The watching is a scheme cooked up by the four partners of the Finchum Trucking Co. in order to get the most out of their drivers, equipment and as one member of the firm facetiously sald, “To deprive ourselves of sleep, I think.” (He said it and I'm not going to strike it out of the

The four partners who have taken matters of the open road into their own hands include V. M Finchum, Eugene Finchum, Ivan Mullen and F. M. (Jack) Chambers. Insurance companies have

A long and Lonesome Road -

THE NIGHT my press pass got me on location was when Mr. Finchum was sending 18 trucks to Mr. Chambers drew the road patrol along Road 20 and told me he was glad I could come along because he would have someone to talk to besides radio announcers. “It gets pretty ' lonesome sometimes,” Mr. Chambers said getting into his 1948 Buick convertible. It beats me how a man could be lonely in 4 wagon like that. Mr. Chambers informed me that we were not going all the way to Cincinnati. In fact, we weren't’ even going to Shelbyville, just outside of the city. 1 settled for WLW on the radio and said it

letins later on. Peachy. It seemed funny to be riding in a white-

_sidewalled convertible and talking about trucks,

cattle, hogs. sheep and livestock handling. The drivers know thatthey may be checked at any time, but they don't know exactly when, Mr. Chambers explained. “We've had this program in effect for two weeks and it's. working out fine,” he droned on as the car radio sent out a fast dance tune. “Above all we're trying to cut down accidents, save on maintenance, see that livestock is being handled correctly.” After a lot more talk about how tough it is to stop a 20,000-pound truck with a“ loose cargo suddenly—something people in passenger cars often forget—how he drove a truck for eight years, how

important highway courtesy is, Mr. Chambers-

suddenly said, “There's one of our trucks.”

The driver was right on the ball §s far as:

gpead and lights were concerned, He gave us the flicker business and Mr. Chambers passed him. “That's ¥Wugene Holder,” he said, “and I don't think I'll stop him, He seems to be in good shape.”

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27—I never thought I'd live to see a highway sign reading: “Beware, free zoo!” 3

But maybe I will. It's not the kind of a zoo

YOU HI, “either: Of “course-it- has-animals-in- it

But after you get inside you find the old sucker-born-every-minute game. The American Automobile Association, is all worked up about it and is fixing to send a “beware” notice to all its members. The AAA says these “free zoos” are. bobbing up in alarming numbers around the country, particularly along southern highways. The wayside flaggers get the folks te stop and gas up and while they're at it, let the kids have a look at the animals, for free, monkeys mostly. According te the AAA, once you get inside, the pitchmen sidle over to the old man and ask him if he ever heard of the old Indian game. The old man, like as not, never did. So the boys.are only too happy to teach him. :
