Show The Braver County News has accepted ac-cepted a Newspaper Association Membership in the National Highways High-ways association (Washington D. C, with which are affiliated two hundred hun-dred and two road associations and organizations. It stands, not for any particular road, but for Good Roads Everywhere, through the establishment establish-ment of National highways. The "Map Device" at the head of this column expresses our interest in roads, your interest In roads. It is the symbol of an association which for twelve years has worked faithfully faith-fully and hard for the dissemination of road, Information, which has published pub-lished thousands of maps, and millions mil-lions of pamphlets, in (lie interest of good roads, and which believes that the future civilization o fthls great country will go forward as fast and no faster than we develop our systems of transportation. The motor and motor truck have como to stay. The farmer of twenty years ago on an Isolated mud-wallow, miscalled a road, who today lives near a hard surface road and Irives his car to town and back in an hour where formerly he required a day, knows what roads and cars mean to him. Good roads mean prosperity; pros-perity; they mean progress; they mean a full life, worth living; they mean the greatest amount of goods purchased for the least amount of haulage; they mean greater profits from farm produce because they cost less to haul over good roads. Good roads everywhere mean prosperity pros-perity and happiness everywhere. That is why we have become a Newspaper Association Member of the Association which will eventually eventual-ly produce Good Roads Everywhere. |
