HITCH-HIKING HIT

Legislatures in 43 states will convene early next year and among the other laws will consider new highway legislation. It is expected that many of these states will give consideration to hitch-hiking, which is now banned by law in nine states.

These laws prohibit persons from soliciting rides along the roadside. In addition to assuring safer conditions on the highways, they protect motorists fron persons who have robbery as a motive for seeking a ride, or others who sue for damages in case there is an accident.

Hitch-hiking has assumed considerable more importance since economic conditions have resulted in thousands of persons wandering over the country. While most of these are well meaning, and motorists are not inclined to turn them down, records show that this is the safest policy.
