FURTHER REDUCE
 SPEED LIMIT ON
 ALA5'kl.Aly 4 R0lADS
Pleasure Cars Now Held 10 Top Rafe of 35Miles
 an Hour

The Territorial Board of Road commissioners, at meeting held in the Governors Office yester- day, established a maximum speed limit for the Territory of 35 miles an hour for pleasure cars, and 30 miles an hour for trucks or other freight-carrying vehicles. E
 Said Gov. Ernest Gruening in announcing the change: Since President Roosevelt has indicated that for the duration of the war 40 miles an hour should be the maximum speed for the entire na- tion in the interest of gasoline, oil and rubber conservation, it seems proper that Alaska, with it's un- paved highways, should set fig ure of not less than five miles an hour under the maximum.
 This regulation will both add to the safety of life and limb on the highways and be useful con- tribution to the indispensable con- servation of rubber and fuel sup plies. This order takes effect inn and is for the duration of the war unless subsequently, modi- fled"
 This is the second reduction in recent months, the first setting the top pleasure car speed at 40 miles an hour.
 The Commissioners also amended the regulations relating to the is suance of motor vehicle operat- or's license which require that no person under 16 years of age may qualify, to read that no per- son under IS years may be issued a license unless that person has the consent of parent or guardian.

US0 5LAMB0REE I5 SCHEDULED
 TO RAISE FUNDS
g Contribution Good for Smoker, Dance and
 Baseball Game

Another big weekend of enter tainment is scheduled for Juneau. Theoretically the admission is free. It all has to do with Juneau's con- tribution to the USO, nationwide organization which spends millions of dollars each year to provide morale building recreation for men in the service throughout the United States and on all fronts.
 Juneau's quota in the campaign is $2,022. That's where the USO Slamboree comes in. A Slamboree, according to Don Skuse who heads a Rotary Club committee in charge of the event, consists of an eight bout smoker, a dance and a base ball game all in two days. The works will take place in Juneau on July 25 and 26, Friday and Saturday.
 Combination Ticket
 Admission to all three events will be a $2 contribution to the USO. Each person who shells out $2 for the worthwhile organization will be given a combination ticket good for the smoker and dance on Sat urday night, and the baseball game on Sunday afternoon.
 Battling in the smoker, which will be held in the Firemen's Field ball park, will be a boxing team from Chilkoot Barracks against a team from the U. s. Troops at Juneau a return schedule. There will be eight bouts between men ranging from the lightweight class allthe way up to slugging 200- pounders.
 The dance will be held on the same night, immediately follow ing the boxing matches. A service mems band will furnish the music and ladies will be admitted free The $2 combination ticket will pass the gentlemen in.
 Baseball Game On Sunday afternoon, the pick of the Juneau All-Star soldier slug gers will meet the All-Star nine from Chilkoot Barracks in a base ball game. The same $2 combina- ton ticket will admit Juneauites to this affair.
 This will be the first outdoor smoker to be held in Juneau for many years, A ring will be con- structed near the grandst tand, lighted, and arrangements will be made to cover it so that the bouts can be pulled off rain or shine. Tickets for the USO Slamboree will be put on safe in the near future.
