knows that the nearest way
home is a straight line. There
comes a story out of Michi-
gan that large beaver which
had apparently become mixed
up in its directions, was try
ing to get to some place, but
it insisted on plodding right
down the middle of the high
way and smack on the white
dividing line.
Several times motorists car
ried the prospective fur coat
off the road and placed it in
the woods, only to have it re-
turn to the aforementioned
white line and continue on its
way.
Finally, two kindly, but ex-
asperated, motorists (proba-
bly, members of Local ~
pulled a bag from the trunk
of their car, placed the truant
animal in it and deposited the
whole shebang at a beaver
pond not far from the high
way.

expresses the thought that it
would be better for all if
"tipsy" motorists could follow
the direction lines as we'll as
the beaver did.
