4Not Lumbago Weather Yet,’ Says
Old-Time Forecaster for Ice Classic
By D. F. TUCKER
Manager, Ice Classic
NENANA, Mar. 27—The days!
are longer and the fun and ex-j
citement are higher at Nenana, j
and this can mean only one thing '
—spring is somewhere.
I am a little late in getting this
on-the-spot report of ice condi
tions at Nenana, but I though I
had some inside information. I
might as well let you in on it also.
I know an old-timer who tells
me that he gets a touch of lum
bago about five to six weeks be
fore the ice goes out. Well, the
old boy is still out chopping wood.
Four or five days ago I had a
wonderfully written report of the
nice warm weather, sunshine and
melting Snow. I went to work one
morning and it was 26 below zero
again. The last couple of days
have been warm, but not enough
to melt any snow or ice.
Have talked with a couple of
different pilots and they report
that there are a few open spots
on the Tanana River four or five
miles above Nenana. The ice
thickness has increased to 32
inches and the snow has melted
some on top of the ice.
The tripod has been erected
and given one coat of black paint,

but cold weather set in again and
have been unable to finish paint
ing. The clock, that all-important
fixture of the Nenana ice breakup,
is being forwarded to a jeweler in
Fairbanks for its annual checkup.
In a way, people living here at
Nenana hate to see the ice leave,
as it provides the only means of
crossing the Tanana River to let
us travel the Nenana-Fairbanks
road.
As most of you know, the Ne
nana Ice Classic closes midnight
April 6th. Will keep you posted
as to conditions here at Nenana.
New Drug Flown
From East Tried
As Last Resort
ANCHORAGE, Uf)—A 400-mile
mission of mercy ended here
Wednesday when a drug so new
it is not yet on the market was
administered to a critically ill
month-old boy stricken with men
ingitis.
Capt. L. E. Ainger, head pedia
trician at Elmendorf Air Force
Base here, read about the drug,
fungizone, in a professional jour
nal and decided to try it as a last
resort in an effort to save little
Ronald Stenerson.
The E. R. Squiob Co. in New
Jersey agreed to the request and
sped the drug on its way.
