PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Happy New Year NHHAC
members!
Hope everyone enjoyed
Christmas with family and
friends and the New Year
brings everyone happiness
and good health.
While I’ve enjoyed the December heat wave, things look a bit dreary out-
side. I’m thankful for all the folks that decorate their homes to add bright-
ness to the season. We’ve cancelled the January meeting in anticipation of
snowy weather.
Friendly reminder that dues are due. Please get your reservation in for the
after-Christmas party. We’ll be having another auction this year to benefit
the club. Help us by bringing an unwrapped item to be auctioned off and
cash to pay your tab at the end of the night.
Happy New Year!
Mary Jo

100 Years Ago. . . . .
The 1920's cars rolling off Detroit's assembly lines faced an increasingly annoying obstacle: mud. The
majority of roads in the U.S. had been designed for uses by horses, thoroughly unsuitable for car traffic.
Most of the country's two million miles of roads were only covered by gravel. So people in various communi-
ties insisted on better roads as they acquired cars.
In 1921 the first Federal Highway Act was passed. The act sped up the building of roads as well as im-
provements in navigating them. For example, East-west routes were assigned even numbers; north-south
routes were assigned odd numbers.
Better highways, the moving assembly line, and the closed car caused the 1920's cars to contribute to
the "car culture" of the 1920s.
