Balmy temperatures and the prospect of an exciting race brought out a crowd of over 800 to witness the Alaska Dog Mushers Association 10-mile race last Sunday. The race, the second of five preliminary races presented annually by the As Sociation, was won by Gerald Riley, who drove the Lundgren No. l team home with a time of 39:33.
 Andy Jimmy posted time only five seconds slower at 39:38. Third and fourth places went to Jim Lund- gren, driving his No ? team, and Rosie Losonsky, with times of 40:03 and 40:40, respectively.
 A purse of $500 was divided among the first four finishers with S120 for first, 800 for second, $50 for third and $50 for fourth
 Riley was the only money winner in the eight mile race to finish in the money in this weeks race. He now appears to be one of the fa- vorites to win the Wescott Pfelim- mary Trophy, which is presented annually to the musher with the best total time for the five prelim- mary races His total time 10 date is 1881.

Up to the time the Guardsmen
were called out, the Tuesday eve
ming the storm hit, almost so new
men have been enlisted
Maj. Gen. Joseph J. Scannell,
state adjutant general, said interest
in joining the National Guard al
ways picks up when the Guard is
called on for either State of Fed
eral service
Last fall when three of our
units went into Federal service, we
had a rush of applicants" he said,
"but we couldn't take them be-
cause the Army suspended enlist
ments of new men without any pre-
viOus training.
Il look for the same result from
our State service last week This
time we can take new men, if they
can meet the physical and mental
qualifications now in force"
General Scannell said the great
est problem faced by the National
Guard has been that of maintain
ing public interest in its program
when there is no emergency. THAT
is the very time when we need a
steady flow of new enlistments and
the support of the public so We
can train to be ready when the
emergency comes.
"Once the whistle blows, Nation
al Guard units Immediately can no
longer take the inexperienced man
who requires months of training
before he is of use to a unit"
All armories have full-time per-
sOnnel on duty during the day to
discuss the enlistment prog ram
with potential new members. They
will also make appointments to see
