However, in this instance, the
majority does not rule. It's
called a "freeway" only because
of the freedom of traffic from
stoplights and grade intersec-
tions. Access is exclusively by
ramped interchanges linked to
roads that pass over or under
the freeway. Almost all Inter
state routes (such as Lake
land) will be of this type. This
name is even applied to toll
roads in a few instances.
The Ohio courts have defined
a "Freeway" as a divided
multilane highway for through
traffic with all cross roads
separated in grade and with
full control of access.
Turnpike. In earlier days
there were many roads built
by farmers over which you had
to pay a toll to travel. The
way was usually barred by a
hinged bar which the farmer
swung open after you paid
your fee. This was where the
turnpike name originated. In
modern times, of course, the
tolls are collected on certain
state highways to pay the cost
of building the roads.
1t is interesting to note that
under the Ohio law when the
revenue bonds for a turnpike
constructed by the Ohio Turn
pike Commission are paid off,
such project is to become part
of the State Highway System,
free of tolls.

engineers, an expressway is a
modified form of freeway. 1t

along the roadside.

an expressway as a divided
arterial highway for through

of $3.50 to the final two of S25.

Asked to Vote
In the Jubilee's one formal
talk, D. E. Moore, regional
field representative for the Agri-
cultural Conservation and Sta
bilization Service, struck a hap
Ply note for the tobacco growers.
At least, Washington talk has
turned from cuts to increases"
he said, reminding growers that
the y. S. Department Of Agri-
culture had considered a 10 per
cent acreage increase for 1861.
The Increase was granted, but
S tro II 6 arguments for the in
crease advanced by Virginia to-
bacco interests make the flu
ture look brighter. Moore urged
every grower to vote in the ref
erendum on February %, with
the warning that Washington
might make some changes in
tobacco marketing if more grow
ers don't participate in the ref
erendums on quotas. I'VE had
