The Public Roads concept suggests that funds which properly may be used for streets and alleys also could properly bo used for parking areas, since parking is essentially a part of street use. Public Roads further advocates that the federal government use the Work Projects Administration to build municipal parking lots.

The installation of parking meters here doubtless will provide a turnover in parking space, but it will not increase that space, and parked cars still will be occupying street space which traffic needs now and will need more sorely in the future. Certainly further study of the problem is desirable. Town Crier It apparently was a lucky thing for Shippensburg merchants that they held their two-day community sale when they did.

Governor James apparently is setting a disturbing precedent in Harrisburg by reading the bills the legislature passes before signing or vetoing them. The other day the governor was doing his stint of reading and came across a bill to appropriate $20,000 to lease 100 acres of Dauphin county land for a reservation for the Sus-quehannock Indians. The governor, who apparently had a course in history at Dickinson college, smelled a rat.

He asked Dr. Donald A. Cadzow of the state historical commission, who assured him that there aren't any more Susquehannock Indians, and haven't been for a good many years. As a matter of fact the commission's1 archives say that the tribe was wiped out in a riot at Lancaster in 1763. The Dauphin county legislators who in Shippensburg, Tuesday, Aug.

1941 GASLESS EVENINGS The first positive step toward reduction of the use of gasoline in the East has been taken by the defense petroleum administration. It did not usher in gasless Sundays, as had been rumored so frequently, but gasless evenings. It will be recalled that Canada some time ago banned sale of gasoline at night as well as on Sunday. At first glance it would seem that the closing of gasoline stations at night will not in itself effect any substantial reduction in gasoline consumption. However, the measure should have great psychological value.

The brilliant lights of gasoline stations have become familiar beacons along the highways at night, and the number of stations is the butt of many a jest. It is estimated that 100,000 service stations in the Eastern Seaboard area will be affected by the night sales ban. If the lights of these 100,000 service stations are "doused," leaving the evening motorist without the familiar confidence of the knowledge that in a jnile or two the lights of one of these stations will come into view, the shock of the change should be sufficient to make an im to the Chiei at the public square, they sought information as to how they might use the Turnpike to get to Cincinnati, Ohio.

Further advantages of the 450 membership plan will accrue in Massachusetts, where a Republican state government has legislated 'he young New Dealer, Thomas Eliot, out of his district, and have gerrymandered to such an extent government to redistiict the State of Pennsylvania. Action of the President was revealed in a letter he wrote to Representative A.

Weiss author of the bill providing that in the event of the failure of a state legislature to provide proper districts for selection of representatives to Congress, the re-districting shall be done by the director of the bureau of the census. Weiss had written the President asking his support of the measure. "I have noted your statement that the result (of the legislature's failure to redistrict) may be that representatives from your state may be elected at large," said the President, "and I have asked the Department of Justice to examine the legislation which you have introduced on the subject and to which you refer in your letter which would provide that in case any state fails to provide districts, the districts shall be laid out by the director of the United States census. "I feel that this is a matter peculiarly within the province of the Congress, and that under' the circumstances it is inappropriate for me to make any suggestions in respect to it." The President, while he "refrained" from making any suggestions, opened the door all the way when he informed Weiss that he had asked the Department of Justice about Weiss' bill. Mr.

Roosevelt undoubtedly believes that election of congressmen at large would ed them of the lack of Susquehannocks to occupy the proposed reservation.

This udoubtedly is because most gasoline users hk'e not yet realized that a shortage of the tul actually is impending and that savings actially are needful. The cutting off of re-tar supplies at night probably will bring ab(ut this realization. the proposal of Mr. Ickes for elimination of night sales of gasoline is not exactly an order. He was the first to admit that the government, under existing statutes, probably could not enforce such an order.

'It is a recommendation dependent upon cooperation as a matter of patriotism, and in the final analysis patriotism is more powerful than law. It is another endeavor to bring about voluntary reduction in gasoline consumption to a sufficient extent that compulsory rationing will not be necessary. It still is up to the individual motorist.

going to be more walking in America in the near future. The lads in the Army already are getting it. Some of the draftees were used to walking, but many others were purely children of a complex mechanical age and had never had much to do with footwork, excepting-as pertaining to clutch, throttle and brake pedals.

Another angle to the failure of the state legislature to redistrict the state arises through the possibility of increasing the membership of the House of Representatives in the Congress from 435 to 450, a move which would eliminate the need for Pennsylvania to be re-districted. Representative Weiss and Representative Francis Walter are arranging a meeting of the entire Pennsylvania delegation, both Republicans and Democrats, to prepare strategy for pushing the bill to have the census bureau redistrict the state, but the meeting has been held off pending outcome of a conference among congressional leaders to raise the House membership to 450.

The concept suggested in the article, which is primarily a study of the laws and ordinances of various states and municipalities affecting ownership of parking lots, is that parking is an essential part of the use of the highways.

Under this concept the provision of off-street parking facilities through municipal ownership and operation of parking areas is simply an extension of the function of building and maintaining streets. Vehicles which are parked upon the streets of Shippensburg or any other borough or city are using public high- ing representatives on the basis of present size. It acted after declin these two influences perhaps will be caught by another. If income taxes, automobile taxes, gasoline taxes and various other excise taxes continue to rise in accordance with present indications, before many years a lot of us will be walking whether we like it or not.

But they were not nearly so costly by monetary standards, according to a bit of research by Nation's Business. It has been estimated that the cost of killing one enemy soldier was 75 cents in Julius Caesar's day; during the thirty years' war which ended in 1648 it had risen to $50 and in the American Civil war the mortality expense was $5,000 a man. So vastly had the gentle art of slaughter changed in half a century that in the World war the cost of killing one man was placed at $50,000. Experience of the opening months of the present war in Europe indicated that the governments involved may have to lay down $125,000 for each dead enemy soldier. That's a far cry from Caesar's 75 cents.

It was suggested that the solution of the parking Problem is not to be found in street regulation, such as meters, but in the provision of off-street parking areas, and that the Provision of such facilities is a proper borough function. The borough of Shippens-burg already had moved toward acceptance of this idea by the operation of parking lots in recent years, none of which, how-ever, the borough owns.
