Fields, president of the Blah* County Motor Club. "As the official representative of motorists in thht vicinity the Blair Motor club has always watched closely the progress of the* state's highway system. Improvement of highway and safety thereon is the objective for which motorists pay their highway taxes. They pay them, too, to the belief that reads suitable and adequate for the safe movement of modern - traffic, will be built. They are aware that satisfactory secondary and rural roads, arterial routes though cities, bypasses of congested centers are needed throughout the state. They know that roads of general .use are of first importance. That is why they are demanding that the results of the recent state-wide traffic survey be formulated Into a long-range program of development, whose administration and conduct shall be wholly divorced from politics. "There have been instances in Pennsylvania of ill-advised and uneconomic allocations of highway funds among the various classes of highways. Road funds have been diverted under the guise of borrowings. Hit-or-miss highway construction and improvement have been often the rule. But today the motorist Insists that a sane, sensible road policy ia the only answer to the highway needs of the state. One need go no further than over route No. 220 to Tyrone to find justiilcation for these needs. Obsolete, worn-out stretches, fall of face tha motorist Ptmnsyt- ,000 motorists mast travel, have not kept pace With the tremendous growth of use of the motor vehicle. "Investigations have shown the need for widening reconstruction of more than 1,500 miles of Pennsylvania's main highways, improvement of 700 miles of secondary roads, construction of some 500 miles of by-passes to relieve congested centers, elimination of many dangerous grade crossings, aa well as betterment of hundreds of miles of strictly rural roads. Because of these needs, we believe that highway funds must be apportioned in accordance with the importance of the roads to be improved, and that roads must be built that will not ea t up the motor income of the state through maintenance costs. Also because of the tremendous miietagie of roads now upon the state highway system, motor taxes must be expanded with the utmost economy and upon the soundest and best engineering principles. "The Blair Motor club, therefore, is determined tr use its united strength in every possible way to see to it Jhat cur motor and gasp line taxes are spent ta this wise, so that the full benefits of safe, modern highways are returned to those who actually pay the highway bill of Pennsylvania." * i * —Now that tiie primary election is over we may expect to get some real news in the newspapers. —Last Monday the Keyston*. Lumber company with a yard and mill on North Tuckahoe street, received a car load of lumber from the hill*' of Idaho.. It waa the finest lumber to eome from that state. The freight on the car load amounted to over five, hundred dollars. Tfee Keystone Lumber company, of which Ralph Varner is general manager, will use it ta construction of houses and other buildings. ton and Lloyd Cessna, both of Canton, O., Paul Cessna, of Bellwood, Mrs. Leo'ta Lebo of Altoona, and Mrs. Mary Miller of Bellwood, and one brother, Ambrose Cessna, of Cumberland, Md., his wife Carrie R. Cessna, died Sept 6, 1937. Mr. Cessna was a member of the Lutheran church. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2.S0 o.clock, to charge of Rev. Russell P.

MODERN GAMBLING CRAZE The United States is plagued with three distinct erases, namely: the drink erase, the divorce craze and tfee gambling craze. A Roman Catholic bishop of the middle west declares that all forms of petty gambling to his diocese must cease. Gambling has gripped tha American people as it haa the people of r. i nations. The bingo philosophy :-.? life does not square with the W of God. The exhortation of / writ is to provide things boner in the sight of all men. A mome. s reflection will convince 'us that, craze is the right word inasmuch aa Webster defines a "erased" person as mentally deranged and tfee* must be tfe* condition of a person who will stake his all upon playing a man at < his own game, when the game haa been thoroughly tested for its certainty to enrich its proprietor at tfee' direct expense of its amateur vie* tint; and yet today gambling exceeds all other rackets in the ■ >pe if its menace.
