TRUCKS IN PARADE

Mack trucks then came in droves. There were a great number of two- tons, then came at least a dozen of three and one-half tons, then came the next sizes until the brute seven and ne-half-ton Mack breezed along. Rec ords show that the Mack seven and one- e-half-ton is the largest truck made. Lawrence Pennington was in line with the Paige truck, and also the Acme. These two trucks were well represented and they are of standard equipment.
 One of the mast attractive trucks in the parade was the Schacht, made in Cincinnati. It was white enameled, with white curtains and trimmed with bronze colored ribbon. Frank Hogan of the International Harvester company brought out a great number of Inter national trucks. There were at least 40 of these trucks. some having been in use for years.
 Then came the Sandow, which showed the sturdy construction of this huge type of truck. Manager Cowan of the White Motor company had 10 White trucks; some of them were in use over 10 years. The government took all their output during the war and they were unable to show any new trucks Manager Cowan stated that the new White trucks would arrive within the next few weeks. The Denegre trucks was seen next. and while this is a new truck in use it showed with its heavy load .thats9it is well constructed anu durable.

SENATOR BANkHEAD


 At 3:3O the speaking took place at Capitol park auditorium, where Senator John H. Bankhead spoke of the neces- sity of good roads. Other speakers were Wylie West J. Ellis Brown and Jere Gwin, who spoke of the use of motor trucks and good roads.
 If, when my course is run, when my activities are ended a simple slab with the epitaph: Here lies the man who inaugurated federal aid for high ways marks my resting place, that is all the honor I want"
 These were the closing words of United States Senator Bankhead in his address yesterday.
 of what use is it to the farmer to raise anything If he cannot get it to market?" asked Senator Bankhead- Transportation, distribution is the most important question before the people today. It is more important than production, for if what is produced cannot be sold it is worth nothing. Without good roads the farm products cannot be marketed"
 He predicted that within aefew years, probably not in his time, but in the time of some of his hearers, there would be good roads all over Alabama, and that when they are built more local freight will be hauled over them in U uChS lAdH VIII Dt HdnuiSu Dy lHV railroads.
 Three brass bands were carried along in the parade in trucks and music was rendered throughout the long circuit made during the afternoon. The trucks that were represented were as follows: Two fire department trucks of the most modern type, six Signals and one Rainier came nexe more than 40 Pack ards rolled next, then three Sanfords, two Indianas and four Vims. Then the Republics came, and there were at least 50 in line, most of them being in use for many months. The Ford light delivery trucks were next. The Federal made a good showing with about 50 trucks, some of them carrying Fruehauf trailers and in one trailer there was a large seven -passen- ger Buick filled with young lady pas- sengers. One Federal carried an H. ton load. and another was 10 years old and still doing heavy duty Twelve Rec light delivery speed wagons made a good impression, some of them carrying attractive and appro- priate signs for solving the commercial delivery problems. Three Gramm Bern steins of the new type came next. Kelly Springfield trucks and Stewart light deliveries followed,
