.4.MILE BEACH CHOSEN
 AS SITE FOR #AIRPLANE .PULL-OUT RAMP HERE

Representative of the Territor- ial Aviation Department and the Civil Aeronautics Administration here this week have selected a site on Zimoyia Highway near the l. Mile post for the construction of a S75,000 pull-out ramp airplane facility, Felix Toner. engineer for the Territorial department. said be- fore his departure for Juneau yes terday.
 Approval for a facility here was recently given by the Alaska Aero nautics and Communications Com mission which governs the aviation department The work will be done under the federal airport aid act under which many airfields in the Territory have been built. Under the program. the federal govern ment defrays 75 per cent of the cost and the Territory 9 per cent.
 Here to look over sites and make a selection were Herman Porter. Territorial Director of Aviation; Jack Sherman of Ketchikan. mem Der of the Commission from the First Division; Leo W. Corners, CAA representative, and Engineer Toner. They were escorted around to various sites by City Council man Leonard T. Campbell, chair man of the eity's harbor Commit tee and Lew Williams, Jr.. of the Chamber of Commerce aviation 
 Four sites were given considera- tion, Toner reported. They were the back channel near Polk Point, the old city warehouse site on Front Street near the Redmen the. outside beach area near Shustak Point and the 4-Mile beach. The latter was finally sel- ected because it afforded ample room not only for the facility but for further expansion. Toner said.
 Tentative plans. the engineer ex- plained, call for approaches both ways to the ramp from Zimovia Strait; a roadway from the high way to the facility and the con of floats for berthing planes. Complete plans for the pro feet must be prepared and approved 1y February 1, Toner said. Con struction is expected to start in the spring. Funds for the work have been allotted.

VISITING WRANGELL IS COMING HOME" TOR "KUDELKA"

Attending the Diamond Jubilee dinner ol the local Presbyterian church was coming home" for "huuelka" - better known as Mrs. Alaska Young McChesney. Kudelka was the name given Mrs. McChes ney by the Wrangell Indians when she was small child and lived in lne slockade of Fort Wrangell She .s the daughter of S. Hall Young, who was pastor of the Wrangell Presbyterian missionary church from 1873 to 1SS6 and Wrangell was her DirLnplaee. Mrs. McGhes- Il was the thlrd white child born iii Mrangell = only because two sisters preceded her. Her older sis .. ter, now Mrs. B. k. Sanford of Ithaca, \. Y., was the first white child born here and in honor of the event Chief Shakes mother gave 5phe infant her own name Anukch. which, il is related, was something hat was seldom done. However, Dy bestowing the chiefs mothers lame upon the child, tiny Abbie ] oung also became the chiefs mother and Mrs. McChesney told of how the chief used to often drop in to the Young home to see how his infant mother" was doing.
 Mrs. McChesney can recall many interesting incidents during her early years in Wrangell where she lived the first six years of her life One was once when she and her sisters with some older Indian girls were picking berries outside the stockade and medicine man ap- preached along a nearby trail. The Indian girls, with t Il e Young sister, fled in terror and, hidden in the brush, dared not move q muscle until the medicine man was we'll out of range. Even his glance was supposed to put some ttrrible curse upon them, Mrs. McChesney recalled.
 S. Hall Young met Mrs. McChes- ney's mother in Sitka and brought 'her here as a bride. It was Mrs. Young, on her wedding trip here, Mrs. McChesney said, that named the Elephants Nose. When she first saw it she exclaimed that it Hook ied just like an elephants nose" - and the name stuck.
 Mrs. Young was school teacher in Sitka and was niece of the Rev. Lindsey of Portland. Oregon, who had sent Dr. Sheldon Jackson and Mrs. Amanda McFar- land to Wrangell to establish the first Presbyterian Church in Alas ka.
 Mrs. McChesney was born in the building that is now the Legion Dugout. At that time it was one of the log houses within the original stockaded fort. It was only fifteen years or so ago that it was moved to it's present location and it's log walls boarded over.
 While here Mrs. McChesney re- newed acquaintances with Walter Shadesty and Mrs. Tom Ukas, both of whom knew her as child. Three years ago Mrs. McChesney and her sister, Mrs. Sanford, visit ed here and saw Mrs. Tillie Tam, aree, who was Young's interpreter for years. Mrs. McChesney said at times when Mrs. Tamaree was not available, her older sister would act as interpreter as the Young children, who went to school with, ! and played with the Indian child ren soon learned the Thlinget lan- guage.
 Mrs. McChesney, who ROW lives
 in Juneau, is the widow of Robert (COntinued Next Colmmn)
