It is a well-known fact that there are many people, particu-

to do with the other. However, these people whether they regis-

would really be a tour.
Secretary of Highways Ray F. Smock has just compiled a
highway survey and he finds the state highway system maintains
40,939 miles, while local governments, townships, boroughs and
cities have 59,025 miles. The state is responsible for 41 percent
of Pennsylvania’s roads and this is a far greater total than any
other state in the Union. The average for the country is only
18 percent of the highways built and maintained by the states.

We saw an unusual information made by State Police Thursday
of last week. Seems that along about 2:30 on the highway between
Ebensburg and Carrolltown the road patrol picked up a 1935 Ford
coupe bearing only one license tag—and that one belonging to a
car dealer. Information against the driver was made at the office of
M. J. Farabaugh in Carrolltown. About an hour later, the same
State Policeman traveling along the same road spied another 1935
Ford—this one a cabrolet—bearing only one license tag—the mate
to the one on the car driven past earlier in the afternoon. And so
the wide-awake patrolman made another trip into Justice of the
