ALL ON THE JOB TOGETHER
Has Narrow Escape
Mike Kerr narrowly escaped
death July 25 when he fell over
board in rough weather while
fishing near Kukak. His partner,
A. A. “Beanie” Sumerlin, swung
the boat around, which had been
going full speed, and missed him
in the first try to reach him. On
the second attempt ‘‘Beanie”
caught a glimpse of Kerr uncon
scious under the water a few feet
«nd was successful in grabbing
hold of him.
Another boat came alongside
and helped get Kerr out of the
water and he was revived after
artificial resuscitation. He was
brought to Kodiak on the can
nery tender Bear and was hos
pitalized 2 days.

facturing plant.
Mr. Bosman said that REA
had earmarked funds for the
lockers and that the only thing
holding it up was the committ
ments and deposits locally,
which must be made before REA
will grant the funds.
The directors believed it would
be more feasible to start with 50
lockers and increase the number
as the demand warranted. It was
felt that bulk cold storage would
find many users, especially a*
mong stockmen and game hunt
ers, and that the demand here
would be even greater in the fut
ure.
It was pointed out that can
neries in the vicinity have in
creased their ice-making capac
ity and still cannot supply the
demand for ice by the fishing
fleets and that local industrial
and consumer use would provide
a growing year-round market.
A survey is being made this
week to determine the number of
local users who are interested in
bulk storage and to what a
mounts; a down payment is be
ing required of bulk storage us
ers as well as of those desiriDg
individual lockers. Fifteen so far
have made their committments
in advance for the latter and
others desiring this facility are
asked to see the secretary of the
KEA at once.
