problem of including Alaska in flu

Presidents Visit
Whereas. the growing import
ance of Alaska in our defense is en-
phasized by the prospective visit of
the President, and its domestic sit

vital to the common veal; and
Whereas, its present population
of approximately sixty thousand
persons, as compared with its area
of slightly less than six hundred
thousand square miles and so leaves
them impotent TO defend the Ter
ritory from aggression and creates
danger to the entire continental
United States: and
Whereas, this gigantic untapped

of eight million; and

a substantial m cunt of United

SLOW DRIVER IS
PRIME FACTOR in
MANY ACCIDENTS

The slow driver, who pokes along
the highways in complete disregard Of
the congestion caused by his selfish
ness, is assailed as a menace by the
Keystone Automobile Club.
1--WE frequnelty have been asked,
What percentage of weekend traf-
fic accidents is due to slow driving? 2"
said Matthew P. Hanley, Manager of
the Eastern Shore Division of the
Club. "The question cannot be ans
wered statistically, because accident
analysis deals only with immediate
causes, but it unquestionably is true
that the slow driver is a factor in
many accidents, particularly on week
ends when traffic is at its peak.
Ellis Tor herr part in the accident
picture is this: A slow-moving car on
a two-lane highway interferes with
the free movement of other vehicles
which, held to a pace far below the
limits allowed by law, soon form long
lines behind the pace-maker. Impa-
thence of drivers increases with every
mile of such slow progress and exas-
peration finds outlet in dangerous
passing attempts.
"There probably isn't motorist in
the State who has not experienced try
ing moments in weekend driving be-
cause of the selfishness of some fellow
drivers. The slow, or 'pokey', driver
may think he is playing it safe by
creeping along at 20-mile rate, but
actually he is creating one of the
worst of highway hazards.
eff all motorists drive at rate per-
mitted by law and conditions of the
road, orderly, safe traffic movement
will result"
