Cannery Operator
Guest Speaker
Frank McConaghy, cannery
operator, was guest speaker at
the Rotary club Tuesday, dis
cussing the local cannery and its
operation, especially in regards
to the local labor supply.
Of recent years, he said, the
undependability of the local la
bor supply has become an in
creasing problem. For this one
season, he said, the community
lost about $20,000 in money
that would have been spent for
additional labor and fish just for
the man hours that were lost un
necessarily
Tentative plans for the local
cannery include putting in a
high speed line and adding clam
canning, but this too depends,
he said on the local labor supply.
The cannery will operate the
fall season until October 30. if
weather permits fishing to that
date.
A round-table discussion fol
lowed Mr. McConagby’s ta'k,
in which labor supply and post
war possibilities were discussed.
Leif Norman, Parke Davis re
presentative, was a guest at the
luncheon.
Frederick Jenkins and Leonard
Campbell left Wednesday for the
Red River district at the south
ern end of Kodiak island to do
some exploratory work in con
nection with mining develop
ment.
