DON'T BE A POTENTIAL KILLER

1t is a trite saving. that gasoline and liquor 90
not mix but it is nevertheless true when applied to
the person who has consumed intoxicating beverage
and attempts to drive automobile Chief OF Police
Dan Ralston in declaring that he is clamping down
on drunken drivers, went a little further He de-
clared that the man who is driving while under
the influence of liquor is a potential killer and in
this day of mechanized transportation where the
deaths from auto accidents mount to thousands an
nually in the nation the appalling record would lnd-
cate that he isn't far from right
Juneau has been exceptionally free from automo-
bile tragedy The number of drunken driving cases
have been comparatively few and none has resulted
SO far in serious accident death, and as CHIEF
Ralston very wisely concludes should keep that
record intact
1t would be a pretty terrible thing to sober up
some morning and learn the broken body OF your
neighbor's child lying in the morgue due to your
faulty driving of an automobile while under the m
fluence of liquor but there countless cases OF
that nature emanatl1g from the heavily -traversed
highways OF the States every year. 1t can happen
here if every driver in this community doesn't make
it point to stay away from the wheel OF his car
when he has been drinking any sort of alcoholic
beverage.
Trite but true, gasoline and liquor just do not
mix so why try it? 1t is sound advice that Chief
Ralston gives when he says: IF you must drink,
don't drive; if you are going to drive, don't take
drink-not even one

EXCELLENT COOPERATIVE EFFORT

Through cooperative effort Of the Alaska Game
Commission. the Territorial Treasurers office and
the District Attorneys office in the Third Division
the first offensive against fur smuggling into the
Territory with the aim of collecting bountes has
been made successfully. One man in the Chlsana
district has confessed to participating in such opera
cns and in addition TO paying heavy fine has been
ordered by the court to make refund to the Terri
tory of $780, bounty money he collected on wolf and
coyote hides which were brought across the border
from Canada
Last year the Territorial Legislature appropriated
$4,000 for the payment of wolf and coyote bounties
at $50 each Already that fund is exhausted, virtually
year before another Legislature can meet to make
further appropriation for the purpose This means
to the men who take wolves and coyotes in the Ter
ritory that they will get their bounty money now
for at least year Instead they will get receipts CASH
able when funds are made available in the bounty
fund Naturally, this will tend to curb activity on
the part of the trappers and hunters against the
predators on which is now being waged
Thus the value OF such cooperative effort as is
now evidenced by the Treastuer's office, Game Com
mission and District Attorneys office readily seen
Not only is law violaor halted in his illegal activi-

to excited imagination. The American market has
itself done exactly that Possibilities which it assigns

The basic reason for the scope of declines that have
already occurred the hesitation of large investors to

even of this consideration it must be observed that
