ll) Automatic Factories
should permit decrease cf prices
and should allow workers more
time for study and leisure. They
are destined to increase rapidly in
number. The printing industry is
already on the verge of revolu-

get along with a fraction or it's
present number of employees.
Shoe factories, colt II mills and
others will enter the push button

operation Will be done automati-

Congress can temporarily extend

s dependent upon us developing

The highways are reasonably safe. pro
vided the motorists who use them exercise
ordinary care and obey the State laws as
TO speed and traffic. Regardless Of the num-
Der Of lanes. a reckless driver will have
accidents. Granted that four lane highways
are safer VIC interject the thought that
SpeedSters still have accidents and the
death rate remains high. The reckless
driver would be a menace on wider. divided
roads for which we would owe 500 million,
as on the narrower roads free Of debt.
Truck transportation has added great
ly to the highway problem. Route 800 is
heavy with truck traffic, so is Route /. and
others in the state. Truck drivers pay No
more attention to the As mile per hour
speed limit than do the automobile drivers
to the SIS mile limit Enforcement Of the
speed laws is next to impossible 50 long a.
the average motorist persists in exceeding
the limit. If 55 miles per hour could be
maintained by motorists and IS miles an
hour by trucks and busses, there would
~
be increasingly safer.
Commissioner james Anderson and The
Highway Commission need more money tc
develop highways Immediately. If neces
sary, increase the tax on gasoline to exc
