Local Club Seeks
Ski Affiliation
Negotiations are underway
whereby the ski club section of
the Peninsula Sportsmen's Club
may become affiliated with the
Pacific Northwest Ski Assoc., and
be given national rating. Purpose
of affiliation is so that local ski
ers may accumulate points in rac
ing categories and can compete
in official contests.
Classes are continuing each Sat
urday and Sunday on Soldotna
Ski Hill under mstruetorship of
George Ryden and Pat McElroy,
both of whom are currently home
itSadiog near Kasilof.
Ryden and McElroy formerly
were with the military ski team
at Port Richardson and in the Ski
Patrol at Sun Valley, Idaho, and
are well known in ski circles in
the Northwest.
The ski dub now has approxi
mately 40 adult and 20 junior
members. The hill reportedly has
a good slope and is equipped with
a 600-ft. rope tow.
President of the Peninsula Spts.
Club is Dick Monsen, Kenai. Other
officer’s are Jess Shelman, 'Soldot
na, vice president; Mrs. Betty
Harris, Route 2, Soldotna, secre
tary, End Stanley Me Lane, Ridge
way, treasurer.
Enthusiasm in skiing is gener
ally increasing and each Sunday
sees more spectators watching the
sport, club officials say. Many of
the skiers plan to go to Homer
to participate in the Winter Car
nival,
Natural Gas
Deliveries Show
Gain in Volume
As of thejirst of the year, na
tural gas'deliveries — commonly
measured in .cubic Teet per day—
have gained considerably, accord
ing to the Anchorage Natural Gas
Corp., which transports gas from
wells in the Kenai Peninsula.
Inauguration of Alaska’s first
civiPan consumer natural gas
service line took place in Soldotna
on July 16, 1961, the first day of
Soldotna’s Progress Days week
end celebration.
An Idea of the growth rate is
given by the record since the firm
started operations a few1 months
ago;
September—500,000 SCFD; Oc
tober—1,500,000 SCDF; Novem
ber—2,500,000 SCFD; current rate
—• 3,500,000 SCFD.
SCDF is a gas industry term
for “standard cubic feet of gas
per day.” One million cubic feet
of gas is roughly equivalent to
7500 gallons of heating oil.
Additional conversions contract
ed for completion will add approx
imately two million cubic feet per
day. It appears the conversion
rate is continuing to accelerate,
as more and more installing firms
are becoming mobilized to per
form installation work, the com
pany said.
Cost of residential conversion
work has become highly competi
tive, with one supplier advertis
ing conversion equipment as low
as $79.50, plus labor for install
ing. Hundreds of homeowners are
making their own installations.

Realty Outlook
For 1962 Good,
Says Local Broker
ivemu, ou capooi Ox AiasKa,
iy bound to continue rapid
growth,” says J. W. Thompson,
real estate broker, whose Kenai
.Realty was founded in 1964.
Real estate sales have reflected
the constant growth of the city
and have increased during each
year of operation, he added.
In 1362, with two salesmen as
sisting, Thompson expects h is
own business to handle more than
twice as many sales as were made
this past year. The firm recorded
26 sales in 1961.
“Unemployment is very low in
Kenai," says Thompson. “This is
due to so many industries and
varied sources of income— such
as two large canneries, a large
fishing fleet, many beach gillnet
ters, two refineries being built at
North Kenai, the pipeline .termin
al and dock, oil field workers,
Federal Aviation Agency, Fish &
Wildlife, civilian employees at the
army base and a school system
—second to none in Alaska.
“Within a short time, it is
expected that the Kenai River
will be bridged at Kenai, making
better access for families across
the liver. An all year dock to be
installed at Kenai is also contem
plated.
“Kenai has very few transients,
trailer and rental homes are
scarce here," he added.
In giving his resume of busi
ness for 1961 and outlook for ’62,
Thompson remarked that his firm
has exclusive listing of more than
200 lots in subdivisions in Kenai
upon which he expected many
would have pleasant homes built
upon them before the snow falls
in the autumn of 1962. Thus e
homes will be largely financed
by government loans, he said.
Assisting the broker in opera
tion of his business are Stanley
F. Thompson and Jerry D. Thomp
son, salesmen. They specilize in
listings from Kenai, North Kenai,
Sterling, Naptowne, Kasilof, Clam
Gulch and Ninllchik.
H. W. Jones of Soldotna, drill
ing foreman for Standard Oil Co.
of Calif., is now' senior pusher
for Standard’s drilling operations
in Alaska. He replaces Les Kin
sman, who has been transferred
to California.
