Rheingans Leave Kenai
The Rheingans, Ervin and
Joyce, have left Alaska after 25
years residence in the Territory
and State. Joyce, of course, will
be best remembered as Kenai’s
understanding and well liked
postmistress where she has pre
sided for the last thirteen years.
The Rheingans came to Alas
ka via Minnesota and California
and moved to Kenai from Hope
where Ervin operated as a
miner and BPR employee.
Their plans include a tour of
the Lower 48 and a visit with
a daughter, Mrs. Thomas Augus
tine, who will accompany them
on part of their trip.
Their plans aren’t definite
but their first choice of a place
to reside is Arizona,
A farewell gathering honor
ing the couple was held at the
Kenai Chapel last Sunday
where, after being feted, the
Rheingans were persented with
an Alaskan motif ceramic
pitcher. The Library Board, in
recognition of the time and ef
fort devoted to the Kenai Li
brary, presented them with a
decorative Russian Plate.
Mr. and Mrs. Allan Petersen
gave them a farewell breakfast
Sunday, the day of their de
parture.
Kenai and the Peninsula will
miss them.

Opening day for king salmon
fishing found the streams high
and muddy on the west side of
Kenai Peninsula. The weather
was beautiful and the fishing
good. Your roving Cheechako
photographer heard rumors and
second hand stories of limit
catches (limit one salmon) but
never caught a single fisherman
with a salmon in his possession.
He did, however, catch a fisher
man in a typical situation—up
a tree trying to disentangle a
snagged fishing lure.
Co-op Seeks
Senators Aid
A letter was sent to Sen.
Ernest Gruening and Sen. E. L.
Bartlett recently seeking aid
in protecting the fish in the
Kenai Moose Range.
The Kenai Peninsula Fisher
men’s Cooperative Assn., con
sisting of 250 commercial fish
ermen, sent identical letters to
the Alaskan Congressional dele
gation following a protest meet
ing.
They asked in the letter that
a man be stationed on the
Moose Range to look out for
the interests of conservation in
the area. According to Gene
Smith, the letter specified that
the “guard” not be employed
by the oil companies working in
the area.
He said the action grew out
of a recent report of a pipeline
break in the moose reserve,
which flooded the area with
crude oil. The break was dis
covered by the Fish and Wild
life inspectors and the parties
responsible were ordered to re
pair the damage.
It is to the interest of the
fishermen to protect the spawn
ing streams from contamina
tion, Smith said.

cate for a suggestion to improve

for his idea to make Notices to
Airmen more easily accessible
at FAA stations.
