Developed into a strong state- wide organization, he points out, it should have sufficient political power to cause the legslature to take action and he advocates that a bill be introduced that would require that all state roads be designated “COW-ways” rather than “highways”; that, the road {department plant more’ luscious ‘and nourishing grasses along the shoulders; that the state “safety department’ supply all cows with tail-lights as a safeguard against reckless and careless motorists; appropriation of funds for the es- tablishment of a home for or- phaned calves whose mothers jhave been killed on the COW- |ways; and in general provide for ‘the welfare, comfort and protec- tion of Her Bovine Majesty. The idea isn’t as screwy as it sounds and if Fuller Warren could be induced to get behind the movement and serve organizer it ought to go over a bang.
