No Lake George
Breakup This Year
ANCHORAGE — There will
l>e no Lake George breakup this
year because there isn't any Lake
George, the U.S. Geological Sur
vey said today.
Lake George is usually formed
each spring when snow and ice
melts atop the Chugach Range. A
glacier forms one side of the lake.
This year the runoff tunnelled
under the glacier. The tunnels
have now fallen in and there is
an unobstructed flow of the water
down the gorge to the Knik River,
according to Marvin Slaughter of
the Geological Survey.
This is the first time in a
number of years that the lake
has not formed. The phenomenon
of the breakup, when the lake
finally pushes away the ice bar
rier and causes a great cascade of
water, is considered an annual
event.
The breakup usually raises the
level of the river and causes
flooding along the Palmer High
way near the river.

37,000 lbs. of Food Going
To Bristol Bay Villages
Hit By Poor Fish Runs
ANCHORAGE UP—Federal and
state officials, meeting here today
to consider plans for relief of Bris
til Bay area residents hard-hit by
failure of the salmon fishery, have
approved immediate shipment of
37,000 pounds of food supplies fo
six Lake lliamna villages.
A total of about 600 natives live
in the villages.
Governor Egan asked the sup
plies consist of general purpose
flour, corn meal, lard, rice and
dried powdered milk.
Joe Rothstein, assistant to Gov.
Egan, said the supplies are needed
by the villagers so they will not
have to take salmon from Lake
lliamna for subsistence.
The lake is one of the principal *
Bristol Bay spawning grounds —
but there was little escapement of
spawning fish into the lake this
year.
Rothstein said the supplies will
be flown to Lake lliamna by Air
National Guard and Civil Air Pat
rol aircraft as soon as weather
permits.
