Fireworks Display Set
For July Fourth

A big display of fireworks OF
all kinds will be given on the
night of the 4th Of July as part
of the community celebration OF
independence Day.
The display will be handled
by the VIEW for the Fourth OF
July Committee, and will be
presented at the waterfall, south
west of town, as soon as it is
dark enough.
Children are warned by the
Police Department that the set
ting off of firecrackers and other
fireworks within the city limits
is banned by law.
In previous years, dealers
have sold firecrackers at stated
times on the beach and they had
to be fired there This year, how
ever, none of the regular dealers
have any fireworks in supply,
and so far as is known, there
will be none for sale in Seward.

Sport Fishermen Must
Hove Licenses

Sport fishermen are warned
by Clarence j. Rhode, Regional
Director of Fish and Wildlife
Service and executive officer of
the Alaska Game Commission, of
the license requirements for
trout and grayling fishing in
fresh waters of Alaska.
During the past few weeks
we have received number OF
violation reports, particularly on
fishing without licenses" said
Mr.. Rhode, land while we are
charged with the responsibility
of enforcing the law it is better
for everyone if fishermen would
consult the regulations and
avoid complications with the
laws.
FISHERMEN are reminded that
licenses expire on June 80. The
new regulations, effective July
|, provide for limit of Is fish
or Is pounds and one fish daily
or in possession. Previously ang-
lers were allowed two days bag
limit in possession. Closed areas
and other d e a i S should be
checked in the new regulations.
FISHERMEN are reminded that
game fish reproduce slowly in
Alaska as compared with warm
er and more productive waters.
Observing necessary legal re-
strictions is simply matter of
good craftsmanship to give the
other fellow his share"

CEMENT PLANT CONSTRUCTION BEGINS

Work on the moving and re-
inforcing of buildings, the build
ing of a railroad spur and con-
struction of facilities starts i'm
mediately in the yards Of the
Seward Fish & Cold Storage
Company.
The go-ahead signal from Su-
perior Portland Cement, Inc,
was received by Tom Riley, gen
eral manager of the Cold Stor-
age plant, three days ago, when
he was put in charge of the en-
tire installation.
Construction work is being
rushed to completion by August
~, as the first load of bulk &C.
ment will be received on that
date, according to Riley.
Contracts were awarded last
week for nearly a million dol
lars worth of bulk cement for
Alaska construction projects to
two Seattle firms Awards were
approved by Col. O. E. Walsh.
North Pacific Division Army En-
gineers. One is for $55O,94O to
Superior Portland Cement to
supply approximately $4,000
pounds of bulk cement for use
at Fort Richardson. The other
went to Permanente Cement Co.
in the amount of S373,o15 for
cement to be used at Eielson Air
Force Base in Fairbanks.
Mr.. Riley has been instructed
by the cement company TO pDr..
chase all materials so far as is
possible in Seward and to use
only local labor in the buildino
project if there are enough men
available.
The corporation had planned
10 nave the work completed by
this time, but construction was
delayed pending the awarding
OF government contracts. It will
now proceed with all possible
speed, under the management of
Mr.. Riley.
Processing and storage of fish
at the plant will continue with
out interruption. The halibut
season closes early next month.
but the last few days has seen
an increase in the number of
boats putting in at the company
dock. The Seward Marine Ways.
also operated by the same COM
pany, will continue work as
usual, with the vessel North
western nearly ready to come
off the ways.

REPORT GOOD FISHING
SEASON AT CORDOVA

Since the close of the fishing
season at Cordova, Seward fish
ermen have been returning with
stories of good hauls. Bob
Stearns in the Sea Urchin came
in last Saturday; Fred BrossoW
brought the Marathon in Tues
day; and Kendall (Casey) Cob
ban returned in the Yonder
Bound Wednesday evening.
Bob Stearns, accompanied by
Ken Shearer, is headed for the
Cook Inlet fishing next week.
Casey Cobban, with All Raffens-
perger, will also be going to the
Inlet soon. ....
Casey had a bit of tough luck
in having his boat break down
in the middle of the Cordova
season, but managed to get it
fixed in a few days and re-
sumed fishing.
