Hie Road Budget
Tlie people of the United States, according to the Ameri- fkrniBureau Federation, have realized that the coii- """Spn and maintenance of roads Is an essential part of Sr economic development.
^The taxpayers of the nation spend about tl,290,110,832
ntt^y (or building roads.     During 1939, 25.971 miles of
ESuiMre built and surfaced by state highway departments,
pvhapa no other public expenditure brings greater ..--IrJ^rf returns— both In the tangible form of increas- itZiSaam and flnanctal proaperity, and the intengible form S Miter comfort and convtnience—than money apent for "-ST m times Uke the present road work U of particular ISm' Inwat it not only benefits the communities where de- !?SL.«nto are underway, but in that It Is a sound way of re- !Z^ unemployment, stimulating business, and putting '0^ Into clroulatlon.
¦bwerar It moit be remsmbered that no road woric 1 be undertaken frlthout the greatest care and study. have been too many miles of "political" road built in M eountry. Those entnisted with the spending of highway SZtadiould give every effort to bringing their territories S^^Mtest possible mileage of improved road that the bud- ¦t ml allow. They should work to keep a fair relation be- MMi mileage of tUgh-type main highway and inexpensive, i^Mviceable, secondary, farm-to-market roads. Other- t waste will be the Inevitable result.
The Inquiring Mind
The world is full of good talkers, who keep conversation aolni whether they say anything or not. There are not so Sanr good thinkers, who Intjuire into the facts about every- Sllng. Being scarce, these folks are valuable.
Don't hush up your son on the railroad train, when he aAs what those steel rails are for any what that locomotive ft^otng The passengers may laugh at his shrill voice and Zrious face, but he may be a future railroad manager. Boys irbo seek real knowledge are scarce.   Encourage them.
Don't silence your yoimg daughter, when she asks you to define some word you have used. She may be a future col- 1^ president Her desire for absolute truth is a trait that la^ people In high positions.
There are many impressive looking folks who do not know the real facts about anything. They are not much in demand Tlie quiet person, with an inquiring mind stored with information. Is the one who does the big work.
Candidates For Speal(er
Congressmen John Q. Ttlson and Bertrand O Snell have announced themselves as candidates for Speaker of the next House of Representatives, These are the flrst of the Re¬ publican aspirants to get their hats in the ring. One of thtm may be elected, or the plum may fall to the Demo¬ cratic choice. Congressman Garner of Texas.
The Republicans are going to be in a bad way unless they capture the next House, because the failure to do so will leave Congress in control of the Democrats; who. of coune will improve their opportunities to defeat the Ad- nlnlstration on important occasions.
The Progressives will hold the balance of power In both branches, regardless of who does the organizing.
Hone Town Thoughts
Community life is called a partnership.   To draw dlvld- of progress, invest time and effort In home town causes.
Our home town gives most of us our prosperity. Look out bow you injure that prosperity by spending money else¬ where.
A public movement, to accomplish its ends, has to tell tte people about Its efforts through the newspapers. Also if a bualneas is to grow, it needs to tell the people about its I through advertising.

Harrisburg. May 6—Extreme cau¬ tion with flre along highways an4 at the bottom of mountain slopes, was urged today in a statement by Secretary Lewis E Staley of the Penasylvania Department of Forests and Waters.
The highways of the State present particularly dangerous places for the inception of forest fires, said Secre¬ tary SUley, and the hazard is great¬ ly Increased wherever roads are bor¬ dered by woodlands. The danger of serious forest fires U greatly aug¬ mented in cases where steep moun¬ tain slopes descend to the right of way, for it is here that the fires gain most rapid headway and burn most furiously.
Fields along the roadside do not necessarily afford the protection against forest fires that many per¬ sons suppose. When dry conditions prevail as at present, the grassy fields burn Just as easily as the leav¬ es In the woods, and it commonly happens that many forest fires ori¬ ginate in adjoining fields, where the passerby carelessly flicked a clgaret or tossed an unextinguished match.
