MISHAWAKA ALUMNI ASSOCIA-
TTON


Editor OF South Bend News-Times:
With the approach Of the COM
mencement exercises at the local
high school. followed Immediately
by the alumni reception comes the
annual awakening Of the alumni
members of Mishawaka high school.
The purpose OF this article is to
inform former graduates that the
Alumni association has adopted n
policy. whereby there will be no
more annual awakenings." but sim
ply a continuance OF the many &C
tivities of an enthusiastic. energetic
and ambitious alumni association.
This policy, in brief, as follows:
The Alumni association of the
Mishawaka High school. in contrast
TO its former policy of a "once-a-
year awakening" has resolved to
make itself an eyer-active organi-
zation. with the object in view Of
developing a spirit of fraternity and
friendship among its 500 members
Entertainments educational and So
ciai activities, are being planned for
an entire year; and II is very evil
dent that the association will be-
come an organization, which Will be
a credit 20 the city OF Mishawaka
Now. Mr.. and Madame Alumnus,.
what are you going to do 10 help
make this policy a success? Here
is the answer-lend your support,
attend all alumni affairs. Be pres
ent at the alumni reception Of the
Glass OF 20. Help give the gradu-
ates a hearty welcome. Persuade
your fellow mem bers to attend. Show
by your attendance that you APP
preciate what Mishawaka high
school has done TO make you a bet
ter man or woman and a better
citizen Of the city in which you re-
side.

Is beautiful. Ahem,
Mishawakans have reason to feel
proud Of the Fellowship club. With
out exception: It's one of the best
things that has ever been done for
the city and there is no chance Of
it's losing out. While we hate 10 be
invidiOus, as a rule, we are COM
PEELED 10 pay a high compliment TO
Melville w. Mix, president Of the
organization, for making possible the
fine banquet hall with a seating ca
pacity OF 500. Such an asset is a
credit 10 the city, and when Mr.. Mix
has crossed the bourne, which we
trust will not be for many years. the
hall Will stand as a ftting monu-
ment 70 his indomitable public spir-
itedreSs.
While throwing bouquets we must
not forget Charlie Ostrom through
whose interchangeable energy and en-
terprise the Fellowship club has
become a permanent success. True,
ne met with opposition when he
originally suggested such an organ
iZatiOn for Mishawaka. but If IL is
any satisfaction TO him he certainly
has the laugh on the other fellows
who were encouraging enough 10
say the city would never support
such a club as proposed. Charlie
has worked like the proverbial Tro-
jan for the success of the undertake
ing, and we say i'm all sincerity,
Hats OF to Him.
We had never seen Fred Eberhart
in the capacity Of chairman Of such
n big gathering before, and were
therefore surprised at his extensive

proved highways. from mountain and other
trails to the highest types. such as Portland
cement concreate and paving brick on con-
crete base. Since 1916 we have contracted
for the building of 13 900 miles and have
completed 1000 miles of roads.
"TN THE eastern states expenditures are
virtually limited to high type roads. In
parts of the South sand, clay or gravel roads
meet present requirements, and the same
is true of parts of the West The 2s, 600
miles covered by the program already for
mulated will use up about S152 900 900 of
government money, or three ifths of the
$40 200 900 appropriated by Congress.
Under the arrangement now governing
the secretary of agriculture, through the
Bureau of Public Roads. co operates with an
advisory committee Of the American Asso-
citation of State Highway officials with a
view to correlating the state systems of roads
between adjacent states and determining the
system in each state which will have eco
nomicauy the greatest Importance from an
agricultural and industrial standpoint.
AT the outset each state was required
to decide upon a definite system of roads, in
the construction of which it would ask for
uelp. systems were JnereupOn
selected and maps submitted to the Bureau
of Public Roads for approval. 1t is by no
means true, as has been alleged, that the
federal aid plan permits funds to be scattered
over disconnected parts Of the two and
half million miles of our existing roads
without regard to their Importance as ele-
ments of a connected whole.
"Up to June ] of this year 2939 projects,
involving a total of 2S,993 miles, had been
approved by the secretary Of agriculture.
The preliminary estimate Of cost was S3I7,-
7S7 .O54. of which S161 ,175 .oSo was allotted
as federal aid. On April l, 1890 projects,
approximating 1880 miles, were either
completed or under construction.

acres of national forests. lying for the most
part on mountain ranges of the West
Within their borders are $4,000 miles of
state and county roads. Improvement OF
these roads for public use as connecting
links in state sind county systems and for
the protection of the forests against fire is
of great Importance from the viewpoint Of
the federal government.
THE federal aid act in 1916 provided an

mileage of post roads. The expenditure
was to be spread over a period of five
years.
I'm 1919 Congress gave an additional
S2oO,OOO,O 900 for the same purpose and with
like restrictions, the spending of it to be
Jpread over three years. Immense? Well
rather. The states are keenly appreciative
of the help thus offered, and so eagerly have
they taken up their share Of the burden,
-evying taxes and issuing bonds to get the
necessary money, that already they have
accumulated a reserve road building fund
that amounts in the aggregate to more than
alf billion dollars.
The 10 per cent of highway traffic flow
ing across state lines has hitherto consisted
largely of automobiles driven by tourists in
pursuit of pleasure; but lately, with the
development of the motortruck, the interstate
traffic has taken on a commercial aspect and

WITH view to qualifying for the presi-
dency Of the United States, Thomas H.
Macdonald, the new chief Of the Bureau
Of Public Roads, was born in a log cabin.
It happened thirty seven years ago; and
the cabin was in the mountains Of Colo
rsdo, not far from Leadville. Little
Tommy's father was in business in Lead
Vile, selling miners supplies. He had
hay ranch up in the hills, and it was there
that the boy made his entrance into the
world.
His first ambition was to be a cowboy.
But, when he was three years old, his par
ents took him to Iowa and, later on, having
entered the Iowa State University, he be-
came interested in road building work. As
be himself says, he never got away from it.
Today Mr.. Macdonald is stockily built,
rather chubby man with a round face and
q nice smile. He is tackling a government
Job really bigger than was that Of digging
the Panama Canal. It is the task of making
the roads of the United States what they
ought to be, building new ones and recon
structing old ones, under the federal aid law.
which appropriated hundreds of millions Of
dollars for the purpose, conditioned upon the
understanding that each state should con-
tribute, for the improvements of its own
roads, at least a, much money as Uncle
Sam might furnish. In other words, it
must "go halves"
The states have accepted the idea with
great enthusiasm and are putting up the
cash. The government end Of the Job is

the importance of providing for it has be-
come greater.
There is no reason for supposing that
special roads will be needed for military
purposes, though in certain areas roads will
be required to connect points of strategic
Importance which might not otherwise be
necessary for the development Of the agri-
culture or commerce of those districts.
up to date, of the total money ex-
pended, we have spent 26 per cent for low
type roads, of earth, sand clay or gravel.
Nine per cent has gone into roads of inter
mediate types, such as water bound
macadam' and 'bituminous macadam.' Sixty
per cent has been devoted to the construction
of high type roads.
%Low type roads are so much less eI
pensive that the 26 per cent spent for them
has paid for 66 per cent of the total mileage
constructed. To large extent. these roads
will be surfaced later with high type ma
teral. The project approved and authorized
up to the end of March last will add 67O0
miles to the total of IA 400 miles of high
type roads that existed in 1915.
Roughly speaking, there are in the
United States about two and a half million
miles of roads. In 1915, one year before the
passage of the federal aid act, 90 per cent
of these roads were of low type, per cent
fell into the intermediate class and only one
fifth of 1 per cent were of high type, the
remainder being unclassifed.
Around many of our cities we already
have an admirable development of roads.
Detroit Milwaukee and Los Angeles might
be mentioned as conspicuous examples. As
time goes on, oil asphalts, obtained in the
refining of petroleum, and tars, derived from
the same source or from gasmaking, will
doubtless be used in increasing measure for
Jurfacing.
Zone thing I ought to mention, by the
way. is that the states are Required to pay
for the maintenance of the roads they build
in co operation with the government and to
keep them in good repair. Any state that
did not fully perform its obligation in this
regard will be in danger of losing Uncle
Sans further help.
From 1915 to 1918 almost nothing was
accomplished in the way of road construction
under the federal aid plaI- But program
was formulated for $4,000 miles of i'm

additional SIC, 900. 900 for roads in the ma
tionsl forests; and in 1919 Congress appro-
priated S9.OOO.OOO more for the same pur-
pose. Up to January ! of the present year
we had built 263 miles of major roads in
those forest reservations, many Of them being
links in transcontinentsl routes. and 00G
miles are now under construction.
The national forests occupy the most
difficult country for roadbuilding to be
found in the United States. Many Of them
cross mountain passes in the Rockies, the
Cascades and the Sierras at attitudes Of
a mile 10 two miles. Light traffic roads and
trails for fire protection must extensively
supplement the major roads. Even in the
most remote districts trails and minor roads
will be surfaced with gravel, disintegrstsd
granite or other ready at hand materials, 70
render them available for automobiles.
Our work in the forests will result In
the creation Of a magnificent system
of roads, connecting up with the national
park roads. Already we have made sccessi-
BILE to travel whole regions which hitherto
have been barred even TO the most sd-
venturous tourist. All the national parks
are at remote points within the national
arc opening up the Yellowstone, the Glacier.

Parks to comfortable invasion by pleasure

Unfortunately, in our efforts TO carry ont
the great plan l have outlined, we now
find ourselves obstructed-indeed, ! miFbt

tically puts a stop TO the transportation Of

The Washington herald., 1920-08-08

This trouble was prevented by spreading
asphalt or tar on top of the broken stones.
1t solved the problem until the motortrucks
appeared on the scene. They ground the
stone roads to pieces on the inside, destroy
ing them by internal wear. All over the
country, in we'll populated regions, our roads
are being ruined by truck traffic.
The question is not of number Of We
hicles, but Of maximum weight. One truck
may do more damage than 5000 passenger
automobiles. Run a big mogul locomotive
just once over a street-car track, and in all
likelihood it will put the track out of COM
mission. You see the idea.
Tests now being made seem to show
that our best roads of standard design will
not stand up under trucks with a cargo
capacity Of seven and a half tons, at all
events, in certain seasons. as when the
frost is leaving the ground and the sub
grade is wet.
" A NY city or town is built mainly OF
"A materials that happen to be near at
hand and readily available as. for ex-
ample, Philadelphia Is brick city for the
reason that great deposits of brick clay are
found in that neighborhood. 1t Is the
same way with roads. But there are few
states that are not obliged to fetch more
or less of their road making material from
a distance by rail.
up to the time when the federal aid
scheme was set on foot, any large program
of road building was confined ordinarily to
ono state ar a time Tho state under suoh
circumstances, could draw upon other and
