Gakona Roy Sundt returned to A.M.U. after
a delightful vacation being Gakona's gas
man, storekeeper, garbage collector, rab
bit feeder, refrigerator inspector, painter
f and greenhouse waterer. He is already great
ly missed by all those who have now assumed
his tasks. His courses include political
science, literature, history, and psychology

brated his birthday and was wished well by
all.
Dept, of Commerce, Bureau of Reclamation, has
started additional surveys in Wood's Canyon,
about 12 miles below Chitina on the Copper
River. It is the second largest potential
power site in Alaska, Rampart being the first.
Fully developed, it would yield 1,200,000 KWH.
It would form a lake on the Copper River with
Copper Center being on its northern shore.
The flooding would force abandonment of Chit
ina and Lower Tonsina. Sixteen miles of the
Fdgerton Highway would be inundated.
