NENANA ICE POOL SEEKS
TO BREAK ALL PREVIOUS
RECORDS COMING SPRING

With a view to shattering all rec
ords, the Nenana Ice Pool sweep
stakes for the year 1928 was launch
ed in Nenana recently with the
election of manager and commit
tee. The pool will close at midnight
of April IA, some days earlier than
previously, in order to avoid eonfu-
sion in listing tickets in the event
of an early breakup.
An initial printing of 5000 tick
cts has been authorized, and plans
have been made for an early distri-
button throughout the participating
districts. Reports received by the
sweepstakes organization indicate
that interest in the pool will be
greater this year than last, when
peak mark was reached.
Tom Jones, proprietor of the Ne
mana Gardens, has been elected man
ager of the pool for 1928 Techni-
cally the pool will not differ from
that of last year. Tickets will be
listed as previously. the money will
be placed in trust as received and
recording devices will be handled
with the same scrupulous care. Only
committee members as a representa-
tive group will have access to the
chronometer and other devices.
Elections of manager and commit
tee are held each year in a general
meeting of the townspeople of Ne
mana after a duly advertised call.
The organization functions only af-
ter receiving the approval of the mu-
nicipal government
Tickets for the pool will probably
be placed on sale in Wrangell but
definite arrangements have not as
yet been made.

have weakened the MethodiStS, but
Coach Hughes is expecting little
difficulty with the Baptists.

the Tigtrs in shape for the game
