Trucking Is On Upgrade;
In Territory
Commercial trucking is becom- j
ing an increasingly important
business in Alaska, it was an
nounced this week by the Alaska
Development Board. During peak
months of traffic last June, July
and August, the ADB traffic re
port shows that 10 trucks a day
moved into Alaska.
Even during the winter months,
traffic figures show that 100
trucks enter the territory each
month.
A comparison of the 1949 traffic
report with ’48 figures shows that
there were at least 2,000 more ve
hicles in Alaska last year than in
the year before. Development
Board officials feel that reflects
Alaska’s increasing popularity as
a place to live.
Territorial Income Tax Forma
Available From Commissioner
Territorial income tax blanks
are now available at the office of
U. S. Commissioner Dorothy Sax
ton. Mrs. Saxton also has re
ceived an added supply of appli
cations for small business licenses.

ent said the annual senior play

Remember?

ARMY'S AACS —
(Continued from page 2)
Referees for the tournament
were Ray McCartney, Art Stacey
and Robert Crites.
In Friday night’s opening game
of the second round, the AACS
squad disposed of Wasilla with
little effort, and they recorded the
biggest score of the tournament.
When the final whistle blew,
AACS had 72 and Wasilla trailed
with 39.
In the evening's second game,
the 57lh Medics were trodding
on Shamrock heels all evening.
The Medics figured a defense
that stopped Doc Johnson with
just five field goals, but while
they lavished personal attention
on him, they mistakenly neg
lected Gordon Berg — Gordon
therefore reproved them for
their oversight by slapping in
22 points, nine of them in the
fourth quarter when the Sham
rocks had most use for them.
The game ended 62-56 in Sham
rock favor.
Although Wasilla and the Med
ics both were defeated in this
round, they played again on Sat
urday night to determine the
third-place position of the tourna
ment.
The Medics definitely proved
their superiority on Saturday,
when they took the curtain-raiser
from Wasilla by a 55-36 count.
The Valley was a two-time
loses that night, for later the
Army's AACS squad rubbed
Shamrock noses in the dirt.
- with a winning score of 61-39.
The Shamrocks sorely missed
Doc Johnson's this-one's-in-for
sure shots in this game, for
there was a dearth of field goals
noted in the Shamrock score -
book that night.
After all the fun and shouting
ended on Saturday night, Kiwanis
club members locked themselves
into a burglar-proof office and be
gan to count their shekels. They
round, after careful check and re
check, that the tournament had
grossed over $600, and that the
i i would buy an electric clock
and scoreboard, to be installed in
ne Gymnasium before another
basketball season descends on the
Valley.
