1000-YEAR-OLD ICE
IS HARD, CLEAR HIT
AT POACHERS DINNER
The Elks’ “Poachers Dinner’
Saturday night was a big success
and the concurrent serving of twc
uniquely Alaskan delicacies was
hailed as the beginning of an an
nual custom to be observed hence
forth at Lake George Break-up
time.
The first delicacy—salt water
salmon—was on the bill of fare,
but the second was a surprise:
one-thousand-year-old ice from
the glaciers feeding into Lake
George. The Elks’ secretary.
Clair Stock, had fished out a cake
of the ancient ice as it came
floating down Knik River. Its
glass-like purity and its hardness
made it the superior of all other
ice. Actually, it was the quintes
sence of ice—an ice long used to
its solid state and stubbornly re
sisting the change to another
Used to cool refreshing beverag
es, the ice long outlasted the
waters that threatened it. Some
of the guests took their ice au
naturel, without a coke or 7-Up
chaser.
Many thought the thousand
year-old ice should have commer
cial possibilities locally, but even
though these are not exploited the
ancient treat will be offered an
nually to Palmer Elks and their
guests.

i Have you noticed the new long
! er torso line, with the dropped
'waistline? The French dress de
i signers started it with the middy
blouse silhouette then American
designers picked up but retained
the slim-waist look.
All this is reflected in the new
look in slips with the long fitted
bodice, and full flared or gather
ed skirt, as well as the usual fitted
lace trimmed or tailored styles.
Nylon is still the most-for-your
money—in slips, bras, panties,
gowns and pajamas- Come in and
see yourself in Luxite—it’s luxuri
ous looking and easy on the bud
get.

Following Accident
Stanley F. R. Horton, 21, plead
ed guilty to a charge of driving
under the influence of intoxicat
ing liquor on August 9, and was
fined $125 and had his driver’s
license revoked for one year when
he appeared before U. S. Commis
sioner Dorothy B. Saxton August
11, on a complaint signed by the
Highway Patrol.
The complaint was the after
math of an accident August 9
when Horton, driving a 1949
Dodge power wagon, property of
the Division of Forestry, caused
an estimated $1500 damage to
the truck when he rolled it over
near Farm Road.
A second complaint, signed by
Allen E. Klump of the Division
of Forestry, charged Horton with
driving a vehicle without owner’s j
(government) consent. This
charge was later dropped by mu
turl consent.
Horton is at present confined
in the Federal jail in Anchorage j
following his failure to pay the
3125 fine levied on the first I
charge.
