There may be others, but the Coast Guard has definitely established the exis- tence. of ond large floating cannery attended by three trawlers and Several, gasboats about eight miles off- shore in the vicinity of Port Moller. A fairly close in- spection by the Coast Guard revealed that crab can- ning was underwa the decks of the vessel being fitted for the purpose. The point, of course, that if the ship is equipped to pack crab, it likewise is equipped to pack salmon if its operators decide to do so. The Japanese conten- tion for years, before the agreement of last winter when Tokyo assured this country there would be no Nippon ships in Alaskan waters this season, has been that they were only fishing for crabs. This was used as sort of a defense against the charge that they were taking salmon and rapidly depleting the Alaska fishing grounds. It later developed that there was no question about their salmon operations, and admission was found this last winter in the agreement made by Tokyo with our own State Department to stay out of Alaskan' waters, But almost before the ink is dry on the agree- ment, the Japanese are back in Bristol Bay, “fishing for crabs,” if reports are to be believed, and there seems to be no question of their general accuracy. The chances are that if a fairly strong protest is made by this country, the floating cannery will dis- appear from Bristol Bay—and, after the flurry of such a protest, it will steam right back in again and Sarss ope; new. % A has Been the situation in the past, and it could go on indefinitely, agreement or no agreement. Tlere apparently is but one way in which to handle the Bristol Bay invasion problem and actually arrive at the point of protecting Alaska’s fishing banks That is to put into effect the bill now proposed in Congress to extend American jurisdiction over all Alaska fishing waters, regardless of the three-mile limit. It is cbviously apparent that unless this coun- try takes such a step and backs that move up with force, if need be, there will be no solution of the harassing situation in Bristol Bay. FI NCING UNDER NEW HOUSING ACT In connection with the Better Housing program now being pushed in this community, a great many questions are asked about financing and what the terms are under the new National Housing Act changes. Before acting, of course, the person plan- ning to take advantage of the housing provisions should, and no doubt will, contact the Federal Housing Administration in person. In an effort, however, to throw some light on the general provisions under the new act, we present the following salient points as offered by FHA authorities: Small down payment and large percenfage loan; long repayment period which makes periodic refinanc- ing unnecessary; reduetion of principal by convenient monthly payments which include carrying charges and ybefore con: a’meatter of record, that, taxes. For new construction appraised at $6,000 or less, | the down payment which may include the lot, can be as low as ten percent. occupancy and approved by the FHA for insurance ALASKA YOUTH of meat | C hezzi, | | tion FOR OLDSTERS Young Ghezzi, The home must be for owner | ’been dropped $1 a hundred pounds into Fairbanks—because with his fleet of refrigera- trucks represents a serious BLAZES THA IL | competitive menace. | .The short story of this pleasant, | clean-cut looking David among Go- liaths, is inspiring. son of the prom- ruction begin: Carrying charges are IlVE percent interest and one-fourth of one percent in- surance premium on outstanding balances, making | the total interest rate five and one-quarter percent. Repayment can extend for as long as 25 years in certain cases. Equal monthly payments—about like rent, frequently less—include a portion of the principal and taxes, interest and all other fixed charges. For homes appraised at amounts up to $10,000, loans can be figured on a basis of 90 percent of the first $6000 and 80 percent of the remainder the down payment will be between 10 and 20 percent, including the value of the lot, de- pending upon the total valuation. If the loan is for more than 80 percent; it must be for owner occupancy for insurance before construction is In such cases and started The interest may not be more than five percent approved and there is a saying of nearly one percent a year in financing charges. Carrying charges and taxes are included in each monthly payment—a sum. similar to rent. For homes appraised at more than $10,000 as low as 20 percent may be the down payment. The mortgage insurance premium rate 'is ohe-half of one percent, based on outstanding balances and the interest may not exceed five percent, rate Alaska Airmail Response 0. K. (Fairbanks News-Miner) ska's newly instituted airmail service is ori- self in a way to make Uncle Sam sit up and take notice. The first airmail to be dispatched southbound after the initial flight left Fairbanks recently over the pioneer route to Whitehorse and Juneau, to con- nect with coastal ship for the States. In that mail from this point were 128 pounds of letters. Allowing 50 letters to the pound, this means a total of €400 letters These figures reveal the fact Alaskans are quickly responsive to the new; service--and are pleased to pay twice the ordinary rate in order to get speedier de- livery, Not all the letters in the outgoing airmail were from Fairbanks, . Many of them were mailed at Nome and other distant.and interior points—and sent here under the airmail coverage by connecting airplanes and other star route lines. Alaskans have been made pretty well aware of the service. The thing now, is to get the friends and business houses in the Qutside world who write to Alaskans thoroughly acquainted with the fact the Alaska airmail is a regular thing. The Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce new has had cards printed to slip into each outgoing letter, re- minding all to whom it writes that they can and should respond by airmail in order to obtain the speediest possible delivery and at the same time en- courage the continuation and expansion of airmail service in Alaska. Other organizations and individuals might well pursue the same policy and insert some such small printed slip in their letters—or write a reminder to that effect at the end of each letter. It may cost a little something to add a second stamp to an airmail letter, but when it is calculated what the advantages are in the saving of time and speeding up of business turnovers the increased costs are nothing compared to the gains. Postmaster General James A. Farley visits Alaska this summer and he will see for himself and get a personal contact and insight and appreciation of what | the airmail really means to this vast American com- | monwealth, And with a liberal patronage .of this pioneer Fairbanks-Whitehorse-Juneau route he in all likelihood will be persuaded to exercise his authority | (in extending the airmail routes.to all major centers of the Territory. And by the way, Mr. Farley should be invited to | come visit Fairbanks—not merely skirt the coast. His coming here will go a long way toward getting what Interior Alaska should have in postal services, The most effective way to persuade him that the Golden Heart of Alaska is a place worth while is to | continue to give the airmail bumper patronage. | Deveiving the Jobless (Seward Gateway) Somewhere a Voice is Calling, and it seems to be in Alaska, judging from the way passengers are piling off the boats landing at Seward. Nobedy can be blamed for trying to help himself into something better, especially considering the de- plorable labor situation in the States. | 4 But it is a sad sight to see the hundreds that are | coming to Alaska this year, confidently looking forwarg | to good paying jobs. They will not be found, not in | any sense to the numbers who will be applyi Il‘\ all spells relief on a major scale, with disappointed | men milling about and in the end striving to get hack. | | Many unkind things, regrettably, are done in this | world, but about the most unkind is to build up I.llw‘ : hopes for jobless men. | ——— .
