Crab Flown
To States
The Island Seafoods Com
pany shipped 11,000 pounds of
fresh frozen crab to Seattle
Monday aboard an Arctic
Pacific Airline plane, Pete
DeVeau, partner in the com
pany, said yesterday.
Earlier the company hadj
announced that it might be
forced to curtail operations
because it could not obtain
transportation for its product.
DeVeau said last week that
peamission for the airline to
land at the local naval station -
had not been approved by ]
Naval headquarters in Wash
--
ington, U. C.
Between six and eight
thousand pounds of the sea
food was scheduled to be
shipped last night aboard
another Arctic-Pacific plane,
DeVeau said.1
“Apparently Washington
okayed the airline to land
here,” DeVeau said.
Corporal Henry J. Sack,
stationed here for the past
three years with the ACS,
left recently to attend the
ACS school at Seattle.
Cpl. Sack will take a six
weeks course in advanced
electricity and is expected to
return to Kodiak.
