ADVOCATE MOTOR
TRANSPORTATION

AS a step toward relieving the ser
iously congested conditions OF the rail
roads, the Wayne county cc.ncil of de-
tense has appointed the following COM
mittee to look after transportation on
county highways: w. w. Keller, chair
man Of the county council of defense;
Harry Gilbert, county food administra-
tor; Guy ROBBIE, county fuel adminlstra-
tor; ]. c. Kline, county agriculture
agent, and Howard Horton, county sur
veyor.
The duties OF this committee will
be to devise means Of relieving the
railroad stress due to the unusual de-
mands and limited equipment, by en-
couraging wherever possible the use OF
motor trucks, a move that has been
endorsed and urged by the Indiana
state council of defense. 1t will also
be the committees business to plan
to secure the repair or improvement
where necessary of the main highways.
The following important war advan-
tages which may result in the encour
agement of motor transport service,
are outlined:
Production is stimulated. Farmers
invariably increase the variety and
quantity Of their production when reg
ular market facilities are made avail
able. In every section studied, a
great increase in the variety and the
amount of production followed the es
adjustment Of the rural express.
The farmers are relieved of theil
task of hauling their products to mar
ket, and the existing farm labor sup
ply is thereby greatly conserved. Some
instances show that hauling done BY
five men with wagons can be done
with one man and truck at greater
speed.
Additional food is made available BY
tapping the farm communities whicf
have no other good shipping facilities
Much of this additional food is nov
either wasted or deteriorates because
OF poor shipping facilities.
