HEy> KIDS, ,STny OFF THAT ICE

How come, when there's good thick ice the lake and a good surface forming on the city ice rink, that some of seldovia's youn- ger set feel incl ined to go skating on the distinctly hazardous surface of the salt wa ter lake at the head of tho slough?
 Granted, there's a certain thrill to skimmtng along on bonding ice, but how do you know you're always going to keep ahead of the hole that breaks just behind your skates? The fact that two of Seldoviais boys got d2mking at that lake just last week proves that you don't always come out ahead.
 Those two got nothing than a dip into ice-co1d salt water. The next one may not be so luckt."c And anyway the thrill you5 get out of skating on thin ice is hardly worth the shock you give the folks at home when you arrive dripping Oh the front door, step.
 Let's do our skating in little safer after this.

Street Name
Is Retained
Meadow Revision
Not Practical

Practical difficulties make 1t UNI
likely that the Commission would
ask the Board OF Aldermen to
change the name Of that part OF
Meadow street west and north OF
Bank street, to South Willow street,
Theodore Scott-Smith, engineer for
the City Plan Commission said,
yesterday.
A large amount Of work for the
Engineering Department would re-
suit from such a change, as revi-
sions would have TO be made on a
large number Of plans and draw
ings Of the street. Years ago that
part of Meadow street was called
South Willow and willow street,
was called North Willow street.
Meadow street begins at Its north
junction with West Main street, OPP
poSite Willow street, runs south for
several blocks before curving east
and then running straight east
across Bank street, and turning
slightly north to meet South Main
street.
Many residents have suggested
the name be changed because Of the
confusion caused by the peculiar
curving OF the street and the two
prominent offsets. One is where
it crosses Bank street. The section
Of the street east Of Bank street.
Is considerably north Of that west
Of Bank street. The other is
where it passes the north end OF
Benedict street. Here there is a
decided cJrv, first to the south
where 1t passes what was formerly
a watering trough and then curves
slightly to the north.
