COMMERCIAL SALMON FISHING IN
COOK INLET LIMITED TO 2-DAY WEEK
New commercial fishing regu
lations announced recently b>
Secretary «l Interior Onoar Chrp
rnan extend the ctoaed period in
the £ook Inlet area to 120 hour .,
leaving only two day* per week
for the commercial haul of red
salmon
Moiwver, these two days are
riot consecutive*, the split 48--hour
period having been decided in
Washington in spite of recom
mendations to the contrary by
Alaskan members of FWS. The
two weekly r~*“‘°ds allowed will
be from 6 am. Tuesday until 6
a.m, Wednesday and from 6 a m
Friday until 6 a m. Saturday.
Enforcement agent Holger Lar
son said that this splitting of the
48 hours allowed works to the
disadvantage of local fishermen,
who are mostly stake net fisher
men. The drift net fishermen, 75
percent of whom are from Out
side or other parts of Alaska,
would not be adversely effected
by the splitting.
"Stake netters are at the mercy
of the tides," Larson explained,
“where as the drift netters may
run up and down the inlet for
the entire 24 hours of each open
fishing day."
The season has been extended
to August 12 in this area to per
mit fishing for pinks, and the
drastically closed period will not
apply after July 28. The closed
period was extended in lieu of
further curtailment of drift gill
net gear. If the anticipated
amount of such gear is not real
ized. it is possible that the weekly
closed period will be relaxed be
fore the July 28 date.
Under the new regulations,
commercial fishermen are re
stricted from fishing for personal
use within 48 hours oi any com
mercial fishing season. This re
striction does not apply to any
one not a commercial fisherman.
Other new limitations included
a prohibition against fishing with
in 300 yards of any dam. fish lad
der, or artificial obstruction in a
stream and taking salmon by
snagging in waters not open to

Three Afternoons
Cut From Palmer
Library Schedule
The Palmer Library will not be
; opened on Tuesday. Wednesday, j
and Friday afternoons until fur
ther notice, Mrs. Earl Graves,
president of the Library Associa
tion announced this week.
The library will still be open j
from 7-9 p in. evenings and from
2-4 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays.
■ Curtailment of the three after
noon periods was made necessary
; because of the difficulty in get
ting volunteer librarians who
would assume responsibility for
them on a continuing basis. The
Library' Board felt that it was
better to let the public know
there would be no librarian in at
tendance on these days than to
have them find a closed library
when they expected it to be
open.
Anyone who wishes to assume
responsibility as librarian lor one
of these three afternoons may get
in touch with Mrs. Graves
Rations staff the day before
Slaughter went Outside is Julius
