terial and labor. and the fact that in some states construction programmes must be altered somewhat to meet eXist-. ing labor and material conditions. there is no tendency upon the part of the people to slow down in their plans to place tse nation highways upon a higher plafe in the countrys transportation system Tersely stated "they are sold to the heels" on the proposition to construct highways that will release rather than restrict traffic, and they are dismissing labor and material problems with curt instructions to their official servants tfat it is up to them to deliver the roads
 A curious fact in connection with con- struction problems at the present Dao- ment is that the building of roads is se- riously hindered by the same evil which they are designed 10 remoye-lack of transportation. According to authorize tive information, production is halted to a greater degree by inadequate transpor- tation facilities than by labor shortage.

At the shrine of the lion-hearted Amer ican, the memory of whom will never ding. the scouts will hold short service and pay silent tribute to the great leader or men whose fife was inspiration to the youth of the land.
 The third annual trip to be given th& Boy Scouts by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company will begin June 26 But as Paul D. Sargent, state highway enginer of Maine, and president of the American Association of Highway Off, fcials, pointed out in meeting at Phil adelphia recently, when the people finally decide to authorize the development of any particular road project they are prone to expect the work done almost over night
 Another feature in connection with road building at this time is the fact that more and more the educational part of highway development is extending it's scope. while at the same time it's primal source of activities is being concentrated.
 into a central and more effective orga.n-a
 zation, directed from the standpoint ot the public which represents the builder, the user and the taxpayer. The direction Of highway educational work along broad
 lines, is the result, according to the view taken by many of the highway officials of the public's determination to get roads built upon a comprehensive scale, eco nomicaliy and with the type best suited to each locality and adapted to traffic needs.
 OCCUPIES INIQUE POSITION As the national body around which highway educational activities are nlw being centralized the federal highway council occupies an unique position in building for better transportation It has a direct utilization with more than 1,100 organizations throughout the entire coun- try representing the public welfare and commercial interests of millions in popu fation. From those organizations, as their representatives, 15,000 nominations have already been received for member ship in the council.
 Owing to the rapidly growing use of the public highway as a passenger and freight carrier-both in short and long hauls-and in the lack of corresponding progress in the efficiency of the road itself, the highway from an educational standpoint has become a subject of much greater importance than heretofore, so 1 that highway officials national, state ! upon the educational phase of highway 1 work sn securing effective and practical l 9ouvusI IslgsIs 5ulogId 9Ig Glunoo pue 1 cooperation from the public.
