HlGHLANDERS IMPROVE ROADS

Days Labor-Other Highland
News

Monday was coed Roads Day" with
the Highlanders. Everyone turned out
with shovel, pick and crowbar and as a
result most of the rocks and loose stones
were removed from the principal roads.
Some team work was also done in the
way of taking off the knobs and filling
the low places and as result the roads
are much more passable than before.
Several of the business men in town
either put on man for the work or
"came through" with the equivalent
which enabled us to get much more
done than would have been possible
otherwise.
