Thompson Pass Work
Col. Noyes said he is particularly
, interested to see the progress on the
maintenance work at Thompson
j Pass on the Richardson Highway
| which is being kept open this winter
j entirely by the ARC. He said that
while this season it is an experi
1 ment toward future all year round
operations it has so far been wholly
successful.
Two buildings, a bunkhouse and
a garage are in the final stages of
completion on the Pass and are
now occupied. Commercial and
military traffic to Anchorage and
Fairbanks is being carried on at
normal rate.
A road crew is doing improvement
work preparatory to paving of the
first 35 miles out from Valdez for
which contracts have been let for
the job to be started next season.
This section includes the Keystone
Canyon and Thompson Pass. Re
building and enlarging of the tun
nel in the Keystone Canyon is in
progress.
Col. Noyes said advices received
by him report all roads kept open
at this time of the year are in nor
mal state. In spite of the recent 17
inch snowfall at Anchorage the
roads there have been kept open
and maintained for the usual traf
fic.
Conference at Anchorage
Colonel Noyes will participate at
an important conference with the
Association of General Contractors,
and Army and the Alaska Railroad
officials scheduled to be held in
Anchorage. December 9. to discuss
the dual subjects of the construc
tion program for next season and
the matter of steel priorities. The
steel priorities present a consider
able problem at the present time,
the road commissioner said, due to
the demands for the defense pro
gram.
Restriction on Explosives
Another problem which now faces
road builders. Colonel Noyes said,
is the new Coast Guard restriction
on the unloading of explosives at
Alaskan ports. Regulations have
been issued, he said, pursuant to an
Act of Congress forbidding the
handling of more than 500 pounds
of any one shipment of explosives
at any dock near human habitation
or activities. The Commissioner of
Roads pointed out that owing to the
general lack of any docks not near
human habitation the regulations
pretty nearly shuts off the possi
bility of obtaining explosives for
road construction. This, he said,
means a threatened shut down of

some of the important road work
which involves rock excavation.
Every effort will be made, Col.
Noyes said, to find some solution
so that work vitally important to
i the national defense program may
not be impeded.
Sale Asphalt Stopped
Col. Noyes said he will also confer
with municipal authorities in An
chorage and Fairbanks regarding
a recent ruling from the Interior
Department that the Alaska Road
Commission will no longer be able
to sell asphalt to Alaska cities or
I private individuals not concerned
| with ARC contracts, on the ground
I that the authority is not clear for
! the Road Commission to carry on
such action. The Road Commission
j has been selling bulk asphalt from
i its storage tanks at Valdez anc
; Anchorage.
Conferences will also be held bj
the Road Commission with Alaska
Defense officials, the Alaska Rail
road management and the Bureai
of Land Management chiefs in An
chorage.
After his return to Juneau thi;
month preparations will be under
way for the big annual conference
of Alaska Road Commission for
district engineers, division chief,
and other staff members, to be
held in Juneau, January 8 to 12.
At this time the entire program of

the ensuing season will be discussed,
and awards for safety and other
operations during the past year

IN these uncertain days it’s wise to
buy a rugged truck that can roll
with the punches for years to come.
Big fleet operators who keep careful
i check on all makes of trucks tell us that
GMG’s are consistent standouts for
long life with minimum maintenance.
That goes for all GMC’s from Vi-ton
models up. Many GMG Diesel truck
tractors are still highballing loads with
more than a million miles of over-the
road service behind them.
The reason is — every GMC is all
truck! Every GMC is designed by
truck engineers for truck service with
100% truck-built parts. You get a real
truck engine with high horsepower and
higher sustained torque —more pull
on engine that delivers full Power without
eating its heart out!
There are many other extra-value
reasons why a GMC is your best buy
for the long haul. We’ll be glad to
give you proof!
Get area! truck! HI
