THE BELOVED BAD ROADS.
“ I do not agree pcdestria'uism in England has been spoilt by motoring. A main road is not always a loveiy road. J know hundreds of miles of charming side-roads which the mere motorists leaves alone, winding ways over moors and wolds and downs he has not the courage to Lice and, best of all, the green roads that go rolling mile after mile along the ridgeways, five, seven, and eight hundred feat above .sea level, with vast village-dotted expanses on either side. The ordnance map, one inch to the mile—main roads marked red (to he avoided), secondclass roads marked yellow, third-class roads alternately white and yellow, bridle-ways, usually excellent, two dotted lines and footpaths a single dotted line—is the best companion and it costs half a crown. Had I the sense of rhyme I would write a poem on the beloved had roads of old England.”—Sir John Foster Fraser in the “ Outlook.”
