TO CAPE HENRY
FROM CAPE LOOKOUT
Why Shouldn't The Federal Government
Build This It's Miles of Highway For Gov
ernment Service and National Recreation?
By w. O. SAUNDERS

Why not a hard surfaced
road on the Virginia and North
Carolina coast. from Cape
Henry. Va. to Cape Lookout.
N. C.. 4 distance of approxi-
matelv Us miles, to be built
and maintained bv the Federal
government? Why not?
Wherever the Federal government
builds IN army post. Il hospital. a
training school or an ammunition
depot it provides ample roads to
serve its properties. 1t built miles
and miles of roads to serve its army
base at SewellS Point near Norfolk.
Roads are built aud maintained
hv the Federal government i'll con-
nection with its important projects.
not only To serve the enterprises
themselves but to make them avail
able show places for the citizens
who are taxed To support them.
From Cape Henry To Cape Look
out the government maintains ~
Coast Guard Stations and six major
light houses employing personnel
of nearly 800 men. These Coast
Guard stations no longer serve
merely us life saving stations for
mariners in distress. but as an im-
pnrtant first line of national de-
Tense. They are watchful sentinelS
patroling every foot of the coast
night and day. on the lookout tor
SmugglerS in times of peace and on
the lookout for enemy submarines
and aircraftS in times of wal.
! Except for the six Coast Guard
! stations from Cape Henry To Wash
Woods which are supplied by motor
| truck. 22 of the Coast Guard stations
OH the North Caroliua Coast are
served 10y clumsy supply boats oper-
ating out of Elizabeth City. The
government could more economically
and better serve its Coast Guard
stations and ajur iignt houses by
motor trucks over government
highway conhectiag aH stations.
Such a road would not only serve
aS an important facility for all
these Coast Guard stations and
mai light houses. but would make
the Coast Guard and light house
service altogether more desirable
laml attractive for the highest type
of personnel. while opening up the
! greatest year round coastal play
ground in America for the American
people. The purpose of government
/ is not only to serve the people III
practical ways. but to provide recre-
ational opportunities and entertain
ment. where feasible, as well.
The cost of road from Cape
Henry to Cape Lookout would hard
! lv exceed the cost of the recent
aSsemblin. of the American Fleet
at New York or Hampton Roads, Il
costly pageant maintained for Il few
days for the enlightenment and ell
tertainment of the people.
Our government is spending mil
lions of dollars in the development
and maintenance Of great national

home none the worse for his expe-
rience when he attempted to ard
his life by placing his head on a
