CUES Dm OF BEING CONTENTED WITH ROAD PLAN Auto Body Says Officials, Public Should Guard Against Negligence. America’s present highway system far surpasses anything the world has ever known, embracing more than 500,000 miles of surfaced roads threading their way with imposing effect into all parts of the country. Marvelous as this achievement is, it embraces a subtle danger that motorists and others should be warned against, according to the American Automobile Association. That danger, the statement says, Is tho temptation to becomo satisfied with the present situation, to regard the present hard-surfaced highway ■mileage as sufficient for the nation's needs. Action Needed “The public and the public official must realize constantly that the time when it may rest upon its oars in the matter of highway building is far

in the future,” says Thomas P. Henry, president. “Our progress in road building has been remarkable. But, if the fine promise of the automobile for even further strengthening the economic fabric of America is to be realized fully, we must make even more remarkable progress.” The millions of motor tourists are peculiarly susceptible to the temptation to regard the present road mileage as ample if they limit their travel to the more progressive sections of the country, the A. A. A points out. “It is true that, in greater or smaller degree, a vast majority of America's 22,000,000 motor car owners go in for touring. This driving, in the* main, is confined to the best mileage of the more than 3,000,000 miles of highway that exist in tli3 United States. Because of this fact, the motorist is likely to judge the whole highway system by that part of it he travels. Old Story “It is the old story of judging the box of strawberries by the large, luscious fruit on the top. Just as the berry buyer regrets his purchase when his error is discovered, so the motor car owner eventually will bemoan his bad judgment if he assumes the national highway system to be perfect because his touring has been confined to the best of the roads. It is a mentaj trap into which one easily may fall unless one' is wary of the danger of Its presence.” America has enormous floor space

Thus, it says, while the need is present, the means by which it may be met also are available.
