Mrs. John McCormick, chairman of the Alaska Crippled Children’s Association is handling the Lake George Ball tickets in this area, and tickets are on sale in down town spots. Mrs. McCormick has furnished this information about the famous Lake George break-up: Lake George and its phenonemal action of self-dumping, each year around the first of August is one of the world's great wonders. Lake George is a body of water 16 miles long, 5 miles wide and over 200 feet deep, trapped in the glacial rezions of the Chugach mountain range, northeast of An- chorage. The giant Knik Glacier, moving over 100 feet each year runs directly into a mountain of solid rock 6,000 feet high. It acts like a tremendous dam sealing off a huge natural bowl. This bowl is filled every year with water from melting snow,and glacier ice. The trapped water be- gins to eat at the ice of Knik Glacier where its 300 foot face presses against the rock mountain, and slowly tears through seven miles of ice. Then the waters of Lake George begin to dump through the channel, tearing away 600 foot slaks of the great glacier face. 3 The din and roar can be heard fcKiney | and MIs. W. A.

WATER-SKIERS, AQUAPLANERS GET READY FOR FOURTH For the last three evenings the crowds have lined the rails of the Douglas Bridge watching the water- skiers and aquaplaners run through practices. Thrills, spills and chills awaited the dauntless souls who performed their stuff in the chopvy waters in front of the small boat harbor. Although practices are generally peing held north of the brid sev- I made the run to the Alaska Dock where the actual show will al speedboats are participats; ing, but the big thrills occur when the 40 mile per hour speed is at- tained behind the boat of Kibby and Bonnett. According to Jo McLean, a special act is being planned with some dif- ficult maneuvering, which should offer even more spectacular thrills for the audience than the boat races.
