With the various campaigns
winding up, many statements are
being made. Some of them are
<being misinterpreted, as was
pointed out this week by Charles
Wilson, territorial conservationist
with the Soil Conservation Ser
vice. Wilson stated that a charge
| that “conservationists” are op
posed to Statehood is not correct.
^Professional conservationists
throughout Alaska are not oppos
ed to Statehood,” he said, “Wash
ington takes the position that it
is strictly a ‘local’ affair.” Wilson
referred to ap article in an An
chorage newspaper earlier this
week which told of two profes
sional conservationists from
Washington, D. C., who have
previously been anti-statehood,
who will be working on a pro
gram for the administration of
Alaska’s fish and game regula
tions.
All candidates have been strong
in their urgings that every elig
ible voter be sure and vote in
the election. Local polls will be
located in the Co-Op Rec Hall
and will be open from 8 a.m. to
8 p.m. No pre-registration is nec
essary.
The LT. S. Bureau of Roads es
timates that there are 37,000,000
pieces of insufficiently lighted
farm equipment in use today.
All of the fatalities and injur
ies resulting from an accident
between a motor vehicle and an
animal or an animal drawn ve
hicle occurred in rural areas.

More than 40 per cent of the
fatal tfaffic accidents in rural
areas were no collision accidents,
the majority of these being acci
dents in which the car ran off the
road.
Rural pedestrians account for
only one fatal accident in nine,
but nearly twice as many rural
people are killed and injured
when walking with the traffic as
when walking against it.
Of the rural population three
per cent is over 65 years of age,
yet 11 per cent of the pedestrian
fatalities are in this age group.
