greet all her friends in town and
on the Naval station.

We also saw Johnny and Kay
Meath while in Bothel. They, too,
formerly lived on the base. Johnny

warm warm enough to en-
joy walking past homes with green
lawns and blooming flowers :.
Dahlias and roses are a riot of
color, while marigold and chry-
santheumums add their own spe-
cial touch of brilliance.

It was the 35th that started one
of the greatest roadbuilding prof.
eets in history, rattling into Daw-
son Creek, British Columbia, on
March 8, 1912 aboard troop train.
They detrained to set up camp in
80 degrees below zero weather.
Other regiments followed, or
came to the job from the northern
end at Haines or Fairbanks. That
summer, they learned the mean
ing of muskeg and mosquitoes.
When the weather turned cold
that fall, they found out the mean
ing of winter in places like Snag,
where 81.4 degrees below zero
weather has been registered.
The 1,630-mile wartime road de-
veloped into the Alaska Highway,
a road of destiny to many north
ern emfgrants an exciting road
to thousands of tourist, an alter
nate exit road for Alaskans, and a
route for inland shipping.

Wartime Road Vital TO State Today

Eighteen years ago on Nov. 20,
1912 the Alaska Highway, then
known as the Alean, was officially
completed, eight months and II
days after it was started.
The brief road ceremony at
Kluane Lake, in which the ribbon
was cut, with E. L. Bartlett, then
Secretary of State for Alaska, and
Ian Mackenzie, a Canadian cabinet
minister, doing the honors for
both countries, opened what has
been called Americas Burma
Road, and a real unique tie"
between Canadians and Americans.
Following the ending of its war
time use, the highway has served
as a vital link in bridging the dis
lance between far and near points
in the United States, with the big
ger cities of Alaska, as we'll as the
hinterland.
Seven US. Engineer Regiments
the 35th, 341st, the 95th, 18th,

Drunk Driving
FinesGOingUp

The price of drunken and
reckless driving in Fairfax
County is going up as the
result of a judicial breakdown.
Judge j. Mason Grove of
Fairfax County Court said yes
terday he hoped sitter fines
in cases Of drunken or reck-
less driving would lower the
number of such cases which
come before him.
Judge Grove said his decision
to increase the fines bore no
direct relation to a similar
breakdown in the District.
The judge also mentioned in
flation as another reason for
increasing the fines.
Until now, the judge ex-
planned, the average fine for
drunk driving has been Sl00
and most reckless driving fines
have been about $50.
Drunk driving fines probably
will go up to about SITS and
those for reckless driving will
probably rise to SIS, Judge
Grove said.
The judge added quickly,
however, that there was no
uniformity in cases and so it
was difficult to establish any
average.
The judge began his cam
paign yesterday when faced
with a docket containing about
10 drunken driving cases.
The county court averages
about S25,000 a month now in
fines. divided about evenly be-
tween the county treasury and
the State Literary Fund. Ex-
penses far exceed the fines
taken in, the judge said.
