This is but another reason why the
Congress of the United States includ-
ed in it's federal-aid appropriations
for highways a stipulated sum for
secondary or farm-to-market roads.
Twenty-Five million dollars has been
set aside for the Improvement Of
back roads through new all-weather
construction and proper maintenance.
It is wise, therefore, for those who
legislate the expenditure Of road
funds within the various states to
give careful consideration to the road
needs Of the farmers and others who
make their homes and their living on

The loss of your home by fire, if
you live out from town in the country,
can be the direct result of the poor
condition of the road that passes your
door. Farm-to-market roads that have
not been improved and hard surfaced
have habit of going to pieces in bad
weather. remember a. case in Della
ware. I was at that time engineer for
the DUPONT Highway. One night /
was returning by car to my head
quarters town in the south-central
part of the state. Rain had been fall
ing heavily, on and off, for about
three days and nights, and the condi-
ton of the unimproved road over
which I was forced to travel made
driving ticklish and sometimes un-
certain process. It was about seven
o'clock when ! sloshed around sharp
curve and noticed the red glow in the
sky several miles ahead. In that Sec
ton Of the state that red glow could
only mean one thing. Some farmers
house or barn was burning. reached
the scene of the fire and found the
farm family and neighbors using an
Anticipated hand pump apparatus.
They were all doing their best to put
out the fire.
The house was a well-buit two-story
structure and the family was frantic
over what was happening to their
home. was told by one of the neigh
bors that the fire had been small one
at first, having started in chimney
near the ground floor, and had gained
Roadway slowly. When it was seen
that the flames were going to spread
over the entire side of the house, the
fire department in Wilmington, few
miles away, was telephoned for help
and every piece of furniture and cloth
ing was removed to safety. If the fire
truck had arrived in the quick time
ordinarily required for the short trip
from Wilmington, the house would
have been saved. 1
We watched with anxiety and
pumped with fury, but the odds were
against us in our fight to control the
steadily spreading flames with such
inadequate fire-fghting equipment.
All that was left to do was to wait for
the fire-fghting apparatus from the
city and hope that it would arrive in
time. Expectant ears strained to hear
the engine roar and siren that would
announce its approach and smarting
eyes kept looking down the road for
headlights they hoped would be those
of the overdue fire truck.
The farmer and his family were
stunned into speechless detection at
the sight of their home being devour-
ed by flames that they were powerless
to extinguish. That home burned to
the ground that night because the
chemical fire apparatus from Will
mington failed to arrive. 1t begged
down to the axles on muddy stretch
of road only six miles away. No, the
road could not have prevented dam
age to the house to a certain extent,
but it was to blame for the total loss
of the house.
Your home, If you live in the coun-
try on an unimproved subsidiary road,
could be lost by fire the same way.
