UNDER ALASKA'S SAFETY RE
SPONSIBILITY ACT—If you are
involved in an accident as an
uninsured driver, you must meet
the requirements of the Safety
Responsibility Act, or suffer the
loss of your driving privileges.
Purchasing insurance AFTER the
accident has occurred does not
relieve you of the requirement to
establish your financial respon
sibility for the accident in which
you are involved. You must, of
course, secure insurance in order
to retain your driving privileges
for the future, but it is necessary
that the uninsured motorist either
secure a waiver of liability from
the other party involved in the
accident, execute an agreement to
pay for the other driver’s dam
ages by installments, or post a
cash bond with the State in the
amount of the injuries to the other
parties involved.

Burial will be at the Belmont
Point cemetery.
Her daughter, Mrs. Alexander,
has written the following tribute
to her mother:
TDIBUTE TO A REAL MOTHER
Her desire was to be a Mother,
first
A close one like her own;
A real true friend to people
One who didn’t throw a stone.
She succeeded well for her efforts;
Her ambition will always live on
For it will be planted in other
hearts;
Even though she has gone.
She has gone to meet her creator
As those who have gone before;
She was planning many useful
years,
But her best loved work
was o’er.
She stayed ’til her children all
were grown,
And even grandchildren married
For tho she had to go from us,
Her soul will never be buried.
We know that she will be waiting
for us
In the Land beyond the River
Her body had to go to rest
But her love goes on forever.
Like her Mother who went before
her
The time had come to leave;
Can we only learn to “carry on”
And not waste time to grieve.
By some, great deeds are thought
to be
The foundation for a crown;
But the every day care and
thoughtfulness
Is like a bright star, shining
down.
Can we radiate her cheerfulness,
And pass it to another;
Her wisdom, love and kindness,
As a monument to MOTHER.

Alaska Senators
Denounce Use of
Ladd for Civilians
WASHINGTON, (41 — Senators
Bob Bartlett and Ernest Gruen
ing, said Saturday they would be
opposed to Ladd Air Force Base
being used by both military and
civilian aircraft.
Their views were expressed in
response to an announcement Fri
day by Governor Egan. The Gov
ernor said he was informed the
Federal Aviation Agency had fro
zen a $1,584,325 allocation for
Fairbanks International Airport,
pending a study on possible use
of Ladd by civilian craft.
A Pan American World Air
ways jet plane flight last week
from Seattle to Ladd prompted the
FAA to freeze the allocation,
Bartlett said.
“I think the study will reveal
that extension of the runway at
Fairbanks International Airport
will be necessary even if the Air
Force were to allow continued use
of Ladd for civilian jet opera
tions,” said Bartlett.
“I think this will be the case
for two reasons.
“(First, the runway at Ladd is
9,150 feet long and on either end
is the Chena River, so that for
all practical purposes it could not
be extended. This lenth of run
way will suffice for a 707 jet
flight from Seattle to Fairbanks,
but would not be long enough for
planes taking off to Tokyo because
of the additional fuel load. So,
even if Ladd were made avail
able, it would not accomplish the
purpose intended, serving as a
site for polar route operations.
“The planned improvements for
Fairbanks International Airport
call for a runway 10,300 feet long,
which is about the minimum ne
cessary.
“In the second place, if the Air
Force should permit civilian use
of Ladd now, the military would
still have priority, and in six
months a situation might arise
which would exclude civilian use
of the base.
“I don’t think the Ladd arrange
ment will be suitable, no matter
how appealing it may seem at
first to taxpayers.”
Gruening said he also had an
