Pennsylvania Motor Kederation
Recommends Provision
by Legislature
Recommendation that the 1931 State
Legislature provide funds to start the
State road construction program early
nextspring to relieve the unemploy-
situation was made last Friday at the
closing session of the Pennsylvania Mo-
tor Federation convention held at
Clearfield.
Approximately 100 secretaries and
other officials of the 87 American Au-
tomobile officials Asosciation Clubs in
Pennsylvania attended the conference.
E. W. Tallman, Philadelphia, presided
The 1931 convention wil lbe held at
New Castle.
The $20,000,000 surplus in the high-
way fund should be devoted to road
construction, if necessary, in order to
carry out the plan proposed by the
conference, the delegates agreed.
The conference also passed resolu-
tions indorsing taking over the private-
ly-owned toll bridges by the State and
adoption of a safety responsibility
code. Twelve States, including New
York and New Jersey, have adopted
such a code it was pointed out.
Speakers included Ernest N. Smith,

Gable, Lancaster, President of the

CAUTION MOTORISTS
IN BIG GAME COUNTRY
So many deer have been killed by
automobiles, and so many serious
accidents to autoists barely averted, re-
cently, that illuminated signs have
been placed along certain highways
through the big game country cau-
tioning motorists to drive slowly. Bet-
ween Philipsburg and Sandy Ridge,
thirty-two deer have been Killed by
automobiles since September 1. Motor-
ists are not always to blame, as the
deer usually leap directly in front of
an oncoming car; but, motorists should
value their own lives to such an extent
that they will drive slowly. No less
than six wrecked autos were taken off-
the highway between Bellefonte and
Moshannon as a result of collisions
with deer.
Judging from a casual survey of re-
ports from field officers it would be
safe to say that a thousand deer are
killed each year by autos and many
human beings injured as a result.
