To One
And All
Christmas Spirit In
Our
The spirit of Christmas is more than a spirit of
giving. It is more than a mere exchange of material
things. It is a matter of spiritual values, a sort of glo
rified combination of the realiaSation, .- that "the gift
without the giver is bare," thelresolution to "do unto
others as you would have then do unto you" and the
desire for. "peace on earth, goocT will to men." Espec
ially should th be true of thdjChristmas spirit in Mar
shall. When wo have planned for the gift that we ado to give to
members of our families and our friends, we must not forget that
there is another which should receive a gift from us. It is our
community. Our gift to our community should be one of good
citizenship, by having an active interest ia affairs of government
by aiding the board of education and the teacher in maintaining
the highest standards of 4ucation'ilour schools, by actively sup.
&-i, . . .
porting our churches, by centering all of our trading activities
here, by taking pride in the appearance of our homos, our yards,
ourroet d.'by being1 aa actiyajojaottt aadjipt an obstruc.
tionist, of any movement which will make our town a better place
in which to' live in short, by building up our community in every
possible way. For the one best gift to our community is coopera.
tion.
And when we have given this to our community, let us not
forget the gift as soon as the holiday season is oer. Instead let
us carry over the Christmas spirit into every day of the year to
that each succeeding Christmas will be a happier on for all of us
because each of us has done his share in giving our community all
the good things of life.

Road Building Often
Begins Xt Wrong End
Main Traffic Study Reveal That
Highway Dollar Can Not
Butter AH Bread.
By E. E. Duffy
Despite the fact that state high
way systems are still far from being
complete, particularly in the midd!9
west and southwestern states, the old
urge to get the work done at the
farm end of the road, first, still holds,
according to highway information
coming to the national capital.
This misconception about where
road work should begin has been one
Of the most annoying and aggravating
stumbling blocks in the long and ted
ious process of highway development.
It is grounded in the fact that roads
are so badly needed everywhere that
the farmer is impatient and generally
resentful of any program that does
not let him out on pavement the mo
ment his automobile or motor truck
rolls through the farm gate. There is
no quarrel here withhis impatience;
he should have the roads. The only
point in dispute is how best to get
them.
Were it not for the fact that pres
sure persists for speedier work on
secondary, county and township road
in spite of the fact that the main
traffic routes are not yet complete,
there would be no excuse for repeat
ing so obvious a fact that the routes
subject to the heaviest wear should
come first, because they are the routes
that cost .more to maintain until pro
perly built.
On this point a traffic count made
by the state highway department of
Maine, in conjunction with the U. S.
Bureau of Public Roads, affords an
excellent lesson for all states troubled
with the problem of where to build
first and with the greatest speed. The
resii'it' found m" Maine show .tha,t the,
highway construction problem is
much simpler than might appear from
contemplation of the total road mile
age of the state or the country as a
whole.
The total of all highways in Maine
is 23,104 miles. It has a primary sys
tem of 1,630 miles and a secondary
system of 4,049 miles. Its third class
or what might be termed outer sys
tem of highways feeding first into its
secondary and thence inte its primary
system, embraces 17,425 miles. These
three groups make up the total mile
age of the state.
In the traffic count the discovery
was made that the primary roads,
which are but a fraction over seven
per cent of all roads in the state, car.
ried a daily vehicle mileage of 1,702,
000, as against 986,000 on the secon
dary roads, and 499,000 on the third
class roads or twice as much traffic on
the main roads as on the secondary
and more than .four times as much as"
on the third class roads. The count
was kept up for four months and the
final check-up showed that 1,630 miles
of main highway carried in that time
209,346,000 vehicle miles, ' against
121,278,00 vehicle miles on the
4,049s miles secondary system, and
499,000 vehicle miles on the third
class system of 17,425 miles. Con
clusive proof, it must be admitted,
that the quickest and surest way to
swamp a state highway program is to
puu capital away from the main; job
