Miracle

WE have valuable improvements in the
" United States but our Interstate
Highway System is a mircale of the
Goth Century.
1t must be Travelled on to be appreci-
ated. There are sections of it around
the United States. many of them only
started, some of the super roads wind
up in corn fields - but the finished
dream is on the drawing boards in many
states, and eventually the roads will be
completed
Here in Ohio Interstate II, originally
intended to run from Conneaut to Gin
clnnatl, ends in corn field near
Medina. It is hoped to find money to
complete the projects sorely needed in
the Buckeye state with an increasing
use of highways every day.
Four-lane divided highways are I'M
der construction in many other states,
Texas New Mexico, Arkansas, Arizona
Eventually there is to be network
across the nation east and west. north
and south.
Highway construction is not as easy
IN many states as it is in Ohio which
does not have the problems of noun
tains and valleys and desert waste
land as have some states.
This is another examples of how gov.
eminent spending is certain to increase
taxes will be higher, because our nation
is expanding in every direction and mo-
dern highways are a must" on the
agenda of every state government.

afternoon. You can drive leisurely on
good secondary roads, enjoy beautiful

Visit Sayler's Creek

CPR1NG-like weather came Saturday
and Sunday for the first time this
year. Thousands Of motorists took to
the highways. So did we.
There was little pleasure driving on
the main highway Route 400, so we
turned off just beyond Sandy River,
went by Moran, and spent an afternoon
IN Sayler's Greek Battlefield Park. The
roads are in good condition, even if
some of them are not hard topped. They
are stabilized and the unusual winter
weather caused no appreciate dam

Rambling around the Battlefield
Park. we passed the Garnett House.
Double Bridges, the memorial monu-
ment to Wilmer R. Turner, who was
more responsible than anyone else for
the establishment Of the park. This
memorial is in the forks of the road
where occurred the fatal mistake, which
split the withdrawing Confederate
forcees, allowing the Federals to trap
a major portion of General Lees armies.
The action near the Hillsman House,
local point in the park, has been care
fully explained by makers. The Hills
man House has been renovated but it
was not open for visitation on last Sun
day. We would hope that this interest
ing shrine would be open in the near
future, especially on Sunday after

The Allen-Scott Report
Recaptured Coast Guard by White House
WASHINGTON, March Is

WASHINGTON, March Is =
The Kennedy administration s
irate breakdown on Cuban refu-
gee commando raids against the
Communist Castro regime is
producing embarrassing results.
One such incident hurriedly
suppressed by the White House
involved the recapture by the
Coast guard of one of the three
PIT boats used in Florida in the
filming Of the movie about the
Presidents World War II ex-
PLOTS in the Pacific.
The heavily-armed, high-speed
patrol boat. an exact replica Of
the PT-l9 commanded by the
President. was seized by a
group of Cuban exiles during the
movie shooting.
But this daring exploit was
short-lived.
The Coast Guard and Inmi-
grafton authorities intercepted
the craft as it was preparing to
leave a hidden base on the Keys
for a hitand-run attack against
Cuba. The boat was also to be
used to transport arms and nut
nitlonS to the anti Castro under
ground.
President Kennedy, when mott
fled of this affair. Immediately
ordered a tight secrecy clamp.
He personally directed the Coast
Guard to release the refugees
and to see that no publicity was
given the incident.
Producers of "PT-l09." sens
ing the publicity value in this
real life drama, took a different
view after getting their boat
back.
After a series of huddles, the
movie makers bombarded the
White House with pleas to lift
the secrecy ban. But to no avail.

basic problems involved. There

the right to an education is a
basic factor in the modern dem

uncompromising necessity.
Being an outsider ! see the
situation from a different point
OF view. Prince Edward County
looks senile, foolish, and back
