EDITORIAL Great Need For Cold Storage Plant

Last week the Kodiak Cold Stor age Company made an optimistic report for the construction and op- eration of cold storage facility al Kodiak. Many of the residents oi Kodiak have long considered the potential of the cold storage plant at Kodiak, and the affects on the local economy.
 Ten years ago the construction of cold storage plant was started, and due to lack of financing and poor outlook for the business, the facility was never completed. Ko- diak Cold Storage Company has reviewed the changes in the last ten years which now appear to make a successful operation of a cold storage plant at Kodiak possi- ble.
 Kodiak was recently made Port of Entry allowing Canadian vessels to bring their catch to Kodiak for processing. Halibut which appears to be one of the major potentials of the presently contemplated cold storage plant is being fished for shorter periods of time than in pre- vious years. The shortened season, coupled with the voluntary import lay up observed by the fishermen between each trip, creates a neces- Sity for market and service facil- ity close to the fishing grounds.
 Tn addition to the foregoing,

thought out and most realistic we have seen so far. It is worth con- sidering.
 We highly endorse the City Man ager in his statement to the City Council when they were discussing the question of hiring a City en- gineer, when he said: If we can't hire a qualified one, I'd rather not have one at all. AS was brought out in the discussion, this town has needed one for a long time.
 
 We have on file here at the Mir TOT office a copy of all the bills that have passed through the House and Senate in the State Legislature. These are being sent to us by Rep. Gil Jarvela. We are happy to get them. Anyone who wishes may come in and read them or refer to them

 We also have copies of the Con- gressional Record, supplied us by our Washington, D. c. lawmakers. You may come in anytime and look them over.

very courteous throughout the in cident, which helped considerably.
 Another dog was reported this week as having been killed by poisoning, this time again near the dump It might be we'll to look further into the lethal powers of formula 108O, the poison used in killing off the rats at the old City dump-does it continue to have the power to kill long after the bait used has deteriorated? Or is ii as has been suggested someone who delights in killing off mans best friend, who is doing the pois- oning.
 The new approach of the Matan- uska Valley Chamber of Commerce in advocating legislation to move the capital to a more central loca- tion has merit, in that the site is to be chosen by a committee com posed of the Senior Senators from each Senatorial District in the State. This would make it bipar- tisan and non-political.
 They further suggest the crea- tion of a new site on State-owned land, the cost of building the fa- cilities to be borne by the sale or lease of land in the area.
 It would seem this question will always be with us. The big problem is accessibility. The group in Pal mer say it shouldn't be within a radius of thirty miles of Anchorage or Fairbanks. Wonder how those two cities are going to like that? But the sponsoring groups ap- proach to the problem is the best

there have been numerous changes in the last ten years which enhance the probability of successful cold storage operation at Kodiak in typical New York apartment. Made for laughs.
 Among these are the ever increas- ing market for all types of seafood, the creation of many new seafoods consumer products which provide an outlet for a greater variety of fish including bottom fish hereto fore considered economically i'm practical to handle and improved handling and processing tech niques.
 The cattle industry on the Ko- diak Islands has virtually devel- oped over the past decade. This industry is generally considered to have tremendous potential and could we'll find a considerable ad- vantage in having cold storage plant in the immediate area.
 Officials of Kodiak Cold Storage and the residents of Kodiak ex- press considerable optimism over the future of Kodiak and the new industries being developed. Ko- diak, with its ideal geographic To- cation, and numerous other natural assets, could well become the fish ing capitol of the North American continent within this decade.

Curtis is native of Russell, New

Somebody's face should have been red. One of our residents who it can be safely said leads a fairly routine and exemplary life, and who has an excellent record as a wife and mother, was confronted by three Marines as she stepped off a plane the other day on re- turning from Homer. Imagine her chargin and embarrassment when they told her they had orders to escort her off the Base. "Undesir- able" Husband and wife checked to see if they had the name correct. They had. They produced a list with her name on it. Quite num- Der of names of ladies who also are known to lead lives above reproach mothers, wives most of them these were also on the list. Their only "vice" if it can be called that is that they are bowling enthusi- aStS.
 Somehow, someone in security came up with wrong list. It's just lucky you ladies didn't appear about that time and an attempt made to escort you en mass off the station-lucky for the Marines who would attempt it, especially if you were equipped with your bowling balls and equipment. Then as the saying goes; Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
 Fortunately, incidents such as the above rarely occur. But when they do they can be embarrassing to the party concerned. The Ma rines who thought they were acting on instructions were said to be
