Aycrv. in the principal address
before the convention, told of some
n the future aims of the highway
sssociption and some of the accom-
pushments which had put the asso-
slatlon's highway upon the map as
one Of the leading highways of the
middle west Reviewing briefly some
Of the benefits which would be de-
rived from great chain OF con-
nected highways, Avery said:
Master System Needed.
I'm order that this United states
nay be able TO develop higher
polnt Of efficiency, and that we, as
as citizens, may render the highest
services to our community and in
turn to all communities we must
have coordinate master system
OF highway leading from every rural
district, town and city to every other
rural district and community.
"A system Of such highways once
having been completed and the agrl-
cultural and industrial interests of
AR cities having kept pace with II In
tevelopment, we will be enabled by
the use Of these highways TO feed
and clothe the world in time OF
peace and to protect ourselves
against any kind Of invasion in time
OF war"
Speaking of his hopes In unifying
complete uninterrupted highway
for Albert Pike system. Avery said:
Pave Every Foot.
II will not be satisfied or willing
10 cease my efforts on this highway
until every foot from Colorado
Springs to Hot Springs is covered
with some type Of hard surface and
] trust that the delegates from the
different states and from tho local
subdivisions, known as counties will
return from this meeting with de-
termined effort TO provide funds for
paving every stretch Of highway in
their county.
The completion of every stretch
Of this highway means much TO this
association and 10 the highway but
! wish to invite your attention to
what Il means to all the towns and
cities through which this road leads.
" f,,a 20
that our particular town or city's
future is dependent upon some dis
coyery or phenomenal development
in order to assure its success. To
my mind this is not true for / be-
lieye that the success of every COM
munlty lies within radius of 25
to Is miles of that particular point
and that by the development of
highways, the type of the Albert
Pike, together with the united ef-
forts OF all of it's members along
this road 1t is possible and within
the reach OF every community 70
enjoy an exceptional growth and
continued prosperity.
Speaking of some ot the accom-
plishment8 In the way OF paving
stretches along the highway, Avery
said
Makes Scenic Road.
Recently under the leadership
Of Ed Reynolds of Leonard, Okla,
{ gap of about four miles in Wag-
,Iner county has been put in excel
'ent condition and is now one OF
the scenic portions of this road
connecting It with Muskogee's fine
system OF graveled highways leading
lhe entire length OF the county
60 Ia ca a
lhe bridge being built across the
Arkansas river az Webber Falls
passing on down through Sequoyah
county TO connect with the ST.
SVo'VO0 Albert Pike bridge at Fort
smith. The road from Fort Smith
70 Hot Springs is practically all in
Nceptlonally fine shape and can be
used this summer for touring with
ole assurance of being able to make
sVSu ume and to enjoy the beauti-
Practically all OF the Albert Pike
runway IN the state of Colorado
s aas been hard surfaced and many
,.eIches s,es have been added in the
,e or Kansas and the balance of
Jne art road is being maintained in
C'Acellent condition.
.o Marking Is Needed.
oue OF the things that must be
n %aeh up in this convention is the
vahg vualAihg OF every foot OF this high
ros, g IN each county. We have now
nsro veeheo a point where we can do
