R« Rickey jSpeaks
To Rotary Group
Rotary Club attended its
regular weekly meeting at the
Island Fountain on Tuesday,
December V, and the plans for
the annual Christmas Par y
were discussed. As in years
past the childrens’ party will
be held at the Grpheum Thea-|
tre with Santa Claus giving
the filled stockings to all tne
youngsters at the party.
Oscar Hansen gave a talk
m his Rotary Classification;
i which is Kental Agent.
Koy Rickey of the Depart
ment of Fi.-hcr.es for Alaska
gave a very interesting talk
with illustrated slides on the
salmon propagation in and
around Kodiak. One of the
most interesting parts of his
lecture was on Pauls Lake on
Afognak Island and the con
struction of the ladders, al
lowing the salmon which were
planted in Paul’s Lake to re
turn to the Lake to spawn.
The outlet from the Lake is a
steep fall which the fish could
not climb to Return to the
place of their birth, and now
those salmon are returning
through the use of the recent
ly constructed ladders, for the
first time, "it looks vtry en
couraging,” were Rickey’s
words on the increase of sal
mon at Paul’s Lake.
Another interesting point in
Rickey’s talk was the possi
bility of Frazer Lake develop
ing into one of the greatest
salmon producing lakes in this
area. He has been making a
preliminary survey and by
planting the salmon eggs in
the Lake gives it unlimited
possibilities.
Visitors at the meeting were
George Kappos, Robert Daw
son Captain Helmick, DSN;
I Crank Meek of the Bureau of
Land Management, Roy Rick
ey and Captain Ross, replace
! ment for Captain Major at the
'local AGS Station here in
