call for driving piling in Gibson Cove to establish a small boat harbor facility there. Capt. J_D. Fulp said the Navy had no objections. They figure they may need 2 or 3 more pile drivers for construction work this summer.

on Women's Bay. The steamship will now use Marginal Dock for off-loading.
INSURANCE PEOPLE
Mayor Pete Deveau has advised that two underwriter representatives are expected to
arrive today and another one tomorrow.
TV HUMOR?
An announcement on last night's TV program stated: "Families are asked not to use
electric dryers unless they have small children." Guess that's cause the big child-ren
won't fit in them or don't know how to operate the dryers. Seriously...the rea-son
for not using the dryers is that they draw so much electricity which is dearly needed
and must be conserved wherever possible now.
REFUGEE BOAT
Skipper Neal Von Scheeles Shuyak rescued forty survivors from Old Kaguayak Saturday.
Only one house was left there. They also picked up six at Old Harbor. Neal said his
uncle, Skipper Herman Von Scheele, picked up Eddie and Annie Pestrikoff from Shear-water
Bay. They raced up the mountainside and escaped the tidal wave which swept the cannery
away. Assisting Neal were George Gadder and Rodney Saxton.
