Lake Is Named
“Mission Lake,” the name used
in describing the lake which is
situated almost two miles north
east of Kodiak on Mission Road,
became its official nomenclature
this week, when it was adopted by
the Domestic Names Committee of
the Board of Geographic Names,
U. S. States, Department of the
Interior.
In a letter received by William
Stone, Superintendent of the Ko
diak Baptist Mission, from J. O.
Kilmartin, Executive Secretary of
the Board, Mr. Kilmartin stated
the name was approved July 15.
He said it will read on the Decision
List as follows:
Mission Lake: lake about 0.2
mile across, on Kodiak Island
about 1.8 miles northeast of Ko
diak; named for the Kodiak Baptist
Mission for neglected and indigent
Alaskan children, which is located
on this lake; Alaska; 57 degrees
48’ 08” N., 152 degrees 21’ 45” W.

KNUDSEN’S — Where All Kodiak Shops
Labor Secretary
Contrasts U. S.
Sovi^t Manpower
WA; JINGTON — Under Secre
tary of Labor James T. O’Connell
said the Soviet Union now uses a
labor force of 105 million to
“carry” an additional 109 million
members of its population, while
the United States uses a labor
force of only 73 million to carry
107 million nonworkers.
“Of particular interest in our
comparative manpower struc
tures,” Mr. O’Connell said, “is the
fact that almost all of the gap in
size between the two labor forces
can be accounted for by the use of
Russian women.” He cited statistics
showing that women represent 85
per cent of the Soviet work force
in the health field. 66 per cent in
trade, 63 per cent in education, 62
per cent in communications, and
57 per cent in agriculture.
Mr. O’Connell pointed out that
a major manpower problem to be
shared by both countries in the
next decade seems certain to be
one of effective utilization of large
numbers of youth first coming of
working age.
Explaining that in the U. S. S. R.
“working age” begins at 15 while
it is more often about 18 in the
U. S., he noted that both countries
show a changing pattern in the
relative availability of this man
power source.
“In 1950 the rate of availability
of new young workers in the
U. S. S. R. was roughly twice that
of our crop,” the under secretary
said. “But today we see their 1960
total something like 300,000 below
ours. The pattern is again going to
undergo change, however, because
birth rates in the U. S. S. R. rose
dramatically after the ravages of
World War II had ended. By about
1962 we are going to pull even at
a rate of around 2.8 million new
workers for the year, and by 1970
the Soviets will again be outnum
bering us by about 5 to 4.”
“It is in this area of the man
power challenge, and in this dec
ade ahead,” Mr. O’Connell observ
ed, “that much of what will be the
future economic strength of the
the cars you

two nations will be determined.
For us, the meaning should be
clear. It spells out in terms of more
and better education for our young
sters, of higher numbers of them
engaged in training for the devel
opment of a productive skill, and
—above all—in terms of an all-out
attack on the appalling national
problem of the school dropout.”
