LAKE GEORGE BALL WILL RAISE MONEY
 FOR AID OF ACCA

From Alaska Crippled Children headquarters in Anchorage comes the story about Mckinley Founda- ten. The two members of the foundation are Don c. Knudsen and Mrs. Marshall Hoppin, president of acquire money for charity, and the the ACCA.
 Object of the foundation is to Alaska Crippled Children's Associa- ton is one of the organizations the foundation sponsors.
 A project of the Mckinley Foundation is the Lake George Ball. designed to raise money for the ACCA.
 Tickets to the ball include the opportunity, to guess the time of the breakup of Lake George at the Knik River Bridge. Half the proceeds will be returned for the ACCA.
 Attendance at the Lake George Ball. which will be in Anchorage in August, is not necessary to qualify for the award. The distrl- button and check of all tickets will be under the supervision of the Me Kinley Foundation, Inc.
 Mrs. John Mccormick, chairman of the Alaska Crippled Children's Association is handling the Lake George Ball tickets in this area, and tickets are on sale in down town spots.
 Mrs. Mccormick has furnished this information about the famous Lake George breakup:
 Lake George and it's phenomenal action of self lf-dumping. each year around the first of August is one Of the worlds great wonders.
 Lake George is body of water l6 miles long, 5 miles wide and over 200 feet deep, trapped in the glacial regions of the Chugach mountain range, northeast of An chorage.
 The giant Knik Glacier, moving over 100 feet each year runs directly into a mountain of solid rock 5000 feet high. It acts like a tremendous dam sealing off huge natural bowl. This bowl is filled every year with water from melting snow and glacier ice. The trapped water be- gins to eat at the ice of .knlk Glacier where its 300 foot face presses against the rock mountain, and slowly tears through seven miles of ice. Then the waters Of Lake George begin to dump through the channel, tearing away 600 foot slahs of the great glacier face.
 The din and roar can be heard fir miles. Ice is carried to the sea 60 miles away in August.
 The spectacular display of grea. icebergs rolling and tumbling through the channel continues foi three weeks to produce one of the truly great natural wonders of the world.
 This is the Lake George break up that is more exciting than Nenana," Mrs. Mccormick said.
 The Alaska Crippled Children's Association is counting on the Lake George Ball becoming one of Alas ka's interesting annual events, she said.

FROM CAMP
MEETINGS TO
SHOW BUSINESS

From camp meetings in Nor
folk, Virginia, to the fabulous
world of show business tht,
putting it succinctly, is the story
of the Golden Gate Quartet which
comes to the Dade County Audi
torium on Friday, October S.
Anyone who has ever attended
conclave of colored congrega-
tions in the South will bear wit
ness to the ambient that invests
the assemblage once the preacher
starts narrating a tale from the
Old Testament. AS he intones his
story, his listeners provide rich
mournful blending of harmonies
that has become so characteristic
of American folklore.
The foregoing presents a gener-
al idea of the manner in which the
Golden Gate Quartet performs.
With vivid memories of camp
meetings to draw on for material,
the boys employ the preacher
narrator, Bible-story devices they
knew so well, thereby recreating
on small scale the things they
saw and heard when they were
youths in Virginia. Since the four
young men have spring-boarded
their way to almost overnight
stage, screen and radio fame, it
may be assumed that this tech
nique marks a new trend in vocal
circles of show business.
The group is being sponsored
by the popular Young Business
Mems Club. Places selling tickets
to the concert will be announced
next week.
