Latest Fish Pack
 Records Released

ffS1ow that the salmon season is over in Alaska, except for a few minor fisheries. it is pos sible to summarize how things went in the major areas. al though in some cases latest pack figures are not available.
 Bristol Bay produced a disa- ppointing packof 353, 687 cases all species, the bulk of which was red salmon. This was at least partly expected and therefore the canneries engag- ed in a concentration program to cut expenses.
 This was the weak cycle for pink salmon on the Alaska Peninsula, and the season was set for an early closure with one district closed entirely. Nevertheless. the total pack |of 2s'5, 1880 cases. of which GA, SAT cases were pinks, was a decided improvement over the cycle year.
 The Chignik red salmon in so far as the commercial catch went. It amounted to II, ,07S cases, although other species brought the total pack up to IFS, 282 cases.
 Kodiak's total pack of 562, 1870 cases was we'll above the 20 year average of 500, ,07A cases. Pink and chum salmon made up the bulk of this pack the once-important red salmon pack continued to decline. Cook Inlet red salmon pro- duced reasonably good catches on the two days of each week that were open to commercial fishing. Also. pinks were in good abundance during; early. August. The total pack of $50, : 905 cases was well above aver age. ss
 Prince William Sound was closed under a two year pro- gram to restore the salmon. Surveys have shown this re- striction to have been a wise one--so few fish arrived that a commercial operation would have been a failure. However, improved escapement was a. chieved.
 Fortunately, nearby Copper River had a good run of red salmon which provided a mea- sure of relief to the Cordova fisherman.
 The once great pink salmon runs of Southeast Alaska fail ed to appear in volume, as has been the case during the past several years. Despite greatly curtailed trap and selne fish ing operations. it was neces- sary to close early many of the Southeastern districts to per- nit an increase in escapement.
 The chum salmon runs were good in Southeast Alaska, how
 lever, and catches of this lspecies were especially large

Letter to Budd Fukei:

W Ds@uu
Our twenty-one day tour of ia
pan has come to an end and we
are now on our own, living with
relatives We have seen and done
many things Ind would like to re-
late a few of our impressions.
To start with. it's strange feel
ing to see that everyone around
you is Japanese
When we visited the imperial
grounds we were very fortunate to
see the Emperor and Empress as
they were leaving the grounds OF
course we were honored for that
privilege, but even more so, when
we learned that many people have
waited years just for that same OPP
portunity. Zone thing which made
us feel uneasy throughout the
whole tour were the stares we got
from the people we passed While

we were touring the lower Imperi-
al grounds with hundreds OF other
people we were just inspected up
and down It was a very uncom-
Portable feeling to be looked at
like that
From the moment we locked at
Yokohama till the end of the tour,
the reception given us was just
wonderful. We feel very special as
we were presented flowers and
greeted by many city officials, and
also the reporters and photogra-
pliers And also we were impress
sed by their manner They bow so
much that we'll probably bring
that custom back to the states
with us
Also we saw for ourselves how
hard these people have to work.
Their land is utilized to a most
productive way. In a way, it is
good they haven't that much ma
chine power because that would
put a lot of these people out Of a
job
From our tour we have gained
better knowledge of japan anc
its people. Some of the things We
have seen made you appreciate

only for Europeans. We are CRATE
