manship to obtain his goals. He was a
dealer in "human trust and confidence",
trading one for the other without guaran- !
tee of delivery. His abilities appeared
to be superhuman, while accomplishments
did not appear!
His distortion of the truth was so
severe that it defeated his purposes. That
is, he couldn't remember to whom he told
what! Oddly enough, the tower at Joe’s
professed University held these word’s
inscribed for all to read:

PRESS RELEASE Jy 17, 1962
Alaska State Highways maintenance
crews have had their hands full the past few
months in a battle with some of the high
est water run-offs in many years. Opening
winter-closed roads was still going on
when the runOff began and continue at even
this, late date^ State Maintenance Engineer.

Sara E. Johnson stated.
A few areas of the state escaped this
high water but in general every section
had washed out shoulders, roadways or
bridges. Bridges had to.be built where
culverts previously had been sufficient
to carry the run-off.
Many roads were closed for a few
hours to several weeks.• Our good neighbor
Canada, also had a share of difficulties
on its portion of the Alaska Highway where
the road was closed for a week.
In many instances maintenance men have
worked around the clock to keep the road
open for motorists, who at this time of
the year take to the road in increasing
numbers.
Fortunately, Johnson said, most of our
maintenance men are long time Alaskans who
keep a weather eye open for these emergen

power had been assigned to these anticipated
flood sections beforehand thereby reducing
the loss to the highways, shortening the
