Preparations for the new sal
mon packing season have so far
proceeded more slowly than or
dinary owing to depressed mer
ket and uncertain outlook for
cheaper varieties. Packers with
ing in Pink salmon districts
generally have been ‘’sitting tight’*
and awaiting further develop
ments before definitely deciding
on their plans, limiting their ac
tivities to matters that must be
attended to far in advance of the
season; though it is expected that
arrangements for this year’s op
erations will be pretty well lined
up within the present month.
It is definitely known that pack
inging in Pink salmon districts
of Alaska will be on a greatly re
duced scale, with a good many
canneries closed down and others
outfitting in a smaller way than
for some years past; though no
detailed announcement 'can be
made at present regarding indi
vidual plants. Indications are that
joint operating arrangements will
be made between a considerable
number of canneries in various
localities, through which the pack
ing will be concentrated in the
plants best situated and equipped
for economical production, -and
that a great deal of gear which
cannot be counted on to pay for
itself wall not be operated.
In areas producing a prepon
derance of reds, however, prepar
ation are proceeding in the us
ual way.

LUCKIES are
always kind to
your throat
Everyone knows that sun
shine mellows—that’s why the
"TOASTING" process includes the use
of the Ultra Violet Rays. LUCKY STRIKE
— the finest cigarette you ever
smoked, made of the finest tobaccos
— the Cream of the Crop—THEN —
"ITS TOASTED." Everyone knows that
heat purifies and so "TOASTING"
that extra, secret process — removes
harmful irritants that cause throat
irritation and coughing.
The advice of your physician
is: Keep out of doors, in the
open air, breathe deeply; take
plenty of exercise in the mellow
sunshine, and have a periodic
check-up on the health of your
body.
