' J": -:: - The Judges declare the manuscripts as a whole were of high quality and testify to the interest the school chil dren of this part of the country have taken In the development of the ship-by-truck Idea. All six of the essays of the prise winners will be Sent to the Republic factory at Alma, Mich., to be entered In the national 11000 scholarship ' prise. " . ,-r : The winning' essay by Miss Jennie Mc Clew is as follows: v "As the problems of better roads and motor truck transportation' confront us. we' naturally ask the question, why have these been brought to our atten tton at this particular period In the history of our country? Why are" these things so much more necessary '.; now than everjberorer We must think of our nation as -a "living IndividuaL In its childhood, liv- ' Ing was. simple and It ' reached forth feeble arms the stage coaches for the things it needed;. In youth. Jiving be came more complex and it reached forth stronger arms the railroads to many parts of the country. - -But-the-railroads were like arms withput fingers.. Now the fingers the auto trucks have been linked . with the arms, and both seem to have been made, for the; same, indi vidual. The railroads and motor trucks must be thought of in this way, aa co operative forces, working for the good . of the same individual, or nation, , What railroads and steamboats are for1 long haul - transportation, motor trucks are for short haul. They pene trate into, and connect .,' all Isolated , places with the railroads and steam boats, and thus with the outside world. For the amount of work each does, the cost of shipping ny truck and by rail FOUR YOUTHFUL ESSAYISTS WIN PRIZES Four high school youths who placed in Republic- essay contest. They are, 'from left to right Rosooe W. Good, Portland; Mabel Jdhnson, Astoria; Jennie McCIeV, Bay City; Truman E. Crocker, Sweet Home. Is about the same. But the immense cost of building railroad side lines. Into places where there is little wayside traf fic makes - the truck superior in this way. " r-.r:-- ' .5 ,-; -: ; ;: -. -. . ' - These two forces --railroads and trucks working together", are a com munity builder We know that "trucks will soon tear up cheap roads snd this knowledge compels the construction of good ones. All isolated . communities are brought into touch with the outside world-' The natural resources within the country are developed and Industries en couraged through the buiWlng of good roads. , i ; . "- : v-'' "On farms, ' trucks have' become an indispensable factor. They bave taken the place of old fashioned horse power. As the complexity of living increases there must be a corresponding increase in the efficiency of farming. The mo tor trucks are ; adaptable, flexible -and durable. They ; link together the farm and the factory. Kven if it were possible to connect these Industries with rail roads, the trucks would still be superior, fdr two reasons : First, the rate -of travel of trucks .is more rapid than that-of railroads ; second, the time and labor - lost - in rehandling-products shipped by raiLis-saved. In times of haryestingerishable crops, much food saved, because of the quick transpor tation by the trucks. . "The vital problem now Is the con struction of goodrdads. , It is up to the counties and states to release funds for road construction so that It will" be pos- sible for trucks to do to the utmost those things which they are capable of doing.
