Chief of Police H. s. Weaver
does not agree with the cynic's re-
marks "If you observe all the traf-
fic laws you may not get involved
in an accident, but you won't get
where you're going either"
The Chief reminded us Of an
eight mile test on a heavily travel
led street literally sprinkled with
traffic signals. Two cars started at
the same instant. One observed all
the regulations. He stopped when
confronted by yellow or red light
on a signal; he waited for pedes-
trians or other vehicles to clear the
intersection before he started up.
He kept at legal speeds all the way.
The other car ran through the
yellow light, disregarded the center
line in passing, started up the
second the light changed and drove
as fast as he could without getting
into collision. Yet he travelled the
eight miles in but 56 seconds. less
than the law abiding driver! He
took numberless chances to save
seven seconds for each mile he was
travelling.
All one has to do is look over
accident records to be convinced
that traffic law violations leads to
accidents. Experts claim there's at
least one violation involved in
every collision. One fourth of the
intersections and driveways VIOLA
tions are speed.
The Uniform Traffic Act re-
quires driver to operate his
vehicle at a speed that will permit
him to bring it to a stop in the
assured clear distance" ahead.
That assured clear distance" is the
space between your car and the
one ahead, or the distance to the
pedestrian who is crossing the
straet. If you cannot stop in that
distance you are travelling too
fast even though you may be below
the legal speed limit.
Right of way violations and
failures to signal are the two
other big headaches at intersections
and driveways. 1t is not just unfair
to make a scooting left turn in
front of approaching cars. 1t is
downright dangerous. And it isn't
fair to stop in the middle Of the
street and leave every other driver
guessing what you are going to do.
Giving hand signals in advance
enables other drivers to do what is
necessary to avoid hitting your car,
and allows you to make your turn
with less danger.
Ohio's pedestrian deaths were re-
duced during 1860 mainly because
people walked more carefully. Too
many motorists bully their way
through pedestrians who are cross
ing the street. A green light does
not give you the right to scare
the wits out of those on foot. Pedes-
trians have the right of way.
Ohio's traffic death record may
be little better than the national

Aim of the clinic is to keep chill
dren well and a continuous record
is maintained for each child. This
indicates the child's physical and
mental growth up to school age.

Nutritionist and volunteers who

the children. Staff physician are
also at the clinics service.
Talking it over with the physi-
clan is an important part of the
clinic visit since any question is
quickly answered and mothers feel
assured their children are growing
normally and keeping well.

Well Child Clinic One Of Citys
Most Practical Health Adventures

Most so-called children's diseases
seem to come in cycles, and last
year the city was remarkably free
from epidemics Of this nature.

list with 229 cases reported. But
~ cases of measles and is Of
German Measles were recorded.
There were 25 cases Of Mumps, 81
of scarlet fever and 81 whooping
cough instances.
One of the most interesting
health adventures is the Well Chill
dren's Clinic held Wednesday morn
ings at Huron Road Hospital where
every possible facility is available.
There were 50 such clinics in 1850
with an average attendance of
eight. During the year there were
given 106 combined immunizations

bers of certain illnesses; the Well

Rare Alaska Collection
 Is Lost In COrdova Fire

ANCHORAGE - A 5000 col lection of rare Alaskan treasures was lost in the fire that recently destroyed the Lathrop Apart ments and Empress Theater in Cord0va.
 Dr. Will H. Chase, veteran AL askan practitioner, said he was unable to save his lifelong ac- emulation of paintings, souven- irs, keepsakes, large collection of Alaskana, rare Indian handi- craft and artifacts when the $1O0,0O0 fire struck Cordova last month.
 Dr. Chase said he had intended to present them to the University of Alaska Museum and had pro- vided for their transfer in his will at the time of his death.
 The fire which started in tav- ern and pool hall next door spread so rapidly that tenants of the apartment building which also housed the Empress theater were barely able to escape. An explo- sion knocked out all of the win.- dows and the flames were drawn through the concrete and stucco apartment house, gutting the in- terior.
 Dr. Chase had been a tenant of

LIN. Soldiers In Korea Infected by Mysterious New Chinese Disease

TOKYO, (P - A mysterious new disease, apparently brought to the battle lines by Chinese communist troops, has infected United Nations soldiers in Korea.
 Brig. Gen. William E. Sham bora, Far East Command surgeon, disclosed the presence of the dis ease. He said it was new to west ern medicine and its exact nature has not been determined.
 However, he said, it bore a striking resemblance to a malady called Epidemic Hemorrhagic Fever, which the Japanese dis covered in Manchuria in 1899.
 It is also known as Songo Fever and Kokka Disease.

 Prisoner Asks Transfer From OvercrOwded Jail

ANCHORAGE, PJudge An thony Dimond has reserved deci- sion on the plea of Federal jail prisoner that he be transferred to another more sanitary and less crowded lookup.
 Six attorneys argued the merits of the plea by Ernest Pickens, 20, who is being held on a robbery charge. The attorneys pointed out that the court has three alter natives if it accedes to Pickens' plea:
 l. Transfer the prisoners to other jails in the territory, pre- ferably in the Third Division.
 2. Convert the Anchorage Fed eral building basement to its or iginal purpose, that of a Federal jail.
 3. Release the prisoners.
 Thirty-nine men and one wom- an are in the Federal jail at this time in space intended for 18 per sons, the attorneys pointed out, and are forced to sleep in shifts.
 U. s. Attorney Earl Cooper told the court he felt it had no author ity to do anything about the jail conditions. He suggested how ever, that the prisoners be trans ferred rather than released.

James '. Loan

My name was filed as a can- didate for the office of mayor by petition circulated by friends. I have no political ambitions and no personal axe tc grind. 1 have no particular criticism of the present ad- ministration and believe that no man could have done more under the same circumstances.
 If I should be elected can only promise to exert all my efforts toward the continuation of the efforts of the past city councils and mayor. 1 feel that my many years in business for myself in Kodiak, both be- fore and after the late war, have given me an understand ing of local problems that will be invaluable to you. I own my own business, pay taxes to support this community out of my earnings. I am not under the influence of any corpora tioh, and l do not owe alleg- lance to any political group, faction or clique.
 l know most of you, particu- larly the old timers, and 1 am sure that you know that if I am chosen in this coming e. lection to be your mayor I will not let you or Kodiak down.

 Formerly, the paddy wagon sported a coat of rosy paint (same paint the factory put on).
 Dolan and Mckinley applied the new coat of paint at a cost of $40 to the city. A white star was painted on both sides of the vehicle and a "swoosh" stripe runs from the radiator to the lower half of the back panel. (No extra cost to the city for the strlpe.)
 Further decorative improv- ment in the police force will be in evidence when the pol icemen don their new slate blue uniforms which were or dered recently.

Arthur Lund Victim Nm Brooklyn Ave. Crash

One man was killed and another suffered shock and bruises when a speeding 1889 Ford Tudor got out of control on the curve above the Shupp, Chase, and Tolbert building on. Brooklyn avenue at 11:40 Thursday night.
 Arthur Simon Lund, 27, Se-- attle, was killed instantly, po- lice said, and Earl Chester Shockey, 30, Novinger, Mo-, was slightly injured when Lund lost control of the car.
 Lund was thrown from the car and crushed as the careen- ing vehicle turned end over end on leaving the road and came to rest on top of him.
 Corporal Carl Cedergren ot the ACS came along the road shortly after the accident and was stopped by Shockey who had climbed from the badly damaged car. The police were  notified and immediately went to the scene. Photographs of the wreckage were made. Shockey was taken to the hospital for treatment and Lund's body was taken to the Kodiak Mortuary. His next of kin were notified early yester- = day morning.
 Carter Seymour, chief of po2- lice, estimated that the Ford was travelling approximately 60 miles per hour when it went out of control. The Ford is owned by Al Miller of the Montmartre Inn.
 Lund was driving Shockey to the Brown Rooming House (former Erskine residence) from the Montmartre when the accident occurred.

Lee C. Bettirger

-~S ~n A~ ~
 It is important to know why a candidate is running for off, ice and what qualifications or experience he has to fit him for the job.
 First, l am seeking to con- tinue as mayor because 1 have invested my time and earnings here and their worth is depen- dent on the completion of the present programs I have in- instituted. Most of the details of this work I have handled personally, and I believe that it is sound business as well as my duty to guide our affairs through this critical period,
 Kodiak has grown to a point where the mayor must be in a position to devote considerable time and money to the office, and only a man in business for himself can do this. The office requires a man experi- enced in finance, engineering, business, municipal law and management, and acquain- tance with the many federal and territorial bureaus. I have this experience and know ledge. Our City government is the most complex business in Kodiak, and it is alarming to me that any inexperienced man, regardless of his inten- tions, would aspire to do this job without first at least serv- ing on the council.
 My record speaks for itself. Reflect on the changes in the past years that have made this a better place to live. Our financial condition is the best in our history. The past years work has brought within real ization those projects that will stabilize the economy and as- sure the growth of Kodiak; the water and sewer systems, schools and housing. These are to be followed by the street program, and other develop ments now being engineered.
 If elected I will continue to progressively devote my time to the best interests of Kodi- a4. My goal, our goal, is a clean, modern, financially sta ble community a community we can all live in happily and proudly.

Council Discusses Cold Storage

Cold Storage
 The council took one more step Monday night to termin- ate the lease for property held at the city dock by the Kodiak Ice and Cold Storage Co.,, Inc.
 A letter regarding the filing of yearly financial statements by the company was made a part of the official council min- utes with the approval of the council.
 The letter from Neil F. Moore, territorial auditor, to Paul A. Dupler, city attorney, said that no financial state- ment for the year ending Dec. '31, 1850, had been filed with the territorial office. It is a law that corporations must file a yearly financial statement. "The last report we have on file for this corporation is for the year ending Dec. 31, 1949," Moore wrote. Tn this report the current assets are listed as $119.64; capital as- sets, S163, 448. 8.89; other assets, $257, ,663.78: total assets, $521, ,231.31.
 "The current liabilities are listed as $21, ,231.31, capital Common stock), $500, %, total liabilities, $521, ,231.31.
 No list of capital stock is- sued is required to be filed in this office, /" Moore added. "The corporation is required to keep such a register.
 Moore also stated in the let ter that the authorized capi- talization of the company is 5000 shares at the par value of $100 each.
 Several local residents have invested in the company. Work on the construction of the cold storage building has been at a standstill for several months.
 During the council meeting Mayor Lee c. Bettinger asked Frank Meek to name the members of his newly formed crab canning company which plans to occupy space at the city dock.
 Meek said the only two members of the company are he and his wife and that the name of the business is w. F. Meek and Go. Bettinger de- clared, 'I am sick and tired of the comment heard on the streets that Jack Hinckel, John Gibbons and l are part ners in the company.
