HIGHWAY PARKING
SCORED BY A.A. A.
Declared Public Nuisance
After Numerous Complaints
by Tourists.

Parking automobiles public
highways is strongly condemned as
= public nuisance by the American
Automobile Association. according to
a bulletin Just released through the
ORGANIZATIONS touring and transpor-
tation board
The basis for the \. \. A action
is numerous complaints received from
tourists who have been both incon-
Nenienced and endangered by persons
who park their ears on the main
highways when they could just as
well drive on To Il cross road or open
space. il is stated.
In its bulletin. the board states
that it does not Sympathize with the
motorist who thinks he would for
felt d privilege if forbidden to park
on highways. because il contends
that he is not safe in parking where
there is high speed traffic and that
he really would benefit by being COM
PEELED To park in safer places.
Thomas l.. Henry. president of the
y A A. says that the number OF ac-
cidents resulting from parking cars
ON heavily travelled highways offsets
any possible advantages and that If
the motoriSt does not appreciate the
Importance of parking safely. leSis-
latiun must step i'll to produce de
sired results.
Hopes to Avert Law.
Ill iS hoped that this appeal to the
mOturiSt. however. will obVidte the
necessity for adding another law to
the already oNtrCroW Wded statutes
Mr.. Henry explains. If each mo-
toriSt would act upon the recommen-
daIionS OF the \. y. y. board. the
highways would be safer for all who
us" them and the nuisance of unsafe
parking would bc minntZed.
The following suggestions have
hecu offered by the A. \. A. board:
DO not seek main highways for
picnic purposes. Use the secondary
roads where there are plenty Of OPP
p"rtuRitirS for parking off the road.
In event Of puncturc. try TO get
the ear a : far "ff the travelled portion
OF tn" road as possible before chang
ina the tire. aud in no case stop on
n curve or near III" top Of Il hill.
Caution in stopping.
Never stop opposite a car that has
parked along the road. If You want
=" ask your WAY. stop Your ear at
least $50 feet beyond and walk back
to inquire.
Your are not safe sitting in Your
car Will" il is parked on u highway.
Furthermore YOU are Il source Of
danger I" thnS" who are obliged to
turn ont to pass you
If YOU turn into a blind drive VA Y
L" park. have the back Of the ear
- the main road. When your car
= facing thc road motorists may
think YOU are just driving into the
road. They may ma ite Il sudden STOP
before discovering that your car il
not in motion. and cars following
them may be thrown into Il series of
rcar-rnd collisions
PARKING 4 car at nieht on a main
highway IS doubly dangerous. You
never know what minut" tn" tail
light may burn out

The Basis of Thankfuiness.

The unqualified acceptance of life,
with all its mystery and pain, all its
labor and 1Ieariness apd yet with all
its sweetness and joy and all its latent
potentiality is and forever must
be the basis of true gratitude. the one
great theme for thanks. Unless you
are grateful for life itself you cannot
be truly glad for anything that lie
contains. But being grateful for life
Itself adds tinge Of celestial glory tc
every simple blessing and makes to-day
akin to tho s.aet forever
