NENANA ICE
BREAKUP IS
PUZZLER
NENANA — Ice breaking ex
perts interested in the probable
date the big breakup will come
here this spring are puzzled be
cause of the extremely mild wea
ther prevalent throughout the
Nor*h this winter. Conditions have
been in sharp contrast to those of
a year ago, when the severest
winter of many years was record
ed.
The snowfall also has been
light, raising the question of vol
ume of water to be ♦aken into
consideration when it comes time
I to push out the ice.
Nenana Election
On January 15 residents of
! Nenana elected officers for the
annual “Ice Classic” congest,
which will close April 8. Michael
J. Cooney was elected manager,
without opposition. Chosen for
♦he committee are George Adams,
Tom A. Jones, Lesser Corliss.
George Hilary and Charles Greiss.
George A. (Sure-shot) Kennedy,
veteran hockey star of the Noi'h,
looks after the records.
Reports from mail over the In
terior indicate that mild winter
is common 'o all districts. The
large rivers closed exceptionally
la'e ; ’ I o ?en water prevailed on
many streams long after the usual
d ■> of closing
The Yukon River closed at
D«.vu . o.i November 30 last year,
au Jiira hoes* date on record.
The record date was in 1942 when
Ihe liver closed on December 18,
ii. . 38 was second on December
4.
‘ ; Fairbanks the December

d r H above normal, the warm
est since 1939, according to +he

and as low as -59.
Reports from all parts of the
Northland, even as far distant as
the Canadian prairie provinces
and northern sta'es reveal a mild
winter with little snowfall, giv
ing worry not only to miners and
river transportation men of this
region but also to farmers over a
vast area as to the next season's
water supply essential to their
purposes—as well as concern to
the local crystal gazers as to the
date of the grand annual ice
break-up on the Yukon and the
Tanana.
