1956 Operations
Halferty’s Cannery is getting un
der way for the first order of busi
ness, the canning of clams. About
fifteen people are now being em
ployed readying the cannery for
the opening May 1. Frank McCon
aghy, general manager, arrived in
town Monday.
This thriving little industry, situ
ated as it is in the very heart of
the City, sets in motion the Spring
and Summer activities in this area.
Clam canning is but the forerun
ner of the bigger industry to come,
when the salmon hordes are pro
cessed through this modern plant.
About forty people will be em
ployed in processing the clams, ac
cording to MeConaghy, when the
season gets under way May. 1. Most
of them will be local people, thus
contributing substantially to the
local economy. Mel ((Buddy) Sholl
who has been connected with the
canning industry as a machinist
for many years in this area, as his
father before him, will be foreman
at Halfertys this year. “Curly”
Jonas, another local man, will be
in charge of the machines. Kay
Coble, also a local man, will act as
foreman and salmon cook. Nick
Spanovich, who has been connect
ed with Halferty’s for some years
past, recently returned to Kodiak
and will be Port Engineer.
About forty-five diggers will be
employed by the Cannery. Most of
them are Alaskan, some from Ko
diak and others from the village
of Ninilchik on the Kenai Pennin
sula. The clams will be dug mainly
on the beaches at Switshak Island,
and brought in by Cannery tender.
The cookhouse, operated by the
Cannery, will be in charge of Mary
Bolden. Del Valentine replaces
Jim Connors as bookkeeper. The
latter is now employed by D and A.
Halferty’s Cannery also have
canneries located at Cordova, Jun
eau, Petersburg and Haines in Al
aska; one at Grey’s Harbor in
Washington, and a cannery in Brit
ish Columbia for clams only. Frank
MeConaghy is Vice president of the
Company and is General Superin
tendent for this area. The cannery
was started here in 1937
