Motorists Continue To vioiate Laws By Passing Stopped Bus

MT. Paul Lee, one of the drivers of the Seward School buses, wants to inform all driv- CTS that to pass a school bus while it is receiving or discharg- ing any passenger is breaking a Territorial traffic law.
 There are flashing yellow lights on the front of the bus and flashing red lights on the rear of our new school buses to warn drivers that a bus has stopped to discharge or load school children.
 Extreme caution must be used to safeguard our children and especially while the roads are icy.
 Article No. II, page 13 of your 1853 traffic laws handbook reads as follows:
 "The driver of any vehicle upon any public highway or city street upon meeting or overtak- ing from either direction any school bus which has stopped on the street or highway for the purpose of receiving or discharg- ing any passengers shall, bring the vehicle to complete stop not less than 20 feet from such bus and remain stopped while such bus is receiving or discharg- ing passengers, or such passen- gers are being aided, cross the street in connection herewith.

NATIONAL cHILDREN'S DENTAL HEALTH DAY

Few people are strangers to dental disease. The dental pro fession believes that the most effective approach to the na- tion's dental health problem lies in educating parents and teach CTS to instill the right kind of dental health habits in children early in life. Monday. February l, is the sixth annual National Children'S Dental Health Day designed to place the spotlight on the need for more dental health education for children. Today the Record, in coopera- ton with the Alaska Dental Society, presents the first in series of articles on dental health for children.
 Tooth decay is probably the most common of all diseases. Few people have escaped. Some thing like 95 per cent of the nations population has been af- fhcted by what the dental pro fession calls dental carries.
 From the beginning, dental carries has annoyed, pained and disfigured the human race. Loss of teeth, difficulty in eating. teeth shifted into ugly positions, even facial deformities are but a few of the ravages that may begin with an ignored pin-point cavity.
 Research has given dental sci entists several powerful proven tive weapons in the age-old fight against the disease. As these weapons are put into action, there will be little excuse for the appalling statistics that reflect the seriousness of the dental problem in the best fed nation on earth.
 Now, no child need face the usual prospect of losing nearly five teeth from decay by the time he is 21, nor a mouth badly crippled with dental disease by the time he reaches middle age.
 The preventive weapons are simple. In brief, they are as fol lows:
 1. Proper use of the tooth brush immediately after eating.
 2. A nourishing balanced diet low in sweets.
 3. Early detection and treat ment of dental disease to prevent more serious ills later.
 4. The Amortization of com munity water supplies as a den tai decay preventive or, in areas without common water supply, the application of sodium fluor- ide periodically to the child's teeth.
 It is the care that teeth re ceive during childhood that de- termines to a large degree an individuals de tai healt h throughout his life. Prevention is the key to sound and healthy teeth.

Seward Docks Included In Eisenhower Budget

President Eisenhower's budget as presented this week includes $2,900,000 for continued con struction of Seward docks. The sum of $4,094,000 is also sought for rehabilitation of the Seward Portage section of The Alaska Railroad. This information was received from Delegate Bob Bartlett in his Washington News Letter.
 The Presidents budget re- vealed that as of July 8, 1853, the governments investment in the railroad was $128, ,145,927, of which $19,312,403 was donated from other agencies. It is ex- pected that the 1855 fiscal year freight and passenger operations will amount to $17,647,070, the same as the current year, costs of which are covered by receipts of the railroad and are not ap- propriated. The railroad item is the largest fund requested in the Alaska activities outside the mil itary.
 Nine Alaska Public Works projects were cut from the bud get as originally requested in the $10 million sought by the Interior Department. Eleven pro- jects remain in the $5 million budget for APW. Of this, $4,430,- 900 goes to construction and S570,000 for administration. SEWARD WOULD LOSE
 PAVING. HOSPITAL
 The cut in budget appropria- tions for APW from SIP million to $5 million will eliminate school facilities at Anvik, Ju- neau, Seldovia and Nenana; water, street and sewer project at Petersburg; an addition to the Pioneers Home at Sitka; hos pital facilities at Valdez; street improvements in Anchorage; and extensions to the water system at Anchorage. The budget as submitted would also eliminate paving and hospital projects in Seward. The high school project here is assured under last years appropriation.
 Since inauguration of the au- thorized $70 million in Alaska Public Works program, $41,208,- 200 has been appropriated and allocated. The authority for the program is due to expire on June 30, 1855, and Delegate Bartlett has sponsored legisla- ton to continue the program until June 30, 1859.
 ROADS
 Road construction under the Presidents budget of S9,940,000 eliminated $3 million requested by the Interior Department to continue construction on the Copper River Highway out of Cordova and $10O,000 to begin construction on the Fairbanks Nenana road. The $8,840,000 figure does include $312 million for maintenance of roads, and resurfacing of Richardson High way, asphalting of Alaska High way, and continued construction of the Mt. Mckinley Park Richardson road known as De mali Highway, as well as the Anchorage-Elmendorf alternate route.
 The budget still has to pass Congress. It represents a 12 per cent cut over the 1854 budget anprOnriatian for Alaska

Decisive Measure.
One Of the most decisive meas

been q nonimportation noncon-

the Articles Of Association. To
give force to the agreement and
thereby exert economic pressure
against the British. local COM

every county. town. and city to
discover and publish the names
Of offenders.
When he returned to Mount

the first step in setting up this
