THE CONDITION of our roads is
not conducive to helping matters. The
writer drove through Maryland, Penn
sylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and
New York over the weekend. The
worst roads by far were encountered
in Maryland. With the exception of a
four-mile strip of dual highway lead
ing from Havre de Grace into Aber-
deem, the Free State highway system
suffered immensurably by comparison,
There must be some reason for this
neglect which could be counteracted if
the people arose in righteous indigna
ton and made a united protest
against this state of affairs. To put
it bluntly-Maryland roads are a dis
grace. Let the blame fall where it be-
longs. Maryland is not such large
state and it derives plenty of revenue.
It must be a question of faulty, ad-
ministration of funds and an inefic-
lent system of engineering. Rear
estate values are being jeopardized.
Lives are being threatened whenever
one travels over such antiquateu
roads. Shoulders are worn off on the
edge of the improved roads. Narrow
ard dangerous concrete speedways ex-
list. All tend to produce nothing but
disgust for the present set-up.

FREDERICK COUNTY farmers
are protesting in no uncertain terms
over the condition of home-to-market
roads. Last week an airplane dropped
circulars over Frederick City and
other points in Frederick and Mont
gomery counties describing the prob
lem thusly:
THE farmers demand roads-nos
alibis and excuses! Within few
more weeks the farmers of Maryland
will be facing another winter in the
mud and ruts of neglected roads.
Your children will miss school when
the busses get stuck. Rural letter
routes will be discontinued. The sicx
will lie without medical aid. Freight
ing equipment will be useless excepv
to those On passable roads. Tires will
be torn to shreds in frozen ruts. Au-
tomobiles will be wrecked in muc
holes. Churches and Sunday Schools
will be vacant on Sunday mornings
when the people are mud-bound. Pro.
ouce will spoil when you can't get il
TO market. The value of your farms
Will decline. And as usual you will
hear only alibis and excuses from
ofncials when you protest. How much
longer will the farmers of Maryland
put up with the cynical disregard OF
their rights? How much longer will
you pay 1000 of your school, tax
when only 300 of his schooling is de-
hVered to your child because he can't
get to school? Are you about tired OF
being fooled? Then organize finish

For the same reason you did,

Once more little Mrs Peter kicked
up her heels and off she started.
Peter started after her. Away they
ran, hpperty lipperty lipperty lip,
along their private little paths cut
all through the dear Old Briar- patch.
Mrs. Peter lodged in and out along
these little paths, with Peter after
her. Now and then she would kick
up her heels in the funniest way.
Peter would do the same thing.
Peter, being bigger and heavier, was
the first to get out OF breath. He

her heels and sat down, facing Peter.

us we are behaving in the most silly

What of it? There is no one
around to see us. Besides, we are not
the only silly ones retorted Peter.
What do you mean by saying that
we are not the only silly ones?" Mrs.
Peter asked.
Listen" replied Peter.
Mrs. Peter listened. For a moment
or two she heard nothing. Then a
shrill whistling cry reached her from
far off over the Green Meadows. She
prlcked up her ears a little more,
why, that sounds like Whitespot the
Marsh Hawk" she exclaimed.
of course it sounds like White
spot. Why shouldn't it? 1t is White
spot. He is back from the Sunny

way over yonder. Watch him. wish
he would come over this way"
I wish 1 could have my wishes
come true as easily as you are hav-
ing yours come true" said Mrs. Peter
a moment later.
Whltespot the Marsh Hawk was
heading straight for the dear Old
Briar-patch. Then they saw Mrs.
Whitespot also. The TWO began to
climb higher and higher in the air
until Peter and Mrs. Peter had to tip
their heads back to watch them. Sud
denly one of them came tumbling

Peter pretended not to have heard
that remark. What I mean Is" he
continued, silly things like kicking

Right then and there little Mrs.
Peter kicked up her heels. Yes, sir,
she did that very thing Then she
scurried behind bush and, turning
peeped around it at Peter.

T HE snow was gone from the

Green Forest it fingered in

dear Old Briar-patch across to the
Old Pasture, Peter Rabbit could see
a bit of white here and there. In a

Ten kangaroos are lined up in two
