T° E TOWN DOCTOR.
(The Doctor of Towns)
Says
SOME' TOWNS, LIKE TRUCKS, GET STUCK IN THE MUD
There is something about the .building of 'a highway that is,
to me, as a magnet to 'steel. When driving through the country, .a
":Rad Under Construction" sign is a near command to drive around
the barrier, and learn'if the notice is telling the truth.
There is something majestic and awe-inspiring about the lay-
ing of a ribbon of concrete across a plain, .through the valleys, or
over the hills. Perhaps it is not the actual construction as much.
as the value of what the completed work will be to the communities'
it will serve, wondering if those it will benefit will take full advan-
tage 'OIt,e'OplorttnitY.
The paving of a country road is an epoch in the life of the
area through which, it passes, for it marks the passing of the old
into the new, and to mei,, a changing from the old order of things.
is always of interest.
Last fall, while making what has been -spoken of, as a "clinic
journey", I obtainedperrn.ission to drive a twelve -mile strip of newly-
.
, laid concrete through the Palos •kills .country in Illinois. It was a
'beauti'ful roadway in a beautiful country, and I could but ,It
at
the thoroughness—the perfect contour' -of this `•esidewalle" for, motor'
cars" to Hillside, vale and woodland—it was perfect.
Sonne miles from the convergence of this roadway with the
main arterial highway, a large force of workmen with a score of
dump trucks were making a fill. Trucks loaded with loose earth
came from both directions• systematicallystenaticallythey swung tothe edge
,
half circled to the centre of thepavement, then backed; a whistle
blew, the truck stopped, the dump body tipped as the end gate open -
,ed; another whistle and the truck moved out and on tip the road..
Foran hour "I' watched them as liken' giant'antla they:. came and went,
filling the hole that was .bad for the highway.
Then something happened. A monstrous truck,, very heavily
loaded, backed up too far, wept off the pavement and down the em-
bankment, settling deep in the wet, loose spongy loam. It was stuck
nodoubt about it!
, A loud whistle blew— trucks outbound stopped, swung around,.
and 'returned to the fill; inbound trucks drew up in a line. Chains
rattled as each hitched to the other—a workman slid down to the
truck in the mire,
•uck 'h attached a chain thereto, .. and a whistle blew thrice.
At the first whistle, all trucks moved forward taking up the slack, at
the second, gears meshed into low, at the third, every clutch of every
trnclewas engaged, and without'jump or jerk, all, as one moved for-
ward, steadily, surely, until the truck was back on solid pavement.
There was no fuss, dissension, excitement', or bluster—all. ;of the
at-
trucks'pyulled, none was standing at the side of the road, idling; tv
cling or shouting advice; all pulled in the same direction at the sane
time;
The moral is plain. If your town is "stock—if it isn't proving
forward—gather 'round, everybody, hook on, get a sure "hitch," then
pull TOGETI-IER-in the "same 'direction.
