Anchorage Housewife
Hits Closest On Lake
George Breakup
An uncanny premonition that
self dumping Lake George would
burst out of its ice dam early in
the morning of July 24 will bring
Mrs. Merle E. Simpson of Anchor
age a 50 per cent share of more
than $2,000 to be divided between
charity and the lucky guesser.
Don Knudsen, manager of the
McKinley Foundation, funds from
which accumulate for the Alaska
Crippled Children’s Association,
■said Mrs. Simpson guessed the
break-up time of Lake George at
4:30:07 a.m., July 24. Actually the
time as recorded on the clock at
Knik River bridge was 4:59:02

Workers on Secret Alaska
Job Threatening to Strike
(Anchorage News, July 30)
A serious work stoppage on a
vital “secret” project in northern
Alaska seemed imminent today
when all cooks and kitchen work
ers threatened to walk off the
job unless certain conditions were
met.
James Swan, representing the
Hotel and Restaurant Workers’
Local 878, said in Anchorage that
about a dozen workers had threat
ened to quit the vital military pro
ject unless conditions on the job
are improved.
Principal complaint on the part
of the workers is that the com
pany has failed to furnish trans
portation facilities to and from
the job, and that workers are
forced to pay their own plane fare
to the project.
The workers also protested lack
of medical and first aid facilities
on the project, Swan said. The
walkout affected only kitchen
workers, and it was not indicated
whether other workers on the
project would join the walkout if
it occurred.
Swan said an urgent message
had been sent to the headquarters
of the Gaasland Construction Com
pany in Bellingham advising the
company of the status of affairs
on the project.
About 200 men are employed on
the project, about which further
details are being withheld for se
curity reasons.
MMM HOSPITAL
Admitted to the hospital were
Carol Oxoxerac, Earl Scott, John
Freeland and Ann Okitkan.
Discharged, Ellen Slwooko and
child.
John Fern and Blanche O'Con
nor were married by the U. S.
Commissioner yesterday.
