 The state highway departments big
 motor driven snow blows did fine ser vice at the week end in clearing away 1 the fall of snow from the state high | ways all through this section Of the
 county. The blows are attached, by an ingenious device, to the front end of big motor trucks. which buzz along and push the snow to the sides of the ! highway, leaving, a smooth surface for
 traffic. A little snow is left over the l highway surface. but two days of
 comparatively warm weather would be
 sufficient to melt this snow away and
 leave the hard road surface that the
 motorist is accustomed to in milder
 seasons of the year.
