Virginia has announced plans
for two turnpikes. One would
be part of a four lane divided
highway running from the Great
Lakes to Florida. 1t will cross
Bland, Wyche and Carroll Coun-
ties in Southwestern Virginia.
The cost of the Virginia section
is estimated between $50 and $40
million.
The other is a proposed 5000
million toll highway that would
lead south from the Washing
ton area. It would be built and
opreated by q non-profit cor
poration.
Other projects more directly
affecting the motorist in the
National Capital area are such
projects as the Washington
Baltimore .expressway. The por-
ton from Baltimore to Jessup is
open now.
The remainder of this route
into the District is expected to
be completed by the fall of 1854.
A 10-mile section of the new
Washington Annapolis express
way, from U. S. 301 east to
Parole, was opened to traffic last
November. It is not yet known
when the entire project will be
completed.
A bypass Of Maryland's Capt.
tai is also under construction
which will carry through traffic
to the Eastern Shore over the
Severn River Bridge.
Traffic heading for New York
and New England will one day
drive over the Eastern Shore
Parkway which will bridge the
farming area between Queens
town, Md, near the eastern en-
trance to the Chesapeake Bay
Bridge, and the Dupont High
way (U. S. 13) in Delaware.
Five miles of the new Ma
tional Pike, between Washington
and Frederick, were opened to
traffic last month. The COM
pleted section runs from point
west of Urbanna to a junction
with U. S. Is south of Frederick.
Motorists driving north from
Washington can reach this new
section by leaving U. S. 24O at
Urbanna and driving west on
Maryland 80. 1t is expected
that another section near Clarks-
burg will be opened early next
year. The completion date for
the entire project is not yet
known.
Evening star., 1953-02-23

Aside from new highways
there are a number of other
projects which will directly af-
feet the motorist in the future.
In Jacksonville, Fla, a new
$11 100000 bridge has recently
been constructed across the St.
Johns River. When approach
roads are finished early next
year the motorist will be able to
bypass Jacksonville and its
congestion.
For the motorist interested in
taking his car to Cuba, a new
car ferry between Key West and
Havana is expected to be ready
in May of this year. There will
be three round trips each week
on the CONDITIONED ship
which will bear the name "Caribe
Queen" The ferry will accom-
odate 1000 passengers and about
$50 automobiles. Rates will be
approximately IS per passenger
and $25 for each car, plus tax.
Also in Florida, in the Tampa
st. Petersburg area, a new bridge
is being built to replace the
present ferry across Tampa Bay.
The bridge is not expected to be

Engine Efficiency
Increased as Top
OIdsmobiIe Feature

A completely new frontal ap-
pearance as well as new stand
ard and optional mechanical ad:

mobile.
Leading improvements in the
new models is increased efiicien-
cy in the Rocket engine. A
more efficient 12-volt ignition
system, Frigidaire air-condition-
ing and "pedal-ease" power
brakes are other features.
The air = conditioning and
power brakes are optional equip
ment available at extra cost.
Two items carried over from last
yesr General Motors power
steering and the autronic-eye
automatic headlight DINNER
also are offered at extra cost, as
is hydra-matic drive. Direc-
tional signals are standard
equipment on all models.
Three series of Oldsmobiles
are presented this year. They
are the Classic SO series in three
body styles-the four-door sedan,
Holiday coupe and convertible
coupe; the Super 88 in four body
styles-four and two-door sedans
and the Holiday and convertible
coupes. and the Deluxe 88 in
two body types-the two and
four-door sedanS.
Both the SO and SO are pow
cred by a 165-horsepower Rocket
engine; the Deluxe has a 150-
horsepower version of the
Rocket.
Trade mark of 1853 Oldsmo-
biles is redesigned front bump
er and grille assembly supported
by two oval ornaments. The
name Oldsmobile is inscribed on
the upper bar.
Both the SO and 88 series have
new stone shields and chrome
trim on the rear fender and
quarter panel. The Super 88 has
higher rear tenders and a higher
deck lid emphasizing the hori-
Zontal lines of the car.

open to traffic until 1854, but
in an effort to speed traffic and
relieve congestion, it is planned
to partly open the bridge during
the summer of 1858.
Unfortunately, with the OPEN
ing of new. scientifically de-
signed highways there has been
no lessening of traffic accidents.
Motorists tend to overdrive their
cars with the result that they
either lose control or else are
unable to bring their vehicles
to a quick stop.
Steps already have been taken
by the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Commission to reduce the legal
speed on the western half Of
their turnpike by limiting speed
limits for passenger vehicles and
buses to go m.p.h. This contrasts
with the 20 m.p.h. previously
permitted. The Commission has
announced that it will not toll
crate speeds in excess of the
maximum limits.
Other states with new ex.
preSSways open under construc-
tion are also studying this vital
problem.

When the first section of
the Pennsylvania Turnpike was
opened to traffic in 1910, it
marked the beginning of a new
era in highway financing.
No longer would funds for
highway building come solely
from State taxation and Federal
grants. Henceforth, many States
would create turnpike commits
sions or authorities which would
be empowered to float bonds for
the construction of key highways
and charge tolls to pay for their
maintenance and for the even
tual retirement of the bonds.
In those States which already
have turnpikeS in operation
revenue has far exceeded expec-
tations. Given the choice be-
tween using older, slower types
Of road and the newer, limited
access expressways, the motorist
has gladly paid for the difference
in time saved, comfort and ease
of driving.
Where formerly, for example,
it required an average of 71a
hours to drive from Washington
to New York, the present day
motorist covers the 233 miles in
512 hours, 113 of these miles
over the splendid New Jersey
Turnpike in 1852.
To match the 327-mile Penn
sylvania Turnpike, the State of
Ohio is moving rapidly ahead
with a toll highway of its own.
When completed in the fall of
1854, this addition to the rapidly
expanding system of expresswayS
will stretch for 214 miles from
the Pennsylvania line in a north
westerly direction across the
Buckeye State, terminating at
the Indiana line near Metz, Ind.
Indiana also plans a super
highway across its. nothern ex-
panSe to connect the Ohio road
with the Chicago area. Thus,
Chicago eventually will be
brought into close proximity by
motor with the Eastern Sea-
board.
The giant of them all, the

nectady, Utica, Syracuse and

Things Not to Use
For Antifreeze

Since memory often is short,
perhaps it will be timely to men
ton some of the ingredients that
should never be used as anti
freeze for an automobile engine.
Let's start with sodium chlo-
ride, ordinary table salt. Include
in the same category cadmium
and magnesium chlorides, or
any inorganic salt. Taboo also
are water-Soluble oragnic prod
ucts, such as sugar, honey or
glucose.
Bear in mind that no mineral
oils such as kerosene should be
used in the cooling system. They
are likely to be fuels, and as
such could be dangerous in an
overheated motor. This is quite
aside from their adverse effect
on rubber hoSing.

A Full Gas Tank
Paws Off in Winter

This is the time of year when
1t always pays to keep the gas
tank well filled at all times.
There's far less condensation in
the tank when the inside surface
is covered with fuel. That means
less chance of water getting into
the gas line and carburetor.
A full tank also has a beneficial
effect on rear-end traction which
is so necessary in slippery
weather.
A full tank of gas comes in
handy in a bad traffic tieup
which would use up fuel at a
rapid pace. Gas mileage is al
ways down in winter anyway,
and town driving is likely to use
up fuel much faster than you
suspect.

ordered.
Front wheel tread on all
models has been increased one
inch to SO inches. The frame
has been altered to meet these
requirements and bigger wheel
bearings have been added.

The lower rear axle shaft now
has 16 splines instead of 10.
Power brakes are said to de-
crease pedal pressure by as much
as 40 per cent and are of the
vacuum booster, hydraulic type.
The pedal has been positioned at
approximately the same level as

cation. The pedal is suspended

COnVulsiOns
Demand
PronnptCore
BY Angelo Potri

Josie is 9 years old and in the
fourth grade at school. She was
making no progress and the
teacher reported that she paid no
attention to her lessons. Only
when she heard her name called
out did she make an effort to
listen, but a moment or so later
she subsided into a state Of
lethargy.
An examination Of Josie's
health revealed that since she
was 2 years old she has been SUBJ
ject to convulsions that usually
came during the night. Only once
before was she examined by a
physician, who warned her par
ents to be careful about her diet,
to be sure that she had enough
rest and to treat her gently:
then, the medical man said, she
would probably outgrow the
trouble.
Any child so ailing will be dull.
School will not interest her, for
she will be weary of body and
mentally liStless. Modern medi-
cal efforts have done a great deal
for such cases and the earlier the
treatment is started, the better
are prospects of recovery. Par
entS ought not to expect time
alone will be a remedy.
In the past, children with this
trouble were not admitted to
school. At present only the acute
cases are excluded, and then
until the treatment has improved
their condition. Prompt medical
attention should be sought for
such sufferers and parents should
carry out the physicians instruc-
tions to the letter. These young
sters should never be called upon
to risk undergoing the ordinary
routine Of healthy boys and girls
certainly not until the doctor
has declared the child's health
is equal to it.
In many instances these chill
dren have been helped. 1t should
be remembered, though, that
school exerts pressure on chill
dren and even some healthy
youngsters find it firing and well
come the relief Of rest and
recreation.
1t is only natural for an ailing
child, whose sleep has been
broken night after night with an
attack of convulsions, to be tired
and weak. How can she pay at
tention to what the teacher is
saying?
In towns and cities it is always
possible to obtain medical aid for
these sufferers. In the small
communities and villages it is not
so easy, but there are always
physicians not far distant and
also district hospitals where help
is available.
1t is very wrong to allow an
ailing child to suffer without
seeking medical attention for her.
Teachers can help when parents
don't know what to do or where
to go, for they can reach beyond
their localities.

Modern Morrioge
Ruts Become
Danger as
Years Col By
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

One Of the unpleasant features
Of old age is the tendency for
people to become set in their
ways. If you come into Mrs.
AS home and start to sit down
she'll exclaim anxiously, "Oh.
don't take that chair. that's
grandpa'S chair" If he should
find it occupied, he'd be upset
all the rest of the day.
Grandma, in another home,
can't travel any more because
she says, II can't sleep except in
my own bed" In a third home.
grandpa always has to have the
morning paper first. His son-in-
law, who has to leave early for
the Office, would like to have
chance to glance over it, but
what's the use of hurting grand
pas feelings? The old man is
an early riser and nobody can
get the paper ahead of him. Per-
haps he merely sits on it, but he
can't yield on the principle that
he comes first.
Some elderly people recog-
nize this danger and make a de-
termined effort to avoid it. One
of my neighbors, a man in his
70s, made it a point never
to sit in the same place at the
dining table twice in succession.
I'm not going to get in a rut,"
he would assert. Perhaps this
was carrying an idea to ex-
tremeS. but his intention was
good. He did not want to get
set in his ways.
Every man and woman over
40 should begin to think about
the possibility Of developing
crotchety habits. and should
plan to avoid them. Study the
art of growing old gracefully
just as carefully as you studied
for your profession or job, a
generation earlier. Write for

the Later Years of Life" 1t
