SEAGULLS WINNING
2-FRONT WAR FROM
EMBARRASSED MAN
WARREN, R. I., April 19 ——
Sewer coinmissioher Frank Cygan
pwski is at war with the seagulls—
and so far he's losing on two
fronts.
Cygancwski, who is also a com
mercial fisherman, claims the sea
gulls are stealing from his boat the
quahaugs he gets off Block Island.
And that’s not all: the gulls car
ry the quahaugs from Narragansett
Bay, drop them on the lawn and
driveway of the sewage disposal
plant to break the shells, eat the
juicy meat and then leave the lit
ter behind them.
Juneau is prominently mentioned
in the pamphlet, “Welcome to
Alaska," recently published by the
Alaskan Salmon Institute.
“Welcome to Alaska" was prepar
ed primarily for newcomers to the
Territory, but is in great demand
among oldtime residents who are re
questing copies for themselves and
for friends outside. The pamphlet
particularly stresses Alaska's var
ied climate, resources and indus
trial opportunities.
Copies of the new booklet are
distributed on planes, trains, steam
ships and in hotels. It is also ad
vertised in newspapers throughout
the Territory and on Sam Mayes’
radio news commentary, “The
Weekly Spectator.”
Juneau figures in various sections
of “Welcome to Alaska.” Mentioned
as Alaska’s capital, "beautifully sit
uated in the center of a rich fish
ing region,” the city is sketched
overlooking the harbor and moun
tains. The area is also described as
a sportsman’s paradise.
The governor’s house is sketched
in a section of the pamphlet des
cribing our Territorial government.
In the pages directed to tourists,
Juneau is mentioned as the city
most convenient to Mendenhall
Glacier. A drawing of Mendenhall
is accompanied by brief description.
Free copies of “Welcome to Alas
ka” will be sent upon request to any
one who writes the Alaska Salmon
Institute. Box 893, Ketchikan. The
institute will mail pamphlets to ad
dresses within or outside Alaska.
