BOardWay to Feature
New Crab Processing

A canned crab that has a fresh
crab flavor, an exclusive process
which is the result of eight years
experimentation, is to be featured
by V. l.. Boardway, under the we'll
known Alaska Ice-Pak brand, and
buildings to house the new plant
are now being constructed on lower
Front Street, ON the city dock for
merly occupied by the Diamond X
floating cannery warehouse. The
new industry will employ some 80
or 40 local workers, and use five
boats. Construction on a two story
building 20 K 40, and a single story
building 20 so began early this
week, and both are scheduled to be
completed by May Is at which time
vacuum machines from the Ameri
can Can company are expected.
These machines, entirely new in de-
sign and expressly developed for the
crab packing industry, are automa
tic. The capacity of the plant for
the first month or so will be about
90 cases a day, after which the
plant may be extended. A season of
ten months per year is anticipated.
Flourishing Industry
The crab industry is one industry
in the United States which is flour
ishing, according to Mr.. Boardway.
There has been a good market for
crabs for several years, and a de-
cidedly brisk demand for the new
process pack within the past few
monthg The demand appears to be
principally from Pacific Coast dea
ers at present, Boardway says, a4l..
he looks forward to even greater de-
mand when the middle west and
eastern consumers become familiar
with the product.
Grab meat for the Ice-Pak brand
is prepared in the following man
ner: the back shell is removed, the
meat split down the middle, washed
the shakers, who shake the meat out
of the shell. The meat is then hand
picked, and all shell particles and
dark-colored membranes removed.
The meat is then rinsed and washed
and delivered to the packing tables,
where it is placed in paper-lined
tins, clinched and sealed.
Seven or eight men will be en-
ployed in the butchering process.
and cleaning the meat women
workers will do the shaking and
packing. About nine shakers and
four packers are required. A days
work is limited to about six or six
and one-half hours. Rate of pay has
not yet been announced. and will
possibly be decided when a code for
the industry is framed.
Quite number of applications
have been received from fishermen
and boat owners who wish to engage
in fishing crabs, Mr.. Boardway
said, but he Is leaving this matter
open until he is ready to start opera
tions. He will be in the market for
crabs from Independent fishermen.
too, he informed the Sentinel.

what do you think about the
liquor regulations?" was the ques-
ton put to various representative
citizens of Wrangell this week. 1t
is a topic of much discussion these
days, Judging by the ease with
which opinions were garnered along
Front Street, and in places of bust
ness.
With the PRONUNCIATION of regula-
lions by the territorial liquor con-
troll board in Juneau much comment
has been passed, and many are out
spoken in their dissatisfaction with
the way the affair is being handled.
In order to find out just what the
public thought about it. the Senti-
mel assigned its "inquiring reporter
to the task of interviewing anyone
and everyone on the subject.
Most significant is the fact that
among all those interviewed, not
single one seemed to favor the sale
of Intoxicating liquor by private
individuals. Fears were expressed
that competition among vendors
would lead to high powered sales
manship with a natural tendency
to increase the consumption of
liquor. Virtually all were of the
opinion that if there was any profit
to be made in liquor, the town
should claim the lions share.
Here are some of the expressions
on the subject:
Chas. Benjamin: 81 am one of
those who intend to see that the
town has something to say about
the way liquor shall be handled. One
good feature about municipal liz
uor store is, there will be no in
centive to boost sales. If there is
any profit to be made, however, it
should be the town.
P. C. Mccormack: 81 haven't been
back long enough to become famil
lar with the new liquor regulations.
AL I can say is that it should be
handled with care
C. P. Kirtland: "The only salts
factory arrangement would be for
the territory to dispense liquor, and
municipalities.
Donald Sinclair: 81 would prefer
to see liquor handled by the terri
tory, and under permit system
similar to that of British Columbia,
or some of the other Canadian pro-
vinces. l was in Toronto for three
weeks some time ago, and the only
intoxicated person I saw on the
street was an American from Mag
ara Falls The hours of sale should
be restricted, and there should be
no sales on Sunday. | won't vote for
any territorial candidate who re
fuses to come out clearly on this
subject"
Mrs. Warren Chisholm: 1.-THE
number of liquor dispensers should
be in accordance with the popula
ton of each town. II the territory
handles it, the town should get part
of the profit"
Thomas Dalgity: 1.-THE territory

Best in Several Years

best in years, according to F. An

L. A. Olson: 1.-THE territory

M. o. Johnson: THE territory or
the municipality would be prefer
able to private sales. The town

the profits should be used to retire

Mrs. Wheeler: 1.-THE most salts
factory way would be for the terri
tory to handle intoxicating liquors,
and reimburse the town for the ex-
pense of law enforcement"
A Engstrom: 81 think the terri
tory should have complete control.
Regarding beer dispensaries, if the
regulations were enforced, all right.
Some of the dispensers have abused
the privilege. however No intoxi-
eants should be sold to habitual
drunkards or minors"
James Nolan; THE territory and
the municipality should collaborate
in dispensing liquor, but in order
to keep the matter out of politics
the territory should WELD the big
