Description: Seven miles of highway, recently paved, between Quincy and Calumet was marked with white and yellow lines by the Michigan state highway department Thursday afternoon. Sunshine, an infrequent visitor in the area in recent days, made the painting project by this motor propelled machinery impossible following completion of the paving by the Thornton Construction Co. about two weeks ago. Pick up truck in rear set up rubber caution markers to permit drying of paint. [The painting crew attempts to paint the lines as traffic passes by.]
