FAIRBANKS i* — Territorial
Attorney General J. Gerald Wil
liams has been called upon to
push a peanut with his nose from
Big Delta to Tok—if Alaska—be
comes a state. Williams recently
told Chicago newsmen he would
do just that if the bill passed the
Senate.
Yesterday, Chamber of Com
merce here wired Williams: “Re
your publicized offer in case state
hood bill passes Senate, this is
to advise: Have peanut, will tra
vel, hppe for your reply: Have
nose, will push.” _Looks like
the great Gerald opened up his
big mouth once too often.
Heard from thp Crew
Judging by the many phone
calls and letters we have received
since publication of the editorial
in last week’s issue on the base
iown road, users of the road have
long been silent—perhaps think
ing these conditions couldn’t go
on forever.
The outgoing and the incoming
presidents of the Chamber of
Commerce both called Juneau this
week, and after a series of phone
calls and consultations, received
assurances the road conditions
would be improved by next week.
It is planned to get the roads into
gdod condition for the 4th of July,
in’ anticipation of the influx of
station personnel taking part in
the celebration.

Policy Pointers
By Art Brooks
Occasionally, an insured asks
how Liability Coverage protects
his own vehicle. The answer to
this question is, “Liability does
not protect your car.”
I will explain further with a
quotation from the policy itself,
“to pay on behalf of the insur
ed all sums which the insured
shall become legally obligated
to pay as damages because of:
A. Bodily injury, sickness or
disease including death re
sulting therefrom, hereinaf
ter called bodily injury sus
tained by any person.
B. Injury to or destruction of
property, including loss of
thereof, hereinafter called
property damage.”
To afford coverage for #ogr
own vehicle you must carry
Collision and Comprehensive.
To pay for any injuries to your
self and passengers, it is neces
sary to carry Medical Pay
ments.
