who live in trailers. The largest
plant (given away as a door
prize) was won by Lee “Brown
ie” Brown of Soldotna who
works for Coastal Drilling. Se
cond prize, a Sunbeam Shave
master was won by John Mar
tin of Soldotna.
A second plant and a metal
tool box were given for guess
ing two numbers. The numbers
were chosen by Bill Cardwell
who selected the date that Penn
opened his hardware store
(1956) and the license number
on Penn’s pickup (24060). These
prizes were won by J.W. Clan
ton of Sterling and Dorothy
Stewart of Ridgeway, respec
tively, with guesses of 1961 and
23,654.
Showing that people can go
along with a joke, several peo
ple showed up bearing sacks of
gravel in response to Penn’s
plea that his friends “Don’t

Penn would be so successful

Hon. James K. Carr
Under Secretary of the Interior
Washington 25, D. C.
Dear Mr. Carr:
There is imperative need for
acceleration and expansion of
our fisheries research program
in the North Pacific.
It is my understanding that
there is now under considera
tion a budgetary request for ap
proximately $3.3 mililon, about
half of which would be sought
by way of supplemental ap
propriation and the remaining
half for the next fiscal year.
If this money is not approp
riated. the United Stales will be
in a truly desperate plight two
years from now when the North
Pacific Treaty will, if all goes
well, be renegotiated.
The plain fact of the matter
is that as of now we lack ade
quate scientific data to insure
writing into a treaty provisions
which would be adequately pro
tective of salmon spawned in
North American streams, and,
perhaps, adequately protective
of other species of fish. Real
research in this area started
only about five years ago. The
program has been rather mod
est. It is not now well enough
advanced to protect our nation
al interests.
That is why it is downright
essential that these new ap
propriation requests be approv
ed all along the line.
The need for affirmative ac
tion is emphasized by the fact
that a grave new threat to the
American fishery is posed by
the impending entrance into the
eastern waters of the North
Pacific Ocean of Russian fish
ing fleets; which it is feared,
plan to operate on a very large
scale.
Our North Pacific fishery is
one of this nation’s priceless as
sets, which, properly protected,
can serve our people forever.
If not properly protected, it can
be lost to us in a few years.
We cannot hope to hold our
own in any negotiating process
unless United States represen
tatives are equipped with facts.
Those facts can be made avail
able to them only if this acceler
ated research program is ap
proved and promptly placed in
operation.
Ever so sincerely I hope that
both the supplemental and
regular fiscal year money re
quests may be honored.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) E. L. Bartlett
