WILL ASH NEW PRESIDENT
TO CHANGE THANKSGIVING

Governor Franklin d. Roosevelt,
after he becomes President, is going
to be asked to change a 6S-year-old
custom in the United States.
T. H. Cash, superintendent OF
county schools in North Carolina.
believes the last Friday in Novem-
Der is better day for Thanksgiving
than the last Thursday and says he
will ask Mrs. Roosevelt to prevail
on her husband to make the change.
Cash points out that schools lose
two days OF class work on account
of the present Thanksgiving holiday.
He says too much time is lost, es-
pecially when the holiday comes so
near Christmas. He says if it were
moved to Friday, day less would
be lost and that everybody would
benefit

FOOL-PROOF RURAL ROADS

The fOOl-prOOf road is becoming
more common. Wide, built in two
sections separated by a parked strip,
having no grade-crOssing with other
roads, it practically eliminates such
accidents as are due to careless or
faulty construction.
How it does this is explained in
Civil Engineering New York;. by
J. l.. Bauer, State highway engineer
of New Jersey. He says:
"The aim of the modern highway
builder is to provide Il roadway that
will be convenient. safe, economical,
and scenic.
"The formula enunciated by the
tion, Safe vehicles, plus safe roads,
plus safe drivers, equal highway
safety should always be kept in
mind by the engineer as far as it
applies to safe roads.
"A new highway is frequently
planned as Il relief route to one al
ready existing. In such cases the
best practise is to bypass centers
of population. TO the town, this
has the advantage of relieving traf-
iic congestion in the business section
and probably lessening accidents;
TO the motorist. il means a quicker
and safer trip.
wherever possible, rights-Of-
way should be 100 or l20 feet in
width, and utilized for building road
ways with central space 20 to 30
feet wide, which is parked and
planted The advantages are many:
elimination of head-on collisions
and of headlight glare; provision
of central neutral space at inter
sections; safer crossings for pedes-
trians; and cOnlining of traffic to its
proper lone on curves and steep
grades.
"a turning circle at Il highway
intersection is not all new. In
many cities such circles have been
used for years. Such circles are
usually laid out on IL diameter of
from ITS to 400 feet. The greatest
advantage of the circle from the
standpoint of traffic control is that
the motOrist must slow down, thus
gaining full control of his car.
"Underpasses and overpasses are
frequently constructed on main
roads for safety, and generally con-
nections are provided between the
two intersecting routes.
"In order to handle traffic more
expeditiOusly and safely, New Jer-
sey has constructed number of
viaducts and deprest rOadways.
"On the new highway from Jersey
City to Trenton there is now be-
ing completed a viaduct that over
passes two rivers with fiXt-span
bridges at an elevation of 1856 feet
above tidewater. Combined with
that previously provided, it will OBJ
viate grade crossings between the
Holland Tunnel in Jersey City and
Elizabeth, a distance of about thir-
teen miles"
The three-lane highway now in
quite general use has called forth |
opposition both from engineers and |
the public, but Mr.. Bauer. thinks that |
It has a definite sphere of usefulness, /
on long sections where
travel is unobstructed and on those (
where the greater part of the traffic
is in one direction in the morning
and in the other at night. A highway
Lraffic-capacity survey made in 1880
and 1881 disclosed that the capacity
Of a twO-lane highway is 1000 We
licles per hour, that of three-lane
highway is 2,000.-Literary Digest.

Fruits and vegetables were selling
in dull, draggy markets the last half
OF January. Price changes were
slight and mostly downward. The
weak position was being corrected to
some extent through the lighter
shipments after the middle of the
month but the market was slow to
respond. Low prices, poor demand,
and weather unfavorable to market
ing slowed down the rail movement
to about 1000 cars a day, reducing
the fresh supplies of potatoes, ap-
pies, cabbage, and southern produce.
Potato supplies were nearly
steady the last week of January.
Sweet potatoes were in lighter car
lot supply but prices were irregular.
Cabbage markets continued weak,
quoting So a ton for bulk stock in
New York and Wisconsin, while $13
was about top price in eastern city
markets. Onion prices held with
under liberal supplies in
market and storage. Apple markets
have been fairly steady in the East
at the slightly lower basis reached
near the middle of the month. Posi-
tion of the apple market has been
weakened by lack of recent eXpor;
demand. The northern celery sea-
son is practically over.
Milford chronicle., 1933-02-03
Sweet Potatoes Unsettled

Supplies of sweet potatoes are
moderate but demand is variable
and prices have fallOwed an
irregular course in most markets.
The sharp rise in Pittsburgh in mid
January was lost toward the end of
the month. There is little change
in the general average of eastern
markets. Eastern Shore stock of
Jersey type sells mostly SOC to S5c
per bushel. Virginia white Vans
follow a wide range of 35c to zoe.
Porto Ilicans from the Carolinas
declined about 15c in Pittsburgh,
selling at zoe. This stock is steady
