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

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

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

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.
