Spring - and the highway calls.
Spring - and the weather’s fine.
Spring - and the outdoors beckons
And cars race down the line.
Spring - with a lot of cars out;
Springi Hear the motors hum.
Dear - if you walk the highway,
Spring \;hen you hear them cornel
Henry Ford says* "Labor organisations
are like spider webs - once the workers
get in they have no freedom and get nothing
for their dues."

Delegate Dimond is working hare to get
an extension of the Seward to Hope highway
built into Anchorage. At an expense
of '-si, 2 30,000 the government and the Ter
ritory will have something to show for the
money expended when such an extension is
built.
Enough army tracks have been transported
- one to a flat ear - over The Alaska Rail
road since the defense building began, to
have carried everything the bases required
without the enormous expense and delay of
transportation by railroad, had the trucks
had a highway to run over.
’.Then a Seward to Anchorage highway is
completed, someone in the Jar Department
and on the Appropriations Committee will
see that there will be no sense in spending
20 to 30 million dollars building 14 miles
of railroad over six glaciers and under two
mountains together with new terminal docks
and buildings at Portage Bay.
"To be prepared for war is one of the
most effectual means of preserving peace,"
said George /aehington in an address before
both houses of congress, January 8, 1790.
He also said,"A free people ought not only
to be armed, but disciplined; to which end
a uniform and well-digested plan is requis*
ite; and their safety and interest require
that they should promote such manufactories
as tend to render them independent of oth
ers for essential, particularly military,
supplies."
The United States produces two-thirds
of the world's petroleum; has two-thirds of
the world's refining capacity; and posseses
the largest oil reserves in history.
