in Juneau as record numbers of
summer job-seekers poured from
school into the labor market, the

boys and girls 14 to 19 years of
age.

“We’ll move anything except
the capital.’’

Peak of Bristol Bay Red
Salmon Run Passes But
Catch is Still Increasing
ANCHORAGE. '/Pi—1The peak of
the big Bristol Bay red salmon
run has passed but salmon are
continuing to return to the bay
in large numbers and fishermen
in most areas are being allowed
almost unlimited fishing time.
Charles Meacham, Central Dis
trict Supervisor, reported from
King Salmon that approximately
9.000,000 fish have been caught in
Bristol Bay and there has been
an escapement into spawning
streams of some 8,000,000 salmon.
“The run is lessening in mag
nitude but the fishing is still
good,” Meacham said.
Personnel stationed in two tow
ers on the opposite sides of the
Kvichak River count fish passing
over white background panels
for 10 minutes of each hour and
in this way are able to make a
"very, very accurate” estimate
of escapement, Meacham ex
plained.
