FLIGHTS CHARTERED
AS FISHIHG STARTS
IN LAKE LOUISE
► Heavy summer business from
fishermen, hunters and photog
raphers who want to fly into
beautiful Lake Louise, was fore
cast yesterday by L. L. Penning
ton, mile 147.
Pennington, who runs a charter
plane service from Snowshoe lake
to Lake Louise, was in Palmer
buying oil, gas and other supplies.
Coming to the Matanuka valley
before the colonists, he has been
flying since 1939 and has two
charter planes available. During
the war he flew the fire patrol
for two years over most of the
territory and beyond the Arctic
Circle.
“The fishermen are just start
ing to come in. After all, the ice
only went out a week ago”, he
said.
Most of his fishing parties are
local, he said, although some tour
ists are beginning to realize that
Lake Louise is one of the few
crystal clear, non-glacial lakes in
the area, and is noted for the big
mackerel caught there. Located
'on the watershed between Cop
per and Susitna rivers it is vir
tually inaccessible except by
plane.
Lodge facilities with 24-hour
service are available at Tazlina
Glacier lodge, mile 156, but with
the fishing rush already begin-;
ning, reservations should be made
by calling KWD 87, Pennington
said.
PALMERITES "GLAD
TO BE HOME"
“Home again” in Palmer are
Mr. and Mrs. Neil Miller and their
14-year-old son, Tim.
Miller, formerly on temporary i
assignment to the Veterans’ Ad- i
ministration at Juneau, was trans-!
ferred to the office of price sta
bilization in Anchorage, May 1.,
Said Mrs. Miller: “Were glad to
get back to our home near Pal
^mer, even if some commuting be
tween Anchorage and our home
site is necessary.” Their son
plans to enter Palmer high school
this fall. j
