PREPARATIONS FOR THE
BOOSTER AUTO TRAIN
To Points Good Roads Boosters Will
Visit June 1928.

Gentlemen. 1t is requested that
all points Good Roads Boosters are
to make stops on their trip from
Fulton to Memphis, June 1928, will
have all arrangements made for
places for the Boosters to hold meet
ings, and have fresh water handy
for them and convenient places for
watering their machines; also 1t Is
requested that a rest room be pro-
vided in each town for convenience
of ladies who will ride in Booster
of ladies be appointed in each place
to direct them to same.
The Booster Auto Train is going
to be long one; reports coming in
from towns along the route as to
number of machines they will con-
tribute to same, indicate that there
will be at least one hundred and
fifty autos on the trip and with this
number of machines to handle it is
going to take system along the route
to maintain the schedule that has
been outlined for the trip. The
Boosters have not one minute to
lose and it is expected that delays
likely to occur because of confusion,
misunderstanding, congestion of
traffic, getting crowds together, etc.,
will be guarded against by the peo-
pie in all towns they will visit.
The Ladies Band will precede the
Boosters a few minutes at each
place. Each town will please have
a committe appointed to direct them
to where meeting is to be held so
that they can be assembling the
crowd with music while the Boosters |
are coming, so that when Boosters |
arrive they can get right down to
business.
1t is also requested, on account of |
Boosters being crowded for time,
that no preliminary exercises, such
as addresses of welcome, ETC., be ar
ranged at any place, except at points
where night meetings are to be held,
should those towns desire to do so.
The Boosters feel that they will be
heartily welcome wherever they go
and the time that would be required
to make welcome addresses and re-
sponses in the various towns on
their route can be better invested in
all hands talking Good Roads.
1t was promised at the Booster
Trip Committee meeting, recently
leld in Dyersburg, by the represen-
atives from the different counties
hat the roads over which the Boost
,rs are to travel would be put in as
GOOD condition as possible prior to
heir coming, and it is urged that
his be not neglected on any part l
# the route. The Boosters schedule
S arranged for running at worst IL
yer fairly good roads and should
hey encounter rough roads it would E
ither mean damage to their car in
laking time or they would be de- F
aged by necessary slow running
yer such roads in order to save 6
heir cars. All communities are re-
uested to have the Booster road il
ragged this week, fix up bridge
butments and do whatever other C
'ork might be necessary for Boost IL
RS to make time over.
5 In closing wish to say that it is S
} be hoped and in fact is expected
nat every town the Boosters will al
lake that nothing be left undone
} give publicity in their respective N
to this movement and
lat the Boosters will meet enor- A
GUS crowds at every stop on their
,ute. This is the biggest and best bl
owe ever undertaken in the interest
good roads in West Tennessee, 10
Id everybody should be glad to be-
,me enlisted in same. m
Yours very truly,
L. G.. NORVELL, Pres. 10
