A membership committee of
State Takes Step
Toward National
Highway Marks
The Bureau of Public Roads
has announced that it will ap
prove for use on federal aid high
ways only such signs, signals
and markings as conform with
the new manual.
However, Sherard noted, the
BPR has announced also that
“state will be allowed a reason
able time to replace existing de
vices and signs.”
T. D. Sherard, director of the
Alaska Division of Highways,
said the recent approval of a new
manual on “Uniform Traffic Con
trol Devices for Streets and High
ways,” has made the start of the
conversion possible in the 49th
state.
All purchases of new highway
signals and signs will be in keep
ing with the manual, Sherard
noted, and said that all new signs
erected by the highway division
will conform also.
The chief engineer added, how
ever, that it will require several
years before the conversion is
100 per cent complete since the
state cannot afford to discard
existing signs which do not con
form with the code.
the association has already been
in operation for several weeks
under the leadership of Mrs. Da
phne MoLane' and Mrs. Marian
Cherts. Membership in the as
sociation is open to all, and dues
are one dollar per calendar year.
Those joining are invited to pay
two dollars which will place them
in good standing through 1962.

‘Old Newf Comes
By Jet to Join
Joe Wilson Family
Joe Wilson of Kenai has a new
puppy, of which the entire Wil
son family is very proud. The
nine-weeks-old Newfoundland fe
male already weighs 18 pounds,
looks like a small black bear, and
has been named “Old Newf” by
the Wilsons’ four-and-a-half year
old son Timmy.
“Old Newf” is one of only two
Newfoundland dogs to be found
in the entire state of Alaska,
says Joe, and both are in the
Kfnai Peninsula. She arrived by
Northwest Orient jet plane Sat
urday from New York and was
purchased from a kennel in Con
necticut.
Joe crossed paths with the
owners of the other Newfound
land at International Airport in
Anchorage when they came to
get their puppy, a male, which
also arrived by plane. Wilson-for
got their names but says they
live at Mile 23 on the Seward
Highway.
“Old Newf”, who has a much
more elaborate name in the reg
istry records, is expected to
weigh about 150 pounds when
grown and currently is putting
away good sized daily feedings
of “Gravy Train,” says Joe. He
added that Newfoundlands are
famous for their ability to with
stand cold temperatures and that
they are used in rescuing ship
wrecked sailors off the coast of
Newfoundland.
