Director Sours said there are
many reasons why it would be
unpatriotic to deface the signs
the highway department cannot
obtain metal for requirements,
the signs are warnings to mot
orists, the new Victory 35-mile
signs are aiding the war effort,
and finally, it is against a state
law to deface any road sign in
any manner.
