SUCCESSFUL FIRST
PR/ ICE ALERT,
JU Ml,DOUGLAS
A highly successful practice alert
was the consensus at the conclusion
of last night’s first trial run of civil
defense alert machinery.
With the exception of one car in
the Juneau-Douglas area there j
was no traffic and no pedestrian
violations during the 45 minute j
alert. The Channel Bus Lines and
City Bus Line suspended opera
tions during the alert. All area
captains reported to the alert head
quarters in the city hall with the
exception of the captains for dis
tricts 36 and 38.
The National Guard cooperated
by supplying officers as monitors
of the operations. Tiiree Explorers
from Boy Scout Troop 613 and six
from Explorer Post 713 were used
as messengers. In case of a real j
alert and the failing of the tele
phone system, the boys would be
used as messengers. Roy Noland
and Roy Carrigan were appointed
as special wardens at last night’s i
operations for the telephone office i
to keep the service open in case of
an emergency. They have been re
leased from the fire department for ,
this duty.
Explorers from Troop C13 were
Dick Pegues, John Vavalis and
Richard Rountree; from Post 713
were Wayne Powers, Kenneth Mc
Gee, Peter Argetsinger, Jay Cran- ;
dall, Ernie Kronquist and Greg
Riplfe.
The National Guard's part in the
alegt consisted of furnishing ad- j
ditipnal armed guards at "trouble
spots.” In order to get to their |
posts rapidly, civil defense directors |
arr&nged for the use of taxis to
supplement National Guard trans
portation.
National Guard “flying squads ' j
were organized and held ready for
movement to any area requiring ;
thet presence to guard against j
sabotage or looting, to clear debris,
to rescue people from bombed build
ings and to fight fire.
Col. J. D. Alexander, Territorial,
Director of Civil Defense, stated i
that "the practice alert was very
well conducted demonstrating a
business-like approach throughout.” i
Plans for the Territory include I
civil defense practice alerts similar j
to this in all cities and villages with ,
possibilities being explored to in- j
elude full blackouts and mock at
tacks with Air Force planes flying j
over the cities.
Fire hose has been deposited in
three places throughout the city to
be (used in case the fire hall is des
troyed during a bombing, it was re
veled by Fire Chief Minard Mill.
Hoie has been put in the Earl
Cleveland residence on Seventh
street, the Alaska Electric Light
and Power Co. basement and at the
Juneau Cold Storage plant.
In a real alert the three fire
trucks would be dispersed with one
at the cold storage, one in the ceme
tery and one at the foot of Sixth
street hill with the one at the sub
port held in reserve.

Several committees scheduled af-1

rules for the present session.
The Senate transportation com

AUTO PARKING LAWS
GN HIGHWAY ARE TO
BE ENFORCED HOW
The continuous parking of ve
hicles on the shoulders of the high
ways in this vicinity is a serious
problem in connection with the
maintenance of the roads and par
ticularly for the snow removal. Not
only do parked cars prevent the
snow-plow operator from removing
the snow off the shoulders, but
since they force the snow-plow to
go around and into the opposite
lane in order to pass, a serious haz
ard is created which already has
caused several minor accidents.
It has been jointly decided by
Frank A. Metcalf, Territorial High
way Engineer, and C. F. Wyller,
District Engineer of the Bureau of
Public Roads, that it will be neces
sary to enforce the parking regula
tions of the Territorial Traffic
Laws. The Highway Patrol has been
instructed to warn the public
against illegal packing and if nec
essary to issue tickets for violations.
Attention is called to the fact
that today is the deadline for li
cense plates and driver’s certifi
cates. By February 1, tomorrow, all
delinquent cars will be given a
ticket.
There have been 45 days in which
to obtain 1951 plates and no ex
ceptions will be made.
