forests, snoW-capped mountains,
canyons, roaring rivers and mir
ror lakes! No other highway in
the world offers such wealth of
unique and varied attractions.
For Southerners a summer in
the 'Land of Snowy Peaks and
Big Red Apples" is a lifetime ex-
perience.
And several millions of North
westerners have never exper-
fenced the Tech Country, Natchez,
the French Quarter, Mardi Gras,
the Gulf Coast, Bellingrath Gar
dens and the Florida beaches and
citrus groves.
Before the war an increasing
number of NorthWesterners were
making winter trips to Florida,
by rail, because of northern SHOWS
and Billiards, through Chicago
and Cincinnati, thus missing the
Gulf Coast entirely. Over this
northwest southwest trans con-
tinental highway many would
make the Florida trip by car, thus
through the Gulf Coast.
BY taking delivery on q new
car at the factory q northwest
buyer gets q reduction in price
of about $170.00-which goes far
toward meeting travelling costs.
The big demand for new cars Il
from November to March, the
time Of low temperatures, SHOWS
and Billiards in the Northern
Rockies and plains. From Detroit
to Cincinnati is 265 miles-and
once across the Ohio the new car
owner is out Of the blizzard area
and on his way for q tour Of the
Deep South and return to the
Northwest over the northwest

4. Trade and Tourists: Tourist
consumption Is big business.

Of facts, conditions, causes and

z. The Highway Of Interna-
tional Good win and Fellowship:
From Patagonia to Alaska and by

China and Russia! Intelligent
travel brings the realization that

Ex-Service Men
As Civilians

The Men in the Service column
which has been carried in The Repuh-
lican during the war. grew from four
or five inches when it was first
started, to two and three columns in
length, and its reader interest has
been greater than any other single de

in the newspaper features.
There IS still the same amount Of
interest in this column and many
items are placed there each week. But
dozens Of Garrett county soldiers and

every day.
Feeling that interest in these boys
will still continue, as to what happens
to them in civilian life what Jobs they
fill, if they return to the job they had

This column is intended for that
purpose. Subscribers and others are

considering, even though it might prove that it can only be accom- plished by having the board meet and adjourn until such time as all is in readiness.
 In presenting his budget, at the opening of the session, the mayor declared that a large part of the increase over previous years is due to certain projects that had been scheduled for postwar and which have now become pressing. Repairs to the City Dock and Boat Harbor, to the streets, sewers and salt water mains, all of which are now in very bad condition, were among instances cited by the mayor. These can no longer be considered post var projects, having now become immediate necessities, he said.
 Schools Not Crowded
 To only one of the m ayor' s statements regarding city needs was exception taken. R. E. Robert son. School Board President, denied that the city's schools are over- crowded On the contrary, he de- clared that if the Alaska Juneau mine does not open at the close of the war, there will be schoolrooms to spare. To keep Juneau on the upgrade, new industries are needed, he averred, and we won't get them ty raising taxes.
 Largest individual increases in maintenance items listed by the mayor in his budget were proposed for the Boat Harbor and City Dock; Boat Harbor repairs to in- clude improvements to the Upper City Float. The two items would total nearly S8,O00
 The mayor stressed the evil in the prevailing practice of running the city into debt between the time of peak expenditures in the spring of the year and when tax revenues begin to roll in, in the fall. The city is now operating on S60,000 of borrowed money on which six per cent interest is being paid and which must come out of next years budget, he pointed out
