RALEIGH. June 20. = People
in North Carolina are again be,
coming highway conscious ana
are not only wanting the present
highways maintained in good con-
dition but are waiting more new
roads, Chairman E. B. Jet1ress "
the state highway and pupne
works commission. said. Las.
summer, when the governdneenmo,
made the allotment of S9,0o0,ooo
of federal money to North Caro-
lima for new highway construc-
ton, the highway commission SION o re,
ceived requests for $50, 000,ooO
worth of new roads within a
month or so. Within the past
few weeks the movement has
started for doubling the width OF
State Highway No. 10 from
Goldsboro to Morehead City, a
distance of lot miles. and for
the development of several new
routes eastward to Morehead
CITY. as the result of the new
port terminal to be built there.
Many requests for the building
of new highways or for the hard
surfacing of present routes are
also being received from the
Piedmont and the west.
IF we are going to be able to
build even 10 per cent of the
roads we are being petitioned to
build we will not only need all
the federal funds we can get, but
all the state funds as WELL" JEFF
fress said. "In fact, some OF
these single projects now being
urged, would use UP almost the
entire federal allotment for this
coming year., and leave nothing
for other sections. The people
must decide between now and the
next session of the general assem-
bly whether they want more high
ways, and hence to keep the
present indications are. however,
that they want more and more
roads"
Under the new federal aid road
bill just signed by Presldent
Roosevelt. North Carolina will
get $4.840,941 for the fiscal
year 1934-35, for use without
having to be matched with state
funds, Jeffress said. But if this
money has to be expended under
the same rules and regulations
that have governed the expendi-
ture of this wears allotment, rs
per cent will have to be spent in
cities and towns on streets ira
versed by federal aid highways,
and 25 per cent on feeder roads
to federal aid roads, so that, in
reality only so per cent of the
total, or S2,400,000 will be avail
able for new construction work

When asked what he thought
Of the chances for "double track
ing" Route 10 from Goldsboro to
Morehead City, distance of lO7
miles, Jeffress said the first con-
sideration was where the money
would come from and that it was
not in sight. He also said he had
no idea what the commission
would do. but that so far it had
been the policy of the commits
sion to develop additional routes
through different territory rath-
er than enlarge upon one particu-
lar route. He pointed out that at
the present time new highway
is being built from Jacksonville
to Swansboro, where new
bridge has been completed, so
that it will be possible to go d.
rect from Jacksonville to More
head City by this route. This
route may be used either from
Goldsboro to Jacksonville to More
head City by using Routes 40
and % out of Goldsboro or
Route 121 from Kinston to Jack
sonville. This will also greatly
shorten the distance from Will
mington to Morehead City and
Beaufort. and all points along
the coast south Of Morehead.
These alternate routes can be de-
veloped and surfaced more cheap
ly than new routes can be built
or existing ones widened. since
only a few links need to be filled
in on these alternate routes.

with Henry Cotton, dashing Eng

the title. -.
Cotton yesterday followed his
smashing first round of 81 with
a record-breaking 65 to total !5E
and to lead the field by nine full
strokes. -
the part of Cotton and pair OF
miraculous rounds by one of the
pack could keep Henry from
winning.
Two Americans were in the Sc
lect group of four who might
steal honors from Cotton. Like
Hest was Denny Shute of Phlla-
delphia. defending champion
whose round in II yesterday gave
him an aggregate of 14S. Joe
Kirkwood of Chicago caught a
thrilling 90 and was bracketed
with Denny at 143. Between them
and Cotton was Alfred Padgham,
dependable British star, who has
scored ITO for 141. Charles
Whitcombe, brilliant member OF
a famous English professional
golfing family, was in q three,

Gene Sarazen is out and ne

tourney betting favorite hasn't a
chance of making up the 10
strokes by which he trails the

The fourth member of Ameri-

Case Cuttings
By E. H. CASE

The first half in the county
league is scheduled to end with
the 4th of July games for all the
teams except Fletcher and Mills
River. Ten games must be played
bv each team before the 1lrst
half is over, and Fletcher ana
Mills River will have taken part
in only nine contests when the
4th of July tits are over. Inc
two teams will meet in double
header July It'll to both finish up
their part of the first half and
start the second half. But so
close is the race this year that II
looks very much like two or three
teams NAV be tried for first
Mace when each team has engag-
ed in 10 games. And Ermando
Horatius Cascarindo refralns
from even venturing a guess as
to who will occupy the top perch
when it's all over. But while no
team except Balfour can be defl-
nitely counted out of 1t, 1t APP
pears now that the fight will be
a four-cornered affair with East
Flat Rock, Fletcher, Mills River
and Valley Hill as the partici.
pants. East Flat Rock should
win but Fletcher and Mills River
are plenty strong and Valley Hill
is a question mark. Yep, and Sa-
linda NAV he the dark horse.
East Flat Rocks batting aver
ages made me think of the mum,

might profit by swapping teams
with that town.
E. Gibbs is leading the Valley
Hill team in batting with a 379
average, and that is pretty fail
hitting, o. Brock is second with
a 367 average.
Now it has been discovered OF
learned by a noted doctor that
all great athletes like Dempsey,
