Traffic Urged
By Chief Perez

''In traffic, courtesy is a life and
death matter" Chief Bienvenido
Perez said today.
In making this statement the
Chief said the Key West Safety
Council deserved special commeu-
dalton for organizing the local Sa-
fety Week. =
The reason for this great coord
mated effort, according to Chief
Perez, is simply the knowledge that
many motor vehicle accidents new.
err would occur if all drivers would
realize that courtesy on the hign-
way actually does save lives.
"A study of violations in traffic
accidents" he explained, "indicat-
eS certain acts of courtesy that
drivers can carry out to protect
themselves and others from injury
and death on the highway"
Referring to National Safety
Council studies on fatal motor We
hicle accidents for 1854, Chief Pc
rez said they indicated that the fol-
lowing list of courteous acts must
be considered basic to safe driv-
ing:
/. Share the road by driving in
the proper lane.
2. Allow ample clearance when
passing.
3. Yield the right of way to other
drivers. to pedestrians.
4. Give proper signals for turns
and stops.
S. Dim headlights when meeting
or following vehicles.
6. Respect traffic laws, signs,
signals and road markings.
7. Adjust driving to road, traf.
fic and weather conditions.
Perez urged everyone to remem,
Der and act on the slogan, make

made a comprehensive study and report on recreational resources along Alaskan highways in 1944. As a result, several areas adjacent to the highways were withdrawn for future park and recreational purposes.
 In addition to the six areas re- quested for the territory, seven other sites were withdrawn for potential development by the Ma tional Park Service. The governor said that in view of private de- velopment of number of over night stopping places along the highway, these seven areas should no longer be retained but should be returned to the status of pub lie domain for private develop ment.

"DATE WITH JUDY PRESERVED BY LANTERN LIGHT

Members of the cast of "A Date with Judy" proved they are real troopers last Saturday night when during the performance a power failure left the audience and cast alike, in the dark. The substitu- ton of two Coleman gas lanterns and two flashlights from the audi ance solved the problem. Pat Chandler, taking the part of Judy; Phil Stainbrook as her father, MT. Foster, and Virginia Boulter as Mrs. Foster turned in fine per- formances with wonderful SUD- port from the entire cast.
 Although the attendance was smaller than anticipated, because of the unexpected "black-out" in Palmer, those attending thorough ly enjoyed the presentation. The well-directed play was under the leadership of Keith Stanton of the Palmer High School staff.

Governor Recommends New Recreation Areas

Governor B. Frank Heinzleman notified his office in Juneau this week that he is conferring with Interior Department officials in regard to six specific areas al- ong the Alaska highway system for development as territorial parks and recreational areas. He said three sites at Salchaket Lake, Mentasta Lake, and Summit Lake are of major importance and can be developed into Outstanding public parks and recreational areas. Three smaller areas on the Alaska highway offer sites for camping, picnic tables, and con- fort stations.
 The governor is recommending that all of these areas presently withdrawn by the Interior De- partment be eventually transfer red to the territory. He said that the transfer of public lands to the territory for recreational pur- poses may now be effected as the result of the establishment of the territorial department of public lands.
 This new department was es- tablished by the 1853 Legislature and among it's powers and du- ties has the authority to accept and administer lands granted the territory for park and recrea- tional purposes.

The annual Girl Scout cookie sale will begin in the Valley Sat urday afternoon, April 3 at 200 p.m., it was announced this week. This hour was chosen to permit troops meeting on Saturday to obtain their cookies and begin their sales at the same time, Mrs. Charles Wilson, Girl Scout leader said.
 No money is to be paid the girls until the cookies are delivered. It has been suggested that orders not be given until the cookies are brought to the house, unless the purchaser is a special friend or relative of the girls. This pre- vents errors in delivery, and dis appointed customers. There will be six Palmer troops and two from Wasilla selling the cookies.
 Part of the profits from each box of cookies goes to the trea- surer of each troop, with the bal ance of the profits going to the Susitna Council for both day and established summer camps. Scout officials in Palmer are hoping for a day camp in this area this con- ing season, even though many of the Girl Scouts will be going to Kings Lake Camp, as well.
 The cookies are of excellent quality, as most Palmer residents know from past purchases. Two types, creme filled and choco- 1ate-mint, will be offered for sale
