TRUCK-FREE ROADS
ON SUNDAY ASKED
CONCORD. N. H., Aug. 6. (/P)—
Elimination of motor trucks from
the highways on Sundays and
holidays on the ground that they
contribute to the peril of week
end travel was advocated in a
statement issued by the State Mo
tor Vehicle Commissioner, John F.
Griffin, who also is president of
the Eastern Conference of Motor
Vehicle Commissioners. The state
ment follows in full text:
An automobile truck, like a hu
i man being, needs one day of rest,
in seven, and Summer Sabbaths
would be an excellent time for
commercial vehicles to keep off
roads.
Motor vehicle department statis
tics are not so tabulated in New
Hampshire to show how largely
trucks figure in the total of auto
mobile accidents. The proportion
is certainly larger than it should
be.
We cannot legally rule the big
trucks off the roads, even on Sun
day, but we ask truck owners, for
their own sakes and for the sake
of the public, to keep their ma
chines in the garage on the Sab
bath so far as is practible. Trucks
are bad enough on the highways
at any time, but on Sundays and
holidays, when traffic is heavy,
they constitute a menace to auto
travellers as a whole.
FOOD PRICES DECLINE
With only three of 42 articles
showing an increase for the month,
foods June 15 were two per cent
cheaper than on May 15. and had
declined about 20 per cent within
a year, according to a statement
July 20 by the Bureau of Labor
' Statistics of the Department of
! Labor. Potatoes, with a drop of
114 per cent in their retail price,
lead the decline in wrhich decreases
ranged down to less than half of
one per cent for wheat cereal and
tea for the month ended June 15.
j Five articles showed no change,
| while strictly fresh eggs, onions
j and raisins went up, it was stated.

(By Babe Hayes*
S. Kendrik Guernsey, a prom
inent business man of Orlando,
Fla., came through to Seward a
number of years ago. Speaking of
his trip a short time afterwards,
he says:
“Your letter was a most wel
come one for it brought back recol
lections of one of the most pleas
ant trips of my life. I shall never
forget that wonderful scenery, the
salmon canneries, the mines, the
hospitable people and all that goes
to make up Alaska. I have prom
ised myself that some day I would
return and have not yet abandoned
that hope.
“On Friday of this week, I am
leaving for a deer and turkey hunt
which will last for about a week.
I’m sure you would like our hunt
ing here, and I know I should
like your’s—but what a different
kind of hunting it is.”
