Why? We Wonder ...

The state has been doing a lot of things to improve the highways and they will undoubtly be doing some work on Road 13 in the next year or so.

way back when the roads weren t as good as they now' are. I guess at that we have a lot to be thankful for in the way of good roads. With modern cars it is necessary that we have better roads. The old time cars had high wheels to make it thru the mud. Now we have very few mud roads but if we did get into one with one of the modern cars we’d soon find that the new'er models would get stuck a lot sooner than the old ones. But, why worry about that?
