KEYSTONE CLUB OPPOSES d.
VERSION OF HIGHWAY
FUNDS

Keystone Automobile Clubs big
meeting in Philadelphia Convention
Hall Tuesday night March %, at
tracted more than $1,000 motorists,
who cheered, demands that motor
list taxation be put to it's proper uses
in highway building and highway
safety.
C. Townley Larzelere, VicePresi
dent of the Club, who presided in
the absence of President j. Borton
Weeks, declared that safety de-
mands the best that highway build
ers have to offer. Diversion of high
way funds to other channels. it was
declared, is one of the chief draw
backs to highway modernization.
"There is need, he said, "for vast
improvement in the highways of
Pennsylvania and Maryland In
Pennsylvania we are just emerging
from an era of obsolete road build
ing New Jersey is far ahead in
modernization of it's highways, but
the pernicious practice of diverting
motorists tax funds to general pur-
poses has literally robbed the mo-
torist of many seriously needed inn
provem9nts. Maryland has made a
start on modernization, but use
of funds for many unrelated pur-
poses has prevented an extensive
program of highway improvements. =
j. Maxwell Smith, Secretary of
the Club, reported that Keystone's
Motor Patrol travelled 216,9o5 miles
last year, giving assistance to 49,
487 motorists In addition tc aiding
individual drivers, assistance was
given to the authorities in the handl-
ing of traffic emergencies. The Pub
lie Safety Departments work en-
braced more than 900 schools, with

Would Acquire Birth Place
OF Robert Fulton

State Representative Norman
Wood of Lancaster county has intro
duced bill to provide that the State
of Pennsylvania acquire the birth
place of Robert Fulton, whose
steamboat revolutionized commerce
and navigation.
The measure carries an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the purchase OF
the landmark, located in souther
Lancaster County on the Robert
Fulton highway, and an additional
$4,000 for restoration and malnte-
nance as a State shrine.
Representative Wood said he
would seek enactment this year in
the hope that the property could be
taken over next year, when 1t Will
be ITS years since Fulton was born
and 125 years since he died.
Fulton House" is already mucn
admired by tourists between Lam
caster and Baltimore. A sturdy
stone structure it contains two broad
parlors, and with wide fireplace
and crane swing where ROBERT
Fulton's father laid the logs.
"Fulton is one of Pennsylvania
most distinguished sons" Wood de-
clared. "He was artist, engineer,
mechanic, inventor, prophet. states
man and genius of the first mag
nitude. His statue is, one OF the two
from the State in Statuary Hall in
the National Capitol, and it is MT
ting that we honor his birthplace
"Strickly speaking, Fulton did not
invent the steamboat. But his nlcne
in the hall of fame was won because
he was the first to- impress upon the
world the possibilities of commerce
and passenger service being carried
on by steam, regardless of wind and
current. The 'Clermont, going up
the Hudson to Albany, assured the
future of steam navigation.
Robert Fulton was an interna-
tional figure. He built p.unging
boat, the forerunner of the subma-
rine, in France. Under Premlers
Pitt and Melville he experimental
on destructive types of engines IN
England. He launched the first
steam war vessel of the world, Full
ton the First the year before ne
died.
"His painting of miniatures and
portraits has aroused the sdmira-
ton of artists. Yet his inventive
mind was ever at work. He devel-
oped a marble saving machine, an
apparatus for spinning flax, rope
making machine, a mechnical dredg-
er and power shovel, and improve
ments on canal locks"
Fulton's birthplace is now occu-
pied by the Joseph Swift family, dis
tant relatives of the inventor. The
building and it's 127-acres farm lies
in Fulton township, which is named
for him. Woods bill will suggest its
acquisition by purchase, gift OF
lease. Maintenance by the State
Historical Commission is planned.
"Fulton county is named for Full
ton," Wood said. $50 is street, a
market, q theatre, and a bank in
Lancaster. The Lions international
and local historians have endorsed
the establishment of his birthplace
as a State-owned landmark and
.reAasylvania would honor itself by
honoring him. "-Quarryville Sun.
