KETCHIKAN—W. R. Lebo an '
George W. Burchard passed thru
Ketchikan on the last trip of th
North Const. They had traveled
all over Southeastern Alas':
and made contacts with the fi h
erman in Juneau, Sitka, Peters
burg. Wrangell and Ketchikan
for the purchasing of all fish liv
ers. Especially ling cod, black
cod and halibut livers. The Sal
mon By-Products plant in Ketchi
kan is prepared to run the whole
year around.
Mr. Puchard is a pioneer chem
ist in the vitamin field. He was
with Abbott Laboratories in 1929!
when the first production of hali-1
but liver oil was processed. He
was then sent to Seattle in 193"
to establish a p'ant jointly owned
by Abbott Company and Parke
Davis Company. Mr. Burchard.
seeing the possibilities in the!
higher vitamin field, started the;
Washington laboratories and dis-,
covered a process for the ex
traction of vitamin oils from fi-h
liver that rates high in A and D,
Mr. Lebo, who has been inter
ested many years in the waste
product of fish and interested in
the vitamin field, became interest
ed in Mr, Burchard’s process and
jointly they have a fully equip-1
ped plant in Ketchikan for pro-1
duct ion.
The vitamin industry in Amer
ica is a two-million dollar in-1
dustry with 70 percent of it on
the West Coast. The latter part)
of last month and early this
month at one time in Seattle
buyers were offering 51 cents for
dogfish livers. The general aver;
age is 40 cents a pound, depend
ing on the districts the fish i
taken from. The chemists have
discovered that different areas
produce a higher content in vita
mins than others. The buyers ini
Seatle have marked off three
areas and the price for fish livers
is according to the areas.
The scavenger cod caught
around the docks rate low in the;
vitamin field, but the deeper the'
w-ater and the further North the!
fish are caught the theory is that
the richer the livers are in vita
m ns. Alaska should have a mar
velous future in this new field.
EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
TO RE ENTIRELY UNDER
NATIONAL SET-UP BY IEB. 1
Hugh. J. Wade, Territorial Dir
ector of the Social Security
Board, announced that centraliza
tion of the operations of the'
United States Employment Ser
vice in accordance with the Presi
dent’s order of December 19,
would be undertaken in the Terri j
tory at once.
Wade will begin negotiations I
with Territorial officials to ar-j
range for the transfer by Feb- j
ruary 1, of the personnel, reeords
and facilities of their respective
employment services to the Fed
eral Government. The federally-1
operated employment service j
will remain in the Social Secur-1
ity Board which, for the past.
few years has paid >a large pro-!
portion of the entire cost of
Territorial employment service
administration and assisted the
Territory, in carrying on its pro
grams.
Under the new set-up Wade
will head up the activities of the
U. S. Employment Service thru
out the Territory with Joseph
Flakne, Director of Alaska Ser
vice, reporting thru him to the1
U. S. Employment Service. Flak
ne was tendered and has accept- j
ed the position of Director of j
the “federalized” service in Al
aska. He was inducted into office
on January 1.
Wade emphasized that the pub
lie employment offices in each |
state will be staffed by present I
employmetn service personnel.
Every territorial employee who 1
is thus transferred to the U. S.
Employment Service will be put
on the Federal payroll at the
same salary and classification he
now has.
Pointing out that the unem
ployment compensation laws will
remain territorially-operated, the
director said that arrangements
will be made so that the federal
ly-operating public employment
offices, where unemployed work
ers claiming benefits are requir
ed to register and file their
claims, will continue to serve the
territorial agency administering
the unemployment compensation
laws.

Plans for increasing produc
tion of the Matanu ka Valley

ing of the Alaska Rural Rehabili
tatinn Corporation directors, in

Col. O. F. Ohlson, president of
the board, called the meeting

course of the colony under a war
time economy.
It was agreed that the corpor
atinn won d < ncourag:- the valley
farmer- to get crops on every
avai’ahle acre, to clear all pos
sih'e ground thi- wint; r. improve
pastures fr ea'tle, ke--p all pos
siH h- ling - , - dc that feed
will warrant.
F irmer.s will I i urged to re
move down timb.r fr >m the pas
tures, burn brush pi'es and carry
f irward other winter activity so
that more gr s- can grow and be
available for cattle.
Farmers Already Resrcnding
“Many farmers arc already re
=->circling splendidly to the need
for increased production,” Dr.
Herbert Hanson, general manag
er of the co'ony, told the board.
He cited instances where farmers
have already changed their plans
for next summer to provide for
an expanding production pro
gram.
Tose participating in the meet
ing were L. V. Ray of Seward,
secretary of the board, A. A.
Shonbeck. George Mumford and
