Canneries Face Crisis;
Ask Union Cooperation
Halfery Canneries, Inc. are,
facing a serious condition in'
1953 regarding the processing
of salmon, Frank McConaghy,
company representative, ad
vised the MIRROR this week.
In a letter to the United
Fishermen of Alaska. Parks
Canning Company and the
MIRROR, G. P. Halferty
pointed to the over- all cost of
operations, the sale price of!
canned salmon and the reluc
tance of consumers to buy the
canned salmon.

■that cann'ng operation would
be suspended in 1953 his letter
indicates that some changes
must be made.
“We wish to carry on our op
erations but we cannot finance
ourselves unless it is possible,
to sell the canned salmon at |
prices that will pay the cost”,!
the letter said.
The letter further said that
it “is not intended at this time
to be a notice that we wish to
terminate or change our agree
ments with the various
unions.”
Halferty added when it be
came known what must be
done to meet the situation the
company hoped to have the
full cooperation of all con
cerned.
! Canning operations at the
local Halferty cannery were
sharply limited the past sea
son. Early in the spring it was
announced that no canning
would be done at the local
plant.
Halferty Canneries consoh-j
dated their canning operations (
with Parks Canning Company. I
Later the salmon run proved
heavier than anticipated and
the local cannery was operated
for a limited time. i
High cost and small runs of
salmon were some of the rea
sons for the consolidation of
canning operations the past
season. Several canneries went'
together and operated from
fewer plants.

Halferty letter see page 4.

At Library i
Not only mystery novels but
mysterious items turn up on
the shelves of the Kodiak
Community Library.
Several weeks ago, a young
woman who had been shop
ping, gave her child a recently
purchased zipper to play with
while she selected a book.
Time to go, no zipper.
Last week, among the
mystery books, where it
rightfully belonged, the blue
zipper turned up. The librarian
on duty thought it another
mystery but one of her co
workers was able to solve it.
Mrs. A. noimes jonnson,
currently in charge of the |
library, reports that almost
70 cards have been issued, and
that the funds for purchasing
new best-selling books for the
library are growing. i
Any persons or groups who :
wish to contribute funds for j
such books are urged to con- )
tact her. The juvenile sections, j
especially, are in need of cur- j
rent literature for the school ;
children, Mrs. Johnson added,

Miss Cora Oberlies, itinerant
