BOOSTS
 SALES OF CANNED
 SALMON. REPORT SHOWS

That national advertising Of can ned salmon is enabling the salmon industry to sell a larger proportion of the supply of salmon is demon strated in a report just submitted to the advertising committee of the Canned Salmon Industry by J. Wal ter Thompson Company.
 The report covers the five years during which the industry has been carrying on it's advertising program. The first phase Of the report com pares the sales performance during the first four years Of advertising, I935-1939 with the average f0f the ten years prior to the start of the advertising campaign.
 For this period. the average total [. 5. salmon pack showed an in crease of 13.1 per cent. Sales show ed a gain during the period of ad- yertising Of 16.2 per cent, while the average year-end surplus was re- duced by 7.6 per cent. The average annual increase in sales amounted to approximately one million cases.
 The second phase Of the report deals separately with the last pack selling season, the year 1939-40. This sales year is considered separ- ateIy because the short pack during 1939 presented the industry with conditions varying greatly from the average of the proceeding years.
 During the last year, the salmon industry pack showed a decline ot 9.4 percent from the average for the ten years before the advertising campaign started. The total supply a assIlable for sale during the year was 9.0 percent below this ten year average.
 Despite this large decline in avail able supply, sales during the year declined only four and a half per cent. or at the rate Of only half the decline in supply. The year end car ryoyer was approximately one third less than the ten year average.
 The report also indicates that cumulative effect of the adYertls- ing is helping to produce an i'm proved showing each year. Prior to the start of the advertising program, the annual sales of the industry averaged 85 per cent of the avail able supply.

RIDDEN PLEDGES SUPPORT FOR LOCAL AIRPORT

Hedging support to Wrangells airport project and lending hope that another appropriation may be made by the forthcoming Legisla- iure toward construction Of the Held. Senator Henry Roden Of Ju- ueau. Attorney General-elect, was a guest speaker at the regular lunch con meeting Of the Chamber Of Com merce Monday noon in the Civic Center. Senator Roden said natural growth of aviation coupled with the defense program in the north makes it imperative that landing fields be established. He pointed to Wrangell as an example of the real need for landing fields throughout the north.
 Wheeled planes are coming more and more into use on the northern flights. the Senator said, and we must provide them with facilities. You need an air field here, and I will do everything l can to see that you get it."
 Roden explained that there was some question whether the S25,000 ear-marked out Of the roads funds for the First Division by the last Legislature could be made available as it had to be made after the road fund was set up. However, he said, he proposed al the forthcoming ses- sion to urge appropriation for such projects as the Wrangell air field first and trim the road funds ac- eordingIy.
 The Senator stopped over here Monday en route to Juneau after a business trip Outside.
 Other guests of the chamber were C. A. Turyo. widely known here some 30 years ago when he was the Canadian Customs agent at the boundary, and J. E. Boyle, Union Oil representative. Legionnaire Boyle, who represented the local American Legion post Of which he is a member, at the Juneau Legion convention, suggested that Wrangell point for the Legion Department convention here in 1922 when B. NJ. Campbell of Wrangell now second Vice Commander of the Department, l will be in line for Department Com mander.
 MT. Turyo expressed pleasure att the steady growth of Wrangell. HeI said he was particularly impressed by the many new homes which have gone up since he was last here, re- Yealing a substantial and permanent growth.

 STATION FOR ALASKA
 PROBABLY AT KETCHIKAN

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 - Rear Admiral Russell R. Waesche, com mandant of the coast guard, told the house appropriations committee that it is proposed to build a new coast guard radio station in Alaska, at a cost Of s238,000.
 Later, the appropriations con- mittee approved the request and ask ed congress to make the appropria- tion. Admiral Waesche testified the project is one 'of the utmost im- portance" because of coast guard ac- tivities in connection with neutral ity patrol
 Admiral Waesche said the new station would be most important be- cause of rapid expansion taking place in Alaska. He said existing army stations are not able to furnish the service needed by the coast guard
 The chances are nine to one'' that Ketchikan win get the new station, Waesche said.

nonchalance Tom felt that there was
something unscrupulous, dangerous

seemed never to have found his

seeking the role best suited to his
many talents. He was tremendously
wealthy, having inherited fortunes
on both his mothers and fathers

cial news as often as it was in
the social and sporting pages. He
had lectured on half a dozen cul-
