Attended by AAA motor club execu tives from all parts of the United States, and coming at a time when stimulation of highway travel will provide new employment and aid business and Industry, the conven tion will protest vigorously against further temporizing with conditions which deny motorists maximum use and minimum pleasure from their vehicles. "With the nation thinking and act ing In terms of solving basic prob lems," said Thos. P. Henry, president of the AAA, "it la nothing short of national folly to Ignore the fact that highway transportation Is threatened with strangulation by traffic conges tion, uneconomic restrictions and costly experiments. "Building of superhighways and ether much-needed rond improve ments in congested areas are being delayed while huge sums of special motor tnxea are devoted to non-high way purposes. Passenger car owners are not assured a proper place on the highway In the malestrom of com mercial traffic.

Fce-grnbbrng Justices and enforcement officers ply their trado In the face of a decision of the su prems court declaring such a system In violation of the Fourteenth Am endment.

"Our cities continue to experiment and hope some miracle will solve the problem of parking and terminal fac ilities, Instead of proceeding to bring about Improvement. Qadgeteerlng In stead of engineering Is the rule rather than the exception." Citing that highway planning sur veys, conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads and forty-six operating states will furnish the first road Inventory since' the automobile waa Invented, Mr. Henry said that flteps to secure the greatest possible benefits from these surveys will be another convention objective.

It seems a strange Job for the wife of tho governor of the Bank of Eng land. But sho doesn't think so. She used to be a member of the London county council, until her marriage to the "mystery man" of British finance five and a half years ago. He was then a 61-year-old bachelor, nhe a 33-year-old divorcee with two sons I dropped into her office to get her slant on her work. She gives you a friendly handshake as you come In. As you settle down In a chair, you observe that she has ash blonde hair, a youthful, oval shaped face, and n charming person ality beneath her eutclent business woman manner. "You have a dangerous Job. don't you think. Mrs. Norman?" I ask. "All of us In this type of work are in danger, of course." 'But doesn't your hUAband ob Joct?" "On the contrary. All of us must help." Mrs. Norman Is vice-chairman In charge of the London area of the women's voluntary services for A R P. a government organisation newly created to enroll a half million women volunteers for the various air raid precautions services. The organization has been criticiz ed In the House of Commons for be ing in the hands of "society ladles nnd young debutantes." But Mrs. Nornmn says "they're all workers", whatever their social or fi nancial position. "Merit" Is the only thlna that counts, she explains. "What would you do. Mrs. Norman, If enemy bombers raided London to day?" "1 don't know, I hodn't thought of that." "I shotild think your first concern would be for your family." "Yes. I suppose It would be." "Then don't you think your women voluntoors will feel the some clash between duty and. family." "Yes, I suppose so." In some In stances, however, she explains that A.R.P. duty and family responsibility aro being coordinated. Housewives, es pecially those In the poorer sections, are to be trained what to do In a rold. "Their husbands will be working., probably, and they'll be alone with the children. If we can ?how them how to put out bombs and how to seal up their windows so the class won't fly we will hetp prevent them rrom getting so panicky, we feci." "But do you think It's practical to use women for A.R.P. work? Can they keep their heads In an emergency?" "It's not only practical but es sential. We're In an emergeney We must hove tho support of the women." The list of A.R.P. Jobs for women ranges from telephonists nnd steno graphera to ambulance drivers, evac uation lenders, casualty workers and undertakers. i Closing time for Too Late to CI: my Ads It l :30 p. rn. as SIMONIZ pjoterts the finish nf nur ear In ALL WFATIHlH Daily's Auto Painting smith Martini Windshield and Window Glass ALL TYPES Shnttor-proof nnd plain nre avniluble from stock.
