Recent award of contracts for
widening 81 miles of the New
Jersey Turnpike from four to
six lanes sets the stage for con-
struction. The section between
Woodbridge, N. j., and the Lin
coin Tunnel INTERCHANGEABLE
miles, already is six or eight
lanes. When the project is COM
pleted late this year or shortly
thereafter, three or more lanes
in each direction will be afforded
motorists - and truckers - from
the northern terminus George
Washington Bridge interchange
to Camden, 81 miles.
A suggestion made in 1927 by
a high school biology teacher
has resulted in a four-day fes-
tival that draws about half q
million persons to a little Michi-
gan city. She suggested the
planting Of tulips as a civic prof.
ect to beautify the city. The
idea caught on. AS of now,
some 6 million bulbs have been
planted and there are 9 miles
of tulip lanes winding through
Holland, Mich. The Holland
Tulip Time Festival turns the
spotlight each May on reminders
of the Netherlands, such as wind
mills, authentic Dutch dress and
Dutch folk dances by high school
students, their wooden shoes
klompity -klomping on the pave
ments. This years festival will
be held May II through the 14th.
Reservations for rooms in guest
homes, cabin courts or resort
hotels can be made through the

Spread in Vacations a.,
A trend in industry is taking
some of the crush out Of vaca-
tons in the peak months Of July
and August, the most practical
holidaying months for couples
with children in schools. The
trend is to spread vacations, par
ticularly for salaried employees,
through the year. The policy
of many firms still confines va
cations to certain periods Of the
year. Not so now with the Col
gate-Palmolive Co., which is re-
ceiving acclaim in the travel
industry for making vacations
available anytime between jan
uary l and December 81. More
than 1000 persons are affected.
The all-year vacation eligibility
is growing and can do much to
spread out the demand for re-
sort accommodations and, to
some extent, ease conditions on
overcrowded highways.

The railroad trains are using
one track and apparently they
did so without jams or delays of
any kind. Some predicted they
would be tied up but such has not
happened. If the present plan
works they will save a lot of
money that would have had to
go into ties, rails, and other
equipment. 1t has been estimated
they'll save a million dollars every
year by the new arrangement.
Too much speed at Ginns' Cor
ner was again the real menace to
all using the corner highway on
Saturday. On three separate oc-
casions cars approaching the cor
ner at 90 miles per hour came
near hitting cars that were going
down the Pine Tree road. 1t was
a close shave on all three occa-
sions. The main cause there seems
to be the parked cars that extend
out so much, that anyone trying
to cross there cannot see what is
going up or down, and of course,
the blinker light gives them no
protection. No one seems inter-
ested enough to correct these mis-
takes and they will probably bring
about some fatal crashes at an
early date.

Agent Urges Caution
When Hitching Tractor

"When hitching your tractor to
an implement, your place is on
the seat-not between the tractor
and the machine" cautions Coun-
ty Agent George Vapaa.
"For disobeying this rule, many
a farmer has paid with smashed
fingers, a crippled leg or even his
life"
"In some cases the farmer
blames a grabby clutch for his
accident. Or maybe he thinks a
hand clutch is meant to be oper-
ated from behind the tractor
while he juggles the implement
tongue. But the manufacturer
didn't make the hand clutch for
that purpose. If it is misused the
tractor operator must take the
consequences"
"You don't have to get off the
tractor to hitch wagon, plow
or other implement with a light
tongue if you have a hook that
lets you lift the tongue while you
stay on the seat"
"For discs, manure spreaders
and other hard-to-hitch tools, take
the time to jack the implement
to the height after stopping
the tractor a few inches from the
machine"
Vapaa concludes: eff you think
you don't have time to take this
precaution, you'd better get out
of the farming business before an
accident puts you out"
