The greatest obstacle confronting cannery officials is the lack of ten- ders, scows and other floating |equipment taken over by the armed forces. Only a portion of such equip- ment is available for return to form- er owners,” Mr. Olson stated. Canneries to Operate Details of the number of canner- ies that will operate during the season in the various dis- tricts of Alaska, as released by Mr. Olson follow: In Southeast Alaska 30 canneries will operate as compared to 45 last year. The greatest number of clo- sures will occur in Ketchikan where | plans for consolidation indicate that five plants will remain inactive in addition to those at George Tnlet Union Bay, Rose Inlet and Noyes Island.

An early agreement of combined |salmon packing was reached in the Prince William Sound and Copper River areas. Where five or more| companies at Cordova previously | ¥ 1 competed for its share of the Cop-| i per River sockeye run in May and| June, one plant will now can the labor and equipment. Salmon can-l ning in Prince William Sound will| be carried on by five plants instead | of the ten previously operated. | No cannery closures are expected | in the Cook Inlet district. In the -Kodiak district, salmon previously delivered to the small canneries at Moser Bay, Uganik and Carmel will be packed at neighbor- ing plants. Plans provide for the operation of a total of eight can-| neries to be operated at Uyak, Port : Williams, Ouzinkie, Kodiak, Shear- water, Port Bailey, Uganik and Alifak. On the south side of the Alaska Peninsula canneries will be in op- eration at Chignik, Squaw Harbor, King Cove and False Pass.. On-the north side of the Peninsula three companies will combine their. in- terests in the operation of one plant at Port Moller.

The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country, but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily i conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheaply we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated. 7 Thomas Paine in “The Crisis”—1777 ./guy ///m War Bonds | H
