CORRESFOnDOTE, Continued*
’(’This la The conclusion of the letter
printed in the lay’c issue of The Beacon*)
In many cases the economic solidarity of
the family is maintained only by the corrv
binod earnings of the entire family* It
is only by working as a unit, and by pool
ing their earnings, that a level of econo
mic • well-being sufficient to maintain
health can bo obtained* This standard will
not be attained by a complete closure
the Nushagak salmon fishing® Many of those
families will be fortunate if one of their
members is successful in being employed
elsewhere. This will become a problem of
great magnitude to the Alaska Native Ser
vice, which would havo to undertake some
program of relief, because it is unthink
able that American citizens should suffer
the ills of malnutrition in a region where
they have always lived and which has pro
duced such tremendous wealth for absentee
owners of salmon canneries for the past
soventy years.
Fortunately, it is possible to conserve
the fisheries resources and to provide for
the people*e welfare at the same time*
Many persons who have spent their entire
lives in bhe various fisheries fields, are
nntiroly opposed to the complete olosure
ef the Nushagak area* This view is sup
ported by the scientific findings'of the
Territorial Department of Fisheries at
Juneau, Alaska* It proclaims that a flex
ible system of allowing open and closed
days will conserve the fish and allow
adequate escapement, and at the same timo
be in a position to take advantage of any
heavy runs that may unexpectedly occur*
