Possibility of 50,000 skin per year hair seal industry in Alaskan waters, including the Kodiak req, was described at a meeting Tues day night of interested persons in the ADF&G offices by Zane Ney, of the Alaska Seal Co. of Anchor age, which is agent for Pacific Seal Co. Ltd, New Westminster, BC.
 He said that prices at present range from $4 to $15-plus the B state bounty-which could produce income sufficient to justify many seal hunters going into the work in this area.
 The firm is setting up purchas- ing network throughout Alaska, and although Kodiak will not be a pickup spot at first, whenever the number of incoming furs from this area justifies it, a permanent pick up arrangement will be set up here, Ney said.
 Ney emphasized that this is a straight purchasing operation for a solid market and is not "specu- lative," hence the seal hunter gets the largest chunk of the sealskins value, and the market will be con tinuous so hunting industry can be based on it.
 The skins will go to a European firm, Vandaal & Meijer, which has been using between 100000 ano 100000 skins year from the Scandinavian and northern Canada areas. The demand is particularly urgent right now because a ship sank off eastern Canada recently with a loss of 3O,OO0 or more seal skins.
 Ney stressed that his prices will not be fantastic, but will be de- pendable and there will be no middle man. making unreason- able profits. He advised that their firm would refuse to purchase such skins from such a middle man. .

we want to buy direct from the hunters" he stated.
 Ney advised that ADF&G Pro- lection Officer Ovid Mckinley is the man for interested persons to contact in this area.
 Average price per sealskin now will be around $8 or $9, he said, making an amount plus bounty of $11 or SIP, which justifies regular hunting. He estimated that about six weeks of suitable time remains for seal hunting this season. The firm will not be interested in pur- chasing skins taken from June ;o September because the animals shed during that period.
 Next week the Mirror will carry an article prepared by the firm Oil the proper handling of seal skins.

Kodiak To Get Freighter Every Two Weeks Now

A new Alaska Steamship Com pany service to the Kodiak-Adak areas with sailings from Seattle every two weeks was announced today by D. R. Renbarger, general traffic manager of the line.
 The first sailing under the new schedule will be the steamship Tonsina from Seattle May 15.
 "This new, frequent service has been set to meet the expanding commercial and Navy tonnage re- uu;rements of Kodiak and Adak and to insure adequate southbound schedules for the expanding move ment of frozen fish," Renbarger said.
 "This steps up Alaska Line Sery- ice to Kodiak from once every three weeks and establishes the first regular Adak schedules pro- vided in recent years" Renbarger said.
 Because of the split loading of vessels on this run between Pier AZ and Pier 91, all Adak shipments will require special permits, it was pointed out.

Deveau Determined On Swimming Pool

The man who owns the only priv ate swimming pool between All chorage and Tokyo, Pete Deveau, is still determined there should be a swimming pool adequate to meet the needs of the people of Kodiak.
 Having so far, without any as- sistance raised $11,000 in pledges toward accomplishing this objec tive, Deveau has turned his atten- tion now to the matter of the ac- quisition of "the ideal spot of land" which is located immediately next to the public schools manual train ing shop.
 Deveau said he has plans for both 60 and 8O-foot pools. His aim is to acquire the land, using the same type of non-profit organization as used by the Spa group in Anchor age, and immediately set about con- struction of the pool which would include the necessary appurtances such as a circulating pump, small boiler and two filters.
 A portion of the land could also be used as a site for the Teen Club organization building and the poE would be readily accessible for use by the school children, Deveau pointed out.
 The pool, which would be an out door pool to begin with, would be so constructed as to make possible the construction of building to enclose it for year-round use later on.
 Deveau appeared before the city council last night and reported on progress to date. The city has al ready taken the first steps oward acquiring the site suggested by Deveau.
 Deveau pointed out that the city of Juneau already has in operation an outdoor swimming pool that has been very successful there.

Will Deliver Fresh Milk Every Day

Two Kodiak Oldtimers, Al and Hazel Nixon, who have supplied fresh milk for two generations of Kodiak children during the past 18 years, have announced that they are able to furnish fresh raw milk for forty cents per quart or $50 per gallon from now on
 We have furnished milk for almost two decades to the people of Kodiak and we want the public to know that our fresh raw milk. from our state-tested dairy herd oe cows, packaged under Grade A fa- cilities at our ranch, can be deliv cred to your door," the Nixon's said today.
 We started our dairy over 18 years ago when we retired" to our island, Crooked Island, with one COW. AS time went by and more and more people wanted our milk, we added more COWS. Eventually we had to move from the island to the Bell Flats area due to the size of our herd which now has 80 head of stock Al said.
 The Nixons said they no longer had the creamery here and advised that the equipment was owned " the Matanuska Coop on the main land.
