hands anew today at the State line

from Canada to southern Florida.
Gov. Harry f. Byrd. representing
Virginia, and Gov. Angus w. Nc.
Lean of North Carolina, opened
gates between the two States and
shook hands across the line. The
same form of greeting was given by
II. T.. Shirley, Virginia highway COM
missioner. and Frank Page, North
Carolina commissioner.
THE event we are celebrating to.
day is merely another evidence of the
close relationship that has existed
from the very beginning of the two
colones,' the North Carolina Gov
ernor said. This slab of cement is
only an outward sign that the ties of
friendship between US are cemented
all the closer.
THE opening of the gates over this
imaginary boundary line is symbolic
of the utter absence of any barrier
between the Old North State and the
Mother of States
Gov. Byrd of Virginia, former Gov.
Trinkle of Virginia and the two
States highway commissioners also
spoke of the benefits to be derived
from this great transcontinental high
way, the Virginia link of which wax
opened today.
The two governors each unlocked
half of a large gate which had been
constructed across the highway on the
Virginia North Carolina line. Several
hands from Virginia. airplanes and
dirigibles from Langley Field. auto
mobiles and fleets of motor cycle po-
lice from both States augmented the
presence of thousands of citizens cele-
hrating Nirginia's contribution to the
Federal Highway along route
which three centuries ago was used
by runners and scouts.
