GOLD HORACE HAS
 RECORD STOCK OF
 FISH NOW ON HAND

Frozen fish, hundreds of thous- ands of salmon, halbut and black cod stacked like cord wood to the ceiling and so close to the doorways one can scarcely step inside. is all one sees in the freezing and stor- age rooms of the Juneau Cold Stor- age.
 Molly McSpadden, plant foreman, reports that the Cold Storage now has 8,0O0O00 pounds on hand. AS new lots come in and are frozen and glazed, they are being stored in passageways and quick freeze rooms. There is room for only an other half million pounds at most, says McSpadden, before the remain ing space, including the ice plant, will be completely filled.
 Last year at about this time, the Cold Storage had some 900,000 pounds of fish. It was loaded on the Army Transport Taloah in three days. This year there is already enough fish to fill the 100000 pound refrigerator capacity of the Taloah twice over.
