accident fatality record is going
down, but it still has long way
to go before the Department OF
Territorial Police will be satisfied,
according to Superintendent A.P.
bob" Brandt and Officer Jerry
Williams, who is in charge of the
departments new operators Ii
cense division.
In 1855 fatal accidents on AL
aska's roads were 80 per cent
fewer than they were in 1854. So
far in 1856 they are down an
other 20 per cent from the 1855
rate.
The shot spot" for fatal acct
dents in the territory, surprising
ly enough, is Ketchikan, which
has only 35 miles of roads but
managed to kill seven persons on
them last year.
Four fifths of all traffic acct
dents, though not of all fatalities,
occur in the Anchorage area,
which as the Territorial Police
Classics it includes Seward, Pal
mer and the Glenn Highway as
far as Glennallen.
The annual toll of traffic acct
dents in Alaska, not counting lives
lost. is SIS million in areas out
side city limits, where the Terri
torial Police are primarily con-
cerned.
Contributing to this toll is the
fact, according to Officer Will
liams, that drunken driving is
four times as prevalent in the
territory, based on the number OF
operators licenses issued, as it is
in the United States as whole
If arrests for drunken driving
within Alaska's cities were in
Guided, the rate would be six OF
seven times the national average
Williams said.
The initials I'D" signifying a
license suspension for drunken
driving is the notation which is
most prevalent on the thousands
of cards in the master file of op-
orators license record in Juneau
The number of suspensions var
les from month 10 month, thi.
being one of the seasons wher
they are numerous. At this time
of year also many newcomers are
arriving in Alaska by automobile
For some reason a good many Of
them roar into the territory with
the idea that this is the Vile
North and that anything goes
on the highways.
The 1855 Legislature took the
issuing of operators licenses away
from the Department of Taxation
and assigned it to the Department
of Territorial Police. Under the
new system, the department has
built up a file of $4,000 cards
bearing information about Alas
kas drivers. BY the end of next
year all $4,000 of the territory's
drivers will be included in this
master file.
The new law provides that all
licenses previously issued by the

AT REGGIE'S FUNERAL
by r. H. Amphlett Leader

People from all parts of st. Croix and from all walks of
life gathered at the Lutheran Church, Frederiksted, and in
the curtilage Of the Church, because the building could not
hold everyone, and from the Church to the cemetery on We'd
nesday, March %, 1856, to pay their last respect to Reginald
"A. Nc Farlane, rs, an esteemed citizen.
Nc Farlane was one Of the best cabinet makers in these
parts. He was educated in ST. Croix and in Denmark, and
spoke Danish with equal fluency and correctness as his
mother tongue, English.
He was a teacher who loved to teach. At first he was a
member of the staff Of the Public Grammar school, Freder-
iksted, but afterwards and until his retirement he was at
tached to the Junior High School of the same town. What
ever subjects he taught, so imbibed was he with civic spirit
that it can be said he taught patriotism and citizenship while
teaching other subjects, for him would frequently lecture"
his class on matters of a civic nature while teaching, say,
geography.
He was a member of the Local Board Selective Service
System; a member of The New ST. Croix Savings Bank; and
always brought cheer at the meetings which he attended re-
gularly. Mr. Reginald A. Nc Farlane was the kind Of Of per-
son who csattered cheer.
mi. Nc" was a pillar" Of the Lutheran Church. And
SO, in life as well as in death, the Church gave this faithful
follower all the honors, ceremonies and rituals that could be
given to one of the laty.
Me used to say 1T is the duty Of the Christian Church
to teach the people not only how to die, but how to live
