The Somerset Journal |
| Editorial(s). The Automobile Department at Frankfort reports that there are in Pulaski 319 automobiles and 34 trucks. In Rockcastle there are 57 auto's and 2 trucks; in Wayne 192 auto's and 27 trucks; McCreary has 11 auto's and no trucks; Laurel has 40 automobiles and 2 trucks; while Lincoln has 523 automobiles and 47 trucks. Notice, readers, the effect of good roads as has been seen in LincolnThe prime importance of motor trucks is that they enable the farmer to transport his produce quicker and better, and to receive his supplies more regularly and promptly, than in the days of horse drawn vehicles. The saving of time alone means a big savings of money, and besides there is the advantage of getting the produce to market in far fresher condition than was formerly possible. Beyond this, there is the actual drawing together of farm and town which is the result of good roads frequently traveled. The automobile was the pioneer that demanded good roads for the pleasure seeker. The truck followed, and where some had hesitated to vote for large expenditures simply to provide good rods for joy riders, the hesitation vanished when it was realized what it would mean to any community to have roads over which heavily laden trucks might safely run. Farmers, besides enjoying the economy and convenience of the motor truck, find themselves in closer contact with more and more people, and the last objection to rural life, namely that it is isolated, is removed. It is interesting to all who have traveled the public roads for more than ten years, to observe the steady change in both he roads and the vehicles upon it. The almost absence of the old wagon with creaking wheel and plodding nag indicates either that the owner of the horses knows that this noble animal is not best suited to the modern needs of hauling, or that the horse driving farmer is being slowly pushed to the wall by his more enterprising neighbors. Trucks, prosperity and good roads! More trucks, more prosperity! More prosperity, more good roads; more good roads, more trucks; and soon and on as the hopeful cycle repeats itself.
