THE TURNPIKE PROJECT.
Charlotte Observer.

CharlOtte observer.
The information carried in The
Observer of the taking of Cald.
we'll County out of the eighth dis.
trict and the placing of IN a t
county in Doughton's district,
which action is to be followed by
the taking over of the turnpike
between Lenoir and Blowing
Rock, with a new extension to
Boone, proved a development of
surprising interest to the peo.
pie in this part of the State. 1t
is by far the most interesting de,
velorment in the States road
program since the Highway Com
mission got into operation. Com.
missioner Doughton's personally
conducted tour over the route
made him an enthusiastic sup.
porter of the project. Commits
sioner Wilkinson will this week
join other Commissioners in a fl.
nal going over of the project and
then we may expect official an.
nouncement of the closing of the
deal on part of the State. The
Observer is not in possession of
the details of the proposition,
but it will be remembered that
u few days ago it advanced the
views of interested parties that
the owners of the pike would
turn it over to the State as a free
gift. the State to hard.surface
and maintain it. A relocation of
grade at certain points would be
|
desirable but that is a minor con.
sideration.
The original turnpike was laid
out by surveyors from the State
University and ithas always been
regarded as one of the finest
mountain highways in the world.
1t is % miles in length and rea.
ches an altitude of 5000 feet a,
bove sea level. One of the big
reasons why the State should
take an interest in this road is
it's Appalachian Training School
at the Boone end of the line, but
it's greater interest would be the
establishment of a highway that
would serve to develop one of the
richest counties in America and
t. open to the people of the low
lands" the doors to storehouses
of inexhaustible agricultural and
mineral wealth.

BIG ROAD MEETIn6 FOR BL0Wln6
ROCK.

LIE OuVlOOh 1OI d IIlfOuSu OVdlS
roa d leading across Caldwell
county from the Catawba line to
Blowing Rock, with all toll gates
taken off, is believed to be nigh
ty good by local road men. In all
probability a part of this will be
h ard surfaced. In connection
with this road the state highway
commission will send a commit.
tee to Blowing Rock on Monday,
June 20, to go over the entire
proposition.
Another important matter so
far as Caldwell county is con.
cerned is the change from t h e
eighth district to the seventh dis
trict. This change was made at
the meeting of the State high.
way commission in Raleigh early
this month. The change was ask
ed for by the Caldwell county
road commission which sent one
of it's members, Mr.. J.L. Nelson,
to Raleigh to take up the matter
with the State highway commits
sion. Commissioner McBee, of
the eighth district, readily gave
his consent to the change and
Commissioner Doughton of the
Seventh district accepted h e
change and assured Mr.. Nelson
that he :would strive in every
way to serve the county as best
he could.
The committee which is to be
sent to Blowing Rock will go O.
YER the turnpike with the view of
considering a proposition of the
owners which is now before the
commission. This proposition is
said to be the offer of the turn.
pike to the s Z h Z h way
commission, the value to be plac-
ed by the members of the State
highway commission. Named on
this commission are Chairman
Frank Page and Commissioners
Wilkinson, Doughton Cox and
Hart. The meeting will be in
session two days and it is very
probable that matters concerning
other roads in this section will
come up for discussion. 1t is be-
lieved that the commission will
make an inspection trip over the
Yonahlossee road from Blowing
Rock to Linville and from that
place to Newland. Another road
likely to be investigated is that
from Newland leading through
Banner Elk'to Boone. Governor
Morrison will probably attend
t h $ meeting. The turnpike
proposition is the only road in
Caldwell county that is now be-
fore the State highway commits
sion. All other roads or PROPOSE
tions have been waived in favor
of the opening of a free road
north and south through the
county. Hickory is lending force
to this project, and it is believed
that Lincoln and Charlotte vii
want to connect up with this
north and south road.

This is a fairly fortunate day, ac-
cording to astrology, for Mars and
Uranus are in benefic aspect until
evening when Mars is adverse.
During the working hours what
ever is constructive and progressive
should benefit, all the influences be-
ing stimulating and helpful.
Physicians and surgeons should
profit greatly by this planetary gov
eminent which promises much for
hospitals and for surgery.
Operations that are remarkable
will be performed this autumn when
the brain will focus attention as
never before, the seers declare.
Mars changing to sinister sway in
the evening may cause many to lose
confidence in work accomplished
during the earlier hours of the day,
but no attention should be paid to
this mood.
Beware tax of entrance to a quar-
rel after shutdown for then mall
matters become magnified and dis
torted in the mind, which is affected
by the evil direction of the stars.
The morning and afternoon should
be suspicious for making new
friends. especially if they are of OPP
posite sex.
Washington, the national capital,
is subject to the best possible rule
of the planets, which f~oreshadow
much activity and many distinguish
ed visitors, who will be much enter
tanned.
There is to be again suffering
among the poor and workers who
have enjoyed comfort may meet
many needs. Those who read the
stars admonish men and women to
be thrifty.
Wars will loom on the worlds
horizons even while peace measures
are discussed.
The East will menace, but danger
lies only where wisdom ceases to
rule and for that reason the United
States will make no warlike gesture.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
a most fortunate year ahead of them
if born in the morning. If born later
in the day losses may be sustained.
The young will court and marry.
Children born on this day are like
ly to be kind and fond of many
friends. These subjects of Virgo Of

health is the next essential to film
stardom.
1t cannot be denied hat beauty of
a certain special type which direc-
tors and camera men recognize at a
glance is a factor in the making of
a star.
But there is a tremendous wear
and tear upon beauty in the movie
of which the young aspirant and
the fans seldom dream
This is not the wear and tear of
dissipation-but the strain and ten
sion of quick and precise acting be-
fore the camera
Every m knows the effect Of
overwork upon good looks-until
one has r-ecuperated.
The movie industry is III pri-
marily to make money. A high
salaried star is a large investment.
Hundreds of thousands Of dollars
are invested in her name alone.
Hence movie producers want a
star to safeguard her health. They
prize most the star whose private
like is such that she will serve them
longest on the screen.
This means that every girl hop
ing to make a substantial success in
the movies must ordain her life
with care.
But there is a supreme morale
without which no movie actor ever
arrived anywhere. OF it l will write
tomorrow.
