He launched the tours, orig- inally sponsored by the Ameri- can Automobile Association, to dramatize the need for better roads and to awaken in mil- lions a realization that the horseless carriage was not a nuisance but a necessity and a pleasurable and reliable means of cross-country travel. Among the 19 coveted relia- bility and performance awards to be given at the conclusion of the 1963 Glidden Tour will be the American Automobile Asso- ciation reliability trophy, which is a replica of the handsome award struggled for by. the participants door canvassing and consulta- eral candidate was a guest at the Independent Order of For- esters dance at Memorial Hall, the Club Lorelei, and at a reception at the home of Dr. Vipond. id.
