A- new route to Silver Creek
Falls has been marked by the Sa

Macleay, thus giving two direct

signs were placed along the route,
each sign bearing the words "Sil

Each sign is painted a bright
orange color and the words are ia

from automobiles.
Last year the Chamber of Com

route in no way displaces tha
older onel because every traveler
has his choice of going either ct
the two ways. Both are attrac

Turner is; just as attractive aa t! !
one through the town of Macleay.
Travelers report roads to U 3
falls .in excellent shape, althou- i
in some spots they are a littli
rough. This will be remedied
however, and the road win ? .
