HIGHWAY LOAD LIMITS ARE CUT
 FIFTY PER GENT

Under the authority of the Board of Road Commissioners, the AL aska Highway Patrol and the Bur eau of Public Roads jointly an- nounce that effective immediately load limits on all public roads highways in Southeast Alaska are reduced 50 percent.
 These restrictions apply to the weight limits for vehicles as shown in Part II. Rules and Regulations of the Alaska Traffic Laws and VIII be strictly enforced by the Ter ritorial Highway Patrol. Attention is also called to the fact that prior permits should be obtained for the movement of any oversize vehicles or equipment at any time.
 These load restrictions are being imposed only for the purpose o1 preventing damage to the highways while in a soft, unstable condition due to the Spring breakup. Alter the frost leaves the ground and the conditions become more favorable this load limit will be gradually lifted, and will be entirely removed as soon as conditions warrant.
 The highways in southeast Alas ka, and particularly the paved sec ton of the Glacier Highway, re- presents considerable investment of Government funds and are con- structed for the benefit and use of all persons in the area. No par ticular damage has occurred so lar, and to date the Bureau of Public Roads is well pleased with the man ner in which the first AsphaltlC concrete paved highway in the area has withstood the winter.
 The cooperation of all persons using the highway will be appre- ciated.

PENGUIN PIONEERS
 MAY PUSH BACK
 OVER HAYNES ROAD

The seven Canadian penguin pioneers" who negotiated the 160- mile Haines highway in three days will turn around and go back over the route, it was believed today.
 The patrol group arrived at Haines Monday afternoon after a toilsome trek with two snowmobiles known in Canada as "penguins through treacherous Chilkat Pass and over a slide area few miles from the United States border. They encountered snow drifting as high as 12 feet.
 A. F. Ghiglione, chief engineer of the Alaska Road Commission, said the group contacted him be- fore their departure from the Alaska Highway to ask about pos abilities of obtaining 500 gallons of gasoline and adequate food supplies to make the return trip.
 The slide area, at Mile 44.8-just four and one-half miles inside Canada from the border-had them worried, because it has given con- siderable trouble ever since the roads construction in 1947. They planned on taking their penguins up to the slide and then walking to the border to get lift from com mission cars to take them into Haines. Ghiglione had contacted Forrest MacGowan. sub-district en- | gineer at the Lynn Canal port, to meet them. But the snowmobiles ne' gotiated the slide, and the trans 1 portation wasn't needed.
 The slide portion is several hun dred feet above a river. where the road clings to a precipitous cliff surmounted by sandy hill. Sum- mer rains cause sand to fall onto the road, blocking it completely and spring thaws cause the area to wipe out the road entirely at times

 The officials of the Juneau Ski Club learned of the entry today by wire. They said Sheila MacSpadden of Juneau will be among those skiers coming here for the four-way con- test. Miss MacSpadden placed high in the races held here last year.
 The meet will begin Saturday at II am. with a country race. The course has already been chosen by Bill Dean, coach of the Juneau 4iah School ski team. He described it as a tough course.

JAMES CHURCH E SURPRISE SPEAKER
 AT kIWANI5 CLUB

Here to participate in the big Southeast Alaska Ski Championship meet this weekend, James F. Church of Ketchikan also looked forward to attending the Kiwanis Club meeting today. He did not expect to appear on the program, other than to say how glad he is to be back for a few days.
 To his surprise, he shared pro- gram honors with Wayne Richey, after being welcomed heartily by the club of which he was secretary until moving away in May.
 Since the children heard me say that I hoped I could go to Juneau two weeks ago. commented Church, i've heard nothing but Juneau, Juneau with echoes from my wife. So the whole family piled aboard the Baranof and we're hav- ing wonderful time"
 Introduced as a guiding force in organizing the Juneau Ski Club, Church was asked to tell about skiing in the first city.
 He told of attending a party of the Ketchikan Ski Club, only to learn that this is a social club devoted to square dancing How ever, he found many fellow ski enthusiasts in the Tongass Ski Club, which he praised extrava< gantly for the boost its members have given skiing in that area.
 They are so ski-crazy that six of the fellows hauled an engine from the road and built a 1,200-foot rope tow, entirely from instructions out of Popular Mechanics. Their terrain is as good as that around Juneau, but they too, have the handicap of long hike" said Church.
 The former Juneauite says that some good talent is being develop ed and that skiiers hope to interest some service group in sending ski CTS here for next years meet. It is still uncertain whether there will be other Ketchikan entries for this meet, he said.
 Church was given extra time on the program partly because of the failure of two scheduled speak CTS to appear The third, Wayne Richey, gave summary of lead- ing article in the Kiwanis publica-

JUNEAU GARDENS
 FEATURE TELEvISION SHOW OVER kFI

Two Juneauites recently shared the honor of being the first Alaskan amateur photographers to supply the entire material for a television program broadcast over Station KFI-TV, Los Angeles.
 They are Mrs. Maxcine Williams and Charles w. Garter. Jane Mo Larty, commentator for the pro- gram, 'The World is Your Garden, became interested in Alaska gardens through conversations with her friend, Mrs. Charles A. Carter of Altadena. Mrs. Carter is the former Helen Carter of Juneau, the daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. Charles w Carter. She made the arrangements for the program February 24 which consisted entirely of color slides provided by the Juneauites, along with descriptive material.
 The slides were projected over new machine recently installed by the station, directly to the audience, the image being received as full screen size. Unfortunately, the color was lost, as color cannot yet be pro- iected. However, the films were very effective, as they had been selected for their outstanding contrasts and clarity, and came through in good detail and great beauty even though not in color.
 Mrs. Carter made a hurried trip here from California last week, bringing her 4-year-old daughter, Candi. She arrived Wednesday, especially to visit her mother, who is seriously i'll in St. Ann's hospital
 For the television show, Mrs. Will Hams contributed several beautiful and unusual views of flora o1 Alaska, a subject she has been studying for several years. A short lecture concerning each specie ana general location of growth was given bv Jane McLarty from notes sup piled by Mrs Williams. Among these rare and unusual pictures were several that later proved to be ot special interest to the audience notably the fairy slipper orchid ana the red twigged dogwood.
 Mir. Carter donated mary scenlc views from his large collection, these being used to form background and when shown mingled with the floral pictures. Among his pictures were several of homes in the Ju- neau area showing blooming gar dens. These seemed to amaze many of the viewers who still cling to the mistaken idea that Alaska IS Just a large icefield.
 The television audience was ap- praised of the fact that the loVeiy floral scenes were but a few that will soon be seen in Mrs. Williams new book. "Flora of Alaska" near ing completion.
 Miss McLarty writes KFl-IV station reported that the program was barely off the air when then telephone operators were receiving calls of appreciation from viewers who had enjoyed the entertaining and educational broadcast made possible through the efforts and the generosity of Mrs. Williams and MT Carter. Many asked how seeds could be obtained.
