May Name Lake
On Kenai .
“Whisper Lake'
(OP) Special Washington Service'
WASHINGTON, (/P) — There’s
a lake on the Kenai peninsula in
Alaska. Twelve miles east of Ke
nai village it is, and five miles
west of the joining of the Moose
and Kenai rivers.
It’s not much of a lake for size
—a third of a mile wide, less than
a mile long—but it’s a beauty.
There’s a war veteran named
Dewey Magee, Jr., developing a j
homestead beside that lake. He is
building slowly, the way you
have to in Alaska’s wilderness,
with aid available to him under
the G. I. bill of rights.
Theres’ one thing wrong with
the lake, says Magee. It has no
name.
He wrote to the board on geo
graphic names:
“I have talked to nearby home
steaders and we have agreed on
the name of Whisper Lake. Could
you advise us how this can be [
made official?
“Although my homestead is the !
first and only one on the lake
there are others near and we are
interested in having our beauti
ful landmarks on or near our fu
ture homesites named appropri
ately.”
The geographers on the board
take a hard-boiled attitude toward
those who would gratify personal
vanity by attaching their own
names to places.
At the same time they can get
fairly sentimental about young
pioneers who want to help find
suitable names for the nation’s re
maining un-named beauty spots.
Magee shouldn’t have too many
weeks to wait before that name,
Whisper Lake, becomes official.
NOTICE TO ALL TEEN-AGERS
There will be a short meeting
and election of officers this Sat
urday evening at 8:30 p.m., in the
American Legion hall. Following
the meeting there will be dancing
till 12:”.
Jane Scott,
Acting President.

Report of Floating
Russian Mines
Labeled False
SEATTLE, <>P) — A published
report that stray Russian mines
are endangering west coast ship
ping was denied yesterday by
U. S. navy and coast guard head
quarters.
The story, published by the
Vancouver, B. C., News-Herald,
was based “on reports from fish
ermen arriving here from the
west coast of Vancouver Island.”
The fishermen were quoted as
saying that the mines do not con
form with known types of Japan
ese mines “and are definitely
Russian weapons.”
The 13th naval district here
said that numerous reports of
Russian mines in northwest wa
ters have been received during
the last year, but all proved false.
