One-Numbered Hiway Ups
Tourist Travel Between Areas
Summer vacationers, fisher
men and hunters will go to Al
aska in greater numbers over
the proposed one-numbered
highway from Fairbanks to
Mexico City, officials pushing
the project predict. A meeting
on the proposal will be held
with delegates from Mexico
Dec. 7-9 at McAllen, Texas.
Under the plan proposed by
W. J. Windom, president of
U.S. 281 Hiway Association, no
change of highway numbers in
Alaska, Canada, and Mexico
Pilots, Owners
Respond to Civil
Defense Request
An excellent response is be
ing received from Alaskan pil
ots and aircraft owners in an
swer to a recent request that
was made jointly by the FAA
and the state division of avia
tion, in which an appeal was
made that in the interest of
civil defense all civil pilots and
aircraft owners in Alaska reg
ister themselves and their air
craft, Eugene G. Roguszka, di
vision of aviation, said this
week.
Cards are available for this
purpose and may be obtained
from any FAA flight service
station, state airport manager,
state magistrates, and the divi
sion of aviation office at 523
Eighth Avenue, Anchorage.
Any civil pilots or aircraft
owners who have not yet reg
istered, are urged to do so im
mediately. Local pilots and
owners may obtain their cards
in the office of Mrs. Dorothy
Saxton, deputy district magis

would be sought, but the desig
nation “Continental 281“ would
be added. The road would fol
low the present route from
Fairbanks across Canada and
south through the Dakotas via
Jamestown, North Dakota, Ne
braska. Kansas, Oklahoma, and
Texas to the U. S. 281 branch
from Pharr, Texas to the IvIc
Allen Municipal Bridge across
the Rio Grande to Reynosa,
Mexico.
From the McAllen gateway.
Continental 281 would follow
the shortest route from any
U.S. border point to Mexico
City. This Alaska-Mexico road
would be the longest in North
America, according to Wade
Terrell, executive vice presi
dent of the McAllen Chamber
of Commerce, a leader in the
project. McAllen will be host to
175 federal, state and city offi
cials and their wives from
Mexico at the December meet
AREA STUDENTS SEE
FIRST AID FILM
Over 500 students in the Pal
mer and Wasilla high schools
were shown a first aid training
film by members of the Palmer
police department early this
month, according to police
chief Louis Bencardino.
The film, which depicts em- J
ergency first aid treatment of
injuries, was shown as part of
the Palmer police department
civil defense plan. One of the
objectives is to give informa
tion and training to the young
people of the area so that they
will be able to help themselves
and their families in case of an
emergency.
The film was also shown Nov.
13 at an MEA safety meeting.
1 ing to further the road plan.
Officials say the one-number
ed highway will not only in
crease tourist travel to Alaska
and Canada, but will make it
easier for Alaskans and Cana
dians to go to the lower Rio
Grande valley of Texas for the
winter, and will be a conveni
ence for winter and summer
travelers to Mexico.
Weskend Games
Pit Moose, Ravens
By Butch McKenzie and
Gene Rumple
On Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 the
Palmer Moose will host the
Eielson Ravens. The Ravens
will first play the Wasilla War
riors on November 29 and then
compete with the Moose in
weekend games. Both “A" and
“B” team games will be played
in Palmer.
On November 21 the Palmer
Moose suffered another loss on
the basketball court at the
hands of the Palmer Alumni
squad. The Moose were leading
at the half time by a score of 21
to 17. They continued to lead
until the last quarter was al
most over. During the last ten
seconds of the fourth quarter
the Moose were in front by
only one point. The ball was
taken out by the Alumni and
John Brown scored on a jump
shot with three seconds re
maining in the game, to chalk
up another win for the Alumni,
with a score of 46 to 45.
A man’s decline begins the
day he decides he can make a
dollar easier than by honest
work.
