Self-Dumping Lake
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) ?
Lake George, the unique self
dumping lake, has done it again.
The annual emptying of the
picturesque Chugach Mountains
lake is a phenomenon of the ice.
It is sealed with a barrier of ice
each winter. As summer brings
the big thaw, the barrier weakens
gradually under the pressure of
the mounting 26 mile long, 4 mile
wide reservoir.
The flows builds to riven pro
portions, ripping out chunks of
weakened ice the size of a small
house and tossing them along in
the torrent down a mountain
gorge.
The flows build to river pro
ly a month ahead of last year, due
to the warm summer. The runoff
raised the Knik and Matanuska
rivers five feet and the rush of
debris and ice threatened bridges
and trestles. The lake is 50 miles
north of Anchorage.

keep the invaders frightened a

Children Saving Pennies For Library Building Fund
The children of Haywood County
are perhaps more concerned than
are their elders about the future
of the Haywood County Public Li
brary. A good many lollipops and
ice cream cones this past summer
have been passed up in favor of
"buying a brick" for a new library
I
: building.
On July 2 Librarian Margaret
Johnston put up one brick in a dis
play rack built by Haywood Build
ers Supply. A simple sign said,
"Wanted?a new library. Bricks 4
cents." Since that time Miss Johns
ton has deposited $70 in her gift
fund.
Some out-of-town visitor* have
shown i heir appreciation of the li
brary's service by donations and
people from all over the county
have dropped in their spare change,
but it is the children who proudly
inarch in clutching four, or eight,
or twelve pennies and proclaim,
"This is for another brick."
Proceeds from sale of duplicate
gift books and from flower prints
help to swell the fund.
At four cents a brick, the chll- s
dren have a long way to go to reach c
their desired library, but they and -j
their parents can hope that con- j
certed action by civic and govern- a
mental groups will put the building ^
"over the to/'^-and the top over
the building. r
