Rumors of Alaska Highway's Closing
Are Unfounded, Sundborg Asserts
Stateside travellers who have
been considering a drive north to
Alaska this summer need have no
fear of being trapped by the un
expected closing of the Alaska
Highway, development board
head George Sundborg said last
week. “Travel restrictions are
not contemplated on the Alaska
Highway,” Mr. Sundborg stated.
“All transportation companies
which serve Alaska also are con
tinuing their regular service and

Card of Thanks
We take this opportunity
to express our gratitude to
members of Local No. 2251
of the Carpenter's Union,
and to all Valley friends
and residents who have
been so helpful during Mr.
Puhl's long illness. We are
particularly appreciative of
the help given us last week,
through the benefit dance
sponsored by the Carpen
ter's Union.
(Signed)
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Puhl

It has been rumored here in
the Valley, on several recent occa
sions, that the Alaska Highway
either was closed, or was about
to be closed, because of military
restrictions. There is no basis
for this rumor, according to Mr.
Sundborg and to local law and
highway officers.
Concern about Alaska’s safety,
in view of the current Korean
situation, has resulted in a cur
tailment of tourist travel to the
territory this year. The Alaska
Development Board has received
reports from a number of trans
portation companies, telling of
an increasing number of cancel
lations for tours. Exaggerated
news reports, in the states, of de
fense activities in Alaska are
blamed for the cancellations.
Steamship lines, ordinarily
booked solid for months in ad
vance of the summer season, now
have space open for travellers,
Sundborg reported.

bert are managing the Cafe.
