It began as an inquiry into the status of the States road building program. but the original purpose has received little attention during the course of the hearings Most of the testimony given thus far has been devoted to one question: was there justification for removing Thurman D. Sherard as director of the Division of Highways.
 Lost somewhere in the shuffle is the fact Governor Egan decided to replace Sherard a week before the Legislature convened Sources close to Egan said he would have readily accepted Sherard's resignation many months earlier.
 Sherard spent 14 hours on the wit ness stand attempting to prove that he was merely "scapeboat," and that if anything is wrong with the road program the blame belongs elsewhere

HIGHWAY INVESTIGATION GRINDS ON

JUNEAU (Special) One night shortly after the special Senate investigation of the State road program began, committee chairman R. J. McNealy (D- Fairbanks) drew a hearty laugh from crowded gallery by ex- pressing his hope that the in- vestigation would end soon enough to permit the committee to leave Juneau with the rest of the Legislature.
 In the intervening weeks the transcript of testimony has in- creased by many volumes. the list of witnesses remaining to be called has likewise increased, and the hu- nor in McNealy's remark is fast evaporating.
 The Senate committee will com- plete it's fifth week of work tomor- row night and the end is not yet on the horizon.

to take one pot shot for the center of the house, and the rock was measured from the center.
 Utilizing this system, the 20 games in the third event were played of; in about an hour and a half. Joe Mclean of Garrison skipped his team to win by landing a rock IA inches closer to the center of the house than did his competing team. The womens third event was won by Mary Jones.
 Despite the warm weather, the Bonspiel was considered to be one of the most successful ever held. More than 70 rinks, made up of 280 players competed in the events. More than half of the entries were from Canada.
 The only blight on the Bonspiel was the warm weather, which final ly forced the Fairbanks Curling Club to install refrigeration unit at the rink on Second Ave to keep the sheets in condition for the games, which were held around the clock.

 Speaking in his official capacity as Party Policy Chairman, Kay lashed out at the bills as running contrary to the theory of the Alas ka Constitution.
 Real Meaning
 Referring to the oft repeated phrase that enactment of the mea- sures would take the departments out of politics, Kay stated What they really mean is that the par ticular Director or other executive wants to escape from responsible supervision of any kind
 Kay then referred to his own ex- periences with the Board System from territorial times. He recalled that he had served for a time "as 1 the Executive Director of one of them"
 Based on his own personal eX- perience both as director of de- partment headed by a Board and as a territorial Legislator, Kay pointed out the fallacy of the Board System argument.
 "No group of part-time members, serving few days out of the year. no matter how conscientious, can do the job of supervision and con- trol that is needed in these inn portant fields Kay stated.
 Rays statements put the Demo- cratic Party organization in solid opposition to the Board System in general, and to the two specific Board bills now before the Legisla ture.
 When the two measures passed the House several weeks ago, they had the complete support of Re publican Legislators plus minori- ty of the Democratic House mem berS.
