She Never Drove It Road Grader Intriguing to City Peace Corps Worker in Turkey «*

By ED SISMAN "I never dxl get a chance to

The Peace Corps job was to level the road. Miss Simpson •aid that some of the stones that had been used by the Ro­mans were three to four feet deep.

The Peace Corps dug up the road, laid culverts along side for water drainage and were then set to level the road by hand when a government grad-
