By Hunter P. >Vharton l^neral President A Look at the Interstate Highway System (See also front cover and article on page 5.) After the war when we had regained our economic momentum we had by 1950 40,339,077 autos and 8,598,962 trucks. Ten years later the numbers had grown to 61,682,304 cars and 11,914,249 trucks. I give these figures in order to show the extent of growth of motor vehicles in our society. Since the turn of the century the automobile has had an impact that can easily be .said to have been an economic revolution. In the wake of this "revolution" has come the great demand for better roads beginning with the so-called "good roads movement" back in the 20's and 30's. These activities have been superseded by the develop UR Interstate program is in its final lap toward ment of Federal highways and later the great O completion.
