Two ' Will Eventually Link 50 Percent Of America's Cities By F. C. TURNER Federal Highway Administrator With over two-thirds of the Interstate Highway System already open to traffic, the day is close when the 42,500-mile network of controlled-access roads is finished and its benefits can be enjoyed to the fullest. At the end of fiscal year 1969, 28,219 miles were in use, construction was taking place on another 5,259 miles, and preliminary engineering or right-of-way acquisition was under way on an additional 6,956 miles. Mileage opened to- taled 67 percent, while some form of work was under way or completed on 40,434 miles- about 95 percent of the 42,500 miles. Some $37.2 billion has been put to work on the system since the accelerated pro- gram began in 1956. Work completed cost $26.57 billion and work under way or au- FUN TIME SUMMERTIME WITH OUR SPECIAL CAR CARE SERVICE ENGINE We'll check and adjustment of ignition and carburetion systems and tune if necessary.

The Federal share of the cost Is 90 percent, financed by the Highway Trust Fund which Is supported entirely by Fed- eral road user taxes. Of the many user benefits stemming from the Inter- state System, probably the most welcome and the most important is the saving of lives. For each five miles of the system opened to traffic, a life is saved during each year thereafter. Because it is designed and built with primary interest for safety, the system is expected to save at least 8,300 lives an- nually once it is finished. In- terstate travel is more than twice as safe as on conven- tional roads replaced by the new IS routes. Although it constitutes on- ly a bit more than 1 percent of the country's 3.7 million miles of roads and streets, the system will carry at least 20 percent of all the nation's traffic, and will link together more than 90 percent of America's cities with popu- lations of 50,000 or more. It has been estimated that when the system is finished. user benefits will total about $11.5 bUlion a year due to lower operating time, acci- dent, and strain-of-driving costs. The system is providing a new mobility for the move- ment of people and goods. Business and vacation trav- el takes less times than for- merly.

But of most benefit, it is truly a life saver. In 1968, an estimate sub- mitted to Congress by the Federal Highway Adminis- tration fixed the cost of the then-41,000-mile system at $56.5 billion, of which the the Federal share was $50.6 billion. But that same year, Congress increaped the mile- age from 41,000 to 42,500 to fill missing critical links be- tween major cities. No Exchange Needed 128 S. 1st St. 426-2800 AVE T RN UTO Ea. 6-Qt.

Chances are you're also tak- ing out an anti-breakdown insurance policy. According to Chek-Chart Corporation, more service outlets are conducting safety inspections every time the car is on the hoist for a lu- brication. The importance of such inspection is increasing since extended lubrication intervals recommended by manufacturers mean that cars are on the hoist less fre- quently. Chek-Chart recommends the following components be inspected during a lubrica- tion and any necessary de- fects be corrected: [] Brake system [] Steering and suspension [] Shoek absorbers [] Tires and wheels [] Exhaust system [] Fuel system [] Cooling system [] Drive line units [] Threaded fasteners [] Seat belts [] Electrical system [] Lights and horn [] Locks and latches [] Visibility items such as glass, wipers, washers, mirrors and defrosters In inspecting these sys- tems, a trained mechanic will ~heck for various fluid leaks or low levels of lubricants. Particularly sensitive areas are brake fluid reservoirs, master cylinder leakage, power steering fluids, shock absorber and drive line lubri- 1/2 TON PICKUP 6-Cylinder, 3-speed, guages, heavy duty rear springs, 2-speed wipers and washers, back-up lights.
