Now Oregon ia In a 'three-year postwar highway modernization program to make her roads suit able for present and future travel. It will be no easy task, for the problems between design and act ual construction are manifold. Peak traffic loads, holidays, wea ther, types of vehicles, possible events to create unusual traffic volume - - all must be considered in road building today. : To meet these problems and to scale Models Aid Oregon's Road Planners By Den Dill SUM Writer.

A model also can be used to edu cate the people living in an area where a new project is under con sideration. Furthermore, as As sistant Traffic Engineer J.

Light, Easily Portable Most of the highway models are scaled at one inch to SO feet and are made of balsa wood, in sulation material, plastic wood, wire, and glue. Such materials make the models light and easily portable. Large make-ups are made in sections and take several months to complete. Through such models Oregon's engineers and highway officials can see today the roads of tomor row and thus make them suitable for tomorrow's travel- Confucius, sage of China, was named K'ung and the word Con fucius is a Latinized form of a Chinese expression meaning "the philosopher or master K'ung."
