 Is Explained
Purpose Is to Make Roads Safer ' Cooperation
 of Public Asked

A statement to the public explain ing the new Alaska highway traffic act enacted by the 1941 Legislature was made today by the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners as follows
 Under the provisions of the AL aska Highway Traffic Act the patroling of the principal roads of the Territory will now be under taken
 "The purpose of the act and the aim of the board in administering the act is to make the highways a safer place for the public. The regu- lations are liberal and no thought of working any hardship upon any one is contemplated in carrying out this mandate of the Legislature.
 New Drivers Licenses
 Every person wno drives a motor vehicle upon the roads Of Alaska will be required to obtain drivers li- cense for which the charge is one dollar for each calendar year or fractional part thereof. Licenses expire on December 31 and arc ex- pected to be taken out for the two year period which in this case ex- pires December 31, 1922.
 Reckless, indifferent and drunken drivers will be eliminated from the highways entirely by having their licenses revoked.
 'In addition to regular patrol of ficers who will constantly cover the important heavily travelled roads about 30 persons throughout the Territory have been delegated with enforcement authority.
 Aid to Travellers
 "Patrolmen will not only see that traffic regulations are enforced but will have a humanitarian function to perform as well in rendering ev- cry possible aid to travellers who are in trouble. While they will be ex- pected to enforce the law irrespect- i've of who is involved they will like wise be expected to treat the public with courtesy
 We have reached the point in Alaska where a few motor car driv- CTS through their carelessness and indifference for the right of others have created a condition that calls for action and action is now prom iSed.
 "The board urges public coopera- tion to make this law popular as well as successful"

 Only seven numbers were drawn in the Governors office. They were as follows:
 No. 1 - 817 CMorris Raymond Berg, Juneau Board registrant No. 2-1539 CNone on Juneau list '. No .3-972 (Frederico Fulgenicio, JuneaW.
 No. 4-86S (Henry Sully, JuneaW. No. 5-574 (William B. Hayden, JuneaU.
 No. 6-4s5 (Alfred w. Grove, Ju- neaW.
 No. 7-1486 (No Juneau number. .. The master list drawn in Juneau today will be sent to every Local Board in Alaska to determine the order number of registrants. Only two other Local Board lists, those of Fort Yukon and Panama. have been received by Selective Service head quarters here. Neither of these lists have numbers corresponding with the first seven drawn, as Fort Yukon has only 166 registrants and Panama 157.
 How It Works
 Each Local Board will determine the order number of it's registrants from the lottery here today Mum bers drawn which do not correspond with serial numbers on Local Board lists will be disregarded. For in stance, Juneau has only 14l6 regis trants, so has no man with number 1539. the second one drawn in the lattery. The Juneau Board will thus pass on to the next number, 972, and the person holding that number, Frederico Fulgencio, will have order No. in the Juneau Local Board jurisdiction.
 The Alaska Local Board with the largest number of registrants Is Fairbanks with 1734, followed by Anchorage with 1707 Director Nc Cormick inserted 2000 capsules in the drawing to allow plenty of lee way for new registrants who may be added to Local Board lists by trans fer.
 Mccormick said he had no official word on how many would be inducted in Alaska or when.
 After drawing 322 capsules, the Selective Service lottery equipment was moved to the District Court room, where drawing continued. Others of the first 50 numbers drawn, with Juneau registrants hold ing corresponding serial numbers, are as follows:
