POWER BOATS cont. from page 1
in Bristol Bay because of their fixed
locations have had no catch at all and
have no hope of one. Their fish are being
caught by. the pov/er boats and like Bristol
Bay Residents they have no prospect of
migrating to another area for another
season* ...
Seventh: Kodiak and Cordova pov/er boat
owners are already planning to take their
boats over the Portage to Illiamna Lake
next year after the. red seasons o/i Copper
River and Kodiak... \ ,.r .
Eighth: The catch is divided among eo
many fishermen that no one is making any
thing. . ,
Ninth: There seems no doubt that the use
of power either in Cook Inlet or Bristol
Bay will result in a depletion of the run
before the Fish and Wildlife Service can
devise proper safeguards unless they elect
to so shorten the season that no"resident
of the area can hope to make a payday.
In. the light of the two bad seasons on the
Nushagak this means quick economic death
.for the Dillingham Area and severe financ
ial losses and ultimate disaster for the
rest of the watershed.
Tenth: In view of the circumstances
cannery operators in Bristol Bay cannot
justify an investment .of many millions in
pov/er boats for that season alone and will
either have to continue with sail or be
compelled to utilize existing power boats •
reci.iloed from other areas and manned by
their owners, or crews from other districts
who can fish elsewhere before and after
the Bristol Bay season.

Two full""afternoons and evenings were
devoted to the pleasure of the children
and adults who visited the N & N Hall to
shop and play during the big Rummage Sale
Bingo- Auction-Raffle Event on July 28 and
29 which was sponsored by the Catholic
Church of Dillingham, under the direction
,of Father Boileau.
Father Endal’s super deluxe bicycle was
the main raffle event and the drawing for
it was held on the last evening. The
lucky winner was Carl Millett. Two lovely
hand-carved, wooden Eskimo dolls in full
attire, donated by Mrs. Lillian Walatka,
were also raffled off and won by Mrs.
Alice Downey.
Both Father Boileau and Father Endal wish
to express their gratitude to all those
who helped in this effort and particularly
to Mrs. Mary Alice Behr, Mary Alic Fenno,
Jane Reed, Muriel Spears, Rosemary Nelson,
Johanna Y/alatka, Anna Mae Nunn, and
Ernestine DeCoteau whose time was so un
selfishly donated. __
