Gone fishing!
p. 94 · Read in the full issue
Saipan stevedores have got it made —at least 20 of them have.
A big problem has been a time lag between ships, giving spas modic employment only. It could be that the manager of the Saipan Stevedoring Co., Mr.
Alf Santos, has hit on a solu tion.
Recently, between ships, he rounded up 20 of his employees, lent them two boats and sug gested they go fishing. He offered to buy whatever they caught. In their first two days the men caught 900 lb of reef fish.
What they did not take home they sold to Mr. Santos.
Mr. Santos is not being a philanthropist. He intends to freeze the fish, and use it for meals when full gangs are work ing a ship.
