"Whereas, The rapid development
of our transportation routes is essen

Our great agricultural interests are
largely dependent upon the develop
ment and upkeep of our highways.
There must speedily be established
an all-year, satisfactory highway
service from our farms to our mar
kets and market stations. Producer
and consumer alike require this serv

number of automobiles • used by our
people in passing from one business
center to another the importance of
good highways is increasingly mani
fest. As we open our State to visitors
and citizens alike we shall Hud the
scenic splendor of Pennsylvania m
creasingly appealing and our high
ways increasingly important; and
"Whereas, In every town and city
and in many rural communities many
of our leading citizens, imbued with
high civic purpose, have formed im
portant bodies to promote good roads,
organizing voluntarily associations
such as Chambers of Commerce, civic
associations and State highway or
ganizations—all of which is service of
tho loftiest character and worthy of
all commendation. These, together
with the press of the Commonwealth,
have all commended the plan of ob
serving a State-wide good roads day;
and
"Wheresas, on Good Roads Day in |
1916 upwards of fifty thousand citi
zens gave freely the day to work upon
the roads, five thousand eight hun
dred and sixty-nine teams were given |
and one thousand one hundred and j
twenty-one drags added to the :iuc
cess of the effort. Approximately |
four thousand seventy-two miles of i
roads were treated. The judges of the
courts in many counties joined the 1
Executive in issuing proclamations.
Many splendid women provided free j
luncheons for the workers. Many!

that, even with Inadequate appropria

"That each and every supervisor
of the several townships in this Com

good conscience to give this move

"That all our citizens having a
patriotic regard for this great Com

plan their personal duties in such
manner as to give this entire day to
the improvement of ohr highways.
When this is not possible, I ask them
to make such contributions in money
as wilj enable the local authorities to
add to the substantial good the day
should accomplish.
"That all owners of automobiles,
living In cities or towns repair on this
day to the country and volunteer their
services to the end that their services
may add to the safety and comfort of
themselves and others when traveling
upon our highways, and
"That this may be a State-wide

Mme. Gluck Would Shoot
Sons Before War Comes
Boston, March 12. "Shoot, your
sons dead, American mothers, before
you allow them to enllst for war."
Such Is the advice or Alma Gluck,
tho .singer and wife of Zimbalist, the
violinist. Mme. Gluck Is of Rumanian
birth, her husband is a Russian.
"if every woman would pledge her
self to kill her sons before she let
them go to war, there would be no
war," she continued, with emotion, in
an interview.
"I would. Before I would let a son
of mine KO to war and be shot after
he had killed the sons of other women,
I would shoot him myself with my
own hands. You think he might re- <
turn alive? Maimed? Maimed, crip
pled or sightless? Ah, that would be
worse than death. War is never justi
fiable —never, never, never."
Mme. Gluck has two daughters, a
girl of 13 and a baby of 18 months,
but no sons.
