DOUGLAS
 NEWS
CANNERY MEET TUESDAY

Yesterday afternoon at the City Hall, boat owners, cannery workers and investors discussed the poSsi- bilities of forming corporation of Channel residents as stockholders in company which would buy the Douglas cannery equipment and lease from the R and H Import O. of New York, and operate it as a fish cannery and smoked fish specialities.
 The cannery now belongs to the above company, from which the Douglas Packing Go sub-leased the operation and equipment during the last season and recently stated that they do not intend to operate it this year
 Moine Miller, bookkeeper for the Douglas Packing Company last year, has arrived from Seattle af- ter conferring with Mayor Marcus Jensen who is now in the States, and is organizing a corporation to insure the cannery's operation this year.
 Present plans of Miller are to en- list all possible finance from inter- ested local citizens with stock in the cannery and hopes to raise S35,O00 of which $20000 is the pur- chase price. Miller stated at yes terday's meeting that local resi- cents of Douglas had already ex- pressed their willingness to the amount of S19,000 and he felt sure the balance needed could be raised.
 The cannery operation as pro- posed would operate on a five month season, beginning the latter part of April and would can smok- ed halibut and salmon in one half pound cans up to the time the re- gular canning season began, and then would operate along the same lines as previous years. Under pre- sent plans the cannery would then again put up specialities during the fall fishing season making total of five. months operation.
 Miller stated he is already assur- cd of the F pound canning equip p1ent which is installed by a can company on rental basis. The ad- ditional line would not replace the one-pound fine, but would be in ad- dItion to it.
 All phases of cannery operation were discussed as to fish supply and other necessary financial aid which would necessarily be enlisted, and it was generally agreed, that if the money can be raised and the enter rrise incorporated it would stand good chance of being a success, and most certainly benefit to the community.
 A meeting of investors and pos sible investors has been called for tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock in the City Hall, when articles of in- corporation will be presented and machinery put in motion to begin operations.

 In And Now Tomorrow Alan Ladd undertakes. with startling dra- matic poise, completely new type of role, that of a medico of sub stantial renown. Miss Young plays her -hundredth film role op- posite MT. Ladd in the character of Emily Blain, a naughty heiress who suffers serious illness on the eve of her engagement to Jess Stoddard, played by Barry Sullif van.
