me Mlddletown authorities are
again enforcing the BLOW Your
Horn law, especially at the first curve
entering Middeltown. Some who have
oeen caught aver that the sign dis
Played at this point is not sufficiently
attractive. On the other hand the
curve is very dangerous one and
careful motorists should sound their
horn for their own protection.

Burks and Dauphin Turnpike COM
pany to rigidly enforce the payment
OF toll on the Reading turnpike it
may be news to motorists to know
that the White Horse pike can be
TAKEN avoiding the toll road until

point to Reading the toll is only IS

is meeting with great favor among

the night stop at Lewisburg has
brought forth the suggestion that the
run be made trif1e longer, making
the night stop at Wilkes Barre, a dis
tance of III miles. The latter des-
tination having been suggested from
the fact that there will be more en-
tertainment for those taking part in
