Juneau More Jobs for Alaskans IT’S A FACT that the Canned Salmon Industry provides more jobs for Alaskans during the fishing season than any other industry does. It’s also a fact that the packers hang out the “Help Wanted” sign at othér tines of the year. Each fall and spring, hundreds of men are employed in the maintensnce of canneries and other equipment; furnishing construction and box shook materials, wire netting, supplies the Industry needs to operate. That’s why good times for the Salmon Industry mean good times thronghout Alaska. Daily Crossword Puzzle ACROSS .
