ALASKAN MILITARY
TO ECONOMIZE
ON USE OF FUELS
A drastic curtailment in the
consumption ot petroleum pro
ducts by the Alaskan military es
tablishment has been directed by
Lt. Gen. W. E. Kepner. command
er-in-chief, Alaska. His order to
commanders of the United States
Army Alaska, Alaskan Sea
Frontier and Alaskan Air Com
mand. directed the economical
use of marine, motor transport
and aviation fuels and lubricants.
Also mentioned were heating,
power plant and stationary en
gine fuels.
Conservation measures directed
included sharp reduction of motor
transportation through careful
regulation of both cargo and pas
senger vehicles and the substitu
tion where practicable of train
ing requiring a minimum of
transportation.
Additional restrictions will be
placed on lighting, power and
heat, already under an economy
program.
Air cargo and passenger ship
ments will be reduced where rail
and highway shipments can be
substituted in keeping with a
minimum-air operations policy.
While essential missions will be
continued, pilots will be limited
to a minimum number of hours
training time and strict super
vision will be exercised over com
bat crew training and administra
tive flying to maximize fuel con
servation.
Curtailment of civilian use of
fuel was felt in Alaska this w eex
when Pan American Airlines an
nounced a 50 percent reduction m
flights to Alaska.
NO FLAG
Absence of an American flag
marking the voting place in Pal
mer last week was noticed by
several electors, and the subject
was brought up at the meeting of
Chamber of Commerce following
the Primary Election.
It was pointed out that the Am
erican institution of voting should
be symbolized in the display of
the flag at every poll. Since the
city of Palmer will be in charge
of most elections held within

control assistants..
All open-fire burning planned

“We've been running down a
lot of smoke most of it stump

in advance when someone plans
to bum, it will prevent a need
less trip.” he added.
The two men have not been
idle since coming to Palmer.
April 29 saw them at Moose
Creek extinguishing a fire that
burned more than a quarter of
'the old railroad trestle. They
have also put out camp fires left
burning by hunters or fishermen.

the Territorial Law and the fire
control men urge and ask for co
operation from the public.
The public picnic grounds are
open and campfire permits are
not required but caution in build

is necessary.
New fire prevention posters
were placed in various public
i spots throughout the city by Tur

the ever-present danger of fire
in the woods.
The fire control area covered
by Klump and Turner runs from
Knik Bridge to Eureaka and the
Willow area. Early reports of
fires in any part of this area is
requested by the men to facilitate
. early control.
Film on fire prevention and
control is available for use of in
