Assured that sufficient

highway program without a further
increase in gasoline tax or opera-
tors’ fees the Lancaster Automobile
Club is waging a fight to defeat any
move in the Legislature to place
extra tax burdens on the automobile
driver. In line with a
resolution passed at the February
meeting of the Auto Club the
county’s representatives at Harris-
burg are being urged to oppose any

“We must continue road con-

the Auto Club head asserted.
“Money must be available, too, for
maintenance of the present high-
ways. But the State’s two chief
fiscal officers are authority for the
statement that the present three-
cent tax will provide ample funds
to carry out the Highway Depart-
ment’s extensive program. The
State can build only so many roads
within two years, and with $23,-
000,000 more due to come into the
treasury during the next two years,
without a further gasoline tax in-
crease, than ever before in a simil-
ar period, according to present cal-
culations, no motor tax increase is
warranted.
“Economic conditions are such
that the Highway Department must
hold within certain specified limits
in road construction each year in
order not to take too much labor
from the factory, the farm and the
mine. Thus if they were to attempt
to spend more funds for highway
construction during the next two
vears by radically increasing the
number of miles to be built they
would run into an economic snag

Bird Made Much Trouble
When telephone service suddenly
stopped between Melbourne and Al-
bury, Australia, says the Pathfinder
Magazine, a long. careful search re
vealed that the cause of the trouble
was a magpie. This busy bird had
built a nest on the top of a pole—a
nest 14 inches across and about 8
inches deep. The size of the nest
would not have nattered, but evi:
dently intent on making the new home
durable and solid, the magpie had
used several pieces of wire which had
heen snipped off and left on the
ground by repair men. One of the
pieces of wire was in contact with two
wires of the line, which naturally
caused a short circuit and stopped the
service.
Gratitude
The wise old Dr. Samuel Johnson
once said: “Gratitude is a fruit of
great cultivation. You do not find it
among gross people.” Observations
will convince you that this is true. at
least in some degree. Cheap or coarse
people are usually lacking in a sense
of gratitude. They are likely to be
the sorts who carry chips on their
shoulders, brag that the world owes
them a living, boast of accomplish
ments for which they are not respon
sible. [Lacking a sense of apprecia
tion of most good things. they natural
ly lack a sense of appreciation of what
others have done for them.—Grove
