New England Fish Industry Still Rooms
 SO Percent Rise
 ln Output Expected
 ln Next 10 Yeors
By ESTEILE BOND

Boston. Nov. IS - CUP) - New Englands fishing industry. still the nations largest as in clipper ship days, should increase at least so percent in the next 10 years--be- cause more people are eating fish than ever before.
 That prediction was the consen- sus of a United Press survey today of New England fishing ports. The feeling is that production will res- pond to denand-and many fami- lies who never tasted fish before the war now prefer it to meat.
 Boston, which boasts the largest individual pier in the world, still is the nations No. fishing port from point of money value and products landed. However, for the past three years Gloucester has surpassed Bos- toms tonnage.
 Protection Tripled
 Since 1918. the industry's annual production has more than tripled itself. Currently, there are about L. 200 boats fishing New England wa- ters, including $50 of the bigger type and the remainder lobster boats and those manned by the Italian fishing fleet which goes out on 48-hour trips.
 Some 22l.0Oo.O0o pounds of fishing were landed at Gloucester last year Of which 90 percent were filleted. Boston had le0O00 900 pounds of which 50 percent were filleted and New Bedford loi, ,000, 900 of which 54 percent were hlleted.
 Bostons production this year isn't expected to equal last year because of a five-month tie-up of the entire fleet in Q wage dispute. But after that, the gky's the limit, with fishermen from all parts Of the region attracted here by the higher prices normally paid in this port.
 Prices per boatload here currently are running this way: haddock, i2 to IS i-2 cents a. pound; codfish, 6 i-2 to i4 S~2; small haddock, 10 to ls i-2: hake, 5 to 10; pollock, ( Ia to T; rosefish. { Ia to 6 Ia; and founders. { i-2 to l2.
 Haitb0t Chased With Lobster
 Because of the scarcity of han- but, that fish nov Is in the same luxury class as lohster-sometimes selling for si a pound. Only "aristo- cratic appetites" can afford to like halibut these days, a member of the New England Fish Exchange said.
 Executive Secretary Thomas D. Rice of the Massachusetts Fisheries Association said flshermens earn ings in Boston run about s7O00 or 5000 annually. In Gloucester, an- other spokesman said the average fisherman makes between e4,O00 and s6000 a year.
 Now that salaries are more at. tractiye than in prewar days, the New England fishing industry ex- poets a marked expansion in it's present 35.000 total employment. After all, there's no telling hog many more workers will be needed now that fish is preferred on more and more tables in the nation.

BUT 45 BOATS CALL
 HERE. JANUARY SEPTEMBER

Wrangell Chamber of Commerce, in it's fight to obtain better boat service for Wrangell, has uncover ed some interesting figures which show that from January to Sep tember, 1946, Wrangell has had but 45 boats call here north and southbOund
 Recently, the Chamber wired the War Shipping Administration re- cuesting that Wrangell be given more frequent service. It replied by saying that their records showed that since the first of the year Wrangell had had semi-monthly sailings and that in view of The small tonnage in an out of Wran- gell, it would not be feasible to put on additional ships.
 Records from the Mccormack Dock Company office show that from January 1 to September 21, 1946 Wrangell had 24 boats stop here north bound and 21 south bound, making a total of 45 calls. In 1940 ships calling in Wrangell north bound numbered 176; south bound, Al, making a grand total of 317.
 It was pointed out by the Cham Der also, that Wrangell could not well build up its tonnage without boats with which to build it.

DR. NELSON. LOCAL PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON
 DIES OF HEART ATTACK

Dr. Alvin T. Nelson. local phy- sieian and surgeon, died last Tues day of a heart attack while deer hunting on the swamps back of Mt. Dewey.
 Dr. Nelson came to Wrangell n year ago last May 15, and gained for himself a place and esteem in the community few residents have enjoyed in so short a time He was loved and respected by all for his brilliant mind and ability in hia profession, and his passing is be- ing keenly felt by his numerous friends He had built for himself 6 standing in Wrangell which will be difficult to fill.
 Dr. Nelson was born in Basin. Wyoming, and attended school in Laramie. He attended the Univar- sity of Nebraska medical school ir Omaha from which he graduated with high honors. He interned at in Detroit, Michigan. He was member of the National Board of Medicine.
 In 1944 he entered the medisll corps of the Army but was dis charged eight months later because of heart condition. For three months he practiced medicine in Worland. Wyoming, and then came to Wrangell
 Although he was aware of hls heart condition, it did not become acute until about two weeks ago. and although he knew his time was short, he carried on his work and duties to the last.
 Used to hunting in Wyoming where travel through the woods is not difficult, he went on his first deer hunt in Alaska last Tuesday and apparently travel through she underbrush and muskeg proved too
 The high esteem in which he was held was demonstrated Tues day evening when, at dusk, he had not returned, the anxiety towns people felt, and virtually every man in town volunteered to join searching parties. Various parties searched all night hoping that they might see a camp fire which he would have built if caught put after dark. At dawn another large party wnt out and about 10 a. :n. Wednesday morning he was found by Einar Otteson and Ben EngdalI In the tnuskeg back of Binkleys farm.
 His body was brought to town and his sister in Ten Sleep, Wyom- ing, Mrs. D. T. Prison, was noti- fled At the family's request the body was sent to Ketchikan this morning by Coast Guard cutter for enbalming and MT. Prison is due to arrive in Ketchikan to- morrow to accompany the body south for burial.
 Besides his sister in Ten Sleep, pr. Nelson is survived by another sister in Laramie and his mother, Mrs. Inez Nelson.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REVEALS FACTS IN
 LOCAL FOOD CRISIS

Secretary of the Chamber Of Commerce and Mayor of Wrangell Mrs. Doris Barnes read a wire re ceiyed by her as Mapor at the Chamber meeting yesterday from Edgar Warren of the Reconcilia- tion Board stating that boat of foodstuffs for Wrangell will be loaded and released if the town will advise 1t.
 Leo Mccormack reported that the town of Wrangell will shortly be without fresh milk. Nore's Dairy k now slaughtering their herd and will continue to do so until they have but two young cows left, and this definitely means no milk for Wrangell President James Nolan pointed out that the dairy was un- able to get the equipment and feed necessary to carry on operations. Also pointed out by MT. McCor- mack was a law preventing the importation of fresh milk from Seattle because the standards oe the Washington state food laws are not high enough.
 Staff Sgt. sam Pickering of the local ACS office reported that when he asked his Seattle office for supplies for the local ACS men and their families he received return wire stating that it would take two weeks to go through government channels and Wash ington, D. c. and then nothing could be guaranteed.
 What Has Been Done
 It was pointed out that several local seine boats, such as the Tiny Boy, XL and the Christine had brought limited supplies from Ket- chikan to several of the local mer- chants and small shipments of fcodstuffs, chiefly greens, had been received at the City Market from Canada on the last CPR boat. All these supplies had been bought up within a few hours.
 Slaughtering of the local dai,y herd has relieved the meat short age in some quarters with local residents and restaurants buying sides of COW beef. Lack of cold storage makes this unpracticaDle for many. President Nolan report ed that 1t is possible for small ia- diVidual orders to be flown by air express from retailers in Ketchi- kan and that it has been done He reported that other towns were 9 head of Wrangell in charterir their own boats to relieve in mounting food shortage. Ketchik has five chartered boats now oper ating and expect to put on sixth Petersburg has two and Jun ean has three.
 0PA COoperates
 Mrs. Barnes announced she received a wire from the OPA say ing they had authorized all Alas '-a merchants that they could add the cost of all unusual transportatio to the ceiling price of all OPA- controlled items.
 It was found that all foodstuffs can be purchased from Canada eX- cGDI DulltT anu meat WhiCh NbAAtH da ships to Britain under an agree ment. The cost involved for the merchant in addition to the freight rate would be a duty of from quar- ter of af cent a pound to one .an one-half cents a pound plus two collars and fifty cents counselor's invoice for the complete shipment or in lieu of an invoice a boad must be posted. In any case the cost is not too great or the red tape too involved.
 It was also reported that 800 tons of perishables a day are be- ing dumped into the bay at Seat tie because of the transportation tie-up. Also, that celery crop g. mounting to about $30,00O has been completely lost because of strikes.
