SHIP BY TRUCK"
 WEEK MAY l7-22

The Advisory Committee, to which has been given the task of coordinat- ing with the activities of the National Ship by Truck-G Good Roads Week, and which has the indorsement of the great National Associations, the Ma tional Grange, and such leaders in na- tional affairs as the Hon. Charles E. Townsend of Michigan, Chairman of the Senate Committee of Post Offices and Post Roads, and many others, hereby issues call for the obser- vance of National Ship by Truck Good Roads Week, May 17th to 22nd.
 The cooperation of editors, teach CTS and pastors, with local organiza- tions, is earnestly requested in utiliz- ing to a maximum degree the new form of transportation supplied by the motor vehicle in the movement of men and goods. The waterways and railways can no longer handle the volume of traffic that must be moved. Daily six carloads of freight are of- fered for, shipment in five cars that are available for this purpose.
 City dwellers cannot continue to pay the present prices of foodstuffs. A national factor in these excessive costs is the haul from the farm to the town over primitive roads. The human family cannot live on the pres ent annual food supply. One hun dred million are now starving while half of the inhabitants of the world go to bed hungry every night. If the production is to be increased, the far

mers life must be made attractive, Nothing will produce this result so surely as modern highways. .
 The most important work to receive immediate attention in order to im- prove local, national and world condi- tions is to provide road beds suitable for the economic operation thereon of motor vehicles.
 May 16, which is the Sunday im- mediately preceding Ship by Truck Good Roads Week, has been designat- ed Good Roads Sunday. Pastors are requested to preach sermons upon the relation between good roads and right living, good roads and Christian prog ress, and similar themes. Everyone is requested seriously to discuss the matter of the improvement of the highways. The local committee will make announcement of how the week is to be observed in the community congregation. In general arrange. ments are made for films to be shown in the moving picture theatres, for public meetings with good roads ad- dresses, and motor truck parades and tours. I
 The purpose is to fix in the heart the conviction thatj the next step to be taken for the welfare of the com munity, the nation and the world is immediately to improve the highways and to inaugurate measures whereby every mile of road bed in the United States may be hard-surfaced as soon as the combined forces of counties, states and Federal Government can secure this result. s
