THE aRonERr GRAIN HIGHWAY,

THE "R0BERT GRAIN HIGHWAY,
AllpSouthern Maryland eagerly
awaits the formal celebration that
will be held in Upper Marlboro
tomorrow to commemorate the
starting OF construction work on
the new Million Dollar Robert
Grain Highway" For countless
numbers of years Southern Mary
landers have worked for and
dreamed about the time when
just such magnificent boule-
ward as will now be built would
come to their section of the State
and it is only natural that their
cup of joy should be filled to the
brim as they see all their past
hopes and dreams brought to sue
cessful fruition.
Construction of the new high
way marks the dawn Of new
era for all the counties on the
Western side of the Chesapeake
from St. Mary's to Baltimore, as
it will provide the means for more
direct, quick transportation from
the southcrnmost part OF the
Western Shore of Maryland o
the metropolis of the State-Bal-
timore-and also will bring much
closer the lines of communication
i'll the counties through which the
boulevard will pass.
AS has long been recognized,
one Of the drawbacks to a greater
expansion OF the agricultural pos
sibilities OF Southern Maryland
has been lack Of an improved
main highway. When work on
the Grain Highway is completed,
it is easy to visualize the vast ben
ehts that will accrue to Southern
Maryland because OF the splendid
facilities it will afford for travel
without il being necessary to CON
sumo too much time. Farm prod
ucts can be transported TO Balti-
more in relatively short time,
residents of each Of the counties
will be brought into closer touch
with one another, and with the
old-time inconvemences of travel
done away with. added prosper
ity is bound to follow.
While it is estimated that iour
years time will be required to
construct the new highway. the
people OF Southern Maryland will
give expression 70 their JOY at
tomorrow's celebration almost in
the same manner as if the road
already were finished. For fol-
lowing all the long years of wait
ing for this big Improvement to
arrive, the period OF construction
will pass by quickly. And, after
all. the stimulus for greater effort
that will be given TO Southern
Marylanders tomorrow BY seeing
the actual start made on the new
boulevard should be of far-reach-
ing effect.
1t is entirely fitting. in view of
the vast significance OF the begin
ming of construction work on the
highway, that a monument should
be dedicated that will stand as a.
memorial OF the peoples graft
tude, and this will be done tomor-
row. In future years when the
Robert Grain Highway Shall have
more than iustihed the labors OF
those who were Instrumental in
having 1t constructed. we hope
that the monument to be erected
tomorrow will still be standing so
that the future generation will
view it and have impressed on its
mind that with the unwilling of
that shaft a new and greater
Southern Maryland arose.
