A committee of four was nam
ed at the recent meeting of the
Matanuska Valley Sportsmen to
"ontinue work on obtaining an
access road to Long Lake. The
organization is attempting to se
cure easement through private
property into the popular lake
area.
Another committee is to be
named which will work with the
Land Commission and Fish and
Wildlife Service on picnic areas
in the Little Susitna section.
James Fry spoke to the group,"
using promiscuous shooting as his
subject. Holgar Larsen of the
FWS also spoke on this subject
in relation to Lake Lucille where
residents have been subjected to
careless shooting. It was point
ed out that territorial law pro
hibits the careless discharge of
firearms. In the discussion it was
brought out that it is not con
sidered adviseable to designate
Lake Lucille as a water fowl
refuge bacause of careless shoot
ing. It was felt that this would
set a presidence and that many
residents living on or near lakes
would seek the same means of
protection from hunters.
A committee consisting of Noel
Woods, Homer Hayes, and Ralph
Crowthers was appointed to
work with other area committees
to study proposed land withdraw
als in the Lake George area that
may be used for recreational pur
poses. *
Entertainment at the meeting
included the showing of a Stan

CAA Identifies Aircraft
Httmning Lights as Aid
Ta Moon Watchers
With satellites passing over
head on regular schedule, it ap
pears that “moon-watching.” is
about to become a popular pas
time.
The Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration, U. S. Department of
Coftunerce, reports an increased
number of inquiries concerning
“those lights in the sky.” It ap
pears that aircraft running lights,
at high altitudes, sometimes raise
false hopes in “moon-watching”'
circles.
As an assist to moon watchers*
the CAA offers the following in
formation on aircraft running
lights:
Following the custom of the
ships at sea, every aircraft car
ries a red light on the left (port)
wing tip and a green light on the
right (starboard) wing tip. On
the tail a red and white are
shown. The red light is an addi
tion to the customary white stern:
light of ships.
. On some aircraft these lights
flash in sequence, on others they
do not. The CAA added that
many aircraft are now being
equipped with a rotating red
light mounted on the fuselage
top and bottom or on the tip of
the tail.
