Anderson Discusses
Fisheries at
Chamber Meet
If the federal payroll were taken
from Juneau there would only be
lumbering and fishing industries
to support the town, C. L. Anderson,
director of the Alaska Department
of Fisheries, told the Juneau Cham
ber of Commerce this noon. A regu
lar luncheon meeting was held at
the Baranof Hotel.
Anderson reviewed steps taken to
bring the Olympic Seafoods Co., to
this area. Experimental shrimping
and crabbing operations resulted in
recent lease of the Douglas cannery
for expansion of its activities. He
said between 50 and 80 persons
would be employed there on an al
most year-around basis.
New' methods of handling crab
and shrimp in "live boxes,” which
permits them to be held alive until
they can be processed, insures a
steadier operation he said.
He pointed out three future pos
sibilities for new fishery industries
in this area. One was a small
smokery and custom cannery. The
others were a small oyster farm
to supply local markets and the
abalone on the island fronting the
North Pacific Ocean.
Taku Road Aid
Anderson said that he was inter
ested in seeing the proposed Taku
road become a reality because it
would provide cheaper truck trans
portation for gillnet fish from the
Taku River to Juneau; it would give
an incentive for building sports
fishing resorts; and an ultimate
connection with the Alaska Highway
would give a direct outlet from Ju
neau to mid-eastern and western
markets for Juneau fresh and frozen
fish.
nf iwcuuuncu liiuv
trucks could profitably handle a
back haul of perishable foods and
other freight.
Three agencies working and co
ordinating on bringing new fishery
industries to Alaska are the Alaska
Development Board, the Experimen
tal Fishery Laboratory at Ketchi
kan, and the Alaska Department of
Fisheries through his personal ef
forts, Anderson said.
Harold Foss urged that the
Chamber and all civic organiza
tions assist the City Council in
finding a solution to Juneau's
growing parking problem. He sug
gested that there were a number
of old buildings that could be re
moved and the lots used for park
ing.
Guests ye re: Walter P. Scott.

Salmon Derby for
1952 Gelling
Underway Already
The board of directors of the Ter
ritorial Sportsmen, Inc., met Tues
day night with Golden North Sal
mon Derby co-chairmen Dr. D. D.
Marquardt and Curtis Shattuck to
discuss means of improving next
year’s event. The sportsmen spon
sor the derby.
Shattuck will be the chairman
for the 1952 event and has already
i started to work on it. He reported
! that there were 66 cases of salmon
I canned from this year's fishing. This
j is to be used to advertise, and some
; will be given to charity,
i All bills are not in, Shattuck
reported, but It is expected that
expenses will run about $5,000. A
little over $9,000 was taken in.
The organization uses the proceeds
for wildlife conservation and
propagation projects.
Bird Importation
M. L. MacSpadden, president, re
minded the directors that $2,500 had
been allocated for the importation
of Norwegian blackcock for this
area when the birds are available.
He said that about $800 of the $2,500
appropriated for the planting of
grayling to the Juneau area had
already been spent.
Approximately $200 of the $500
allocated for wolf control was ex
I pended last winter and $500 has
| been invested in the Junior Trout
, Derby. The organization spends a
' few hundred dollars each winter to
! feed deer in order to preserve a
breeding stock.
It was decided that winners in
; the junior derby would receive
only one prize in the event that
one youngster had more than one
winning fish. A judging com
mittee will be appointed.
Various angles to improve the
salmon derby were discussed. It
was brought out that in the present
system of giving awards, men were
winning permanent waves and
women were getting packboards. The
idea was advanced that it might be
more satisfactory for winners to
■ choose their prizes. I
He was directed to look into the
; purchase of new scales because the
| fish were so big this year both pre
I sent scales were broken.
Shattuck was directed to look
: into getting small lapel buttons for
j prize winning fishermen next year.
Marquardt and Shattuck thanked
(the Alaska Electrio Light and Power
| Co for use of its window for the
: derby display and to Jack Warner
I for cable to anchor the barge at
i Tee Harbor.
MacSpadden announced that ac
i cording to the revised by-laws, a
| general meeting of the mmebership
and election of officers would be
held Oct. 2.

Bumper Cotton Crop
Eases Expert Ban to
Friendly Nations
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9—OP)—'The
government has eased restrictions
on the export of cotton. The ac
tion was made possible by forecasts
of a bumper crop of 16.266,000 bales.
Secretary of Agriculture Bramian
announced yesterday that rigid ex

export licensing system under which
friendly countries can get all the
cotton they need while the govern
ment can ban shipments to un
friendly areas.

Virginia's Demos Winning Primary
By the Associated Press
The Democratic organization in
Virginia headed by U. S. Senator
Harry F. Byrd has emerged about
as strong as ever from Tuesday’s
primary elections.
In Mississippi, former Governor
Hugh White appeared to be one of
the two candidates who will battle
It out in a run-off primary Aug. 28
for the gubernatorial nomination.
But who his opponent will be re
mained in doubt. Unofficial, incom
plete returns from the first primary
Tuesday gave White 84,321 out of
367,652 votes. The rest of the votes
were so split as to make it impos
ible for any candidate to get a
majority, making the run-off the
most certain result of the first pri
mary.
h—
In one-party Mississippi, a pri
mary victory is tantamount to el
ection.
Second place was a three-way
toss-up between Paul Johnson, Jr.,
Lieut. Gov. Sam Lumpkin and Ross
Barnet.
The Byrd faction in Virginia lost
two state Senate races, however,
both in touch-and-go areas.
GOES TO CALIFORNIA
Miss Betty Tailor lias resigned
as secretary at the Alaska Nation
al Guard headquarters. She leaves
Saturday for her home at Long
Beach, Calif. Miss Taylor has been
with the headquarters for the past '
three years and is being replaced
by Miss Elinor Minter.
