Plan EggTaking
WhenlceMelts
The Kodiak Conservation Club
met last Monday evening at' their
Clubhouse on the Naval Station.
Reports were made of the pro
gress of the work at Karluk in
preparation for the egg-taking
operations that are scheduled to
begin as soon as the lake is clear
of ice.
Volunteers described the diffi
culties encountered in getting
supplies to the camp and the pro
gress of the construction of the
weirs. It was pointed out at the
meeting that volunteers are still
needed in the construction phase
even though the weirs cannot be
completed until the lake is free
of ice. Volunteers will also be
needed when the actual egg
taking operations begin.
Commander L. B. Wagner
headed the committee that sup
plied the camp and Commander
F. G. Robinson was chairman of
the Projects and Planning Com
mittee that set up the equipment
at the camp last weekend.
Entertainment Chairman, Mrs.
Marie Cardinal, announced that
the club will hold a Chuck Wag
on Dinner and Hoe Down on
Armed Forces Day, May . 19th, de
signed to introduce town and
station guests to the activities of
the Kodiak Conservation Club.
Television Equipment
Arrives On Station
Kodiak’s television station is
one step nearer being on the .air
as 3500 pounds of equipment was
received from the Thompson
Dage Electronics Corporation
Monday. The equipment arrived
aboard a four-engine transport of
VR-5 from the Michigan City,
Indiana, manufacturer.
The Corporation’s contract pro
vides that an installation techni
cian come to Kodiak to install the
equipment. Commander L. B.
Melson, Engineer and Repair
Officer, who is overseeing the
building of the TV station, an
nounced that the technician is
due here the last of the month.
The TV building is ready to
receive the equipment. Workers
are presently putting finishing
touches on the S-25 building that
has been converted to house the
combined radio and television
station.
Commander Melson also re
ported that the radio station is
due to move at approximately the
same time the television station
is due to go on the air. The radio
unit will receive new equipment,
presumably to be installed in the
new building simultaneously with
the television equipment, neces
sitating a short shut-down period
for the radio facility as the new
station is “tuned in”. The “old”
unit, presently housed atop the
knoll behind the station hospital,
will remain operating up to the
time of the switch-over.
Timber Waiting
For Men of Enterprise
Alaska supports 269 billion
board feet of standing timber,
most of it ready for cutting by any
one with the drive and imagina
tion to make it pay. Moreover,
timber experts hold great hopes
for a permanent forest industry in
Alaska, and on this hope is based
the multi-million dollar invest
ments of large intergrated wood
using industries.
In the fifth and last article in a
series covering the timber picture
in Alaska, in the April issue of the
I Lumberman, national forest indus
tries trade journal, questions .most
likely to be asked' l>y prospective
Alaska loggers and jnillmeft are
listed: The answers, coming from
U. S. Forest Service men and top
men in established wood-using in
dustries in Alaska, are encourag
ing. But one cautioning not pre
vails: “Look before you leap.”
•C
Almost 100% of the timber stfjd,, ^
is government-owned. In the ar
ticle prospective buyers are- t«d >'■'
where to apply, what th«y c*hMa*-«tf
pect on the stands" and what the
prospect for sucess is. Classes of
forest land are listed, as well as
recent big contracts awarded to
companies.
