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.

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.
