one of the premier Winter resorts OF
the country. Here in the pine belt may
be enjoyed all outdoor sports, golf on
five courses, horseback riding, tennis,

Side Run to Coast.
Motorists who want to visit for a few
days along Virginia's ocean coast,
should turn east at Richmond running
via Toano, williamsburg Lee Hall, all
most down to Newport News. Here
there is a choice of routes. One is to
cross over the James River Bridge, and
then over the other two bridges, one
over the Chuckatuck Greek, and the
other over the Nansemond River, COM
ing into Portsmouth. Ferry service is
available to Norfolk, and then 1t is a
20-mile run out to Virginia Beach, on
the Atlantic Coast.
The other route is to ferry from
either Newport News or Old Point
Comfort directly to Norfolk, and then
run out to the coast. Virginia Beach
is coming to the front more and more
each year as popular an-year-round
resort. All manner of outdoor sports
are available, and bathing may be en-
joyed from early Summer until late
Fall. There also IS excellent hunting
in the country roundabout. This par
ticular section Of Virginia is filled with
points of historic interest, and Virginia
Beach is an excellent location at which
to stay and then make short trips into
the surrounding country.
When the motorist is ready to con-
tinue his journey southwark, he may
retrace to Portsmouth, and then run
via Franklin, Conway, Jackson and
Weldon into Norlina, and then south
on Route Or, If he prefers, he can
go back just to Portsmouth and then
turn south onto the Atlantic Coastal
Highway. This leads the motorist
southwark via Elizabeth City, Edenton,
New Bern to Wilmington, where the
route turns inland, running over to
Chadbourn, N, c., and thence to Mar

Cary, and then down through Southern
Pines into Pinehurst, which is located

After a stopover here, run back to the
main road, coming in at Aberdeen, and
continuing south via Hoffman, Rock
ingham, then across the line into
South Carolina. Through the Palmetto
State the highway runs via Cheraw,
McBee and Bethune into Camden.
After Camden comes Columbia, the
capital of the State, and then beyond

Aiken, Americas Winter polo center,
and the only city in the United States
prohibiting the laying of concrete or
paved roads within its corporate limits.
