Only those who have travelled in roadless countries know what
macadamized highways mean to a nation. Roads are to a country what the arteries are to a human body, and this fact was only fully realized in the New World with the coming of the motor. The improvement in the roads in the United States in the last twenty years has been astounding. The problem is, of course, more difficult in the case of a country like Canada, with a territory as large as that of the United States and with less than a tenth of the population. Nevertheless, the Canadian people are setting their hands to the task. The work of the Canadian Good Roads Association and other bodies is already beginning to show results, and every province in the Dominion realizes to-day that good roads bring increased tourist traffic and more revenue and promote friendly relations between the American and Canadian peoples.
