Alaska Freight Lines
Proposes New Service
A link between the Pacific
Coast, Alaska and the industrial
middle west will spon be pro
vided by seagoing barges and
fast towboats, according to an
nounced plans of Alaska Freight
Lines, Inc.
The company has applied to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
for permission to open the new
intercoastal service on a month
ly basis .
“We have spent the last year
and a half in research on trans
portation on the Mississippi River
and the inland waterways of the
middle west,” said E. W. Hund
ley, executive vice president of
Alaska Freight Lines. He added
that they feel there is a great po
tential for movement of freight
in the proposed area.
The company has several years
of experience in tOwboat-and
barge and trucking operations be
tween Puget Sound and interior
Alaska as a foundation for their
new service .
IDENTIFICATION FOR
STATESIDE TRAVEL
Alaskans planning to go Out
side after Christmas have been
much perturbed over the incon
venience of obtaining identifica
tion cards to pass the Immigra
tion and Naturalization Service
regulations imposed by the Mc
Carran Immigration Act, which
becomes effective Dec. 24.
A letter from Paul V. Clumper,
Officer in charge, may clear up
some apprehensions. We give it
in full:
“Several inquiries have been
received from residents of Sew
ard regarding issuance of United
Citizen’s Identification Cards. In
the inquiries it was indicated that
Che presentation of these was
compulsory before Alaskans could
leave the Territory. Such is not
the case.
“The Identification Cards can
be issued by this office and would
.simplify the inspection of a tra
eveler not only in leaving Alas
ka but in travtlling through Can
ada and Mexico. However, any
good identification or birth record
should be sufficient for presenta
tion to the Immigration officers.
Persons who are not citizens of
the United States should carry
their alien registration card.
“It is hoped that this will clar
ify some of the misunderstanding
about operation of the McCarran
Act which takes effect December
24, 1952. It is contemplated at the
present time that i npseoitcn
present time that inspection of
persons traveling fa/ aircraft will
be made in Alaska and that per
sons traveing by boat will be in

Boy Scoot Drive
Set For Dec. I
Plans for a consentrated Boy
Scout drive in the Palmer area
were formulated at a Scout Lead
ers’ meeting held last week in
Palmer.
The campaign is scheduled for
the first week in December with
two centrally located spots plan
ned where individuals may make
contributions. Business firms will
be personally contacted, it was
announced. The local Boy Scout
program was not part of the re
cent Community Chest drive, pre
ferring instead to conduct their
own drive for funds. •
Anyone interested in donating
his or her time to helping with
the drive is asked to contact
Rev. Edward Imme. Part of the
funds raised during the drive will
go toward King’s Lake Camp ac
tivities.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Reiss and
family were week-end guests of
Lt. and Mrs. Paul Larson of Ft.
Richardson.

IT IS "SEWARD
ANCHORAGE" HIGHWAY
Alaska Road Commission offi
cials seem slightly irked by the
proclivity of Alaskans for call
ing highways by their old, fa
miliar names instead of the offi
cial names by which the were
dedicated.
For instance, the “Palmer
road” out of Anchorage is not
the Palmer road at all, but the
Glenn Highway. In like manner,
Sewardites speak of “the Kenai
road,” the missing link.” or the
‘Hope road,” when they really
mean the Seward-Anchorage
Highway, which is the official
name for the road that comprises
parts of all three of the former
road names. Also officially, miles
on this highway will be counted
off from Seward, beginning with
zero at the city limits.

People all over the United States are becoming
better acquainted with Alaska through the colorful,
12-page booklet, "Welcome to Alaska.” The booklet
was prepared and printed by the Alaska Salmon
Institute as a public service. Nearly 100,000 booklets
have been printed since April, 1951.
»
! Some 40,000 "Welcome to Alaska” booklets have
been sent at residents’ requests to people all over
the United States. The booklet has been so popular
that steamship and airline companies have requested
thousands of copies to present to their passengers.
. Alaska’s residents have requested over 26,000 book
lets for themselves and requests are still being re
ceived every day through Sam Hayes’ radio program,
the Weekly Spectator, and through the Alaska Sal
mon Institute’s newspaper advertisements.
If you would like to have a copy of "Welcome to
Alaska” for yourself or for friends outside the Terri
tory, just address a post card or letter to the Alaska
Salmon Institute, Box 893, Ketchikan. At the^same
time, why not write for a copy of "Alaska’s Salmon
Industry.”
