Today, the average cost of all COM

in 1926. By contrast, average whole
sale prices for all petroleum products
are I'D only slightly-and gasoline
prices, without the tax, are about the
same as in 1926.
That is a remarkable achievement
in the light of the fact that the in
dustry, in meeting an all-time record
demand, has had to expand it's facilities
enormously, and has had to pay the go
ing high prices for labor and materials.
One reason for it is oil's elaborate re-

local dealers.
Several items-tires, sugar and
lard, especially-are in demand.
Dealers report heavy buying OF
all these articles. Similar reports
come in from other communities
One merchant states that if the
run should continue he believes
rationing will be necessary. AS
might be expected, prices on
these items are said to be adj

One dealer reports that a car
owner with a practically new sci
of tires bought another round.
Another states, that several GUS
toners have asked for orders OF
500 pounds of sugar and 100
pounds of lard. Despite the heavy
wave of buying, supplies seem 10
be plentiful.

If an Injured Person

A girl was knocked down by a
coal truck, and suffered an injured
arm. The coal company offered
her 500 cash, if she would sign
release of all claims. When a doc
tor told the girl that her injury was
nothing serious" she decided to
take The 500 and sign the release.
Unfortunately, the doctor was
wrong. The girls arm soon grew
much worse, and finally became
permanently lame. Some months
later, she filed suit against the
company for additional damages.
She said she had signed the release
without realizing how serious the
injury was" But the court re-
jected her claim. The judge said
that she had signed away her
rights with her eyes wide open
and was therefore just out of luck.

proved roads. The flow of travel
over such roads dried to trickle,
and the states dropped some of
the old highways from their sys-
tenn. That happened to the Blow
ing Rock road.
*M&
We once thought of improved
roads as super highways between
populous and important points.
Our thinking has now expanded,
and we realize that every COM
munity needs roads over which
motor traffic can go safely and
comfortably. A modern hard
surfaced road now goes along
Elkhorn Creek at the foot of the
mountain from Elkhorn City to
Sycamore. 1t will, they say, be
extended this fall to link with
Route % at Shelby Gap. T h e
heavily populated communities OF
Skeetrock and Blowing Rock
wish to be linked again with the
neighborhoods along Elkhorn
Creek. And the Kentucky people,
especially those at Ash Camp,
nearly all of whom are related by
blood to the people of Dickinson
County, would like to become
cur neighbors again.
###
We all know that it takes mon
ey to build a road. We all should
know that highway funds are
budgeted and are not exhaustless
fountain. However, there are
three very good reasons to back
up demand for the reopening OF
the old trail through Blowing
Rock Gap. One is that it would
again link two communities, lead
ing to a greater flow of travel
and trade. Another is that it
would open a belt of highest
limestone for our farms at lower
costs of transportation. Yet ano,
ther is that this road would lead
by a magnificent scenery, to
which hundreds of people would
go every year, the Blowing Rock,
that forms sheer descent al
most to Elkhorn at the foot Of the
mountain.
We haven't got very far with
our project. In fact, we have got
exactly nowhere with the high
way authorities of the two states.
But these authorities are not
immovable. To move them, how
ever, we shall all have to get to-
gether for a mighty push. We
suggest THAT THE PEOPLE ON
BOTH SIDES OF THE NOUN
TAIN GET TOGETHER IN THE
GAP SOMETIME IN THE EAR
LY FALL TO GET ORGANIZED
FOR THAT PUSH.
