I “There were words for war and words for peace in the speeches preliminary and anti-climactic to |the dedication. | General Speaks Northwest Service Commander Brig.-Gen. James O'Connor, whose | men rolled the 1,630 miles along the route right over surveyors who were supposed to show them the way, declared before all present at the banquet celebrating the opening that “this is not a mere road to Alaska. It's going on to Moscow.” He made a prediction concerning when such a move ‘might be carried out but asked that it not be repeated. Western Defense Commander !{Lieut. Gen. John L. Dewitt, in a message read at the ceremony, de- lclared outspokenly “one does not have to be endowed with great powers of imagination to ‘be able ‘to comprehend the tremendous ad- vantages this highway now gives us in the prosecution of our opera- tions against Japan and assisting Russia.” He urged as the next most im- portant step, construction of a railroad from Fairbanks to Nome. Vice-Pres. Predicts Vice-President Henry Wallace re- |ferred to the Alcan road as not imerely an answer to an immediate peril, but part of an eventual high- {way “serving the new world from |South America to Siberia,” pre- dicting that in the not too distant future vehicles will, be driven from Buenos Aires to Moscow. Col. K. B. Bush, chlef of staff of the NWSC, was maAster of cere- monies. Acting - Governor 'E, L. Bartleu of Alaska, representing the Unit- ed States, and Canadian cabinet member Ian Mackenzie, represent- ing Canada, jointly cut the ribbon tended from Alaska Maj: Carl F. Scheibner, military aide to the Governor; Lieut. Warren Caro, Ju- {neaw port captain and acting naval |aide to'the Governor; District Ca- dastral Engineér George A. Parks Interior Department, and former Governor of Alaska; District En- gineer M. D. Williams of the Pub- | lic Roads Administration in Alaska. Enlisted Men Aid Four enlisted men 'selected for meritorious duty in the construction held the ribbons—Sgt. Maj. Alfred Sharpe of Montgomery, Alabama, and Pvt. Alfred Jalufka of Kenne- dy, Texas, represented the north- west sector; Master Sgt. Andrew Doyle of Philadelphia, and John T, Riley of mlt represe; ed the southern sector'of the htél way. Corp. Otto Gronke of chlcqo, and Pvt. Bob Bowe of Minneapolls, drove the first tfuck full of freight to Fairbanks and also were the first to pilot a truck into Whitehorse. A volunteer soldiers’ band played the Star Spangled Banneér,” God Bave the King, and the Maple Leaf Forever. Canadian representative Macken- zie predicted that the new road fleads into a territory which will become the “Gibraltar of the air” and described the joint good will evident in the building of the highway with “we furnished the sofl, you furnished the toil. We shall be brothers for ‘always and always.” Have Big Banquet At a banquet following the cere- mony, the guests ate e beans, and, Gen.

Grover Whalen, who popped up tat the dedication unexpectedly fcalled the highway a “road f | peace and good will for war.’ | The new road is rot pioneer by |any means, but more resembles the {well-kept county roads in the States. A feat of 10,000 soldiers and 2,000 civilians working six months, the road links up North and South |America. The job has been called |by many as remarkable and as great an engineering achievement |as the canal which severed the |Western World for water trans- | portation. | The primary purpose of the pro- | ject—a supply line from Edmonton |to Fairbanks, now is a reality Plan Haines Road Plans already are underway for no | f { | a distribution network along Alaska's 26,000-mile coastline Roads Administration already are at work charting a road Haines at the end of the Inside | Passage to'connect with the new highway just east of Fairbanks and Gen. O'Connor stated that “we are going to try to build it this winter.” This road would be 140 miles long, would carry water-borne freight from the Pacific Coast to Fairbanks for distribution. freight over the Alcan road already is in operation. With camps located approximately 50 miles apart, one driver will serve each route, driving both ways over the short lap along with others stationed at his camp, working in short shifts, Tough on Trucks The north’s below-zero weather already has played havoc with ve- hicle operation. A few drops of water in the gas will freeze a gas line tight. Brakes freeze if left on while the truck s halted. ‘But, nhd drivers are learning the tricks of sub-zero operation. Another snag is put forth by the unpredictable rivers of the wilder- ness country. The recent rampage of the Peace River took out 200 feet of the new bridge spanning its waters, but that is being re- paired, or has been, faster the several hundred other bridges were built and freight is now mov- ing along the entire route. The highway is being improved steadily while in operation. It v}as & job well done, and, Col. John W. | ‘Wheeler of the Curps of Engmeer: expressed , the sentiments of /both | Canadians and Americans when he | gave the shortest speech of thel: ceremony, ‘his “cold ‘weather speech,” saying: “To the gang who built the road—thanks a million.” The pioneering is over Thc housekeeping and expansion ha: [, {Stdrting “in Bdmonton, - ABérta the new road runs through Dawson Creek, Fort St. John, Fort Nelson, Watson Lake, Teslin, Whitehorse, Burwash, Tanacross and Big Delta into ‘Fairbanks. There was no shortage of cor-| respondents at the ceremony. Maga- | zine writers, feature writers, pho- tographers and newsreel men prac- tically filled an entire barracks. — e ALASKAN PARTY .
