Lazy Mountain Home
Nets a Lot of Salmon
In Canning Enterprise
Frozen salmon. 660 pounds;
canned salmon. 546 cans of which
300 were number threes. That*
was the total for the week-long J
operation of the Lazy Mountain!
Children’s Home July 19-26 at I
their Fish Creek Camp. Mrs. Ken-J
neth Hughes reported this week.1
The salmon will come in very
handy next winter for the 45
children and the 10 to 12 adult
workers who supervise them. And
it will taste especially good be
cause everyone at the home had a
hand in the large scale produc
tion. About 12 children were
taken to the location each day.
Two of the boys stayed at the
camp all the time with Walter
Phillips who manned the nets at
Goose Bay with their help. Mr. |
Phillips built the boat, christened j
“The Lazy M'\ which was used in :
securing the nets. The huge net
itself was loaned by Herman
Turner, Spring Creek Farm. The
fish were brought to Fish Creek
where workers and children
cleaned them in the water and
processed them on the spot.
The first day’s catch—all 660
pounds of it—was cleaned and
wrapped at the location and then
whisked to the locker. The rest of
the fish was canned in the huge
canner once owned by the Co-Op.
The correct steam pressure was
achieved over an open fire which
had to be replenished constantly
by the willing helpers. The can
ner held 130 number three cans.
That canning can be a picnic
was ably demonstrated at least
one day during the fish camp.
That day everyone from the home
made the trip to the camp and
had a wonderful time.
Mrs. Pearl Trowbridge will be
hostess to the Glacier View club
at the next regular meeting to be
held August 24, according to an
announcement made by club re
porter, Mrs. Faye Hoffman.

POKER. OR STOKER? ,
“Poker or Stoker?” The answer
to this question is mounting up to
the tune of almost $1,000 in col
lection boxes placed in several
servicemen’s cafeterias at Fort
Richardson this summer.
The stoker is destined for the
heating plant in the new Lazy
Mountain Children's Home. A big
Flamo stove for the modern
kitchen there will come out of -he
collection boxes, too. Servicemen
and officers from the C. I. D..
Special Troops, M. P., and Food
Service units have interested >
themselves in the work done at
the children’s home. They adopt
ed the stoker and stove project to
help support the work which is
being carried on.
