Kodtak Active
Catholic Parish
The Rev. Joseph T. Walsh,
first resident Catholic priest in
Kodiak, conducted Catholic ser
vices last Sunday at the Or
pheum theatre following his ar
rival from Anchorage late last
week. The services will be con
tinued every Sunday at the
same location, it was announced
this week.
Father Walsh, who is auxiliary
chaplain for the armed forces of
the Alaska area, came originally
from Montana and has been as
sistant to Father Dermot O’
Flanagan in Anchorage since
April with residence at the Prov
idence hospital.
His appointment as first resi
dent Catholic priest here, and
establishment of the active par
ish, was made by Most Rev. Jos
eph R. Crimont, S.J., D. D.,
Bishop of Alaska, at Juneau.
An ealier step toward estab
lishment of a Catholic church in
this city was the purchase in
1940 of two lots in the Erskine
addition, on Mill Bay road, as a
future building site. The pur
chase, as announced ai
time, was made with funds con*
tributed by Bing Crosby, the
famed singer.
Shark Share Set
A 33 and one-third boat and
net share to the owners is to be
included in this year’s bargain
ing agreement for net fishing of
sharks, according to a diiective
of the 12th Regional War Labor
Board involving the Fishing Ves
sel Owners association of Seattle,
the Deepsea Fishermen’s Union
of the Pacific and the Interna
tional Fisherman and Allied
Workmen of America, CIO.
Net fishing for sharks began
in 1941 as the result of a com
mercial demand for shark livers
which contain a high vitamin A
content. According to inform
ation received by the board this
is the only shark fishery of its
size in the world and emanates
from Puget Sound. The fishing
extends from San Francisco up
to the Bering Sea and at the
height of the season approxim
ately 2000 fishermen are engaged
and at normal times, 700.
Former Student
At Pacific Base
Enroute to a Pacific Base—
Marine Corporal Louis Reebs,
formerly of Kodiak, is beginning
to dream of the frozen shores of
Alaska now that he’s heading
for warmer climes.
“I like the colder weather,”
said the tall, 18-year-old son of
Arthur Reebs, of Anchorage,
Alaska. “But all the fighting is
in the warmer paits, and that’s
where I belong right now.
Corporal Reebs was promoted
to that rank before boarding
this transport.
A marine since November,
1943, Louis, with his brother
Fred, attended school in Kodiak
where his father was employed
as a carpenter and painter. He
started high school at Kodiak
but was graduated from Seward
High school.
Death was recorded this week
at the U. S. Commissioner's off
ice of Mrs. Katherine Christen
sen Ambrosia, 21, at Karluk on
August 13, from tuberculosis.
She is survived by her husband,
Carpa Ambrosia.
