The Wednesday Club of Sandy
Spring met last week at Lauck-
wood, the home of Mrs. Lauck
Benson. Roy Crum, local man,
who went to Mexico with the U.S..
Highway Commission, was guest
speaker. An interesting fact
brought out was that in Mexico
there are stone roads between two
and three centuries old with
stripe of different colored stone
running down the center! Which
should further confuse the contro-
versy over who first thought of
running the safety stripe down the
center of the road.
