Oftimes of late I have been
!wondering how many ladies, children
; and other fellow pedestrians have
been subjected to an undeserved
shower of good old Kodiak mud, that
;wa3 caused by a thoughtless car
Idriver whizzing by at a reckless
irate of speed. How often are people
'subjected to danger by fast cars
rounding blind corners at a speed
|comparable to a straight wide high
way? Little children and eldcry
persons v/ho aro not as agilo as
others may bo, aro flirting with
gasoline-driven doath, when they
von turc out on the streets of t hi
quiet little town.
Selfishness, rccklossnos3 and
the utter lack of regards for other
lives and peace of mind constitute
the consideration which some driver
demonstrate, in addition to endang
ering their own lives and property.
For the edification of these
•few drivers, may I suggest they
'road the following extract .from the
' Lav/3 of Alaska, See.5097 “It shall
be unlawful to drive any vehicle or
tho public highway, outside of In
corporated towns....at a higher
rate of speed than twenty-five mile
per hour •. .for trucks..than twenty
miles per hour, for trucks of one
ton or less....and fifteen mil03
'per hournfor trucks over one ton
;capacity.
Now for tho penalties for such
violations, Sec.5099 states i? Any
i porscin driving a motor vehicle at
a highor rate of speed than specif
jled, or in any wise violating any
iof tho said provisions....shall bo
j guilty of a misdemeanor and shall
upon conviction, bo fined...not
more than fifty, the f irst timo.*..* «■ j
l ot moro t han one hundred dollars j
the second offense and...not moro j
than tv;o hundred dollars each j
subsequent offense and imprisonment)
not more than thirty days in jail. .j
Lot’d not have the Commissione]
collect those fines, lot’3 be moro j
considerate of others, let’s drive j
a trifle slower. We’ll get just- as j
much done and while doing 30, won’t;
jeopardize the comfort and safety
of us humble pedestrians.

Deep appreciation and gratitude
is expressed to the many subscrib

Corps whose members joined the j
Red Cross 100$, whose individual j
incomes are comparatively minute j
with the average incomes in other j

It happens that there is no j
chapter of the American Rod Cross ;
in Kodiak and Governor Gruening »
wired the Chamber of Commerce to j
handle the matter, who chose a
person most capable of carrying on
