ing has been delivered. The di
mensions of the building will be
60 ieet wide and 40 feet long.
Maj. Glenn Kipp, squadron com
mander, says the wo; k is being
done by volunteer labor and that
the squadron will welcome dona
tion of more labor by anyone who
has free time to assist with the
construction. It is hoped that the
sides of the building will be up
and the roof on by the last of
November, he said.
“Due to the shortage of funds,
the insulation, floors and other
interior work will have to wait
until a futuse year,” Kipp said.
"The main need now is to get the
Beaver under cover where it can
be heated and ready to go on
short notice.”
Kipp added that a little more
than $3000, cleared from the re
cent Kenai Days celebration to
date, has been presented to CAP
toward erection of the building.
A new floor of plywood and lin
oleum has recently been laid in
the squadron quonset hut, Kipp
said. The quonset is used for
meetings of CAP members and
training sessions for the local
Cadet Corps,

Growing Interest
Shown in Offshore
Oil Exploration
Nominations received from the
oil and gas industry for the sev
enth oil and gas leasing sale, to
he held in December, indicate in
teresting intentions with respect
to offshore oil and gas explora
tion—one more forward step in
the development of Alaska’s oil
and gas aesources, says Roscoe E.
Bell, director of the Division of
Lands, Anchorage.
Concentration is largely in the
offshore area of Icy Bay and Yak
utat Bay on the Gull' of Alaska,
Kachemak Bay and Upper Cook
Inlet. The Upper Cook Inlet nom
inations are especially interesting
because this area lies between
toe producing Kenai oil fields
and the area of high bids in the
Tyonek, from a sale held in July
of this vear.
The cheek©! board pattern of
nominations extends over much
of the Upper t ook Inlet area and,
at one point, entirely across Cook
Inlet. It suggests strongly an in
terest in an extensive program of
drilling some offshore sites; a
new development for Alaska. Be
cause the Upper Cook Inlet has
been subject to extensive seismic
programs by more than 10 com
panies, considerable competitive
interest may be shown.
The Oct. 10 sale of some 400
acres of land near the Marine
Oil Terminal on the Kenai Pen
insula also indicates the immed
iate interest by Standard Oil in
the construction of a refinery in
that area, Bell says.
