A-J Wants to Open
Freeze-Dry Plant
JUNEAU MV—An official of A. J.
Industries, Inc., said Monday the
firm is studying the possibility of
constructing a $2 million freeze
drying plant in Juneau.
Glenn C. Whitaker, director of
research and development for the
corporation, said the firm is con
sidering processing king crab and
shrimb and possibly, mushrooms,
if they can be produced exten
sively in the area.
Whitaker said A. J. Industries
has been studying the possibility
of freeze-dry operations here for
some nine months and that a final
decision probably would be made
within 30 days.
The decision, of course, rests
with the board of directors and to
date there seems to be no reason
why present plans won’t material
ize.” Whitaker said.
‘‘In Juneau we have the power,
we have access to the production
of shrimp, king crab and other
Crustacea of the continental shelf;
and we have available transpor
tation which, with the lower
weight of freeze-dry products, will
enable us to market our products
profitably.”
Whitaker said the freeze-dry
method does not work well with
oily products, eliminating the pos
sibility of processing salmon in this
manner.

Pollution at Cordova
ANCHORAGE <£”>—A sanitarian j
for the Alaska Division of Public
Health said yesterday there was a
slight incident of water contamina
tion detected during installation of
a new community water supply
system at Cordova, but he dis
counted any serious problem.
The health official, John Kuhn,
said a series of tests was made on
the Cordova water in connection
with installation of the system in
the Prince William Sound commu
nity.
“In one test there was one de
gree of contamination that could
have started during construction,”
Kuhn said. “But there has been no
problem with the chrlorination
mechanism.”
He said Cordova physicians were
told of the report but said there
has been “no incidence of illness.”
“Anytime new pipes, a new
well, is but into use, it is normal
to take tests and disinfect,” the
state sanitarian said.
The new Cordova water system
was built with the aid of a $400,
000 grant from the Community Fa
cilities Administration.
The medical staff of the S.S.
HOPE is comprised of five doctors,
36 nurses and 30 paramedical per
sonnel who make up the perma
nent staff as well as a rotating staff
of 30 doctors.

House Committee
Okays Full Money
For Yukon Probe '
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 — Ap
propriation of the full $197,000
asked by President Kennedy to
complete investigation of the Ram
part Canyon hydroelectric project
on the Yukon River was recom
mended by the House Appropria
tions Committee today in report
ing the public works appropriation
bill for fiscal year 1964. This would
bring the total appropriated for
Rampart investigations through
the years to $1,136,000 and, accord
ing to the Corps of Engineers,
should allow completion of the
study.
A feasibility report on Ram- j
part is understood to have been
essentially completed by the Alas
ka District and to have been sub
mitted in draft form to the North
Pacific Division in Portland, Ore.
If the report recommends con
struction of the huge waterpower
project, as is expected, Senator
Ernest Gruening has announced
he will seek to have Congress auth
orize Rampart in next year’s river
and harbor act.
The dam, about 100 miles north
west of Fairbanks, would be the
largest in the free world in power
production capacity, which would
be approrimately 5 million kilo- j
watts. Preliminary estimates have
been that power from Rampart
could be produced to sell at about
two mills per kwh. at the busbar
or three mills transmitted to tide
water on Cook Inet or Prince Wil
liam Sound. Cost of the dam has
been estimated at $1.2 billion.

The One Who F inds Nothing
“Pi-ehu-i-lin-uk”
(From 18th Annual BAE Report)
STORY FROM ST. MICHAEL
Once there was a small, ugly
face young man who could never
find anything that he looked for.
Whenever he went out with his
sled for wood, he returned without
any, because he could never suc
ceed in finding any, not the least
piece. Then he entered the kashim
and sat down in his place near
the entrance way. When he sat
down there he would remain quiet
for a long time. The one sitting be
side him sometimes gave him wa
ter, which he would drink and
then become quite still again.
If forced to go out, he would put
on his boots and go, but would
return again very soon and sit as
before. Once when thirsty he went
out to the water hole for a drink,
but when he came to the place he
could not find the water hole, as it
seemed not to be there. Then he
returned to the kashim again with
out drinking and sat down in his
place, the one beside him giving
him water.
At night in bed, not being able
to sleep and being thirsty, he went
out to find his elder brother's house.
After much searching he could not
find the place, so wen back to the
kashim and lay down. Awakening
in the morning, he took some fish
ing tackle and went fishing. When
he came to the water he could
not find it, and after looking for
it unsuccessfully he returned with
out fishing. Thus he came back
once more without anything and
was hungry also when he sat down
in his place as usual.
Then he thought, “If I go to pick
berries, I suppose I will not be
able to find any.” Taking a wood
en bucket he went for berries. Af
ter looking, but failing to find
any, he returned to his place in the
kashim. The next morning, becom
ing hungry, he took his arrows and
went hunting for wild geese. Not
finding any, and seeing nothing
else, he returned again. Other men
brought back hair seals they had
killed. The One-who-finds nothing
took his kayak and putting it into
the water went out seal hunting.
He hunted for the seals, but there
seemed to be none; and seeing
nothing, he came back to his place
in the kashim.
Winter came, and he thought, “I
do not know what to do with my
self.” The next day he took his
miserable bed and rolled it up
with his poor tool bag, put the
bundle on his back, and went out
to the landward side of the village,
beyond the houses, and sat down.
Being seated, he took his bundle
from his back and opening it, un
tied his tool bag. This being done,
he scattered the tools about him
and threw away the bag. Then he
spread down his bed, and sitting
upon it, lay back, saying, “Here
will I die.”
