ICE 36 INCHES THICK
AT NENANA
NENANA—Ice conditions about
the same as last week. Weather a
little better. Ice about 35 inches
thick. From reports received the
ticket sales are^ larger than last
year. I have been talking with the
old timers and some of the natives
here, and they vary in guesses
from late April to first week in
May as their outlook, but as none
of them ever has won any of the
pools your guess is as good or bet
ter than theirs.
The wire from the tripod on
river will be strung on Sunday. It
has not been above freezing this
year yet but have more snow up
river than last year which should
make higher water at breakup, if
it does not go into the ground be
fore then. My guess is early in
May unless we have a sudden
change in weather.

Burglar Mistakes
Restaurant
VALDOSTA, Ga., (/P)—Because
he apparently couldn’t tell a police
station from a restaurant, John R.
Whittington, 35, of Macon, was in
jail today accused of a $7,250 bur
glary from a bank depository. ,
Whittington was identified by
police chief Wilbur Perkerson who
said his prisoner walked into the
police station with the money
after a taxi driver had said it was
a restaurant.
The police chief quoted Whit
tington as saying he placed planks
in the chute of the depository
vault at the First National Bank
and later returned to lift out the
bundles which had stopped in the
shaft.
