ÍWEZE3EL w«l> Henry FONDA Á V Í To see something, to, have the money ready to pay for it. and still not be able to get it, is an annoyance most of us have experienced In the past few years. It has been the same story with highway construction. During the war road-building came to halt. But untold millions of dollars in special highway taxes paid by motorists kept rolling in. The money couldn't be spent for highway department im provements then, and so It kept ac cumulating. The result is a tremen dous backlog of funds to build new roads and Improve old ones, And the tax millions continue to pour into highway treasuries at a greater rate than ever before. The motorist has been annoyed because he hasn't seen this money converted Into roads. With the needed money on hand in greater amounts than ever before, he's been asking what’s holding up those promised postwar highway improve ments. The answer, of coursio, is found In shortages of road-building equipment, materials and manpower. The situation today Is like that after World War I. Then the Nation ex perienced a temporary period of scarcities and high prices. After in Gallon ran Its course, however, prices leveled off considerably in the high way construction field. Economists expect the same thing to happen when the present innation blows over. If so. the delays in high way construction will prove to have been a blessing in disguise, After prbes are stabilised, we should be ible to get a lot more in highways for the enormous amounts of money now held in reserve for road-bull« ling. IA e II get more miles of better road LA' th« same dollar.

( % ■ Uj -K to V' A pan of water is often enough to douse the careful fisherman's campfire. But the careless sportsman can start a raging inferno that thousands of men, with the most modern equipment, can't control. Forest fires burn an average of 25 million acres of America’s woodlands each jear. Fishermen know what these fires do to trout streams and good trolling lakes. They also know how nine out of ten fires may be prevented—» by obeying the law of the woods. For more than 300 years, Americans have found good fishing where the trees grots green. Do jour share to pass on our outdoor heritage to tomorrow's sportsmen. Help keep fires out of our woods.
