VALLEY, HOMER,
TANANA VALLEY
PLAN FAIRS IN FALL
There will be at least three
fairs in the Territory this year, it
was learned this week. In addi
tion .to the Valley’s agricultural
and industrial fair on Sept. 1, 2,
3 and 4, the Tanana Valley will
hold its annual agricultural and
homemaking fair in August. Ex
act dates have not been fixed,
but the fair probably will be
scheduled for the last week in
August.
Homer also is planning a fair
this fall. Dates for the Homer
event are not known.
Bristol Bay Jammed
With 52 Extra Boats
Extra boats on Bristol Bay this
season mean that everyone in the
overcrowded areas is going to
have just a little less time in
which to fish, Clarence Rhode of
the Fish and Wildlife Service an
nounced last week. Mr. Rhode
said there were 52 extra boats
fishing in the Bay this year, the
majority of them working for
floating canneries which moved
in this year. The FWS is balanc
ing the extra boats by longer
closed hours.
Mr. Rhode pointed out that the
increase in boats in fishing areas,
noted all over Alaska this season,
is making the fisherman’s aver
age wage a good deal lower than
it ought to be. He said on the Cop
per River particularly, where the
catch was the largest it had been
in years, the individual fisher
man's payday was the lowest it
had been in some time.
Increase in boats is attributed
to the shortened seasons in vari
ous areas, which make it possible
for a boat to move from one area
to another, fishing in each while
the season is open.
