Passage of Bill Would Take Away
Livelihood, Area Fishermen State
Area fishermen are registering
a firm protest against House Bill
57. Letters, similar to the copy
which follows, have been mailed
by the Kenai Peninsula Set Net
ters Co-operative Assoc., to var
ious state legislators asking their
aid in this matter:
Soldotna, Alaska
Feb. 28, 1963
The Hon. J. S. Hammond
House of Representatives
•Juneau, Alaska
Hear Sir:
All members of the Kenai Pe
ninsula Set Netters Co-operative
Assoc, are deeply concerned about
House Bill 57.
As you know, the salmon which
enter Cook Inlet each summer are
taken by drift boats and set nets.
The drift fleet contact the main
schools of salmon as much as two
■aeeks—five fishing periods—be
fore the fish reach the beaches.
If this bill passes, the number
of drift boats in Cook Inlet will
increase drastically. This happen
ed previously at a time when
area licensing- was not in effect.
Fishermen from Kodiak. Prince
William Sound, Southeastern Al
aska, and even Puget Sound, came
to Cook Inlet and all other Alas
kan fishing areas. They were ef
ficient and they knew when to
expect the main runs in each area.
The runs were depleted while the
set netters waited on the beaches
for the salmon which never came.
The depletion of the salmon runs
by the greatly enlarged drift
fleet led to further restriction of
fishing time locally.
We hope you will do all in your
power to defeat this flagrantly
discriminatory House Bill 57.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Clinton Ducker,
Publicity Director Ke
nai Peninsula Set Net
ters Co-operative As
soc., Route 2, Soldot
na, Alaska.

house in the Thompson Park Sub
division, Kenai.
“We are shooting for March
24 as the date of the clinic open
house, pending arrival of furnish
ings and equipment,” officials of
Kenai Community Clinic, Inc.,
said this week. “The March 24
date will be six months to the day
since the acting Board of Trustees
was selected.”
Much has been accomplished in
the past six months. The 60’ x 40’
frame building on a 300’ x 600’
lot located on Homesite Loop
Road was financed and construct
ed through joint effrots of the
entire area, spearheaded by a
hardworking crew of workers.

treatment rooms and a doctor’s
oftice, each with dimensions of
8' x 10’M>”; an operating room
10’8” x 13’5” ip size; an area of
18’6 ' x 10’7’4” embracing x-ray,
dark room and bath; a 5’6” x
107 V’ laboratory, and a waiting
room (with reception desk) 12’ x
5” x 30' in size.
Morris Killen donated the land
on which the clinic building is
erected. He has drilled a water,
well in Mommsen Addition No.
2 and is donating all water line
assessments of the entire city
block of community property.
The building is nearly complete
and as soon as furnishings and
equipment are installed the clinic
will be ready for operation.
“People of the Kenai communi
ty can be justly proud of their
new medical facility,” officials
point out. “It represents many
hours of hard labor from an un
told number of people as well as
donations of money, materials and
equipment.”
Many pies, cakes and other food
dishes were donated by women of
the community for fund raising
events. A gun, doll and monkey
were given by Kenai Commercial
Co., Mrs. Ed Steele donated a 4
skin stone marten fur and various
merchants gave turkeys, all for
fund raising activities for the
clinic.
Paul Costa has donated an acre
of land on Lamplight Road with
a 243 ft. frontage on Wik Lake
to be given as a prize in a fund
raising drive now being conducted
by the Kenai Chamber of Com
merce. Mrs. O. K. Kooley is of
fering a bulky knit sweater to be
knit to the design and measure
ment of some lucky person as
another special prize.

going to the clinic’s building
fund, is cheduled for Saturday
night, March 30, in Kenai Cen
tral High School gymnasium.

April 13 for election of a Board

Kenai Community Clinic associa
tion will be entitled to vote. No
member can vote more than four

LEAVING ALASKA
STERLING — Mr. and Mrs.
James Hovis are leaving this
week for Missouri where they will
visit his father and other mem

Hovis has been an Alaskan for
10 years and moved on his home
stead south of the Scout Lake

employed mostly as a power
company surveyor.
Mr. and Mrs. Hovis, who have
two children Gregory and Penny,
are leaving Alaska now and have
sold their place to Ronald Reed

comes for departure, the more he
regrets leaving Alaska, Hovis
said, and it is possible that the
family may return.
