You know. two three cent stamps add up to six cents. So we’ve been unw itting ly helping Uncle Sam make up t le p deficit all this time. O f course it hurt the Scotch blood in us, as we felt we were not getting that additional service that we were pay. g for w ith that one cent tip.

To quote our esteemed contemporary, "every time a project prog, ress« toward success, somebody is ’ inspired’ to throw a money wrench into the wheel by advancing some 'clever’ counter idea, usually based on personal preferences or ambition to get into the limelight. That must mean us! , . For recently we proposed that as a measure to get a four-lane highway into the bottleneck between here and Medford that the pow - e rf that be consider utilizing the old road as a one-way southboirnd highway and the present highway 99 « a one-way northbound high- W1I t ’s being done in other communities, for example, H untington Drive in Los Angeles was largely created that way.

We also didn’t realize that the Daily Twiddling« was the power omnipotent in matters pertaining to highways, but then we haveri t had a car for enough months to get the feel of the roads, nor a hen on them either.

And so, not knowing that the highways of this country, meaning Southern Oregon, were in the hands of a closed corporation, we unw itting ly made a usggestion. To set our contemporary straight, the suggestion advanced wa merely in the form of a suggestion. We were under the delusion that citizens still had some say in the matter of what happened to the roads. As yet we’ve seen no other definite p lin advanced for a four-lane route from Ashland to Medford, and we’re sure that the state high way department w-ould appreciate any suggestion, recommendations, or ideas anyone wished to offer. Then they’ll do whatever they think best. No matter what the Daily Twiddlings has offered in the way of suggestions or what we have offered w ill change the minds of the highway department officials. And we plan to keep making suggestions and offering ideas to anyone who w ill listen and on any subject we wish, including highways. * forces and or In time of war or national emergency.
