$12,000,000 Road Building Program
Planned In State For Current Year
Atlanta, Ga. —Georgia highway
officials Saturday teamed up with
the Works Projects Administration
to start building $12,000,000 worth
►of roads for approximately $500,-
000 of state cash.
Machinery acquired by the high
way department over the past two
will be used to obtain a ren
tal allowance from the WPA
amounting to $1,741,170.
The state highway department
then will pay such costs as plans
for the roads, surveys, engineers’
salaries and supervision. Chief
Highway Engineer W. R. Neel es
timated this would amount to about
$434,700.
The federal agency will supply
to an estimated $10,000,000, Neel
said.
Highway employes now are tak
ing an inventory of every piece of
equipment and all supplies over the
state, Neel added, for the purpose
of starting the new program as
quickly as possible.
Some roads requiring approval
already have been set up and will
►3e Quick To Treat
Bronchitis
k Chronic bronchitis may develop if
*your cough, chest cold, or acute bron
chitis is not treated and you cannot af
ford to take a chance with any medicine
less potent than Creomulsion which
goes right to the seat of the trouble to
help loosen and expel germ laden
phlegm and aid natxu-e to soothe and
heal raw, tender, inflamed bronchial
mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechwood creo
sote by special process with other time
tested medicines for coughs. It contains
no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines you
have tried, tell your druggist to sell you
a bottle of Creomulsion with the under
standing you must like the way it quick
ly allays the cough, permitting rest and
deep, or you are to have your money
back. fAdvi

keep the department busy until oth
ers can be sent to Washington,
Neel said. He set a goal of “a
program of $1,000,000 a month for
the next year.”
About half the proposed work
would be on roads requiring appro
val of the federal agency and the
remainder on post roads, Neel ex
plained.
With state engineers and super
visors, the WPA crews will build
and repair roads about as fast as
a private contractor, Neel predict-
I ed. He said he could not yet esti
mate the mileage contemplated un
der the WPA progx-am, nor the num
ber of workers involved, but de
clared it would compare well with
accomplishments of previous years.
Neel placed the value of state
owned machinery as “near $4,000,-
000” and compared this with the
allowance proposed by the WPA.
This allowance is based on a month
ly rental for each piece of equip
ment used by the WPA crews.

GOOD NIGHT, DADDY, GOOD
NIGHT
It’s just a few short years ago
That he bid this world good bye.
God called him from his earthly
home
To come to His home on high.
He left a toddling little boy,
In him, were his hopes and dreams.
It seemed a pity that he should go,
But God’s ways are strange it seems.
Now every night, this little boy,
When he’s tucked in bed so tight.
Tired and sleepy from playing all
day,
He tells his daddy good night.
Now, I don’t know, but I somehow
feel
That he’s listening up there on
high;
And he hears his boy, and he an
swers back
“Be good, for I’m always nigh.”
And then of a sudden my skies get
blue,
And my burdens all seem light,
For I have his son, and can hear him
say
“Good night, daddy, good night.”
—Mrs. Eleanor Plymale,
3135 Second Street,
Muskegon, Mich.
The above poem is dedicated to
the memory of my husband, Jeffle
M. Plymale.
