CLASS 2 — Industries and Agriculture 2003 Code DABO The Salmon Run Fox Varieties Each year millions of salmon are spawned in the inland streams and rivers of Alaska. The small fish grow rapidly, swim down stream to the sea and then for three years disappear no man knows where. Then at the return of the spawning season, they come back in "runs" of millions, enter their native rivers and fight madly upstream to the spot from which they originally came, where they spawn and die. Here are some remarkable pictures of these frenzied salmon, not only swimming upstream, but actually up through and over waterfalls that would kill a man. It is while they are crowding in the rivers, fighting their way up to the spawning grounds, that they are caught and sent to the canneries, which are part of Alaska's greatest industries. An unusual and extremely interesting subject, which will add variety to any program and interest any audience. 685 feet standard length Rental $1.00 2004 Code DABU Thar She Blows Fox Varieties Whale hunting in Alaskan waters as done today. When the lookout in the turret yells 'White Water," we start in pursuit and succeed in harpooning one of the world's largest living creatures. After a struggle he is killed, made fast astern, and towed to port. Next we visit an Alaskan seal rookery, where the coast is alive with thousands of these interesting animals. In the nursery, crowds of the little seal pups view us with great interest, but we hurry on to our next objective — the reindeer. Here we get a new idea of the size of a real herd — thousands and thousands of reindeer tended by the native herdsmen. They are equally at home on the snowy plains or in the water, and at one time we see thousands being "swum" to new pastures. An unusually instructive and interesting subject, of photographic excellence and sure to please any audience. 745 feet standard length Rental $1.25 2005 Code DABAR My Lady's Stockings Fox Varieties Pity the poor silkworm ! He has a big job on his hands to make silk fast enough to keep my lady in stockings. Beginning with the feeding and growing of the worms in Japan, the successive operations in the production of hundreds of thousands of pairs of fine silk stockings are shown. What would life be without them? A subject of such general interest, popularly treated, will appeal to all audiences. 829 feet standard length Rental $1.25 For maximum enjoyment
