ketchikan
is important news to every Alaskan. It is the
beginning of a greater diversification of industry
in the Territory and will mean steady employ
ment and an increa e in Alaska’s permanent
population.
I he Alaska Salmon Institute welcomes this
great new industry to the* Territory. The Alaska
saimon industry—historically the Territory's
heaviest taxpayer — has a personal stake in
Alaska's future.
Because nature dictates when Alaska salmon
can be caught and processed, the salmon in
dustry is seasonal. But. with the advent of the
Ketchikan Pulp Company and the possibility
of an aluminum plant at Skagway, the Terri
tory is beginning to build a more stable econ
omy based on year around payrolls and an
increased permanent population.
Write today for your copy of "Welcome to
Alaska,’’ a colorful 12-page booklet crammed
with information about Alaska. At the same
time, ask for a copy of "Alaska’s Salmon In
dustry.” We ll send the booklets to you and to
friends and relatives outside. Address inquiries
to Box 893, Ketchikan.
