Show The "Food" Highway To the average city dweller, the word highway brings up visions of the expensive, high-speed roads that link the states of the nation together. But there is another kind ot highway that is of equal importance import-ance the road that connects the small towns and farming areas with the main artery of travel. Secondary, or "food" roads link Nature with the nation's dining tables. Over them come the fruit and vegetables, the dairy products and the cattle, hogs and grain that are necessary to the maintenance ot life in our great cities. Almost every state is now working work-ing on a program for development of its secondaiy road system. The need of moderate cost, full-width, waterproor-suriaced highways to farms and small towns has never been so apparent as now. Such roads are as vital to a nation's na-tion's social and economic progress as main highways. |
