Load Restrictions
Due About April I
The Anchorage District of the
Bureau of Public Roads wishes
to remind all buyers, shippers,
truckers and other persons con
cerned that load and speed re
strictions will be in effect on the
Alaska road network on or about
April 1, 1957. These restrictions
are required in an effort to pro
tect the weakened roadbed and
roadway surface during the an
nual “Spring Break-up” period.
Restrictions normally consist
of a reduction of the gross axle
loading for all trucks and busses I
to as low as fifty percent of that
normally allowed and a reduc
tion in speed limit for all vehi
cles.
Restrictions are normally in
effect from three to six weeks de
pending on weather conditions.
Early announcement of the
above is being made at this time
to forewarn interested parties of
the pending load restrictions in
order that plans may be made for
hauling of commodities prior to
or after the break-up period and j
thus minimize the loss suffered j
in hauling of reduced loads.
FUR RENDEZVOUS
TO FEATURE
TOP PERFORMERS
There’s no business like show
business, and the 1957 Fur Ren
dezvous Varieties are scheduled
to present the most dazzling col
lection of dancers, entertainers
and musicians ever assembled in
Anchorage.'
The production follows a Ren
dezvous theme from a fur auction
in the street, a boy and girl ro
mance, the sultry glamour of a
’‘jungle drum’^ dancer in a night
club, Jthrough the beauty of a
winter wonderland of skating and
dog sled riding and the warmth
of a cheery lodge.
Climaxing the production will
be a fabulous coronation scene
when the 1957 Fur Rendezvous
Queen receives the traditional
crown of ivory, nuggets and fur
designed by native Alaskans.
All the color, art and imagina
tion of the entertainment world
is being employed to make this
one of the most spectacular shows ]
ever featured during the Rendez- j
voiis.

NURSES ASSOGIATION I
Phyllis Long of Palmer was .
named president of District 6, Al- i
aska Nurses Association at its c
annual meeting February 1. Oth- i
ers named to serve with her dur
ing the coming year were: Myr- !
tie Spencer, vice-president; Lil- <
lah Ubert, secretary; Eva Papez, <
treasurer; Gertrude Jurgeleit,
Lyla France, and Helen Maze,
board of directors. Jessie DeVries
is the fourth member of the board,
having been named to that posi
tion in January.
An annual report of the Asso
ciation’s activities during the past
year was given. It was noted that
members heard several interest
ing and informative speakers, in
cluding IMrs. John Burnett, child
psychologist; Max and Dorothy
Sherrod, early colonists; Maxine
Holtzclaw, physiotherapist with
the Alaska Department of Health
and Rev. Bert Rutan, minister of
the United Protestant Ghurch as
well as viewing professional
films dealing with cancer re
search.
During 1956, work was started
on three projects and will be con
tinued in 1957. The projects are:
The possible establishment of a
nurses aid training program for
aides employed at the local hos

eight-hour fee for private duty
nursing. The compilation of a re

In addition, the District works

recently heard a report on the re
vised Nursing Practice Act which
has been drawn up by the com
mittee on Legislation of the Al
aska Nurses Association to be
brought before the legislature
now in session. This act, if passed,
will protect and be of benefit to
all nurses practicing in Alaska.
District 6 members have cooper
ated in raising funds which help
to make such legislation possible.
The next regular meeting of
the group will be held February
14 at 8 p.m. in the Central School
cafeteria. Mrs. Catherine Gair,
Juneau, president of the Alaska
Nurses Association, will be pres
ent and has expressed a desire4
to meet and visit with all valley
nurses. Following a brief business

Nurses Association will be shown,
and there will be an informal
question and answer period. It is
hoped that all Valley nurses will
