( V The most striking example of what is happening can be seen along famous Route 128, the belt roadwav which larcrely encircles the city of Boston, It is known today as' "electronics highway," and has become a principal avenue ior developing industry in T" chusetts. To a lesser degree there is some of this at the outer portion of Philadelphia's principal express-Warunning northwesterly out of . the city. " But these are mere beginnings. The vast interstate highway system in many areas is becoming a magnet .for new industry, which is today locating close to master highways just as it once linked itself by spurs, to the great rail lines. When Pennsylvania built its famous original turnpike section more than 20 years ago, authorities thought of roads simply as y, " interstate north-sout- h be--lie- . j line . ' -- : These trends cannot be halted or reversed. Nor is there any reason they should be. Industry long since has chosen to disperse widely in this country. The interstate and expressway networks simply assist a process that had been under way r for many years. faSprawling modern new sleek ctories lining roadways are impressive signs of American industry's progress in a world of mounting competition. But the story has its dark side. This nation's massive railroad structure seems bounti to suffer more and more. - Rail lines are costly to build, and are handicapped by an inescapable rigidity. Where older established industries are linked to the rails, the' latter are hurt when the industries decline. And conversely, some industries are hurt because their shipping prospects are limited byV dependence on the rail system. We need a great, healthy, Useful rail network.'' .But it obviously is going to require tremendous imaginative effort on the part of government and business to preserve the rails' place in this modern transport age so heavily re- - .., liant on highways.

More recently, the Church of the Brethern finished a two year study of funeral customs. They warn that funerals have become pagan, and observe: "Temptations to spend large sums on flowers and expensive burial equipment and unneces- sary services should be regarded as inconsistent with the Christian faith." We have now reached a point where our annual burial bill is 750 million dollars. And it might be well to note that this is about fifty per cent greater than our annual hospital ball. For some strange reason, the family that couldn't afford to send grandma to the hospital when she was alive think nothing of shooting the works on a big funeral for her. Perhaps the big funeral has be come the new symbol of status. But it seems hard to understand why it should be necessary ; to bankrupt the living hi order to prove how much they oared for . the deceased It is also hard to understand why a funeral should degenerate into an opportunity to imprest friends and neighbors. : ; , possess great loyalty.
