SCHMAPS ! 1] by Louise Marks It’s an old story . . the one about folks getting confused with turn pike exits, but here's one about a dummy who found the entrances a source of bewilderment. If only it hadn't happened a year ago, at exactly the same spot, the tale wouldn't be so crazy. Enroute to Wilkes-Barre from Delaware, after the map was carefully con- preferred one because at Norris- town it connected with the Penna. Turnpike, which connected with the Northeast - Extension. Road mark- ings pointed the way to the Turn- pike but woe was me, nothing in- dicated that the Turnpike entrance I hit, headed west instead of east and 1 found myself flying along toward Harrisburg with no possible way to turn around, no exits for miles and miles; nothing to do but grit my teeth, mutter some un- pleasant words and hope for a way out of the mess! Finally an Exit. . a reverse of my travel pattern and an arrival home over an hour late! This year, it wasn’t going to happen! Absolutely not! This year I'd be certain I didn't get on the wrong side of that Turnpike. . . so when I came to the junction and gaw a sign which said “WEST END” Har- visburg.... . Tsaid “A. . Ha? . . “That's not for me”. Refusing to enter, I traveled straight ahead two miles, found nothing which indicated another entrance and discovered upon in- quiry I must turn back to the en- trance I had passed ‘up. Obediently, 1 did just that! Or, thought I did, until I came face to face with a sign which said TURNPIKE SOUTH. “Oh, Me” . .. . where was I now?" Hesitation being impossible, cars whizzing by like jets. ... a quick exit to the right . . . “Get off this blasted thing be- fore you end up back in Delaware’. “OK now I'm off that speedway . . what do I do now?” No turnpike in «'ght . . . a country road leading to Malvern. “Ye Gods, I. was in Malvern 30 minutes ago’. There was the sign “GOOD SPEED . . . GOD SPEED- MALVERN WELCOMES YOU” | That's what the sign said. | Another gas station, an inquiry of ‘a woman in a Corvair loaded with young 'ns . . only to discover she too was “LOST” . . . looking for | TURNPIKE SOUTH.

YHa Ha man in a little old car . . . looks like a native”... weakly I pleaded? “Can you help me sir?” . . . “Lady, you gotta know how to | drive these days,” said he, “There's | a big expressway up here aways ... | don’t get on that!” “I've already been on it . . . now | please tell me . . if you know . . .

The strike on the airlines certainly put a spoke in Hix’ wheel.
