One Fish Nets
Cordova Lad
Seven Prizes
First, second, third, fourth, fifth,
sixth and seventh prize — those
were the rewards a 12 - pound,
one-ounce salmon brought Carl
Arvidson of Cordova in the first
annual silver salmon derby, held
at that city last week. Although
33 juveniles tried desperately
hard, Carl was the only derby
•pntestant to haul in a fish on
derby day. He took his multi
prize winner on a hand line.
Adult prize winner John Cerino
did almost as well in the prize
lists in the second section of the
derby. Mr. Cerino’s catches won
him first prize, grand prize, fifth
prize, first fish prize and smallest
fish prize.
The derby showed a net profit
of $25.41, committee head John
Byers reported. The money will
be used to start a fund for the
Cordova Izaak Walton Chapter, to
be spent for planting fish and
game in the Cordova area.
Buffalo Transplanted
To Copper River Area
The upper Copper River coun
try acquired a buffalo herd of
seven animals—three bulls and
four cows, late last month, ac
cording to a Fish and Wildlife
Service announcement this week.
The FWS trapped the animals
from the Big Delta herd, where
they are becoming too numerous,
and moved them to their new
home in the Copper River coun
try.
The agency is planning to move
even more animals in the future.
In the meantime the seven buf
falo already transported are giv
ing Cordova hunters visions of
the kind of steaks they’ll be en
joying in another 10 years or so.

COMES RIGHT BACK TO VALLEY KIDS
Vallley children benefit directly
by a contribution to the Commu
nity Chest, drive chairman Mar
vin Slaughter pointed out today.
The Palmer chapter of the Alaska
Crippled Children’s Association is
a participating member in the
Community Chest here. Last year
the local ACCA, which is headed
by Mrs. Victor Johnson, Mrs. Max
Sherrod and Mrs. Norbert Swo
boda, received $350 from the
Chest.
Mr. Slaughter said it is the
plan of the Community Chest
board to familiarize contributors

work for this week.
The biggest job of ACCA is to
build a fund for the crippled chil
dren’s program of the Territorial
Department of Health. Funds
raised in Alaska are matched by
Federal funds from the U. S. Chil
dren’s Bureau. Last year ACCA

care, Mr. Slaughter reported. The
child, a victim of polio, has been
hospitalized there for several
years.
The functions of ACCA are not
limited to direct service, how
ever. Mrs. Marshall Hoppin, head
of ACCA, told of nine Valley
children helped through pur
chase of orthopedic appliances
and overnight care, in the past
year. In three instances the As
sociation even purchased lunches
for Valley children who came to
Anchorage to attend an eye clinic.
Mrs. Hoppin further reported
that in just four months of the
past year, Valley children had re
ceived glasses, undergone eye
surgery, ear plastic surgery, ton
sillectomies, and corneal ulcer op
erations at ACCA expense. In
addition, some Valley children
were provided with hospital care
in Sitka, Seattle and Chicago.
