WHAT TO DO TO WIN

Here's how you take part In this Zig opportunity! Every issue this newspaper will publish Alaskagrams in consecutive order, six each week for 12 weeks-a total of 72 Alaska grams.
 Each Alaskagram is a group of scrambled letters which form mean ingless words or nonsensical phrase. After an Alaskagram is unscrambled the letters form the game of a place in Alaska; how ever, there is one superfluous letter ,--an extra, additional letter which is not needed to form the word.

All you do is re-arrange the let ters to form single word which is the name of place in Alaska, and you also show which is the extra letter. For example, the phrase FOR A CHANGE" when it is un- scrambled equals ANCHORAGE" plus the extra letter F.
 Just remember that all place names consist of only one word and remember to show the extra letter. There is only one correct answer to each Alaskagram.

A FTER almost a century Of
IA neglect, historic Apo
mattox Is again in the lime
light. Here, on April 8, 1865,
Gen. Robert E. Lee surren-
dered his remnant OF the
Confederate Army, numbering
5000 men, to $4,000 men un-
der Gen. Ulysses S. Grant,
bringing to a close four years
of fratricidal war.
BY an act Of Congress In
1898, a fund was provided to
begin the work of establish
ing a national park and for
the restoration of the sleepy
Virginia village to appear as
nearly as possible as 1t did
that memorable day OF the
surrender. Fortunately, there
was available a complete plat
of the village, showing even
the fences and paths, and the
narrow red clay road over
which Lee rode to meet
Grant.
The old courthouse was
burned in 1892, after which
the county seat was moved
to new Appomattox, three
miles to the west. The
quaint brick building will be
rebuilt as part of the restora-
ton plan.
Several of the original
buildings remain standing.
though a temporary stabiliza-
ton program was necessary

APPomattox Rises Again

during World War II in order
to preserve these important
structures until work could
be resumed.
The famous Mclean house,
scene of the surrender, was
razed many years ago with
the idea of re-erecting 1t as
a war memorial in Washing
ton. The plan being aban-
doned. the materials were left
to disintegrate. Also. souve-
mir hunters added their bit
to the elimination process.
Recently. a lock from the
door of the surrender room
was presented to the restora-
ton, and two other locks In
a box were found imbedded
In the earth. These locks
we're made by an English firm.
When the Mclean house was
rebuilt, handmade bricks
were employed In order to
produce an authentic copy.
Though it Is impossible to OBJ
tain all of the original fur
niture. whatever is available
will be used.
The complete renovation of
the Bocock- Isabel house has
been, accomplished. 1t was
known to the superstitious-
minded as "the haunted
house" unded soldiers
were cared for In its spacious
rooms, and a colonel was bur
led in the front lawn.

The ancient Patteson- -Hix
Tavern is a three-story brick
building with annexes. Here
the stagecoach made a reg
ular stop on its trip from
Bristol. Tenn, to Richmond,
Va. Gen. Grant and a num-
Der of his staff stayed at the
tavern after the surrender.
A tall brick Jail with huge
locks and keys stands as a
grim reminder of other days,
when prisoners were some-
times chained to the floor.
The Appomattox River Is
spanned in the surrender area
by Memorial Bridge. in the
railings of which the design
of the Confederate flag has
been effectively used. Some
what recently, a young couple
chose 1t as the scene of their
marriage. deeming Appomat-
tox a suitable place to capitu-
late.
A thousand acres are in
cluded in the park. BY using
a dam at the ford of the river,
a lake of so acres will be
formed. Trees, shrubs and
flowers will delight the eyes
of visitors to this shrine.
Appomattox has become the
symbol Of a united Nation,
and when the work there is
completed, suitable ceremo-
MES will mark its formal dedi-
caCion. Mary Louise Gills.

 The same report stated that a stream to be called Ingram Creek has been named for R. C. Ingram, former resident engineer for the bureau of public roads in charge of road work in the Chugach Ma tional Forest for many years. The stream, formerly known locally as Quartz Creek, flows to the head of Turnagain Arm about 3 miles northwest of Portage.
 $ The official name of Quartz Creek has been given to the stream heading about 1 miles west of the railroad stop at Johnson and flowing northWeStWard about , miles, then sOuthWeStWard about 10 miles to the northwest end of Kenai Lake, about 12 miles west of Moose Pass.
 Lafayette College has a glacier named after it to be called Lafay- cite Glacier which flows from the height of land between College Fiord and Unakwik Inlet in the Chugach National Forest. The gla- cier is approximately 4 miles long and 1 mile wide.

In 1949 William Elmhirst Duckering was signally honored by the Board of Regents which bestowed upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Engineering.
 "The challenge of the Univers- ity of Alaska is the challenge of the frontier" Dr. Duckering re- marked. "We have pulled our selves up by our bootstraps, and the time is not far distant when the citizens of Alaska will see a fine, modern structure on College Hill"

WASHINGTON - Effective Mo- vember l of this year the air par eel post rates from the continen- tai United States to points in Alas lSa will be revised with the eighth zone rate applying between all points in the continental United States and Alaska, regardless of distance.
 The same rate will apply for parcels sent from Washington, D. C., to Anchorage, as for parcels sent from Washington to Seattle.
 'the post office department has stated that ''in the near future the department Will issue zone charts, zoning the Territory of Alaska with respect to the continental United States. This will place a number of points in Alaska in a lower zone with respect to certain parts of the United States, partic- ularly in southeast Alaska with respect to points in Washington and Oregon. The lower zones will aply to both surface and air par eel post and, in many instances, will result in lower postal charges
