The Employment Service office there' is interviewing between 100 and 150 new people each day of the week, and the office is able to place everyone willing to accept such cpenings as laborers with Birch- Johns Lytle, cost-plus-fixed-fee contractor, for their work at Fort Richardson. Hedges reports that satisfactory relationship have now been, estab- lished both in Anchorage and Fair- banks tween the Employment Service and this contractor. Hedges pointed out that ma- y of newcomers arriving in the Territory are not qualified for any of the openings which now exi The only unemployed now a at Anchorage are those who are| not able to find any type of hous- ing facilitics and those who are qualified for only laborer open- ings and unwilling to accept that type of work. He ed out that similar in other towns where there are a number of unemployed who are unwilling to accept laborer or un- skilled work.

Last weekend he got into a terrfic battle with a 20-pound king salmon Snuffy won, and the Paddock family had fresh fish for several days. Jack Johnson, elderly trapper who for many years operated a fox farm in Glacier Bay, has contract- ed to build a log cabin for John- nie and Ann Breeseman on Sunnyside. Johnnie and Ann just returned from Juneau with their baby girl, Shirley. Don White, who has just return- ed from Seattle, where he under- went a nasal operation, has leased his troller Nellie R. to Oscar Do- bers. When Art Sholan put his 50 by 16 foot float house up for sale about a year ago, Fred Wetche, then President of the local ILWU, suggested that the people of Peli- can buy the house and use it as a community hall. ‘The Union spearheaded the idea with a $500 donation. Later the Progressive Club sponsored the fund and gave $500. Filled with enthusiasm, Fred Weatche and Betty Edgecomb ram- paged throngh town and in a few hours returned with $600. ‘The house had to be paid off in a year, hence everyone pitched in with parties and dances to collect funds. Last week at a so- gathering, Progressive Club President Joe Paddock declared the community house debt free and publicly burned the mortgage. Since the purchase about $1,000 in improvements have been added, not to mention much donated work. This is indeed an accomplishment for a town with g steady popu- lation of only 150. ‘When the Captain o: i1ae aiaska crossing the Gulf southward bound last week he received a wire ordering him to Pelican City to pick up five carloads of froz- ien fish.
